Thoughts on Obama at the Moment: the longer Hillary stays in the race, the worse it gets. Obama would take Michigan; Hillary would take Florida. She gains nothing. She was ahead of him by 15 points in Pennsylvania last week; since her "huge" victory last Tuesday, she's now ahead of him by about 10 points. Meanwhile, he took Wyoming, will take Mississippi, will take North Carolina, Indiana and so on. There is no way for her to overtake him in the math column.

Obama leads by 135 pledged delegates; leads in the popular vote.

It's time for Hillary to go, but the Clintons are powermongering. She'll win Pennsylvania by the same margin as Texas, by 3 or 4 points, gaining no new ground on Obama, but will insist on staying in the race. Meanwhile, she's just said that even McCain is more qualified to be Prez than Obama. Nice one Democrats; you manage to fuck everything up in your own special way.
