Yes, Clinton wins Indiana, but barely! You know that old saying, 99 and 1/2, just won't do!
She needed and needs to win by double digit percentages today and here on out. It didn't and won't happen, so now what?
Clamoring for the superdelegates? Well Obama substantially closed the gap there.
Now what? The Michigan and Florida delegates? Should they split them down the line, then Obama still wins!
Hillary and her campaign is just ruining the Democratic Party and come November!
What a narcissist. Her boasting about winning the BIG states sure does make the smaller populated states happy.
Hey Hill, it's okay to lose. It's okay...let it go! Or is your plan, YOU or no-one else. You sound like a jealous wife. But given that you kind of favor women these days...oops as Oprah would say, "that is another show!"

If Mrs. Clinton does not drop out of the race tomorrow it is because this is the closest she will ever get to in becoming President of the United States. Ironically, she seems to be savoring the little time she has left.
Help her Bill ! Get out from behind you desk, zip your pants, throw Monica out of the room, wipe her mouth first please and HELP YOUR WIFE!

Half the country knows Obamas not qualified.
The other half hopes he is.

Right now no votes have been counted in Lake County according to CNN. This is predominantly Af. American and Obama strong. How can CBS call it????

It was a close call, and Clinton prevailed! She has worked hard and tough for this, and deserves the nomination!
What further proof is needed that "race" played a huge factor in these 2 primaries?
Clearly, Obama is the "Black Candidate", and Clinton is the "CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE"! She is the only candidate that can defeat McCain in November. She has more substance, she is tough, she is strong in Foreign Affairs and she is a CHAMPION of the people!

Half the country knows Clinton isn't qualified.
The other half doesn't care.

the blacks have united behind obama. he doesnt need a plan or message of hope for america, because he will represent only one segment. hillary was for everyone. obama has divided the country. if the republican blacks unite behind him, he could win and what a changed country it will be. that was obama's message of change.
