[Teaser]

these things will bounce around.

3. You will see

That Clinton will come on strong the rest of this run.

8. I'll bet a hundred bucks the lead changes within two weeks

you up for it?

(national lead....too easy a bet for me to win if we're just talking about an arbitrary state).

2. Well, they will say the polls do not matter right now

Obama supporters defend the tie in Massachusetts! Loose a blue state to McCain. This will be a Mondale vs. Regan election if Obama gets the nood.

4. worse.

7. How pathetic is it that Hillary can't even defeat someone who's worse than Mondale?

What does that say about Hillary?

5. What the hell is wrong with Massachusetts? nt

6. The polls show that the Democratic Party needs to have a nominee SOON.

[Political Heretic]

9. The Democratic Party HAS a nominee.

Most pledged delegates
Most popular vote
Most states won

That the democratic party allows hillary to continue her scorched earth campaign against the winner and that she chooses to do it despite the best interests of party, public and country is the biggest disgrace I've ever seen.

She can't win. All she can do is continue to destroy the party and promote a McCain presidency.

10. Hillary isn't winning Ohio in a general. She'll do better there than Obama.

McCain's crew will go full bore in Ohio, and the rural Ohioans who don't like Hillary will be going in droves for McCain. Drive down the interstate south of Columbus, and you'll see how hard Hillary's job will be. Not even Strickland will be able to get it done for her.

Ohio is a huge obstacle for any Democrat in a presidential election who isn't named BILL Clinton.
