Hillary will lose the nomination and Sullivan will indict Obama. It's going to be McCain vs. Gore. We’re in, guys. Hillary will lose the nomination and Sullivan will indict Obama.

Prairie states are almost all white and all Obama. In a reliably conservative, nearly all-white county (KC suburb of Johnson County, KS), 60 showed up four years ago in an Olathe church. There were 2,000 last Tuesday, standing outside a light rain. Eastern Nebraska (read Omaha) has a large black population.

McCain's inability to put an easy end to this thing is quite striking (and more than a little alarming.) Hillary's got such a striking negative profile that I think she's still beatable, but it may well be time to start preparing for President Obama. --JRM Paul’s performance in Washington is amazing.

Must bee all those used to be liberals that now have their piece of the pie and sorta like the idea of keeping it? Overall it appears the Clinton witch got hers handed to her this weekend eh? Awe but her really dirty tricks are all yet to come! Paul’s strong showing in WA is rather perplexing.

The coming contests involve a smaller percentage of blacks in the voting populace. Of course, the Super delegates is where this will ultimately be decided. HRC knows where the skeletons are buried. No way does the DNC establishment allow BO to beat her if it gets to Denver a relatively even 1st ballot. So long as HRC enjoys 70% support among white voters, as she did tonight, she wins.

There are many blacks, and whites have mostly fled to the Republican Party (example: Georgia, Louisiana), b. Caucus states where pressure to vote for the social-status marker Obama is high, and c. states with few blacks and Democrats are mostly upper-income whites, working/middle class whites fleeing to the Republicans. Notably, Obama got almost no Asian support in California (one of the few to break that out) and has not done well with Latinos. No surprises there. I would assume Nebraska and Washington fit in category b or c. Obama wins where: a. There are many blacks, and whites have mostly fled to the Republican Party (example: Georgia, Louisiana), b.
