To be honest I had thought the SD lead would be less than zero by now. Slowly, but surely...

1. Obama's plan is to let it drip as she stays in the race.

4. I hope he isn't black.

It is already sad enough that he comes from a state that doesn't matter, but he needs to be a white guy to count. Thems the rules, and Hillary makes em.

7. The message is clear

And its great that Obama is confident enough to let her chose her own exit. I don't think anyone wants to humiliate Hillary. You could argue she is humiliating herself and I wouldn't argue. But since the beginning Obama has tried to take the High road and I am impressed that he continues to do so.

I think he could easily make the call for this to end anytime he wanted to and get it at this point. It is pure class to let it slowly trickle in despite any continuing attacks.

9. I'm not as concerned what she's doing to herself as what she is doing to the Party.

There comes a time when one must put aside their personal aspirations and think of the greater good.

12. I agree one hundred percent

Hopefully hillary will too before she ruins her political future.

10. i was under the impression that they weren't wanting a flood of

SD to quickly move in and close the deal because the party needs to unite and if they did that Hillary's supporters would see it as the establishment pushing her out and would be more upset and make it more difficult to unify the party.

11. Ahh, that makes a lot of sense

okey dok. I'll try to be more patient!

13. yay. I think a few a day is better than a flood basically forcing her out.

14. I'm Thinking The Day She Wins WV Is The Day Obama Will Exceed Her Total ....

Super Delegates. How cool would that be?

15. Rick Larsen of WA announced for Obama

17. Make that lead down to 7!

18. Hillary's gonna prove me wrong

I predicted that she would suspend BEFORE she loses her Superdelegate lead because that would be the best way for her to save face and go out while still retaining a majority of Party support.
