Politico article: Clinton has virtually no chance of winning
From Jim Vandehei & Mike Allen

One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.

(Snip)

Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote — which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle — and use that achievement to pressure superdelegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else.

People who think that scenario is even remotely likely are living on another planet.


They lay out a pretty convincing case for why Clinton can't win. The Democratic Party must not alienate the African American vote, period.

2. It's the "virtual" that harnesses me from
believing 100% that Obama's nomination is a done deal.

5. NO NO NO NO
We need to spend millions and millions more dollars, have dozens of more scathing attacks against fellow democrats, hopefully with a few mind-numbing scandals, go through an agonizing media Superdelegate frenzy and endure endless more sinks being thrown for three months just so we can rightfully determine...

...exactly what we know now.
