    That's way too close to even think about who might come out on top.
    One beautiful thing about having a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations is that every disaster is measured in terms of economic loss. It's sort of like getting your arm sheared off in a car accident and thinking, "Damn, now it'll take longer to fold the laundry" as blood spurts from your arteries. - The Rude Pundit

    That's the standing at the time of the post (made). It'll still be watched, but as of this moment Hillary Clinton is ahead in the race.

    It'll take days, with all the absentee votes and figuring out the apportionment of delegates. I have to say, I think if Hillary wins, she might choose Barack for a running mate, but if Barack wins, I wonder if he'll choose Hillary?

    Why do I think the answer is 'no'?

    But this is one exciting race. And then Huckabee making strides? Ugh.

    I'm pretty worried about Hillary winning the nomination. I'm almost positive she won't be able to win the general for reasons that mostly have to do with her personal baggage.

    Don't misunderstand me: I like Hillary fine. I just think she'll lose. It would be just like the Democrats to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

    um. . . The "comes out ahead" thingy might be a little early. The superdelegates are not committed yet and the numbers given for them are anyone's guess. An educated guess, maybe, but a guess either way. Also, if you look at the ground Obama made up with regards to white female and hispanic voters since the earlier primaries, Clinton shold be a little scared at the moment.

    I went for Obama in the primary, but that's not to say I wouldn't vote for Clinton in the general, should she win the nomination. But there seems to be a movement in the lower ranks of the party to throw her overboard.

    Delagates

    Will be interesting to see how the final tally will result in delegate distribution.

    Currently Clinton has 783, while Obama has 709 a difference of only 74. Edwards can be critical with 26 delegates. If Edwards pledges his delegates to Obama all he will need to do is gain 49 more delegates than Hillary and he's the nominee.

    On another note, if it were that close, How do you feel Hillary will react about Michigan and Florida?

    In every state Hillary's total deligates came out higher than projected.

    In looking at the other states where primaries have yet to happen, her projections look good and and if they if they jump higher like yesterday's elections she'll (probably) remain in the lead.

    I'm not sure what percentage of the population of 300 million plus meets the exiguous requirements (age, natural born citizen, what else is there?) needed to run for and hold the office of President of the US, but I'm dismayed this is what we're left to pick from.
    The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.

    709 from a black man running against the hierarchy of the Dems ? A lady that was considered the "Belle of the Ball" ? I believe what Barack did was/is VERY impressive in America on Super Tuesday ! Hillary & her backers knew she would "take" NYS & California , but is she resting easy today ? I don't think so , but congrats to all those who did work/volunteer for her , politicing (sic) is hard work & can be very disappointing , so don't pack your suitcases for D.C. yet !

    What's the sense in voting for Edwards at this point? I just don't get it.
