Doesn't he have to turn on and tune in first?  Oh, sorry, he's already done that.

he have an insurmountable lead over the highest profile Dem in the nation who has been campaigning with a very popular former president?

You should take those out. NY was Clinton's home state. She won that by a smaller margin than Obama did in his home state. Are you  implying that she can't win Illinois?

Do you think FL was a fair contest or something? Clearly you don't. So you should take that out too. You can keep the rest. Obama still won more states, more votes, more delegates and has more money.

enough with the kool-aid bullshit

supporters are uneducated and poor.

obama leads mccain in ny while hillary trails...according to npr.

do without another one of these diaries this time.

...Obama spin this evening...and it will continue for many days, too.

This is sad.

The putative front runner for the Democratic nomination seems, well, frankly, damn near incapable of winning primaries in Democrat states.  

Isn't is time to pull out of the race, Barry?

After NC and Indiana, do you prefer the nickname Hillabee or Huckary?

She should be able to "close the deal" then in NC and IN

By the time they get done pounding the crap out of one another, neither one of them will be worth a damn.

Don't forget... John Edwards just "suspended" his campaign.

Heh. Calling on the guy who leads in the delegate count to drop out...

Y'know, I'm perfectly fine with spin from Clinton supporters to say what Pennsylvania means. That's part of the process, after all. But her win does not in any way, shape or form mean that Obama should drop out. And stating that simple fact is not "the worst of the Obama spin."

Well, if she can't win in NC I think it pretty clearly shows that she can't garner the votes of the most loyal base of the Democratic Party, how does she stand a chase in the fall? Seriously, I don't see how a person who can't even get 20% of the African-American vote going to win on the Democratic ticket, I mean I thought we were past the days of George Wallace.

when you're ahead. You drop out hen you're losing - like Hillary is losing.

More voters still want to participate.  Let's not be the party of voter disenfranchisement although we're close to being that if we don't count FL and MI.  We only get this every 4 years---voter participation is wayyyy up more than ever.  Let's not cheat the remaining primary voting states.

All tonight means is that we go to June.
That is fine...both candidates continue to fire up the State parties...Then in June it is over.

see how it goes in 2 weeks

You know, I was calling an 8% win for Clinton in the last week or so.  10% is almost the same.  I was hoping for 6%, but 10% ain't that bad.  It's still way better for Obama than the 26% lead she had when he showed up in the state six weeks ago.

The delegate count is even closer.  Obama is good at playing the margin game and hit the districts that have the most delegates.

Clinton winning in a state that is, by all professional estimates, "tailor made" for her candidacy and in which she has the support of the governor, most influential mayors, and entire machine in a Democratic machine state was to be expected.

No matter how you might demean Obama by calling him "Barry" or by suggesting that one loss means that he's somehow washed up, you can't get past the fact that all political analysts agree that there's no way, after such a close race in PA, that Clinton can possibly catch up to Obama in the pledged delegate count, nor can you change the fact that the superdelegates are leary of overturning the pledged delegate count.

McAluffe is dreaming if he thinks that the mass of superdelegates will even faintly imagine that somehow the popular vote will matter in any way when a third of the primary challenges were caucuses.  That sort of hoodwink might work on the general public (it might've worked on me had I not read up on the primary process), but these are politicans and party insiders.  They know how it works... and Clinton knows this, too.

If Clinton really is the comeback kid and if Obama really is stumbling, she'll win both states in two weeks... hell, I'll give her credit if she just takes Indiana by 10%.

All Clinton earned tonight was an excuse to stay in the race and fundraise maybe half of what she needs to pay off her outstanding bills.

This diary reminds me of the old "BSD is Dying" troll posts on slashdot.

I read the title and was sure this was a snark diary.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...No seriously this is a joke right???

Obama will drop out once Clinton is leading him by 150 delegates with almost no way to make that up. deal?

Seriously, tell me. Where is Clinton going to pick up the delegates. In her big state wins, she can't net more that 10-15 delegates.

As an African American, I would really appreciate if the Anti Black wing of the democratic party would stop trying to use Wright, Jesse Jackson, Farrakan, Al Sharpton against OBAMA. In fact these people have been closely associated with the democratic party and have been for decades.

Your insulting the African American base which is the most reliable voting block in the democratic party. Everytime you try to use guilt by association with BLACK LEADERS you piss off black voters know the white code for "I support blacks but not blacks acting black".

I am not personally offended because I am happy its out in the open. I am happy Black America can see how many democrats resent the Black Leadership that has encouraged us for decades to vote democrat. The same black leadership that helped put Bill Clinton in Office. Now blackness is a polictial Liability you can just get thrown under the bus.

Dont act to black around Hillary she will say you hate white people and reject and denounce you!

Um, what's Obama's link to Sharpton, is it that there both Black? Or what?!
