Speaking of heads in the sand...
this is a delegate race.
Not a caucus race.
Not a primary race.
Not an EV race.
A delegate race.
He will have the most delegates.
He will be our nominee.
All the HRs in the world won't change reality, Teresa.
it is a super delegate race now and they, if they do their job right, will chose the stronger candidate and the one with more party support. That will be Clinton. Now it is possible that they will run in fear of the media spin about Obama being "robbed" and assume Clinton supporters will vote Obama...but that would be stupid.
BTW.... Obama 248 and Clinton 290 EVs as of now.
Have you noticed that superdelegates have been endorsing Obama at a greater than 10 to 1 ratio since April?
A Hillary win is still possible.
What is particularly ironic is the Hope demonstrated by the Hillary camp in the face of certain defeat.
The same sort of mentality surrounded the whole Terry Schiavo debacle.
it is true that ANYTHING can happen in 3 months (until the convention)
GE polls this far out mean nothing. If they meant anything, we'd be at the end of President Gore's second term right now.
And Hillary's poll numbers are inflated right now because the Republicans have been giving her a pass in order to throw everything they have at Obama.

Her numbers right now are her high-water mark. If she were to somehow get the nomination, the GOP attacks would begin, and she has nowhere to go but down.
