Lets see 8 years of George Bush. Oh, how about 16 years of Bill Clinton/Hillary Clinton. That is too much!

Easy? Even assuming she isnâ€™t blown out in NC, (which is happening in the polls right now) she would have to have much larger margins than she did tonight to make up the difference in popular vote. Indiana is basically a tie right now, Obama with a slight lead. She may get Kentucky, but heâ€™s got Oregon. There just arenâ€™t enough votes left for her to fight over for anybody to think it would be EASY. Thereâ€™s no BIG states left that she really has a chance of pulling a 20 pt margin. Also you have to consider that sheâ€™s basically broke, most news outlets reporting her as in debt according to FEC filings. She got 2.5 million tonight in new donations, but how long will that last her when she has to spread it between Indiana and North Carolina? Obama is already starting up his campaign in Oregon. I think Clinton would make a great President, but looking at this practically, and without any of the hysteria that seems to accompany this election, she has seriously mis-managed her campaign financially, in part I suspect from the surprise support for Obama. She probably didnâ€™t think sheâ€™d have to campaign much past Super Tuesday. Anyway, just wanted to throw my two cents in (it actually looks more like $1.34) Oh, and a Clinton/Obama ticket is not going to happen, if anything it will be Obama/Clinton. Not saying thatâ€™s my preference, just the most likely.

“And does anybody really think theyâ€™re going to break for Hillary enough to make up that -140 deficit?” – jg

Oh yeah. Easy. In fact, it is more likely than ever. Especially when we get to the end of the last primary in June and and you add up every vote cast for Clinton, and you add up every vote cast for Obama, and there will be more for Clinton. So Obama will have pledged delegates, and Clinton will have more votes, and more momentum and more big states and more traditional blue collar Democratic voters. And the Superdelegates will say – “Our best chance in November is a Clinton / Obama ticket, and that is what we want and that is what we are voting for. Deal with Barack.”
