1. the only way Hillary gets it is to STEAL IT, to overturn the WILL OF THE PEOPLE
does she want it that bad? bad enough to ruin the party? 2012 isnt worth 4 more years of McSame

3. The will of the people? Uh no, it is the will of pledged delegates
not the people. If it is the will of the people then Kennedy and Kerry need to change their support back to Clinton

5. you need to review how the Democratic primary works. Unfortunately, Hillary and her supporters
don't have a fucking clue.

2. When he gets 2,026 pledged delegates
Then he has won the nomination.

Being likely isn't the same as ... being.

6. Let's put it another way
We have two candidates. One of them can achieve the number of votes to win the nomination. One of them cannot. If it is impossible for Clinton to win the nomination, and it is, then Obama is the candidate.

14. But it is factually incorrect to say
The sun is rising now, no matter how certain it will tomorrow.

I have been saying for weeks that he is going to be the nominee. But I like getting my facts and my verb tenses correct.

I would rather direct my energies towards fighting McCain. It would serve the Obama camp well to accept their upcoming victory with class and grace, instead of treating it like he won the Super Bowl. Get ready for the REAL campaign. You ain't seen nothin' yet.
