The truth of it is that if Clinton does not win Ohio and Texas she probably just runs out of gas

This is assuming Obama wins Wisconsin tonight... If she can not win those two states....It would be 12-15 straight losses and the money is going to simply dry up.

1. Technically, you should not say stuff like "The truth is" when you are speaking

hypothetically. The point is well taken though.

2. If she loses either state it is over.

Even if she wins both states but does so in very close matches, chances are it will be over.

She has to make it very close today and win handily in TX & OH to have a shot.

3. I agree with you on that

And if she loses one of them the result has to be extremely close while she wins the other by a healthy margin in order for Hillary to still have any chance.

4. That's OK, her supporters on DU have plenty of gas to share. n/t

5. The republican's are crossing over in WI to vote for her

They think she's beatable. (I'm sure we have a few dem's voting for chuckles but he doesn't have a chance) I wouldn't do it because I think is unethical. I wish all the states would go to closed primaries, that way we would have a better chance of picking our own candidates.

We have some really stupid people here, and I'm sure we aren't alone. In my city there is one ward that has a run off for alderperson so people outside that ward have only one bubble to fill in. We have machines that kick out the ballot if people fill it out wrong and I guess there are quite a few that have had to get second ballots - which requires our over-worked and under-paid poll workers to fill out forms. They need new forms because they voted both in the republican and democratic primary. Personally, I think they should be SOL they cast their vote just because they were stupid and didn't read the rules or listen to the news in recent days and voted wrong shouldn't give them a chance to do over.

6. There are two theories on this...

well three.

the first is that it does not happen

but one theory is that they would rather face her in the General election and will vote for her for that reason.

The other is that they would rather help vanquish her now by voting for Obama because they are not entirely sure she is beatable in the fall.


Best bet is that they would cote against her twice...by voti8nf gor Obama now and in November.

Since there is no conclusive proff that a grand conspiracy exists and there is no real evidence of which they would go....I think yiou have to assume that 1/2 would vote for Hillary and the other Half would vote for Obama. So the effect on the Democratic race is only marginal if there is any at all.

7. it does happen

we have one fool posting on our local newspaper blog for republicans to do just that


When our last Attorney General primary election was run I heard four old lady republicans giggling in the hall that they voted for the dem they thought their republican could beat. Four little old ladies don't come up with that on their own and we now have a Republican General Attorney.
