Party unity

John Cole says this is how the Democratic Party will come together in the next couple of months:

Incidentally, Karl Rove said on Fox News, "I think there's a Democratic nominee now". Expect the RNC to open fire against Obama. Pretty soon, they won't have Clinton to carry their water for them anymore.

Update: I pulled the link to Cole's site since it crashed. Sorry John...

        •  i might add, the margin she wins by

          is certainly a margin one can hang around Opperation Chaos' neck.

          Me thinks this is why Hillary is off TeeVee tomorrow...

          How in the fucking world can she explain Rush's desire to face off against her openly b/c she's the easiest to beat

    •  Greg Sargent at TPM Cafe has reported

      that (per Tim Russert) Clinton has cancelled all her appearances on the early news shows tomorrow. http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpoi...

      I'd like to believe that's a sign of her impending withdrawal from the race, but maybe it's just that she doesn't want to have to discuss the results in Indiana.

      •  I don't want her as Majority Leader

        I'm hoping there is a credible challenger to her Senate seat in 2012

        by NY John on Tue May 06, 2008 at 09:59:47 PM PDT

      •  The position of Senate Majority Leader

        was supposedly going to be offered to her a long time ago in exchange for her not running in 2008. Considering both that and the number of bridges she's burnt during her primary campaign, I'd be surprised if she had a chance at that position.

•  Unity ticket is a no-go

  Seriously - Hillary Clinton has spent more time blasting Obama than she can make up for.  Putting Obama's pride aside, imagine all the campaign ads the Repubs can run with Hillary's words against Barack.  Heck, she's said several times that McCain is better than him.  That's gonna be painful enough to overcome already, let alone with her on the ticket.

  All Hillary brings to the ticket is that she's a white centrist Democrat.  I can find you five white centrist Democrats who don't have her baggage and come from a state we need to carry.  Top of that list are Richardson and Webb.

  Not sure what I think about this.

  The late returns from one county does smell fishy.

  I suppose this will be looked at under several high magnification microscopes very shortly, no matter who wins.

  Did someone decide HRC had to be stopped at any cost, legalities be damned?

  •  Crazies...

    ...like Hillary is 44, Hillary Bloggers, and Taylor Marsh will never get behind Obama, but they will have very few followers. They're not significant whatsoever.

  •  Hinting at it at Talkleft

    Update: Wow. The Mayor of Hammond, also in Lake County, just said on Larry King Live that Hillary won Hammond by 600 votes and they turned the votes in at 6:30 and Lake County didn't release the votes. The votes they are releasing now are from Gary. They also failed to report the votes of four other cities in the county that she won. He says the mayors know the results and don't know why Lake County refused to release the vote count.

    And not freak if they call for some recounts.

    or at least that's what everyone keeps saying tonight.

  •  I know what to think

    They are neck deep in crazy over there!

    I’ve decided today that no matter what, I’m switching my party affiliation to Republican from Democratic.... I can stand 4 more years of Bush-like politics, though I admit I don’t want to. What I won’t be able to stand, however, is a politician as corrupt, self-serving, conniving, lying, and america-hating as Senator Barack Hussein Obama sitting in the Oval Office and I will use 150% of my heart to make sure this dangerous man does not EVER be put into the position to lead our Great Nation.

    Wow. I'm speechless.

      Just change the name, and it could be a Kos comment.

•  Obama does not need Clinton...

  .. despite the pathetic incantations of Harold Ford.

  Too much baggage.

  I am now pushing Claire McCaskill. She is tough, great with the media... and... a woman.

  •  Your'e wrong: Obama desperately needs Clinton,

    Bill Clinton that is, campaigning for ...

     ...   John McCain!

  •  He should get a popular Democratic governor.

    Preferably one from a state that will balance out the ticket geographically, from a state that we need to win in November, and one who will help maintain the high positive ratings of the ticket.  To that end, I'd like to suggest a dark horse candidate.  Governor Lynch of New Hampshire.

    •  Chris Matthews several times mentioned Ed Rendell

      I'm sure that won't be very popular here.

  Boy that Rovie is really out in front on things isn't he? By the way the hoodlum needs to be talking to Congressmen (under oath)in a congressional hearing instead of in front of tv cameras.

•  Percentage Delegates Needed

  Here are my calculations of the percentage of delegates Clinton needs to win.

  If she wins 50% of remaining superdelegates she will need to win over 76% of remaining pledged delegates.She would still lose pledged delegates by about 14.

  If she wins 55% of remaining superdelegates she will need to win over 71% of remaining pledged delegates.She would still lose pledged delegates by about 40.

  If she wins 60% of remaining superdelegates she will need to win over 66% of remaining pledged delegates.She would still lose pledged delegates by about 67.

  If she wins 65% of remaining superdelegates she will need to win over 61% of remaining pledged delegates. She would still lose pledged delegates by about 93.

  If she wins 70% of remaining superdelegates she will need to win over 56% of remaining pledged delegates. She would lose still pledged delegates by about 120.

•  Math

  OK, I did some math. At this hour, 12:48 AM, Clinton leads by 16,609 votes. 44% of Lake County is unaccounted for. That's a total of 56,460 votes.

  If you attribute 65% of the remaining vote to Obama and 35% to Clinton, as is the case right now, that means Obama gets 36,699 votes to Clinton's 19,761.

  That'
