It's time to double, Barack

[Android3.14]

HRC and Obama have obviously played a lot of backgammon (the game of Kings, after all). When you are losing the game, a good player tries to extend the game in order to create time for random opportunities to occur in order for the player to regain the advantage.

I have seen games come down to the final roll many times, and I've seen likely losers turn into unlikely winners.

She should bow out, but Obama needs to figure out a way to force her to decline a "double" offer.

1. Patience, grasshopper--the wheels are already in motion.

Hillary's superdelegate lead--the last weapon in her arsenal--is nearly in the single digits already. Whatever ground Obama loses in WV and KY he'll make up for in Oregon by May 20. With enough pledged delegates to clinch the lead (he needs 33) he'll be able to call in enough super delegates (he needs 136) to hit 2025. (Hillary needs 202 pledged delegates to clinch, which she can get only by winning all six of the remaining contests with 86% of the vote.) Then on May 31, the DNC will meet to make a decision about seating the MI/FL delegates. Since DNC chair Howard Dean will not endanger the future of either himself or the progressive Dems by allowing them to be seated as is, do not expect the decision to help Hillary, especially since she will be completely out of leverage.
