I've been saying this for a while now, they were fighting so hard because they knew that a democratic will be president, and thus whoever wins the nominations stands the best chances of being president.

but its too late now, the CW is slowly becoming Obama is the nominee and the supers are allowing Hillary space to end the race on a high note, but if she were to try anything destructive they would shut down the race in a second. There is no more rationale for her to tear down Obama anymore, she can campaign but she has to stay positive, and the last thing the supers want is to be forced to end the race, they want Hillary to do the hard part for them.

where was it I think Bloomberg news or so I read the spending right now is unsustainable and its uncertain how much longer realistically she can continue.

remember people like Howard Wolfson are making a killing so each day he still has a job, is another day she needs funds to pay him.

Well, I hate to hear people, particularly top aides, being complacent; though I imagine their true feelings more nuanced than what's expressed here.

But what's most interesting is how this directly contradicts Jerome's front page diary from this morning.

One thing that strikes me is that argument is completely contrary to their other argument -- that Obama can't win in November.

What makes it too late is not the media narrative but the fact that Clinton didn't win enough delegates, in part because her campaign strategist was so incompetent he thought CA was winner take all.

As long as she promotes democratic unity I am okay with that statement.

But when her campaign manager keeps talking about white voters and Obama's electability I get concerned.

If the media is going to give her a grace period she should use it wisely. If she opportunistically keeps pointing out how Obama is black and therefore unelectable (before the Appalacian primaries) then she is cynically using this hands off time for unpleasant purposes.

I hope that is not the case.

For many of the same reasons that Jerry Brown, Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and others stayed in the race. They wanted to make sure that they could speak to their delegates on prime time at the national convention. They wanted to make sure that their supporters could cheer them on at the convention.

I think Obama supporters should give Clinton some space. That's the best thing they can do to heal the party. The more they scream for her to get out, the more resistant she will be in getting out. Let her get out in a way that she and her supporters can feel good. Two her best primary states in the whole country are probably West Virginia and Kentucky (The other being Arkansas). Let those states vote for her. Then on May 31st, Obama should not be too resistant to seating the Michigan and Florida delegation in proportion to the actual vote count. The Michigan plan would split the delegation 69-59 in favor of Clinton. That would be a good compromise. Fight that proposal, and this race will go on through the convention. Accept the proposal, and her aides have been talking that she would quit the race in June.

If there were some kind of an external force which prohibited Barack from becoming the nominee, I don't see how Clinton would be successful at winning over AA's. Barack has never lost any block of voters by a whopping 92 percent.

Nope, I don't see young voters and blacks backing a Clinton nomination because many will perceive it as being illegitimate.

as long as she stops attacking Senator Obama.  We have an opportunity to retain the media limelight while taking the fight to the Republicans.

Otherwise, she's Tonya Harding for real.

She has no chance, unless Barack Obama starts working as a clerk at THE Rose Law Firm.And goes for a nice peaceful walk in the park.
