Hillary is expected to win every single one of these elections.

Hillary freaking Clinton. The ex-presidents wife. The woman with 99% name recognition, all the connections, and all the money is supposed to be winning all of these primaries. Somehow she's not. That's remarkable. Obama deserves a lot of credit. I think the proof that Obama is more electable is evidenced by his 18-19 state wins thus far.

2. Hillary is losing by not winning. Obama is winning by not losing.
Just like Marvin Hagler losing Leonard in 1987.

do you think he will sellout the american people that is the question.

I don't think so. I think he will be a great president.

the clintons have proven to use the national seat for personal profit and gain.

19. Check out this Bloomberg article from Feb. 2007. It's almost surreal.
Obama's `Netroots' Take On Clinton's Big Bundlers in 2008 Race

<snip>

help counter the fundraising prowess of the party's front-runner, Senator Hillary Clinton. Hearing about the event, at the Wyndham Dallas North hotel, Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe called in and someone held a cell phone to a microphone so he could address the crowd.

<snip>

Obama, 45, is relying on a grassroots effort aimed at online activists -- what political operatives call a ``netroots'' strategy -- to help him compete in a primary race that may come with an entry fee of $100 million. Clinton, 59, has already locked up many of the top Democratic business leaders and activists known as ``bundlers'' who can use their networks to gather maximum contributions from individuals.

``A million people aren't coming to a $100-a-plate dinner tomorrow; a million people could go to the Internet tomorrow and give Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton $100,'' said Trippi, author of ``The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet, and the Overthrow of Everything.''

<snip>

Geffen touched off angry exchanges between the campaigns when he told a New York Times columnist that the Clintons lie ``with such ease.'' The Clinton campaign called for Obama to return the money Geffen raised and denounce his comments, prompting Obama's campaign to point out that the Clintons had no problem with Geffen when he was raising money for them.

The wrangling underscored just how intense the battle has become almost a year before the first votes are cast and how much is at stake by getting a fundraising edge. While Bush asked his top contributors to bring in $100,000 each in 2000, Clinton is asking hers to collect as much as $1 million.

24. Clearly Obama has done a great job in mobilizing his campaign. Congratulations to him.
But the race is not over by any means.

30. Agreed
Plus, the DNC set up this front-loaded primary calendar to benefit Clinton, back when McAuliffe was DNC chair. By all reasonable logic, Obama shouldn't still be in this race. The fact that he is still standing is a tribute to what a great candidate he is and to the incredible grassroots organization he has built.
