What If?

I know this is all hypothetical but if BO sweeps VA/MD and DC today or wins 2 of 3 and Hillary loses either OhiO or Texas does anyone think she will concede?

I hope she does, but I don't think she will. Then again, I've been wrong before. I think.

Perhaps but I believe the politics game just isn't that simple. There's more to come from Hillary. The strategy of these things are beyond what the typical voter thinks. Shame ain't it?

I'm wrong about every time I open my lips. I was just wondering if she lost one or both of those big states if she would concede or if that is where the "back room dealing" starts for the Super Delegates...One of which is her husband.

She's not going to give up.

The fight will be a little closer if she's the nominee but the Dems should still be able to win it.

How can the Dems lose? They will have a democrat running on both sides. Mccain vs Clinton/Obama. LOL McCain is pretty much a democrat.

They've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory more than once. So, we'll see.

But don't try to throw your cast off garbage on the Dems. It's not their fault all your candidates sucked. After all they ARE Republicans.

It's not that they all sucked...it's that not all of them had a lot of money or could raise a lot of money. It's not always about who would be the best candidate..it's about who has the money and the ability to raise the money.

This doesn't really help Hillary going into the Texas primary....

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Illinois Sen. Barack Obama picked up a key local endorsement Monday as Texas continued to look more like a showdown state in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, threw his support to Obama, accelerating the momentum the Illinois senator gained over the weekend with primary and caucus wins in Louisiana, Washington state, Nebraska and Maine.

Gonzalez is the fourth "superdelegate" from the Lone Star state to support Obama, while New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has secured pledges from 12, including six members of Congress and former U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright, according to the Texas Democratic Party.

"Sen. Obama brings all these new fresh faces," Gonzalez said. "He has a wider audience. He has the greater potential to engage a greater number of people..."
