"Last week, an important Clinton adviser told Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen (also of Politico) that Clinton had no more than a 10 percent chance of getting the nomination. Now, she’s probably down to a 5 percent chance..."

Here's the most inflammatory line in the article:

"When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness."

What do you think?

    • She has been chewed up and spit out by the machine. She probably had ideals once and a strong desire to make the world better. Just got confused along the way. Needs to take some time off and find herself again.

    • Gov. Ed Rendell once said: “Let’s assume that Senator Clinton goes ahead in the popular vote count.” The problem with that assumption is that Obama leads in the popular vote count and the available evidence shows that it's almost impossible for him to relinquish this advantage.

      The bottom line in my mind is that Hilary doesn't have enough steam to make it all the way through November. and will accomplish nothing more then dividing the democratic party in a time when it needs to be united more then ever. The increasingly ugly inner party fighting between her campaigns and Obamas has already started to disillusion many of the voters who thought "this time will be different".

      Not to say Obama is perfect. Anyone who makes it this far in politics have had their share of scandalous moments but I truly truly believe out of the big three he's the best one we have. After all, if Hilary were elected president we would only be trading one dubious family dynasty for another.

      Anyways... if Hildog gets the democratic nod then Nader gets one more vote.

    • Maybe some people do hate her, I see some qualities in her that aren't well liked with some people, but I do know she isn't what America needs in a president right now. After 8 years of Bush we need someone we can look up to, that has our best interests in heart, someone we can trust, and that isn't a lying, spiteful bitch.

      ... ok maybe that did sound a little hateful.
