Chuck Todd (on your 'War of Attrition'): I so hope you are wrong that a block of Superdels are waiting to force Obama to put Clinton on the ticket! I can't imagine a weaker Veep for the ticket!! Hopefully they will be looking for real creds not her imaginary ones, and a compliment to Obama not the antithesis!!!

I think it's worth mentioning that a total of four add-on super delegates are selected in Maryland, Louisiana and South Carolina tomorrow. Obama won those states by large margins, and it is expected (but not certain) that he will pick up all four add-ons, in addition to the three on Monday from Illinois.

Jon, TX — Fri, 02 May 2008 22:58:40 GMT

It seems that the reason that more Hispanic superdelegates seem to support Hillary is because of racial issues, not because of Hillary's qualities. By qualities, the superdelegate meant disintegrity, dishonesty (these are what voters said in the polls) and deception. What other qualities does he mean, Chuck?

Please note that predictions are predictions, and what Obama's campaign was noting did not amount to accuracy, but estimates.

Walt, Ohio — Fri, 02 May 2008 23:04:29 GMT

To Indiana and North Carolina McCain supporters, and Republicans:
I agree with the Hillary supporters that say a vote for Obama is a vote for McCain. And there is a general consensus among the national GOP that Obama is the weaker candidate. It seems likely that a vote for Obama would help McCain. This is the Clinton supporters argument.
So all McCain supporters, cross over on Tuesday and vote for Obama. According to the Clinton supporters, McCain will crush Obama. So lets end this now by voting for Obama. This would be the smart play.
McCain does not want to face the vaunted Clinton political machine. She has so much experience. McCain would be in trouble.
So Indiana and NC Republican McCain supporters, cast your vote for Obama on Tuesday. Trust me, you do not want to face Clinton. She's scary.

Fred-Boston,Mass. — Fri, 02 May 2008 23:10:08 GMT

Hillary needs to get Fla. and Mich back in play now! She needs to move the finish line which will change the percentages. Even with Fla. and Mich. in play she will be behind, but with a strong finish it will be so close the Super-delegates can comfortably go to her without it looking to unseamly.
Obama is now unelectable! Taking this nomination away from him may not be fair to him but screw him! I for one want a democrat in the Whitehouse.I voted for Obama here in Mass. before the truth came out. Now I feel stupid.
These Superdelegates are going to Obama because they think 2025 is the magic number. With this STUPID proposional delegate system he will now get to that number first. They just want to be with the winner. What they really should do is the right thing. Save the party from disaster. Does anyone really believe that Obama would be leading if every state could revote today?
Fla. and Mich. are the key!More noise is needed. Obama must be stopped no matter how unfair it may be to him. The issues are to important. In this case the ends justify the means!

Robert Hussien Harris, Buckeye, AZ — Fri, 02 May 2008 23:20:47 GMT

Just did a bit of my own math and it looks to me that Obama may be able to take the nomination even without any more superdelegates.

There are 503 remaining elected delegates from the 7 states + Guam and Puerto Rico.

Obama only needs 287 more of those 503 delegates (57% ) to take get to the magic number of 2,025. Based on most estimates of how the primaries will go, Obama could very well end this by or before June 3.
On the other hand Hillary needs 422 of those 503 remaining elected delegates ( 83.9% ). Not gonna happen.

So much for the "nobody can win without superdelegates" argument

Olbermann and Countdown are ticked because Hillary did a two-part interview with O'Reilly on The Factor, which came off pretty well. This is what Countdown gets when it aligns itself with far left groups who are trying to run the Democratic Party.

Obama did a Fox interview with Chris Wallace and even Howard Dean will do Fox next.

Meanwhile Olbermann still interviews only like-minded individuals and plays the overly biased leftwinger to the max. And it gets him last place in the ratings but everyday comfort from his Olbermann idol-worshippers.

