1. They'll try to spin any win as a huge, landscape altering victory
But the bottom line is that if he keeps it within 10, she's toast!

3. It's all about the delegates
regardless of the goalposts... unless Hillary makes significant delegate gains,
she's just falling further behind with the clock running out.

4. I hope not. I hope there ARE going to be many happy HRC supporters.
That keeps the race going and the slight chance of a brokered convention still on the table.

8. A brokered convention = we lose the GE
It would be a clusterfuck of unprecedented proportions.

The SuperD's will never let it get that far - not even close.

We need to build unity over the summer, not more DISunity. "Diss" would be the operative word if this goes on all summer.

15. I think we'll lose the GE with either of the current two.
Partly because I don't think either are especially electable, but more because they are polarizing, and they have both divided the party beyond immediate repair after the convention.

The only chance I see to unify the party in November is to nominate a candidate who can.

That won't be Obama or HRC.

17. Hillary polarizes all but her supporters
Obama unifies (mostly) all but her supporters.

And I was a BIG Kucinich supporter!

LWolf, if Obama is the nominee, will you at least cast a vote for him?

18. That's not true.
I am no supporter of HRC, and yet I find Obama's campaign and platform to be offensive.

I am not the only one.

The body of people who appalled by both of them is not as vocal as the cheerleaders for either side, but they still exist.

Still, even if it were "all but her supporters," her supporters are a pretty large block to lose in November.

10. Nostradamus on the 2004 election
Book 10, Quatrain 79:
"Great tides bewoe the lilting tower
In Naples, a beast of amber hurls
Foul tidings to the wounded prince
Much wailing; a fish swims north
"

Like most Nostradamus quatrains, it's a little tough to decode. But I'm pretty sure this is about ballot-stuffing in Ohio.

12. Pssst, here's a helpful hint: Think before you post
Wouldn't hurt if you lost the Manichaean world outlook, but for the time being I think rational thought would be a step forward.



GOBAMA!!
