Clinton leads, but can Obama catch up?

Hi Phoenix_fire999,
First things first, it's about delegates, not states.

He's got no chanceTexas, Florida or Virginia. Who cares if he wins in a couple of insignificant states in a primary? Come November, Obama will be destroyed in the south, especially the big delegate states.

Hillary is the only hope for beating John McCain.

And to RyanBWylie, the party always comes before the politician. Republicans know this, and that's why we're in the mess we're in. Plus, Obama takes plenty of money from PAC bundlers - so don't believe the hype.

In Obama's own words: "Money is the original sin in politics and I am not sinless. (Nov 2007)"

derk,

I am behind Hillary. I voted Hillary last night. I'm just concerned that she may not be able to win the red states that overwhelmingly went for Obama, which was most of them. We don't want another Republican in the white house. And I'm thinking that Obama has a better shot winning the general election.

It was the realist in me that made me think Hillary would make a better president, hence my vote. (Don't get me wrong. I think Obama would be great too, but Hillary will be masterful at problem solving.) But it's the realist in me that tells me that she will have a hard time winning most red states come this November, where as it would be a cinch for Obama. People seem to respond to his message better.

Which leads me to conclude that they should run on the same ticket. Either as Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton. She has votes from women of almost all races, Latinos, older voters and the working class. He has votes from white men, African Americans, younger voters (by the droves), the wealthier middle class and the college educated. Combined, they will be unstoppable.

Together = Yes we can!

Isn't that what Obama's message was all about?

Sit down OBAMA! WOOOH!
VOTE FOR CLINTON

I miss Joe Biden.

I think once the republican machine's start rolling for the G.E. neither barack nor hillary will be able to stand up to a moderate John McCain. Unless, of course, barack can clone hundreds of thousands of that blond chick from his speech last night. She looked like she would have his babies, take a bullet for him, and pick up his dry cleaning all at the same time...

I haven't heard Hillary mention campaign finance reform or public financing of campaigns once, maybe b/c she's 'married' to the corrupt process that usually leaves us only 2 corporate-sponsored candidates to choose from.
We desperately need this reform and with it I believe we can get more people to believe in and be a part of the democratic process.
Stop worrying about what's bad for the party and start thinking about what's good for the country.
Vote Obama.

This is primitive logic: "He won more states the Hillary"

It means nothing ... he won a bunch of insignificant states. Hillary won California, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts ... and is ahead in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Texas.

And this is even worse: "so far (Obama) leads the delegate count, if we're not counting super delegates."

Huh? What? Why would you not count super delegates? That is illogical.

C'mon , phoenix_fire999! it's over!

Get behind Hillary. the sooner you do the better for our party.

On the contrary, I think it is Obama who is winning. Or at least, has the momentum. He won more states the Hillary, and so far leads the delegate count, if we're not counting super delegates.

He has shown a 50-state strength where Hillary's strength is mostly limited to populous coastal states. Whoever wins the Democratic nomination will have my support and my vote.

Obama has a lot of money in the pot to fund what will be a very expensive and competitive race and some news sites suggest that Clinton may have to dip into her own pockets. He does look in with a good chance but so does she. She's got a good ability to come back and clinch those important victories when she needs to.

Even the Republicans contest isn't over. McCain does seem to be the people's choice at the moment but Huckabee and Romney both performed better than expected and stand reasonable chances of making a comeback.
