Heard rumor the primaries today could put McCain over the top for delegates.

If Hillary Clinton can't win both Texas and Ohio the super delegates are going to start endorsing Barack Obama. Bill Clinton was telling the truth when he said she had to win both to have a shot at the nomination. My predictions - Obama wins Texas and Vermont - Ohio and RI too close to call at this point, but I give Clinton the advantage in both and if she doesn't win one or both it would be quite an upset. Not that it really matters since she will lose TX.

I don't feel good about predictions. It's weird how large the poll swings have been back and forth the last couple days. If they were accurate, one could almost expect TX and Ohio to swing back to Obama today. And that can't be right.

I was just checking out the Slate delegate counter here. It's very interesting. Apparently it would take Clinton winning all the remaining states 58-42 to get a delegate lead, and then she'd still need 419 superdelegates.

Sounds like this is going to be a LONG battle. Hope it doesn't work against the party in November.

I am in high dudgeon over your comments about Texas' wacky...er unique primary system. I was an election judge and precinct chair fro 8 years in the Houston area. It seems a little odd to those who are unfamiliar with it but it rewards grassroots activist on a very local level. Delegates to the county and state conventions are chosen at the precinct level. It is a world of fun and a great look at politics from the inside. Involvement at this level let me meet greats such as Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins Sissy Farenthold and Sheila Jackson Lee. It does give a real sense of involement if you just turn out at 7:00 PM.

Dont forget..McCarthy,HHH,Kennedy,Hart & Jackson all were behind,some not real close,went to the convention.

Every time the Democratic nominee lost.

Since emotion outweighed pragmatism as evidenced by the sidelining of Edwards, Dems are left with Clinton and Obama. After today it will be Obama, unless it's the intention of the Clinton's to bring a fractured party to the convention.

Obama will be defeated in late October by a "terrorist" attack. No one will die and there won't be any bombs. The Tennessee GOP will send out a press release stating they have a translation of Bin Laden stating western muslims should support Obama. There will be a 24 hour news cycle before the "mistake" is caught. In the interim, MSM camera crews will fan out to Palestine, Iraq and Dearborn for interviews. The coverage will cost Obama 10 points that he won't get back before the election. Even him pointing out the fact muslims liking him could be a good thing, won't overtake those ready to send out another, "See, I told you he was a bible hatin', no lapel pin wearing muslim" e-mail.

McCain wins. Which means we either get 4 more years of the Bush plan(?) - or McCain gets to do what he has been waiting 40 years to do - turn on his captors. In this case, it's the NeoCons and the far religious right. Let's hope it's the latter.

At any rate, Dems better steal themselves against the international incident that's bound to happen.
