This was a must win for Hillary. Winning by just 3 or 4 points was not going to be enough to raise money for her campaign or give her any real momentum for Indiana. This 10 point win now allows her to play for another day and that day comes two weeks from now in Indiana and North Carolina. To change the game and be able to go forward from there she must reduce Obama's margin in North Carolina to single digits and win convincingly in Indiana. Polling currently shows Obama up by 15% points in N.C. and Indiana is only slightly in Hillary's favor. If this holds Obama will possibly net more delegates on May 6th than clinton did last night.

Right now Cnn is showing Hillary with a 8pt lead, which is well below the margin she needed to claim any sort of a comeback. All this does for her, is delay her losing a bit longer. She needed 10pt's just to say she is a viable candidate, and 15-20pt's to say she still has a shot at becoming President. My guess, is that we are going to start seeing a lot more pundits, superdelegates, and democratic party members calling for her to throw in the towel now due to the fact she could win every state left with this same margin, and still lose to Obama...

I found this statement from a different news story offered an interesting insight:
"The bitterness of the fight has seeped into the Democratic consciousness, with 26 percent of Clinton supporters saying they would sooner vote for Republican presumptive nominee John McCain than Obama, and another 19 percent saying they would just stay home."
Ouch.

IMO more than three fourths of the people saying that now will eventually vote Democratic anyway. But in a close election, the less than a quarter that actually follows through might be significant.
But there is little doubt that this primary is causing bad feelings all around the Democratic party. And it's mostly personal rather than policy.

Hillary will win all the big traditionally Democratic states where the Clinton Machine has deep roots and tons of ward heelers on the payroll or on the defensive about dirt the Clintons have gathered on them. The fact of the mater is that any Democrat would win those states against McCain.
But can she win in November?
History has proven time and time again that winning those states alone is not enough to beat the Republicans. But who here listens to history? Will we have to do it one more time and get four more years of Bushism doubled in McCain?

"10:00 PM - The vote returns have begun to trickle in, and we're getting a sense of how the race is shaping up. Obama is doing extremely well in Philadelphia County. He's up by 22 points. The trouble for him is that more than 75% of the county has reported. In Delaware County, also in metropolitan Philadelphia, Clinton has fought Obama to a draw so far. In Bucks, few precincts have reported, but Clinton has a modest lead. Chester and Montgomery counties have yet to report at all. The size of Clinton's victory will not become apparent until then. Outside of Philadelphia, Clinton is doing exceedingly well. She's dominating Obama in metropolitan Pittsburgh, including a 12% lead (so far) in Allegheny County. She's up 24 points in Erie County and up in Lackawana County, where Scranton is.
If you are interested in waiting for the whole state to return, expect to be up late. The central part of the state is notoriously slow. - JAY COST"

with 78% reporting at 11 pm
President of the United States
Democratic Primary
Candidate Votes Percent
CLINTON, HILLARY (DEM)
923,249 54.9%
OBAMA, BARACK (DEM)
758,821 45.1%
it is unlikely in the extreme that barack will make up the 9 points in the remaining 12 percent unreported

10:44PM - "The tide is turning," Hillary said, concluding her victory speech. As Jay noted, we likely won't know the final margin until tomorrow, but right now Hillary is up 10 points with 78% reporting. If she can hang on to 10, that seems like a convincing victory.
But the Clinton campaign will likely trumpet another number: It seems that come tomorrow Hillary will lead in the popular vote count (if one includes Michigan and Florida). - BLAKE DVORAK

When the total 3 states are over by early May tonight's result will have been erased by the results in N.Carolina and Indiana combined. Someone at Hillary's need to explain to her basic math. The differential was 140. It will be 128-127 tonight possibly even higher and then back to 140. And there will be no more big states left and no more miracle come back kid. Now if only she had truly what it takes to be a leader. Because a leader places first the benefit of the people than his/her own. Right now she knows she cant win and she is trying to waste valuable time and resources to achieve who knows what. The fact remains. She is disliked by people. He isnt! So what is she trying to do , find ways to make him also disliked? Tell me again what kind of person you want answering that 3am call? Someone with lack of realism and questionable ethical spinning that is so selfcentered as the sobs we have had for the past 8 years or someone radically different more intelligent and inspiring.

When you spend 11.3 million on 1500 TV ads and provocative literature and outspend your opponent 3 to 1 and get nothing for it it looks bad to the superdelegates.
Clinton will win Pa. by 220,000 votes & she will win Indiana, West Va 2 to 1, and Kentucky by a mile! He might win N. Dakota where there are more cattle than people & NC where black vote dominates the democrat voters which will only make him seem moreso like a one constituency candidate. After West Va. it will up to the supers to decide. Being outspent 3 to 1 and losing badly in Pa., Obama doing an imitation of Mitt Romney

Clinton obviously wants the free publicity for something. Is she planning to write another another book? Is she going to run for governor of NY? How can she justify spending all those contributions for self-aggrandizement when she has virtually no chance of winning the nomination.

Flight to the White House
8 years ago, a new administration was selected for the white house to run the nation. the administration was so excited to take charge of the world leadership ASAP so they decided to take flight instead of road to the Washington DC from Texas Ranch. The flight pilots were Mr. Cheney and Mr. Bush who learned how to fly planes from last two administrations before them.
