So what gives? How come one of the only intelligent people in the media behaves stupidly? Is it the Obama mob spell? Is it the twilight zone we live this election cycle? Is it just bad math?

In theory, we could run some of the smarter people, e.g. Alter, Kos, through a battery of psychological tests to diagnose the trauma they underwent in the hands of, actually, I don’t know whose hands are these.

One think for sure, waking up from this combination of trauma and mental comma will be triggered by a Obama losing to Hillary. Poor mob, they have to find the value of the cold turkey.

Telling Hillary to get off the bus strikes me as a display of weakness more than strength; if the BHOmers were confidant, they’d focus on McCain or do some other posturing associated with already being the winner. So long as the campaign and supporters are focused on telling Hillary to quit, she is helped to appear as still a viable threat.

And this is Hillary, not some shrinking violet; she’s been told again and again over the years she should pack it in and she just keeps showing up, and winning. The last thing she’ll do is stop because the opposition says she should, and if they keep this drumbeat up she will stick to it right through the floor count at the convention just to show them they can’t beat her down. On the other hand, if they were gracious about it and simply shifted attention to McCain, Bush and Republicanism, she would be much more likely to at some point graciously accept defeat.

Odd tactic. Wonder if they think they can play the “inevitable” card against McCain too?

— The concern isn’t that Hillary stay in the race per se.
It’s that continued attacks against the almost-certain nominee will fracture the party and throw the election to McCain. In fact, that already seems to be happening.

…my theory is that these people want Obama to be the nominee, but are deathly afraid that he will lose, and want to have Hillary to blame for their own bad judgement when things do go south for Barry.

The New York Daily News on why Obama must win tomorrow night. Shorter version, it’ll be his third chance to finish Hillary off and if he can’t, then there’s a problem. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/colu…

Paul, I do think a lot of the pushing for Clinton to drop out is because Obama’s campaign and his supporters have been afraid that he’ll lose on March 4 and that will take his momentum with it. Of course, I still think he has an good shot at at least winning Texas.

that if Senator Barack Obama is not the Democratic nominee several months before the election, the chimera of his charisma and the appeal of his appearing as a change agent will wear off.

I for one am tired of the entire primary race. I am tired of the sly inferences that a vote for Hillary is a vote against all blacks everywhere for all time; I am tired of the not-so-subtle hints that as a woman the only reason I would vote for Hillary Clinton is because of my physiology. Moreover, I am tired of being told that if I don’t vote for Barack Obama I’m holding back the Rapture with my own two hands.

Obama has problems. A tad of a little lie. Never met with Canadian officials, not according to Associated Press who have some minutes to a meeting.

He will unravel. It is a question of soon or later, not if.
