PS---Tonight (March 4th) there is awesome primary coverage by TYT at www.theyoungturks.com . There is a live chat and of course there are up to the minute updates on the election. And as usual they have some great guests (here's a partial list):

Richard Wolffe and Eleanor Clift from Newsweek

Cliff Shecter from Brave New Films

Ari Melber from The Nation

Stop supporting corporate, mainstream media coverage and support progressive programming that is more informative, entertaining and commercial free.

Also, you can always watch TYT Live from 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

2. It's not about delegates at all.

Cenk makes the undeniable case as to why Hillary is too far behind to win the pledged delegate race. She knows this.

But Battleship Hillary is going to continue firing all guns at Barack all the way to the convention, with the notion that, by the time they get there, the Good Ship Obama is going to be so full of holes it is no longer seaworthy. Hillary won't have the lead in pledged delegates, but comparatively she'll look like the stronger candidate, and the Superdelegates will put her over the top. No one will riot because Obama will so plainly be damaged goods.

In other words, she'll be the McCain before McCain, and wait for new Rezko dirt to come out during the trial or something else to show up from Obama's past that ruins him. That's the hope anyway.

The saddest part of this strategy is that it's going to turn off a whole segment of voters Obama was bringing in, the ones who find the bickering and negativity of partisan politics distasteful. I think many of them are already saying, "To heck with both of you," now that the race has descended down into negative ad territory.

I have begun to think that the ultimate victory is going to be McCain's this year. What a shame.

3. Yeah, it's starting to really look like that may be the case. Time will tell. n/t

4. And if Hillary loses these primaries, most of her supporters won't

vote for Obama. They'll defect right over to McCain. So I agree with you.

It'll be McCain as our next POTUS.

5. I don't buy that threat

Most of Hillary's supporters do NOT want 1-2 more conservative supreme court justices, because they know exactly what that would mean.

6. That would bea disaster....... Hillary needs to give it UP.

She cannot win, she doesn't have a chance with delegates and if they vote against the will of the people they will find themselves out next election day.

7. Yes she won the biggest states

What may happen since Obama was on the ballot in Florida if it goes to the convention. They will split Michigan or revote. If they can't decide on Michigan they will flip a coin. And decide to split or revote. Does anybody have that lucky french angel coin. Let the angels decide.

Howard Dean will flip Bill will witness for Hillary and I have no idea who will witness for Barack.

Hillary will get Florida sorry Obama was on the ticket. It's only fair.

8. But you have to look at the big cities *within* those big states

Like Ohio yesterday. Cincinnati, Cleveland, etc. Who won those? Winning in the primaries is not the same as winning in the general.
