3. LOL, no one can reach 2209 because no delegates from Michigan and Florida have been awarded
It's an impossible standard.

8. She moved them one to many times
She has no credibility. Soon she'll be lucky if the local news plays her stopping by for a rally.

9. I wonder if they laugh when they make this shit up. I'm sure they laugh and wonder
if the media and the public is stupid enough to believe Clinton's version of reality?

10. Don't bother memorizing it.
If Obama gets there, the Clintons will just pick a new one.

15. doesnt matter what milestones he reaches
they will just say everyone can change their minds and go on to the convention.

They will not stop until he wins at the convention and even then I am not fully convinced that she wouldn't consider an independent campaign.

I believe she thinks this is her one shot, and she has no desire for anything short of the presidency, so she doesnt care about future rep or standing, its all or nothing.

17. She is just getting reved up.
She has lost the nomination. She has shattered what little legacy Bill left for himself. Now, she has apparently torn the Party in half, and more than likely cost herself her Senate seat. All this because of her selfishness and me, me ,me, attitude. I don't know but I'll bet Washington will be a different place to her when she goes back. She has no reason to leave one un-swung punch in the ring when the final bell rings, so to speak.

"working Americans, hard working white Americans"...unbelieveable.

He has broken through the Huckabee Index.

20. The magic number for '08 is 2024.5
I don't recall anyone in the Hillary camp saying otherwise until just a few days ago.

22. They won't, as a bloc anyway
It'll be a few at a time until June 4, then this will be over- at least in the eyes of most, probably not in Hillary's or her most delusional supporters, though.
