Hillary Is Not Trying To Win The Nomination. She's Trying To Ruin Obama's GE Chances.
She, and her campaign, know full well that the math is against her, and that the Super delegates won't pull the nomination away from Obama when he will have the lead in delegates and in the popular vote. So, her only recourse is to ruin Obama's chances in the fall, and hope that McCain wins. Hence, she will get another crack at in 2012.

Hillary is a pathetic, cartoon character of a politician. She does not possess the political charisma that her husband has, and she will never, ever win the White House. She has burned too many bridges in her own party to have any realistic future political ambitions.

2. I came to that same conclusion in the last week
sadly--for both us as a party and our nation as a whole.

3. Which is why the Clintons did nothing in 2004 to help win that election
And I already got attacked for posting this in another thread.

8. Bingo!
And that's why Kerry endorsed Obama.

4. Not one of them will stop them
I was surprised today when Nancy Pelosi came out swinging.

I am still shocked.

9. I like Obama
but a lot of his supporters on DU don't think rationally IMO.

If Hillary doesn't get the nomination this time, she won't get another shot. She knows that.

10. Sen Clinton is a corporatist and doesn't care a schite about the Democratic party
The corporations rule and they are firmly behind McBush and Sen. Clinton. She won't give in to help the Party.

15. Corporate America Desperately Wants The 30 Year Reign of Reganism To Continue
That's why the Fed is pumping inflated money into the economy, and it's why the MSM is single-handedly keeping Hillary in this race.

14. If Obama had the popular vote wrapped up you may have had a point
If she wins the popular vote she deserves the nomination and the sd's are unlikely to overturn the popular will.

16. She Won't Get The Popular Vote
She cannot ever get it even with re-votes in FLA and Mich.

17. Just "hoping" that won't happen doesn't mean it will
He leads by only 600k and Hill can take 250-350k out of that lead in PA alone... That would cut the margin to 250-350k and she already won Florida alone by 300k.
