    Wow, just as a huge Clinton hit job gets called for what it is ITT Wil proves himself to be a Hillary supporter! :lol:

    Anyways, I wish people would stop lending Hillary money for the campaign if they know she's in the red and little to no chance of winning. I mean, if I was in her position my bank sure wouldnt give me a loan. :P

    Like personal wealth? Probably. Hillary's primary budget is shrinking though, owing to the fact that she's relied upon big donors who maxed out early.

    It's wishful thinking, blind optimism, and all that, but I'm sticking by my earlier prediction (especially in light of the PPP numbers from today):

    Clinton wins by 2 points. The first two days of coverage are about Hillary's defeat of Obama's money machine. The race continues onto NC and Indiana. By Friday evening, newscasts start pointing out that, despite her victory, the delegate math just got much worse for her. By May 1st, Obama finally goes ahead of Clinton in number of superdelegates (he's only behind her by about 25 now).

    On May 6th, Obama wins NC by 13, and Clinton wins Indiana by less than 1 percent. She drops out of the race by May 10th.

    Yes, it's all pure speculation, but gosh darn it, I like it.

    If she only wins Pennsylvania by 2 points then Obama will absolutely rock her in NC.

    There's a reason she's not donating any more money to her campaign. As is, unless she manages to win the nomination she's going to take a loss of $5M - no one is going to give her money to pay back that loan to herself. Any of her own money that she puts into the campaign at this point will never be seen again.

    I was seriously shocked and awed when I heard that question had been asked at that debate.

    But yeah, I honestly don't know how PA will turn out. Hillary isn't as good at pretending to be a "Good Ol' Boy" as she seems to think she is.

    I'm pretty sure she mentally wrote off that 5 million as lost money, but I'm pretty shocked anyone is doing work for her without cash in hand at this point. She's proven she has no problems letting bills slip unless the debtor goes to the press with it.

    That said, Clinton by 4-8, I'm seeing backlash against the blatant media hits being put out on Obama right now.

    I wonder if there might be a certain number of Hillary supporters that might vote Obama not because they dislike Hillary, but because they honestly want the primary to be over, and have accepted the cold hard truth of the delegate math.

    Basically, I predict most of the "undecideds" going to Hillary. It's always hard to assess late-deciders, but it's generally a safe bet that they're low-information voters who will tend to vote along the lines of very very early polling (which was heavily Hillary).

    So aside from the oh so republican ad (Osama? REALLY?), her campaign is chiding Obama about how bad it is when you apply the Kitchen Sink strategy.
