I will simply repeat what I've been saying for weeks now: Hillary = nominee = victory ; Obama = nominee = defeat . Neither candidate has enough pledged delegates to get to 2209 votes without super delegates, so it is up to the SDs to decide the fate of the party in this electoral cycle.

Emanuel to Kennedy: That's Not Nice
Obama and his team better be careful. If he gets the nomination he can't win the presidency alone.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'll work hard for Clinton if she's the nominee. If Obama wins I'll work hard against John McCain.
However, Obama better reign in his aides.
