Mathematically it seems that the delegate leads by Obama should be more than enough to cover whatever advantage HRC gets from Florida. If Michigan is split evenly, then it is a non factor. The Democratic Party has been a mess for quite a while. The country was hopeful that something would be done after the 2006 election, but no balls Nancy Pelosi does not have the guts to impeach Bush/Cheney. And now the party elders do not have the guts to tell Hillary to stop the negative attacks that will cost the party the executive branch in 2009. No guts at all. Some times you have to take the risk in taking a position. Obama took the risk of criticizing the Iraqi war in 2002 at the time when Bush popularity was sky high, and Hillary did not have the guts to go against the stream. Senator Robert Byrd voted no, but HRC and Kerry voted for giving Bush carte blanche. Sad indeed that the Democratic Party does not have any elder who has the courage to tell Hillary to stop. I am not saying that my party is any better since it has been hijacked by neocons, but the true Republicans are hoping that we can take back the party with the help of Democrats recapturing the WH and we can clean house. I reckon it is just a wishful thinking of counting on the gutless Democratic Party elders. Where are you Al Gore, John Edwards, Jimmy Carter?

The truth is that if I had to bet right now I would bet Hill gets the nomination. I think Obama has to fight for each and every delegate. I agree only because she won OH. You know what the Clinton camp is saying behind the scenes........Obama can't deliver a white state like OH. And they may be right. That's why he has to win PA.....prove them wrong. If he wins PA, its over for Hillary. He loses PA, then he is pretty much a goner IMO. It doesn't help that the black mayor of Phillie has gone for Clinton.
