The ticket is going to be Gore-Obama. The only way the party will let Hillary get the nomination is if she gets 2022 pledged delegates. Barack got a lot of white votes in other states (Iowa, Wisconsin, Minn etc.) But Hillary has not been able to get the African American votes (SC, possibly NC, Miss etc.)

>>Her victory is actually stunning for the reasons you outlined.<< Patricia - Stunning? She went from having a 20% lead in the polls just a few weeks ago to winning by less than half that percentage, in a state where she really had all the advantages. And she had to go very, very negative to do that. - Allen

<<<She raised a few million dollars tonight but she'll need lots more.>>> She raised more than $10 million in less han 24 hours from 60,000 new donors. The momentum has shifted. There is this feeling: <<<Yesterday’s win in the PA primary makes it clear that it’s time for Senator Obama to step aside. He has lost in most of the major states and his victory in states that are highly unlikely to vote democratic in the fall makes Senator Clinton our strongest candidate in the general election. Despite Senator Obama outspending Senator Clinton two to one and three to one in most of these large states, he repeatedly loses. For Democrats dedicated to winning the White House in November, this is all the more concerning because primary battles are races that typically draw from the more liberal wing of our party. Hillary Clinton should be and must be the Democratic nominee. She will also be an excellent president, a wise and experienced president and commander in chief. — Posted by H. Novas >>>
