And she's going to rip the party apart now.

1. She doesn't sound very enthusiastic
She must be pretty tired.

17. She doesn't sound defeated to me - just unenthusiastic
Especially after McAuliffe billed it is the greatest speech ever.

15. If they do, they'll be cutting off the party nose to spite it's face.

21. I think the party is being held hostage by the clinton machine...
she keeps moving the goal posts, trashing the presumptive nominee and taking the focus off of McCain (where it should fucking be for both Clinton and Obama). If she uses the "nuclear option", she will have shown herself to be more of an egoist than a democrat who cares about the future of the country. I'll vote for her, but if she loses, she has blown her political career for all times and rightly so...

4. CNN shows 2025 on the left side of the screen
Just another Hillary lie.

Obama will still claim the nomination with more than 50% of the pleged delegates next week in Oregon.

7. She'll never get both.. 50/50 is what RBC will be giving her as her final, best deal.
She had a chance to agree to the MI deal, but she blew it off, as usual.

8. No - She's Huckabee With A Pantsuit
She's burying herself with every day she continues this egomaniacal run, and she's the only person that doesn't see it.

Hope Bill enjoys the destruction of what legacy he had by this campaign.

18. Huckabee didn't trash his party's nominee
Clinton does it on a daily basis.

22. I noticed Huckabee was an MSNBC talking head this evening...do you think
Hillary will end up behind a desk, trading insight with Matthews? Or is Fox a better fit?

10. Remedy: Animal tranquilizer, blow dart, and a net.
I do believe she has lost her mind or is hoping voters have.

No worries. Obama will shut her down right quick and in a hurry.

11. Can she be forcibly removed from the party?
This coup attempt of hers cannot be allowed.

They're not trying to take over just this nomination, they're trying to take over the entire party.

She is not a Democrat.

13. No she wont.
The SD's will begin to throw in w/Obama big time to cancel out her "Nuke Option". And other factors will 'convince' her to drop out by months end.

29. the magic number
has ALWAYS been a simple majority of the seated delegates. If FL and MI are seated, then that's the magic number.

28. What if the SD come out all for Obama? Would it just
shut the whole thing down? Folks I am a little old lady and I can not take that women talking for the next 8 years. I want to go out of this world knowing change is on the way and not the same old group in DC. I was born under FDR and it would be just great to go out with a new type of President in DC.
