Hillary Clinton is dead in the water and the ONLY thing that can save her, is winning Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania by very substantial margins.

Superdelegates will not save her. Obama has money, momentum and Ted Kennedy. Maggie Williams does not have enough time to establish a ground game to rival Obama's in the smaller states yet to vote. Obama will win enough in the larger states he might lose to maintain his delegate lead. It appears unlikely that Al Gore or Bill Richardson will endorse anyone before the convention. Edwards may endorse, but it will be too little too late to swing the race one way or another.

You argument has several fundamental flaws: Obama won in numerous states with a huge majority of white voters (Iowa, Connecticut, Maine, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota). Obama won the white vote and the senior vote in Virginia (the former capital of the Confederacy). No offense, but I have no way of knowing your surveys are at all scientific and the exit polls disagree with your findings. Democratic voters supporting Obama are unlikely to turn to a Republican in the general election, but you may have a point with independents and "Obamacans." I do not pretend that race is not still a very prevalent and important issue in our society, but I simply don't think that Obama's failures or successes hinge on the color of his skin. He is a self-made Harvard Law graduate with an unusual ability to rally support among a diverse group of Americans. Despite being voted the most liberal senator of 2007, he commands the respect of many on the far right.

yes but as you are aware of hilliary is going to win the next 3 states
hands down. and obama is going to have a hard time with that issue texas ohio, she just won some other state, and still america is not ready for a black president, and really dont care to much about having hilliary in there.the way that america works is for example the republican who quit last week whom was arguing with mc cain just asked his voters to vote for mc cain. ok hilliary a women whom has her once a month peroid ,hay she may be upset one week out of the month that one time if she wins could cost us a war she could cramp up so bad and accidently push the red button, obama well america is america its not going to change, if america feels that obama even has a chance that he may win someone my try and kill him and this is what so sad about it.
than america will have a civil war whites against blacks blacks against whites just like in 1967.someone might even put a hit on her. but im telling you this america is till prejudice in all ethics and colors religions. etc. i hope that this doest happend but sometime changes is what we need but than again just because we want it doesnt mean we will get it.

First off your tirade on Clinton's gender is offensive and quite frankly ludicrous. Though I am not a Clinton supporter, she is clearly an intelligent and strong leader with a far greater mastery of specific policy points than anyone else in this race, republicans included. Secondly the notion that the Civil Rights movement was a war of white against black is simply wrong. There were many whites who fought with blacks for the justice of humanity throughout the 1950s and 1960s. All that being said, Hillary Clinton is by far the more polarizing figure and an "anti-Hillary" vote in the general election would far outweigh an "anti-black" vote. Clinton is one of the most despised political figures by Republicans due to her association with Bill Clinton and her "calculating ice queen" image. I disagree with your assessment that Sen. Clinton will win the next three states. Polls show Obama is doing quite well in Wisconsin and he will likely win his home state of Hawaii. If you were referring to Texaas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, then I agree. But by whole argument is that she will need to win them by massive margins to win the nomination and I have my doubts about her ability to do that.

in that case this sshould bring this issue to an end first of all in 1967 the race riot was about a whiteman and blackman killing a baby no matter whom killed whos baby first that is what caused the riot, and what i mean about an civil war is that if obama happends to win the gop. someone is more than likely going to take a hit at him america is still racist, no matter if whites blacks mexican , etc it doenst matter
america thee free is not free its racist america and the us is not ready for a black president. and if and i say if oh [im voting for him]
and im from detroit. america ois not ready for a woman president and i still insist that if obama makes it, america will go from democrat to republican and hilliary will win those three other states. but if and that a big if she dont mc cain will win, and than we will se who cries its a race thing

Hillary would have more delegates if Florida votes got counted. The CNN and other media was so busy bashing Clinton that they forgot to explain why the Fla primary was moved a week earlier. Here it is: The DNC rule "not to schedule a primary before February 5" was not violated because of Florida democrats but rather, because the REPUBLICAN legislature tacked the earlier primary date on a bill that provided for paper ballots in Florida that had to be supported by democrats (we know from 2000 election that the paper trail is very important). So the democrats were unable to stop the movement of the primary to an earlier date. To now punish the democrats by not counting their delegates is an outrage! Both candidates had the same opportunity to campaign in Florida and Obama did so by running lots of cable TV ads. If anything, that should be a reason to count the primary votes! Florida voters feel disenfranchised and insulted by the DNC that their vote was not counted at the primary election. The Florida democrats had a record turnout. The dems. volunteers worked long hours organizing the election in their districts. The individual voters should not be punished for the State's decision. No caucus, no splitting even, no re-voting! Count my voice and the voice of Florida democrats! Hillary should get her delegates according to the Fla primary!

Hillary's resume'; Obama's greatest strength: Reviewing Hillary's methodical playing of the "Race card", and "The Perpetual Victim" against Obama; and, her recent commentary on Iraq; Pakistan; Energy Policy; the need for her to control the 14 Trillion $ American Economy from her White House Politburo (this from a woman who hasn't managed so much as a corner vegetable stand, or for that matter her own marriage; but, of course you could count Whitewater, and her tenure as "Madam" for Bill's White House Brothel); her Marxist statement in San Francisco: "We're going to have to take more from you, and give it to others for the common good."; Illegal Immigration; Taxes; Infanticide; Massive new Government spending; Multi million $ Senate earmarks for supporters of Hillary's Presidential campaign; Garnishing of your wages to fund her coveted Socialized medicine program; and, the Clinton's history of emasculating the military, verifies that this grievously flawed woman would be the female version of the Jimmy Carter debacle that gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini who ushered in rampant Islamic radicalism; block-long lines at our gasoline stations; a severely hollow military; and, a record Misery Index. Only much worse. Considering all of her recent gaffes, e.g. "I voted FOR IT (referring to the Bankruptcy Bill); but, I was glad to see that it didn't pass."; and, her increasingly frequent crying jags, one has to wonder if excessive use of Botox has affected her mental stability. It's no wonder that her campaign staff is shielding her from reporter and audience unscripted questions. The prospect of Madam Hillary as President; in a word: TERRIFYING. Greg Neubeck

Bloggers wake up! I believe all those who perceive Obama is just a good speech and no substance, you are embarrassing yourselves. Do yourself a favor and check out his website: http://www.barackobama/issues There???s a 64-page downloadable ???Blueprint for Change??? as well as a series of articles on each issue. Also check out http://www.thinkonthesethings.wordpress.com Did you see last Sunday???s 60 Minutes? They interviewed both candidates. The interviewer asked Obama what he has to say about those people who think he is an intelligent, charismatic person but has no specifics. Obama smiled and replied, ???early on in the campaign I was accused as being too professorial, as I gave too detailed plans in my stump speeches.??? The interview continued with a full screen picture of Obama???s website with detailed plans on everything from the economy to foreign affairs and climate change. Now, I know we cannot trust the media spin, but I believe ???60 Minutes??? is an objective representation of the news. Have fun learning the facts. Be sure to vote. Obama ???08
