So we're really talking about 11% here. Not really significant.

Democratic party chairman Howard Dean disagrees with Cali. He thinks the democrats are killing themselves. What are the odds Clinton will drop out after June 3?

Republicans are going to be sorely disappointed in November. Particularly those like Myboynoah who think the Dems are throwing this thing away.

Who do I thank for being called out like this? You like me, you really like me.

Talk to my former boss, a died-in-the-wool Dem from Pittsburgh. He's sure the Dems are throwing this thing away. Of course, he's now a resident of Florida. Dems got bigger problems there.

I've always said Obama is a high risk candidate for the Dems. I stand by that.

Instead of finding obsure facts about Repub turnout in a state primary that means nothing, you might want to concentrate on these polls:

Just after spending a gazillion dollars in Penn, Obama trails McCain in the latest polls:

After spending a gazillion dollars in Ohio a few weeks back, Obama still trails McCain:

Florida is no contest (C'mon Obama, enfranchise the disenfranchised):

McCain remains in statistical dead heats with Obama in Michigan and Massachusetts (of all places).

A lot of water yet to go under the bridge. Right now I'm enjoying the 24-7 coverage of Rev. Jerimiah "Goddamn America" Wright's "Obama's Just a Politician" tour.

I think Hillary needs to press on to the bitter end, right through the convention. She can't let her people down. You go girl.

Noah is a wonder. A GS-17 who's a republican. I've never seen one before.

You insult me beyond your ability to understand.

Do not call me GS!

I endorse this post. Hillary should show she's no quitter and fight like there's no tomorrow. Heck even after the convention she should campaign against Obama.

No, he thinks they will kill themselves if they don't get it resolved after the primaries end. They will resolve it then, so they won't kill themselves. Problem solved.

And yes, Obama strategists would be much happier if Wright would stop talking. Better it happen now than October.

in November. The republicans will vote for McCain. Many Obama supporters will not vote for Clinton and vice versa.

How many Obama supporters will stay home or vote for McCain if Mrs. Clinton gets the nomination?

I don't think this hurts McCain as much as losing the nomination would hurt either Dem candidate.
