Obama & Co. Stop Taking the Bait
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 07:44 PM by stratomagi
You have more delegates, much more money, you're John McCain to her Mike Huckabee.

So why act as if she's on equal footing?

Because the Clintons are acting as if they are and the Obama camp is letting them. Her floating the idea of him working for her a few weeks ago was genius. Chutzpah on steroids.

This is causing real problems for Obama. The answer isn't for Hillary to quit, it's for Obama to convince her supporters to abandon her.

Hillary Clinton is still virtually tied with Obama nationwide. Pundits and Obama supporters (like me) might wish that the millions and millions of Hillary Clinton supporters get with the program but instead they are becoming more and more energized and entrenched. They, in general, are less-college-educated, blue-collar whites, the famous "Reagan Democrats," whom if Obama loses to McCain, he loses the election. Those rank-and-file white Democrats haven't gotten the message that Hillary's cause is now virtually hopeless.

3. Much of that is media driven.
Do you think if this was say, on the republican side, the press wouldn't let it be known the math is getting out of hand for one of the candidates?
