Forget the superdelegates, says actor John Leguizamo. There's a quicker and less painful solution to choosing the Democratic nominee: Mixed Martial Arts.

A senior campaign official and Clinton confidante has told me that there will be a Democratic nominee by June 15. He could not bring himself to say the words "Hillary will drop out by June 15," but that is clearly what he meant.

Barack will most likely lose West Virginia and Kentucky, but each one will contribute more delegates to the final number he needs to clinch the nomination.

It was interesting listening to the pundits try to puzzle everythig through as suddenly, somewhere south of midnight, Indiana surged for Obama, leaving the mayor of Gary, Indiana with some serious bragging rights (and giving Keith Olbermann an excuse to cite The Music Man).

What is unclear is whether Hillary can possibly move the race forward. Whatever path to the nomination she once envisioned has entirely evaporated, a reality not lost on the remaining superdelegates.
RJ Eskow | Posted 05.07.2008 | Politics
Before yesterday's primaries she had already lost the nomination process according to any objective measure not invented by her own campaign. It's still over. She's still through.

To be crass and point out the unpalatable truth, there isn't a lot in it for Hillary to back Obama in a more than pro-forma "going through the motions" fashion.
Tom Hayden | Posted 05.06.2008 | Politics
Hillary needed two wins. She failed utterly. But she will not stop, not on her own. The superdelegates should intervene tomorrow to send Hillary a message. Out now.
Al Giordano | Posted 05.06.2008 | Politics
The media talking heads will ask aloud why Obama can't "close the deal" (in Clinton's own words) and what is numerically a defeat for Clinton will get spun as a Clinton victory.

Hillary's actual policy proposals are more likely to pad corporate bottom lines than better the lives of those at whom she lobs her populist campaign rhetoric.
