All those who keep yapping about 'experience' aren't bright enough to appreciate that experience can be useful or USELESS if it cannot guide one to GOOD JUDGMENT!

Hilary Clinton has the WORTHLESS KIND OF EXPERIENCE.

The Humiliation Hilary can't even run her own family and satisfy her man, or run a successful national campaign with a humongous lead and ample funds.
Goes to show how much Hilary Clinton's experience has not served her well.

And let's not mention an event as important as Americans young men being sacrificed in the killing fields of Iraq. Hilary Clinton and McCain experience was not backed up with wisdom.

Hey "Bridget", LMAO. Michelle told him he can only run for President one time. Now there's a real commitment to public service. Hey it just occurred to me, maybe Michelle told him that he cannot be VP, so he's passing that along. Hmmm, maybe Michelle is the real candidate here. Let's not rule out Michelle Obama as VP.

Obama will be the next President and Clinton surely won't be on the ticket.

Clinton represents all that is wrong in Washington.Besides , her and Bill have a court date to get ready for.

McCain is just a "token" Candadate , waiting to get run over by the Obama train

Hey "New Yorker", that's about what I figured. You are another two-time George Bush voter, attempting to interfere in the Democratic nominating process. You are spouting emotions, backed by no facts. What is your latest batting average in picking successful Presidents, hmmm...ZERO. Why should anybody listen to you. You are just sore because Huckabee didn't win.

Excellent. By this the delegates will know what they are getting if they reject obama. Now its also the question of who can win without the other candidate as VP!
Good job Obama! Give a big fight, if you go down go with honour!

new yorker ...where was all that good judgement when he made those deals with rezco, just wait and see as the trial continues

Good post, Ravi. I have respect for someone who does analysis, even if I disagree with them. I'm not sure you call painting yourself into a corner as an action of honor, especially in politics, but you are entitled.

Hey "Jim in Oregon", that's no train, it's an Obama choo-choo, and it is running out of steam.

When you are running for the Presidency, the focus IS ON THE PRESIDENCY!

All this talk of VP and the like are meant to distract Obama and have him waste time 'off message'.

And he's intent on staying focus, focus on the goal of he and his supporters -- win the Presidency and transform America for the good of ALL Americans.

So you can focus on VP. Obama will focus on the Presidency.
You have no idea how successful proceed towards the goals that makes them successful.

That is why Obama is running for the PRESIDENCY and you are just running off at the fingers. lol

as of now it looks like everything hillary put out there worked..."gots" to know how to play with the big boys

lupercal your numbers are in error... alagbon your numbers are in error...
kc your numbers are in error...

Without MI and FL the numbers are much closer than the MSM leads voters to believe. They are all different because all the delegates and SD's are not committed or allocated yet. They are all playing a guessing game because the last state convention is not until Jun 29 and the SD's dont cast votes until August at the convention. Anything can happen because delegates are not actually bound to the electorate and some will always sway.

Popular vote:
Clinton by 5000

Delegates:
Obama 1124
Clinton 1079.5
Unallocated 343

Surveyed Superdelegates:
Obama 159.5
Clinton 188.5
Uncommitted 348

If Clinton wins 59% of the remaining projected delegates, she will have both the popular majority and the delegate majority but the SD vote is needed for either candidate to get 2025 no matter what. It is very possible that Clinton with the current momentum can pass Obama in delegates. It is statistically unlikely either will get enough pledged to win without the SD's.

As fas as who is "winning" that depends on your definition of most electable. Clinton can win the electoral college without Obama supporters as she has the equivalent of 252 already. Obama cannot win without Clinton supporters because he only has 144 electoral equivalent. The Clinton camp along with many of the senior DNC folks hold that the most electable candidate should become the nominee to ensure a win against McCain. The number dont lie... Clinton is the most electable.

I think when this is all said and done Hillary wink wink Clinton will be wishing she could be the VP candidate when Obama, the Democratic party and the majority of Dem voters will have determined we cannot afford the baggage. Here comes a train pulling into her station now.

"New Yorker", yeah so what. That's part of the political process. Do you think Clinton's job is to make it easy on Obama. Just because the press hasn't given him the usual degree of scrutiny doesn't mean the opposition isn't. He's finally starting to get scrutinized and the cracks are appearing. I agree with another poster, though, he did say it was premature to talk about the Vice Presidency. Hillary and I disagree, she shows that she respects him enough, and that she understands that he would be a valuable participant on her team. If he were smart he would reverse the positioning, but his failure to do that will probably cost him the nomination, in the eyes of the superdelegates. I have no doubt that Hillary will prevail on the popular votes, and that the superdelegates will use this as a basis to select Clinton. I also have no doubt that Obama will be persuaded to accept the Vice Presidential role. I actually want the guy as Vice President and I want him as President when he matures futher.

dang i shouldnt try to type in the dark LOL for those who will likely ask... the reason there are .5 values in those numbers is because some of the entities like Americans Abroad hold 1.5 delegates for the convention

"SE Croft", you are getting your wink winks confused, that's Barack "Wink Wink" NAFTBama. Blame Canada. (Go South Park).

To ALL:
Imagine you are running for office against some well established political candidate.
1. You Won more votes
2. You won more districts
3. But the other candidate got rich districts.

Should you be selected or the established one just because he/she got brand in the field?

HAIL DEMOCRACY!!

This guy is so arrogant.
He promised to people to withdraw the army combat in Iraq within a year.
His senior foreign advicer just resigned and she said it was only case scenenary politic.
What else he lied about?

Um, but you're not ahead the popular vote Sen. Obama. ABC News has the count as:

Clinton 13,575,548
Obama 13,570,501

That means more people have voted for Sen. Clinton. And this tally doesn't include Florida. So similar to the Presidential election debacle when Gore won the popular vote but not the electorate. And we know how that turned out.

I thought Hillary was running for McCain's VP spot.

Hillary Clinton thinks we are stupid - she tries to paint Obama as not ready to be President but she would offer him the VP slot to try and get gullible people to think maybe there will be both on the national ticket

This will never happen - either way
No Obama/Clinton and definitely no
Clinton/Obama

Hillary Clinton is not the nominee
Hillary Clinton will not be the nominee
She has less pledged delegates with no chance to catch up = without breaking the rules (ok so maybe she can catch up)
She has less popular votes - even with Florida (which as a Floridian I know for a fact this should not count)

She will not be selecting a VP

I am happy Barack came put and said this so that those silly people who for some reason think they can take anything Hillary Clinton says to be what she really means - can now know that Sen Obama is not a part of trying to deceive them

Obama/Webb
Obama/Richardson
Obama/Warner
many great options ---

Sen Clinton should replace Sen Reid as the Sen majority leader and make policy

This way instead of taking credit for the "S" chip which she supported like 65 other senators but did not author or
create -- she can maybe really get some
legislation written and passed

In almost 8 years there is no one legislative achievement in congress with the Clinton name on it --

That';s how they play it so she can be for or against any given bill on any given day in any given city who happens to have a primary

"I did not have someone contact Canada to wink at what I Say"
H Clinton

It looks like he is doing his usual word play. There is no such thing as a VP candidate so he can state that and be safe. Typical politician... he is a shrewd one but not even close to being as shrewd as Bill.
