Obama's ahead.  He'll win again this weekend and Tuesday.

 I'd vote for that ticket, or the other way 'round.  But Clinton's got to start running *AGAINST* McCain, not with him.

 Even after Texas and Ohio, I still think Obama is going to win. UNFORTUNATELY. Hopefully this will be the only year I have to vote for a republican, and the only year I'm actually glad that Ralph Nader will be there to take votes away from the democratic candidate.

 Katatak, I doubt that very much.  I think more likely that Obama's people got a bit complacent and Hillary put everything she had into Tuesday.  She keeps coming out by the skin of her teeth, but I think the map goes to Obama going forward.

 Meghan, who would you like to have seen on the Democratic side?

Hillary went into debt for Texas/Ohio, frittered away a huge early lead, had a last-minute assist from McCain's campaign (via Canada on the NAFTA smear), went negative and *STILL* only picked up ten delegates. 

.

FWIW, I hope Obama's forgiving and still offers her the veep slot.

My analysis of the media is the same as Bill Clinton's was in Nevada- the media template changed to Hillary in disarray and Obama the golden boy. I didn't matter if I opened my NY Times, WP, USA Today or turned on ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN it was the same template across the board.

Hillary is winning in spite of the media portrayals.

Very strange stuff and the outcome could be even stranger.

 If Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, McCain will be president.

If Obama wins, the race will be tight, but I think we will have our first black president.

You hear a lot of hue and cry over dirty politics, but as long as dirty politics works, we will have dirty politics.  It would be nice if we had independent thinkers instead of spin followers going to the polls.

 Why strange, Katatak?  McCain won *BECAUSE* of the media portrayals.

 I don't know..but i wouldn't count Hillary out just yet.

This is politics and anything can and probably will happen. 

 Clinton has her good points. Unfortunately, taking her at her word--my trust--isn't one of them. I don't see a Clinton/Obama ticket (or other way around). Neither is about to settle for "second place" in a do-nothing office.

 Wife's votin fer HRC  (says she can't abide BO gettin' in there. thinks he's an empty suited con man who appeals to "educated imbeciles")

I swear its gonna cause us ta split

She hates McCain

Calls him a geriatric midget

I even had her watch the "McCain History" thingy the other night, replete with the Forestall incident, shot down over Hanoi and beat by NVA types, etc.....

Her response?  <yawn> "Still don't like him...." <yawn>

Wermen! Can't live with em and can't grind em up fer feed..................
