Reply #14: I know you might believe that some sort of "buyer's remorse" might set in with Obama,

[TwilightGardener]

that she'll get some sort of insane momentum out of PA and maybe win IN and NC and suddenly the SD's will say, ZOWIE, she's onto a whole new ballgame! Never mind what Obama EARNED in those earlier states, it's only the last few that matter! Who knows, that could happen, and they might decide to ignore the pledged-delegate totals and hand it to her if Obama suffers a string of big losses. However, he's most likely going to keep the upcoming contests closer than they look in polls now (except for WV)--then what? Is she going to keep sending out people like Kerrey and Shaheen and Ferraro to drop their shit-bombs, keep having Bill make dog-whistle "read between the lines" statements, keep mocking his supporters with sarcasm and stereotyping as latte-sipping elitists, keep bringing up the word "unamerican", keep praising McCain and elevating him over Obama? There's a lot of Obama supporters who understand that the GE is going to be ugly, and would rather not allow that sort of senseless damage a head start to sink into the public consciousness, especially from his own side, if she's unlikely to win any other way. Her campaign said, after Wisconsin, that the plan was to drive his negatives up. I'm sorry, I'd rather not see that happen.
