Hillary coverage 24/7. Seems like the tide is turning, Go Hillary!
The discussion of momentum is now in Hillary's camp. With TV, radio and newspaper coverage discussing Hillary's campaign, the momentum is changing.

<snip>

"Obama, to stop her, really has to win one of the two big states. Then the delegate math does take over," said Tad Devine, a top strategist for the Al Gore and John Kerry presidential campaigns.

But if Clinton wins both, she is likely to stay in the race.

"Even if the math works in Obama's favor, if he loses two big states, I don't think that's how you win the nomination," Devine said. "You don't win the nomination by losing. You have to win the nomination by winning, or at least splitting ... I think it's going to be incumbent on Obama to win one of those big states if he wants the race to end tomorrow."

2. "You don't win the nomination by losing."
Is he aware that Hillary has lost 12 contests in a row?

4. I'm glad you're admitting it's been 24/7 coverage
because it has been. Howard Wolfson, Mark Penn and company have b****-slapped the media and now they're being compliant little pawns.

The "momentum" you speak of is in D.C. -- it has nothing to do with what may be happening on the ground. Perception IS NOT ALWAYS reality.

7. Sure, he needs to win one to end it tomorrow
But that doesn't mean his chances of eventually winning it are significantly reduced if he doesn't win either Texas or Ohio.

10. If the numbers indicate
...a swing - a change in momentum - then I think staying in is clearly the responsible thing for Hillary. For those who long for it to be settled: pressure Obama to consider a graceful exit so the party has time to heal and unite for November.

13. You wish!!!
I used to think Hillary would be a decent alternative. I'm wondering more and more now. That said, I'm still a yellow dog Democrat, even if I have to hold my nose to vote for the yellow dog.

16. Despite what the M$M would like us to believe, they actually don't choose our winners, we do.
The only vote that counts is the peoples vote, not the media's vote...