Obama has only won the white middle class vote in two states; Utah and Vermont. Clinton did not campaign in either state. How are we going to win the general election if Barack cannot carry the swing vote here? Let's be real here, he has not been able to carry the necessary block in any one of the key battleground states. He's even put NY into play. Starry eyed, naive, so called "progressives" are setting us up for another Republican Presidency. If Obama does not win in IN and fails to claim a double digit win in NC, he needs to drop out for the good of the Party.

Watch for another Wright strike before Tuesday. He will speak again and he will speak personally of his relationship with Obama.

Thanks!

You guys have to be kidding! If MSNBC and their cheerleaders would tell you the truth. The Super Delegate movement to Obama has been the concern over the possibility of a black backlass. All politics "are local" and many in their congressional district are just covering their a..and could care less about who is President if their job might be on the line. The "rats" that are jumping ship are only going to another rat infested ship. I was taught "my word is my bond" and I would not trust anyone who could not live up to his, and worst one who did not have the courage to tell the person he was leaving. Real Hero.

Check out my website for a more detailed analysis into the race. Add-ons and Superdelegates should be treated separately.

Also, the projection is that Clinton will need to win between 85% and 91% of the uncommitted superdelegates (assuming charitable 32-32 split of the last 64 add-on delegates) to win the nomination.

It is a sad day when Americans would rather see 300,000 other Americans lose their jobs so they could save $28 - $30 worth of gas for three months.

It is even sadder when a presidential candidate feels nothing regarding the prospect of these people losing their jobs so she can win an election.

What if that was your mom, dad, brother or sister losing their jobs? How would you make it? All of that for $28 worth of gas.

Haven’t we been screwed enough? Haven’t enough jobs been lost to foreign countries? We should never lose jobs because someone wants to win votes.

Stop the cycle of fear and the gridlock of partisan polarization!!! Do we really want the pendulum to swing back to Liberal special interests over conservative special interests?

A memo has surfaced in which Evan Bayh critisizes the Clinton Adm for it) Chris said he wasn't familiar with it. ABC news did a story on it. This pretty much sums up MSNBC.

The kind that this country needs desperately. Hillary is nothing but lies, pandering, and down-right disgusting campaigning. Kudos to the Superdegate who defected from the Clintons...He stood up for something he believes in, despite all the political trash it is going to bring him. It is things like that that make me think there is still some hope. And by the way, all we keep hearing about is the "Reagan Democrats" and how Obama is having a hard time reaching them...How about the Obama Republicans (and there are many out there) do you think HIllary will be able to reach any of them??

All I ask is that those voting on Tuesday keep a few things in mind. If HRC is the nominee for the Democratic party, how well will she do in the voting process in November, when she and her husband will be in CA in tril for FRAUD!! I just want to voters to keep that in mind. If they let her steal the nomination away from the one who holds the most votes all the way around, then certainly how can they expect people to vote for her in November, during the presidetial race for the WH house she is in trial. This is something the Clinton's have tried to push under the rug. They say that we just don't know who Obama is, well I think we have seen in the past few weeks that even what he has been through, and the total lack of fair press, he is still pulling in the SD. I also appluad him for standing up on the gas tax. HRC and JMc are taking a quick fix and not looking at tomorrow. Senator Obama is telling us what will happen in next few months if we take that quick fix, now JMc wants to explain better what he said about it. It really is time for a change. I ask again that you remember the Clinton's FRAUD situation and remember that in court is where she will be in November while we are deciding on who our new president should be. I know the Democratic party can't even begin to find logic in that.

I'm for Hillary but don't see the need for Obama to put her on the ticket or, if for a massive swing to Hillary, there is no need for her to put him on the ticket. They are both great candidates but the many of their fans have boxed themselves into a no win rather than the win-win posibility. They have both continued to play hard but the fans have played dirty from the start with name calling. The two candidates have been far less negative than any other campaign that i can remember since I first voted in 1962. Whoever wins, they ought to look for a candidate who represents by history, location, and record the middle class and working poor. They are both big city. John Edwards is a good man but has shown twice that he can't get the votes. Someone from Ohio who has already earned the trust of the people would be a good place to look. It is time to move the country to represent the majority, not the few.
