No flamebait here I promise. I really want to know if some Hillary supporters really see a way for her to win the nomination?

2. If the party wants to win (see Mich poll) she'll be on ticket- but who needs unity?

4. That poll only shows that her supporters are "upset" right now.....
Edited on Fri May-30-08 11:52 PM by FrenchieCat
and are polling for McCain until she gets on the ticket. She's not slick and neither are you. It's so obvious.

11. Yup. There's also poll-busting.

Rasmussen's notoriously vulnerable to it. SurveyUSA isn't even a legitimate sociometrician, so they're totally blown by it.

19. I dunno. I enjoy eating grapes and for some perverse reason
I occasionally enjoy chomping into a sour one.

3. In which year?
The Hillary supporters know she wont win, so they're following along in her pursuit to keep our nominee from having a viable chance to win the GE this year.

7. I sincerely hope she wins the nomination. She's the best candidate for the Presidency.

9. It's over now! - But, if Obama wins in Montana & South Dakota on Tuesday in the final primaries...
Edited on Sat May-31-08 12:39 AM by LaPera
which he probably will....(still, it'll be close) at the very least Obama will win most of the 16 delegates up for grabs in those two states....Then will the Clinton people finally concede that it's really & truly over?

Will they?

16. Money talks, bullshit walks -- and she's broke
Why would the party want to kiss off all the Obama small donations -- he's still got money in the bank, can tap small donors for more, and she's completely played out .

20. I don't think that's true
I believe that some of them, hopefully not all, want to see Obama go down in flames come November because he had the audacity to stand up to her and GASP beat her for the nomination she and Bill thought was going to be handed to her on a silver platter

24. I think she still has about a 20, 30% chance of getting there.
In the long run, Michigan and Florida won't matter much either way. It's the fact that

1) Obama can't win without a few hundred SuperDs.
2) The SuperDs have the inalienable right to change their minds.
3) A week is a lifetime in politics: so what's THREE LONG MONTHS come out to?

ON TO DENVER - in distant late August!
