that She can pull it out. I hope they’re right. Note that Rove remark that the so-called committed super delegates are still, of course, free to vote any way they like at the convention. (The linked page only stays online for a couple of days.)

WASHINGTON—Senator Clinton is using her overwhelming victory in West Virginia last night to make a direct appeal to the undecided superdelegates who have the power to hand her the Democratic presidential nomination. Although the New York senator faces a near-impossible mathematical path to the nomination, she declared in unequivocal

“This race, I believe, is over.”
Now is the time for BHO to be very careful. He could slip on a wet floor, fall down a flight of stairs, be hit by a reckless limo driver, hang himself, be suddenly exposed in a scandal that would sink his air-filled boat … anything.

Karl Rove pointed out last night that even the committed superdelegates aren’t committed. Any of them could switch and vote for The Pig at the convention. This thing is far from over.

Wouldn’t want to be underwriting Obami’s life insurance right now without a BIG rider on accidental.
Accidents do happen…

I wonder what the big Hillary donors are thinking right about now? I bet they’re dreading that phone ringing or that knock on the door! They maxed out their heavy hitters early because they sold the bill of goods that she was inevitable and it turned out she wasn’t! She and Bill tried toconvince people that while 1/2 the country hates her, there was at least 30% that loved her, and she could win. She can’t! But I’ll urge her to keep it up so that the good people of Denver get to join that Clinton version of the “Mile high Club”

A dozen US ghettos will be burning this summer if this thing is handed over to Hillary. No way on earth the Dem establishment will allow it.

The Dim superdelegates are faced with a Hobson’s choice. Nominate Obama and, maybe, lose the next election because of the race hatred Hillary has stirred up, or nominate Clinton and lose the usually loyal black vote for the next generation.
As for an independent run by the Beast—fuggedaboutit, where would the money come from?

Somewhere, someone’s going to have to put some ice on something after this is all sorted out…

Do not count her out. She has something up the sleeve of her black dress that will be stunning. She is just waiting for the Democrat “intelligentsia” (those with IQ’s barely over 100)to realize that they bought the wrong candidate. West Virginia almost proves that the Regan democrats will not vote for Obambi. Now the only thing left to do is drop a huge bomb before the end of May that proves Obambi is not a viable candidate and it’s check mate and Herself gets anointed.
Obambi cannot win against McPain, so therefore the base needs a perfunctory lesson that Obambi is the wrong person to nominate but the reason has to maintain the support of the party’s base. This is delicate political work, but Herself and Bubba are about to pull it off. Just wait.

I wonder if she shows up with a few hundred pounds of FBI files???
