AP, just an unrelated thought. I have seen the words “FOREGONE CONCLUSION”, as you used above a few hundred times in reading the blogs. As I remember my high school English, you don’t “go” a conclusion, you “draw” a conclusion, therefore, the proper term is “foredrawn conclusion” Am i correct? Just asking. I really enjoy your work.

The conclusion has gone before the event that it settles… it’s a foregone conclusion. It’s about the order, not the action itself.

The race will come down to economics. Obama’s whole yuppie/minority pandering career has left him unable to comprehend “it’s the economy stupid.”

Hillary knows he’s a disaster for Dems.

Hence she’s sticking around. I think the demos out IN are pretty tough for Obama’s campaign — he won basically with an influx of Blacks/College Kids. I don’t see that replicated nationwide.

She’s offering the most effective pander. She shouldn’t quit.

Keep Going Hillary! Take down the Obamessiah.

Obama is just a Nestle’s Crunch Billy Jeff.

She can crush his puffed rice kernels, too.

Keep clawing, Hilly girl!

Barry will commit a catastrophic faux pas if this is dragged out long enough.

Keep it dragging!

There’s more behind Wright and Ayers.

Expose this upstart interloper buttinski!

Smash his little Obamas to waffles!

Why should she drop out? Neither have made it to enough delegates to win outright. That’s why the democrats created the “Super Delegates”. I don’t fault her for carrying on. Hell, I would soldier on, too! If part of my base already hates me (blacks) and I’m still close why not go on!!?!?!?

I agree with you. Obama doesn’t have it in the bag, but you sure wouldn’t know that from the coverage.

THe Tonya Harding option lives on !

There is also the Vince Foster option.

The Eagleton scenario: Bambi starts looking so crazy that the supers have to vote for Hillary. And/or Faline gets even more unpalatable.

Hey… It isn’t as if I was ADVOCATING it…
Just reminding people of ancient history.
Most people seem unable to remember things from a week ago, much less what happened on July 20, 1993.

Hillary had all the dirt on Obama from the start, when she was ahead and he was nobody. Why didn’t they use it then?

Because she didn’t think she had to and she didn’t want to be the Bad Guy, knifing a fellow candidate in the back. It’s elementary, really.

Now, however, it’s beginning to look as if she will have to and I, for one, can’t wait. It’ll be grand. Either it will destroy Obama for the general or it’ll miraculously cause the convention to snatch the nomination away from him which, then, will destroy the Democrat Party.

Go Hillary! Damn, I may have to donate to the Hildebeest if that’s what it’ll take to keep this show going.

Sorry, I just don’t see her going on like this, throwing money out the window unless she’s got some sneaky plan up her sleeve. It may be a dumbass one that won’t work in the end, but whether it works or not we still get to enjoy the show.

Loving every minute of it.

Quti this nonsense. Only Kos is known for it, and the HuffPoo. Don’t go there. Those are latrines, full of rats. Don’t become one.

When asked if Clinton has a chance still, Pelosi replied

“You never know in elections.”

“As long as a campaign is going and the candidates are in the race, there is always a possibility.”

Curious, form someone who wanted to desperately end it…what does she know?

Good lord. Conduct yourself with a little dignity in the face of death, Hillary, please.

Surely you can’t be serious. Dignity and the name of any Clinton do not belong in the same sentence.

It takes a village to stop her !

William Amos on May 7, 2008 at 4:24 PM

I prefer a city myself, preferably Denver.

As it is, they would still have to be careful about how they release whatever she’s got, else it looks like “oh well, I lost NC, but hey, he’s a poopyhead!”
