This Horse Race Is Over


From Wonkette, perhaps the most fitting metaphor for Hillary's doomed (and increasingly annoying) campaign.

JESUS, WHERE TO BEGIN: Hillary Clinton's pick to win horse racing's Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles — the only female horse in the race — finished second, broke both front ankles, and subsequently was put to death on the track. The first place horse was "Big Brown." Go nuts.

Good one. However watch your back because Hillary fans may strike you ;)

Ledaro - I think a lot of Hillbots are starting to realize that nothing short of a miracle is going to get Hillary the nomination. If only Hillary herself would realize it... :)

Hillary won't win, but she has every right to campaign to the end, or until she runs out funds, whichever comes first. It is, after all, a democracy (more or less). Its her extremely divisive, republican-style suggestions that Obama is too elite for red-blooded blue collar white America that are bothersome. I've felt for a while the McCain will probably become president, and I still think so.

I have the "right" to fry bacon in the nude, but that doesn't mean I should do it.

What's the point of spending millions of dollars in donations and personal loans on a lost cause? I can potentially buy the argument that finishing the campaign will energize voters in the remaining states and increase voter registration. But if Hillary actually believes she can win, she's plain delusional.

The superdelegates are moving to Obama. As of today, depending on who's counting, Obama has already basically caught up to Hillary in comitted superdelegates.

I have no idea where you are going with this. He has won more states than Hillary so far, including some very "white" states (eg Iowa). Whether or not America is ready to vote for a black man as President remains to be seen, but I for one could care less about his ethnicity.

LOL!! Are you on crack? Yeah, I'm sure he'll just drop out if he loses 3 minor states and maintains a big lead in pledged delegates and a lead in superdelegates. Whatever. He and Hillary are predicted to split the remaining 6 states, which will essentially maintain the status quo. It's time to face facts...Obama will be the nominee.
