I've got the feeling we're going to see some big stuff between now and PA, and then NC.

I know alot of posters of certain persuasions think it's over. Assuming you allow for the possibility that it's not, what do you think those Aces might be?

1. I hope it is announcements of Progressive Initiatives.

I hope that it is a New New Deal to save workers and the American economy.

I hope that it is legislation to indict and Impeach no less than 10 high-ranking members of the War Crimes Administration.

I hope it is a rally call save this country.

We, the People, have had Enough.

2. Better question; if there are 'aces' left, would they have anything

positive to do with the Clinton campaign, or would it all be negative towards Obama?

The former would be great; the latter would be typical. I don't know how much more people can take of 'typical'.

3. Aces get played out in "trick" games, like bridge, spades, or euchre.

In poker cards are only played after the bidding, if at all.

No money. Sorry.

7. In the words of Peter Tosh:

"Watcha gonna do, when the well runs dry?
I'd like to know
Watcha gonna do, when your well runs dry?"

8. Ha! Ha!

Do you know that Clinton raised 2 million dollars in response to a call to her supporters recently. It was to match Obama's campaign spending in Pennsylvania. She set a goal of a million, quickly exceeded that, and got two million. THen the campaign stopped counting and stopped calling explicitly for that amount.

But I don't think there's any reason to believe that she's not still raising hundreds of thousands/day and millions/week.

We're in this to win this.

12. It was written and posted on March 21, but go ahead and deny the

undeniable.

16. Can't read, can you?

Clinton finished February with more than $33 million in cash on hand, but $21.5 million of that is earmarked exclusively for the general election, leaving her with $11.7 million for the primary.

14. Sorry Ken. It's over. The well has gone dry. Now she has to worry..

.. about disentangling her GE donations to help with her debt. God, what a horrid campaign. This story will be the fodder that million-sellers are made of.

15. But how much of that is tied to the GE?

Her donors are maxed out. She can't use those funds in the primaries. Obama has a huge pool of donors who can keep giving.

9. If Hillary had any more cards, they would've been played during all the Feb primaries she lost and..

..certainly before March 4th.

Sorry... I think you are hoping against hope.

13. If she has "aces" to play

and still hasn't after she has sealed up losses in pledged delegates, then I'm not sure this is the card player we want playing America's hand.

That said, I think her last aces were MI and FL. They are played, or more accurately removed from the table.
