As I have been saying for the past two months or so, the delegate lead enjoyed by Obama does not matter a can of beans, unless he reaches the 2025 magic number.

What Obama has shown is that he still cannot close the deal. Imagine any half-decent candidate who won 10-12 primaries in a row, right after Super Tuesday! Any other candidate, of either party, would have sealed the nomination.

Since February, Obama has consistently shown that he cannot get 30% of the white Democratic vote. Put that in your pipes and smoke it, superdelegates!

The trend is going to continue in the remaining primaries. How are the Dems going to spin similar results from PA, IN, KY, NC and WV, where results will show that Obama is nothing more than a candidate for blacks and the MoveOn.org crowd?

The party dare not deny him the nomination in Denver, given their propensity for affirmative action and race politics. Once nominated, Obama's fate will be the same as Ned Lamont in CT, on a national scale.

Also from the same article "There has been no change in the general election trial heats, with Obama's margin over Republican John McCain at 45% to 44% among registered voters nationally, and Clinton's margin at 46% to 44%." good luck GOP "Geriatric Old People"

I remember when I was young and thought the Republicans were for old people, I guess I grew up.

Just means they're trading the empty suit for the one who thinks she should be the queen.

Obama is back up a couple of points in Gallup's poll Sunday afternon and down it seems like roughly 5 points in Pa. But the big poll may be the provincial Iraq elections scheduled for October 1, 2008. Violence in Iraq is already ´ratcheting' up in anticipation ..Think what McCain's call for "total victory", will sound like in September when the violence reaches its crescendo. As Iraq goes, so goes McCain. And I anticipate that McCain will still be confusing or clueness as our enemies- Shiite, Sunni or Al-Qaeda. He is not exactly early on the learning curve and in his fantasy world believes if we just push a little harder..It is not going to happen and this will be Obama's argument..Clinton can't make it as effectively for obvious reasons of credibility.
