To all the Democrats out there

Please, share some insight.

Is this thing over, and the media's just playing it up? Or, are our fears of a Hillary Clinton Presidency real?

I'm not a Democrat, but it's over. The only reason it's still going on is that Hillary knows the Clinton mystique is over as soon as she officially loses to Obama. I wish I ciuld tell you that once Obama is officially nominated it will be over, but it won't. Hillary is going to go nomination shopping and will be running on a Third Party ticket.

If this goes to the convention with both candidates without enough delegates, Hillary will have the advantage. If Obama is going to win, he needs to rap it up soon.

Not a chance. Dean has already said that whoever has the most delegates wins, so Hillary is already done. Unless Obama falls over dead, the nomination is his.

I think McCain will spank her and send her home, but I do not think he could beat Obama. Picture them standing at a debate, side by side. It doesn't matter what either of them actually says, the image of a young, vibrant Obama next to Mr. Death Warmed Over will speak volumes.

However, the Democrats have this silly habit of shooting themselves in the foot, so I think it's already in the bag for Hillary. She's establishment and a lot of people owe her favors.

But, Dean said someone has to drop out though. This doesn't go to Denver, somebody has to make the decision to drop out in June.

Shirley you don't honestly believe the Wicked Witch of the East will drop out and go away quietly, do you?

Once again... Dean has said that whoever gets the most delegates wins. And once it becomes impossible for Hillary to overtake him in elected delegates, Dean will direct the Superdelegates to go for Obama.

And again... Hillary cannot bow out. The moment she does, all her power and prestige will evaporate in a second. What she can, and I believe will, do is stay in the race until she gets forced out, then she'll sign on with a third party.

He can try but the SDs don't have to follow Dean's "commands". Hillary has a better "backroom" network with the machinary of the Dem party. That's why I'm saying that she will have the advantage if both she and Obama go the Denver without 51 percent of the delegates.

Good question. But I do know that if Dean says the candidate with the most elected delegates wins, and Obama has the most, there's no way the SDs are going to take the nomination away from Obama.
