While Clinton's lost me on the character front, I still have issues with Obama in terms of overall electability come November 4th.

The odds are good that Obama will win the presidency. And if Democrats execute with precision during the campaign, the odds are good that he will win with a healthy margin. Here's why.

Normally the race issue is a third rail in American politics; you're not allowed to touch it. But Clinton did two important things to change that paradigm.

The simple truth is that America is still quite a racist country. I'm not so sure Obama can overturn centuries of deep-rooted racism in just five months.

One of the strongest scenarios among neo-conservatives is based on the hypothesis that in the case of any military attack against Iran, the greatest beneficiary would be John McCain.

What can happen in November is not so much an opportunity to spark a revolution, but an invitation to reinvigorate the bastardized brand that America has become.

That Clinton beats Obama among white, working-class voters in swing states and therefore must be the nominee is like a Woody Allen syllogism.

Obama doesn't exactly have an "Appalachia problem." After all, if West Virginia had a black population akin to Alabama or Mississippi's, Obama would almost certainly have won the state.

1. Denial: "But Senator Clinton hasn't conceded yet! She keeps moving the goal posts, continues playing the race card, it therefore must not really be over for her. We need her permission to move on!"

Obama will need a legion of so-called validators -- from the nationally known to the locally respected Only trusted leaders can provide the necessary assurance to voters.

The conventional wisdom that John McCain's remarkable powers of resurrection that captured the Republican nomination means that he will be a formidable general election candidate is false.

Were Hillary the great rural white savior that her campaign is depicting, she would have been able to dispatch a presidential neophyte like Barack Obama.

Indiana is a dead heat for the Democrats and, remarkably, may be up for grabs come November. What's more, the Obama camp told superdelegates that Ohio and Florida are not key to its general-election strategy.

The superdelegates will go with whoever they perceive as a winner. Today it could be Clinton-- she's hung in there despite being badgered mercilessly to drop out.

He's unleashed what the party line must be, and finally, it's out there in public where it belongs: it's the Republicans we should be railing against, not each other.

There are many reasons why Hillary's argument is fallacious, including the fact that Obama would put many marginal states into play that Hillary would have no chance to win.

Every day that Hillary Clinton stays in the race is another day she spends money damaging Obama's chances against McCain. It almost makes you ask -- does she want him to lose?
