A Fence Sitter Explains why Bill Clinton is Wrong (From the Safety of His Armchair)
I can't imagine Clinton simply dropping out. Instead, I see the already pitched battle for superdelegates getting even hotter (if that's possible).

Outspending, out-spinning, and most important, out-organizing the Clinton campaign, Senator Obama has nearly pulled even with Senator Clinton in Ohio...

Clinton's new campaign ad airing in Texas, which uses tactics to scare voters into voting for her, should be enough to make everyone vote against her. Haven't we had enough fearmongering?

As America's anxiety grows, the economy not only is becoming a preeminent issue of the election, but the candidates are responding to public anxiety about the current model of globalization.

Hillary's strategy on NAFTA assumes that the media will simply report her revisionist history as fact, and worse, that Americans who have been crushed by this unfair trade policy are a bunch of idiots.
Dylan Loewe | Posted 02.22.2008 | Politics
Surely if Hillary wins both Ohio and Texas she will continue onward, hoping that after 36 contests, there is still such a thing as momentum. But win or lose, the math is still daunting.

A few blasé voices here and there have said we don't need to worry about the superdelegates this time around. But the point is: We should never have to worry about them again.

The last thing McCain needs is a media that begins reminding the American people why his unyielding support for a long term commitment of U.S. forces in Iraq is just a carryover of Bush's Iraq disaster.

So here's the situation as we head for the March 4 primaries: the Clintons and McCain running against Obama together, on the same theme.

The Republicans will again trot out Rove-Hudson anti-abortion, anti-gay issues to whip Catholics into line. But many Democrats have learned to fight back.

The Clinton operation's dismissive attitude towards the states that she loses feels uncomfortably like a post-facto snub by the aggrieved party in a break up: "he's not really my type anyway."

A close friend of mine who also left the conservative Mennonite world put it to me this way: "It's hard to talk about our childhood world in cocktail party language -- because it takes too long to explain."
