If Hillary were to continue the tenor of the last debate, the Dems would have a definite advantage in staying in the limelight. Of course, Hillary pulled out the kitchen sink and this has hurt both candidates. So it's not the fact that Dems are playing out the process it is how the game is played.
Mississippi just closed, advantage Obama but too close to call.
That's not the way I see it.
The last week of the final face-off is what matters.
There's the one's who have made up their minds. They don't count. It's the floaters who count. And they like floating. It makes them feel mildly intellectual.
They are the battle ground and experienced floaters float all the way to the polling station, float up to the voting booth, vote, at the last moment, and float out again.
And us die-hards, on either side, owe them a vote of thanks because they keep the "servants of the people" on their toes.
Mr McCain, being extremely experienced, will be orchestrating a crescendo wherein minor highlights before the interval are but a distant memory.
I think Mrs Clinton will be much the most interesting opponent.
Mississippi goes to Obama.
Obama wins MS.
Chuck Todd predicts a 7-11 delegate gain for Obama.

Clinton has to win 64% in every remaining state to catch Obama.
Obama needs 46% of ALL remaining delegates to hit 2025. Not even 50%, and he would secure the nomination.
Every state he wins from here on out will make her numbers just that much worse. And she needs a huge win in PA, just huge. A close win will leave her in basically the same boat.

I scooped you! He also said Hillary now needs 64% of the remaining vote to pull even in pledged delegates.
Now you scooped me.
Oops, you got me this time. So who will be tonight's WORST PERSON OF THE WORLD??? Ferraro?

That's asking a lot of the floaters but if they want to keep floating enough they will float in and vote for Mrs Clinton.

SHUT UP!....you've been clammoring on and on and on and on and on and on about how Clinton needs to drop out of the race...how it's over and you don't understand why she's staying.....now your saying that it's OK that she stays, but only if she's nice.
Give me a break, you're giving all left leaning people on this board a bad name.

I am willing to concede I might be getting old and out of touch, but sometimes I read a sentence, apparently written in English, or more specifically Americaneze, and I have no idea what it means. Thats an example. What do you mean tico? Is it possible to express this idea in a written language that might convey meaning to me, a native English speaker?
I, too, am willing to concede you might be getting old and out of touch.
Which word are you struggling with, Steve? Disease?

None of those are what are normally referred to as 'likely possibilities.'

The obvious Clinton solution to this crisis is if only Obama would just agree to be the vp.

You want delegates who were allocated on the basis of the popular vote to switch sides now?
By the way, the Ferraro stuff now has its own thread, FYI:

(I mention it because I planned to post a follow-up here -- she keeps digging a deeper hole -- but found a thread devoted to it so posted there instead.)

Miller; I am guessing you spend a lot of time in the check out lanes checking out the tabloids.
Who needs to find one out when you can just spread rumor and innuendo and get the same effect?

You're not too good at guessing, are you?
