With Obama winning all these states in a row, it would take a miracle to win one of the next few primaries. I think that Hilary's campaign is sunk, and it has been since Super Tuesday in my opinion.

I personallly think that Bill Clinton has a very realistic take on the situation. The public nor the media have any idea of what jockeying for accolades is being done behind the scenes. Sit back and let it play out. Jack, it's the "Clinton" campaign – what other spin do they have. I personallly think that Bill Clinton has a very realistic take on the situation.

Everybody knows she is the master of issues and analysis, but then so is a good computer program. What the voters wanted was to see her feminine, caring side - the real Hillary. That would have counter-balanced Obama's soaring oratory, but she suppressed it, out of fear of being labeled too "emotional" and thereby not qualified to be commander in chief. In other words, she over-compensated for being a woman. Hillary will lose the nomination, and she has no one to blame but herself.

Look at the polls in Texas. They are still very close. Plus, I think more people are realizes what a fake Obama is. She will win Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. He is a word thief, an idea thief, and is very unoriginal. I will vote another candidate if Obama is elected as the Dem nominee. A Barack presidency will send people to the polls in 2010 to bring the Republicans back to Congress. Hillary still has a chance. Look at the polls in Texas. They are still very close.

She may have picked up a few voters with that tactic, but she is now anathema to many who see it, not as hardball tactics, but as screwball tactics.

Obama forced the media to take notice by winning, and in many cases by huge margins. Acknowledging that Obama's doing well after sweeping every contest in November isn't media bias, it's facing reality. Does anyone seriously think that if the situations were reversed, that the media would even acknowledge Obama has the smallest chance? The media would still be saying that a Hilary nomination is inevitable if it weren't for the fact that Obama's successes are impossible to ignore. Hilary and her supporters need to realize that Obama is getting the coverage he gets because he's forced people to take notice.

Obamas past in IL. , in the state office he held and what he did there and has since done in Washington, I don;t see where any news including CNN tells us how he will make the changes he states in his speeches. For the record I am an independent voter , and not acting like a herd of sheep following the crowd, but doing my own research on each of them running, seems that is the only way I can learn all the facts .

She began her campaign based on the premise that we the people owe her the presidency. The primary was simply a formality symbolic of the parade that leads to her coronation at the convention. Fortunately, we the people are speaking loud and clear, without any concern about the pundits or the campaign advisers, and we are saying Clinton is NOT our choice. The message, We want Obama!, is very difficult for the Clintons and their aids to accept--they are indeed experiencing a serious state of denial!

NO!! Both are great candidates, but Hillary can only do damage to the party by continuing in these desperate views. Her camp will now destroy her legacy, now along with her campaign. Sad and unfortunate. Jack

The fact remains she does still have an outside chance, at least more so than huckleberry. And as much as I hate the expression "for the good of the party", it may be a good move for her if she plans to run again in 4 years. However I don't see that happing, she has that Pit Bull attitude.
