It's a long way 'til November.
As of now, the only way Hillary Clinton can win the Democratic nomination is if the superdelegates push her over the top. That is not going to happen (But I know this is a wet dream for many righties, since the resulting chasm in the Democratic Party would hand the Republicans a victory...all with only lukewarm support for their candidate, John McCain. How brilliant! Huh?).
No, the more likely outcome will be that Barack Obama will emerge as the Democratic nominee. His acceptance speech will breath new energy into the Democratic Party and will make his 2004 keynote address seem like just a warm up. In the end, the Democrats will be unified.

Wow!
How can someone win the popular vote and not WIN the delegates?
This sounds familiar, like the Electoral College which the Democrats hate, after the last two elections.
Do I hear Cheers or Jeers about this outcome for Obama?

TOO LATE! The Pastor Disaster.... the shady dealings with Tony Rezco.... the idiotic "Race Speech".... his 6 or 7 Muslim half-brothers scattered throughout Africa, China and the Middle East.... his own tenuous, questionable past....
Obomb-out is UNELECTABLE.

I considered voting for this story, but it is actually a non-story. We've known for a while (since the TX caucuses) that Sen. Obama "probably" won more delegates in TX than Sen. Clinton. The real story will be posted when TX makes the results official.

Saint, above: "...his idiotic 'Race Speech"...his 6 or 7 Muslim half-brothers..."
Precisely what made his "race speech," as you put it, idiotic? That he refused to endorse the racial divisiveness of black against black? That he refused to talk in terms of absolute allegiance, so beloved of the authoritarian right (if I'm not being redundant)? That he refused to talk categorically at all?
Now, as for those brothers--in your world, undoubtedly the idea that one might have relatives who don't practice one's own "religion of peace," or any religion at all, constitutes a kind of moral treason.
But it doesn't among people willing to look at a person clearly to see what he or she actually is.

First he didn't hear any of the remarks in church. Then he heard some but doesn't agree with them. On and on. In the end, is America ready to elect the most liberal senator in the Senate? That is the underlying question.

Say, Ani, been meaning to ask you--ever buy that gun you said you were going to get for your daughter so she could protect HER daughter?
This is off-topic, to be sure, but I like to keep up with the right-thinking. (OK--some puns just happen....)
The family that's armed together--well, you know the rest....

First of all, I NEVER said Hillary Clinton would sail to an easy victory. I never really liked her anyway. And as you may recall, my support went to John Edwards until he dropped out of the race. Then I went with Barack Obama
But to get back to the original point...you seem SO SURE that the Democrats are going to be in such disarray after their convention that John McCain is sure to be elected.
That is not the way I read it. Obama will clinch the Democratic nomination and he WILL win the election. You can take that to the bank!

Obama took 99 delegates. Don't believe the sarcasm story. If we want sick sarcasm we'll read some of Bush's signing statements.
Good win for Obama!
