Let's keep this in perspective. Hillary is still very much within striking distance.

[elixir]

As horrible as the race has been for Hillary since super duper Tuesday, she's still very much in this race. And wouldn't it be just like the Clintons to get back into this thing. I wouldn't be surprised.

[Quixote1818]

1. I agree, it aint over till the fat lady sings. nt

[Occam Bandage]

2. Yes, she is. OH and TX can turn this around. She's a master at controlling expectations.

[AX10]

3. Let's get this straight. Obama is the FRONT RUNNER!

[Colobo]

7. He never was, and he is not.

[AX10]

10. Yes he is. He has the momentum and the delegate lead...

after tonight.

So stop this underdog shit!

[BeatleBoot]

14. You're right!

Obama awaits the trial of Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

[Colobo]

16. Hillary Clinton is the establishment. Obama is the insurgent.

He was never supposed to win. This was Hillary's time... :)

[jackson_dem]

25. Obama has the entire msm behind him. Hillary is the underdog

She is also at a big financial disadvantage.

[Colobo]

29. Underdog? Hillary Clinton was the queen of National Polls

until a couple of days ago!

[jackson_dem]

32. That is before the $1 million a day candidate began bombarding folks with ads

[elixir]

19. Obama: 1207 Clinton: 1194. she's within striking distance.

[Spider Jerusalem]

30. Those totals include superdelegates. So no, really, she isn't.

In COMMITTED DELEGATES...Obama leads by over 100. She's NOT within 'striking distance'. The writing is on the wall. There are several hundred uncommitted superdelegates who're waiting to see which way the wind is blowing befire they commit; with Obama's (increasing) lead in committed delegate totals, they're likely to back him. And Hillary won't get the 60%+ of the vote she needs in TX and OH to make up the numbers.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. It's still pretty much a tie, if Obama wins Wisconsin I might call him the frontruner

[MannyGoldstein]

4. But I'm Thinking That The Inevitable Bit Is Toast

And resistance? No longer futile.

[tandem5]

new surveyusa she's up by 17 in ohio nt

[eileen_d]

5. Agreed

There's no way she should give up.

[kypp]

6. The sooner she concedes,

the better off we'll be for November.

[BeatleBoot]

13. who's we?

[kypp]

20. Those of us who are desperate for change.

[elixir]

22. If Obama was down by less than 20 delegates, would you ask him to concede?

[kypp]

24. No, but ...

she's down by 100 pledged delegates now, without counting DC.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. She has to win HUGE in Texas and Ohio...something she has yet to do anywhere yet....

Not impossible, just not at all probable.

[tekisui]

12. Not gonna happen.

It just won't.

[BeatleBoot]

9. I would agree

[speedoo]

11. Yes, but her campaign is apparantly in disarray, and the momentum...

is with her opponent, who is now gaining in her "firewall" voter groups: latinos and women. She's in big trouble.

[AlCzervik]

15. you're right, it's not over but 10 in a row is pretty damn awesome.

[A_Titanic_Mess]

17. Tom Brokaw states Hillary winning the polls....

when polls asked who will be the best commander in chief, and who will be ready on day one. But her "negatives" are what keep people from supporting her. I just don't get it...if you think she will be ready day one, and you think she will be the strongest president of the two, then why gamble on the unknown because of perceived negatives???

[AX10]

27. It's the image thing.

Obama is getting these wins because of the image, not the reality. Hillary is ready to lead on day one.
If the people want another Bush, then so be it...I am not happy, but so be it.....

[HeraldSquare212]

18. I agree, but her big supporters are getting very antsy.

I almost fell out of my chair hearing Paul Begala saying that as a supporter, he wanted to see her winning. You'd think he would just parrot some lines about TX, OH and PA, but he was making a lot of the fact that she was in the middle of a long dry spell.

[LWolf]

21. perspective. nt

[Rowdyboy]

26. She's in a rough patch but this year has proved everything is possible

if not probable

[KAZ]

28. Just watch the money. Hope is one thing...

.. She didn't just lose 3 states tonight. She lost $25 mil.

[yeswecan08]

31. VA was the tipping point. Hillary has no hope going forward

[wileedog]

33. She's Toast....

She won California on absentee ballots and 1st generation Mexican immigrants well before Obama became the media darling.

She has almost nothing else to hang her hat on, other than a completely screwed up situation in Florida. No one has the stomach for another legal fight in Florida to determine a potential Presidency.

It's just waiting for a fat lady to sing.
