Does this really means anything, why is she still running, is it really possible to win it, even if she takes it to the convention which I really doubt the party will allow it to be stretched that far, but why is she doing this, cant she just be a leader and show some respect and congratulate Obama. Today we find that the Democratic Party is not controlled by the Clintons, because believe me for a while we had this illusion that it is actually like that. Anyway they approved seating Florida and Michigan Delegates with Half Votes, I really do not know if this is actually gonna make any difference.
The only difference I see is that the numbers changed a bit, now to clinch the nomination the candidate needs to get 2,118 delegates, Obama had a total of 1,984 delegates ofcourse counting both pledged and super delegates, now after getting 32 delegates from Michigan and 36 from Florida his total is 2,052. Clinton in the other hand, had a total of 1,781 delegates, now after getting 38 in Michigan and 56.5 from Florida her total is 1,877.5.
Obama needs now 66 delegates to clinch the nomination, I guess the numbers might be different, some sources says Obama needs 64 more delegates and some say 66, so whatever the number is Obama is the nominee, I cant believe that we are actually still discussing this.
Harold Ickes, in ending his statement against the Michigan proposal said:
“Mrs Clinton has asked me to reserve her rights to take this to the credentials committee.”
She really wants to take this to the convention?! She rather hurt her party rather than just drop out, if this goes to the convention and I am so sure it wont, but if it does neither of those two candidates will win, and we will end up with a BUSH third term, idiots.

We know she cant do it, the media know it, The experts know it, she knows it. It is not doable, she is waiting for a miracle, she is waiting for some unusual big thing to happen, because now even if she is asking to seat Florida and Michigan delegates she still wont get it.
She is so desperate her website now directly redirects to the donations page!! I donno who in his right mind would bid on a broken horse? She is still in it, til the end.
I know, you are sick of this, I am not an American and I cant vote and and and ……. and I am pissed that this thing is still going on. I find it weird, very weird that she is still not dropping out.
People ask me why I follow the American elections, and I tell them, have you seen what happened in the past 8 years ?!
Although I hate to admit it, the world, and I mean the WORLD is effected by who gets to be the president of USA.
The WORLD does not need this kind of president:
The WORLD needs a smart, well educated, DEMOCRATIC President. A President that knows when to use diplomacy effectively, and how to solve problems without quickly reaching to military action.
So we know that Hillary is old news, we know she is playing in the injury time, and she cant do anything.
So my advice to all who are refreshing reddit over and over and over again, and to all who is visiting all sort of news sites, blogs, to all who has the TV fixed on a news channel, don’t wait, don’t waste your time, it wont happen. Not now, maybe when all the states vote, maybe, but who knows maybe she will fight all the way. And by doing that she is hurting herself and her party.

Yesterday Barack Obama won big in North Carolina, he smashed clinton by more than 15 points. While in Indiana Clinton was a able to have a modest 2 points win over Obama. So In NC Obama wins 56% to 42% for Hillary and in Indiana Clinton wins 51% to 49% to Obama.
Bottom line Obama has even more delegates now than ever, he needs less than 300 delegates to lock the nomination, she needs to win 80% of the upcoming delegates, which as we know is impossible.
Everybody knows it was all over for Hillary months ago, but the media just wanted to keep the competition alive so they would have something to do. Have panels, interviews, polls, projections and discussion after discussion after discussion.
But I promise all of the media that they will be very busy in the general election, and after November they will go back to cover Paris Hilton and Britney Spears showing their stuff.
“With leads like this now, if you throw in Michigan and Florida, as is, then Obama would still have about 150,000 votes and he would still have 100 delegates, pledged delegate, lead.” - Chuck Todd
Tim Russert delivered the bottom line effectively: “We now know who the democratic nominee is going to be and no one is going to dispute it”
“Some were saying that North Carolina would be a game-changer in this election. But today, what North Carolina decided is that the only game that needs changing is the one in Washington, DC” - Barack Obama
Here is Barack Obama’s speech after the win in North Carolina:
And you can just feel in his speech that he has fully switched now to the General Election mode, he know that whatever is going to happen he is the nominee and therefor he will start to focus on McCain.
Logically, today we are seeing infront of our eyes, the new President of USA. That is if the dems does not screw it up.
