Hillary's Parallel Reality

5/26/08- Hillary, Hillary, Hillary her name is starting to sound like an echo in the wind...at this point what can she be waiting for to finally leave the race? I think I might have the answer...she wants to a have her  great season  finale in an enchanted island (perhaps Puerto Rico?), like a Lost episode...who wouldnt?????

The reality is that there are only three more contests to go: Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota for a total prize of 110 delegates...  Barack Obama has 1965 delegates and Senator Clinton 1780. This means that Barack is only 61 delegates away from securing the nomination (2026 delegates needed), while Hillary is 251 delegates short. Last week I said she needed three miracles, now I dare to say  that its impossible in this lifetime, well maybe plausible  in Hillary´s parallel reality.  Delegates are distributed proportionately and of those 110 delegates left, she cannot win them all. Barack Obama will get a proportion of delegates according to the votes obtained. Therefore, there is not much the Clinton campaign can do at this point in time to revert the cruel truth...

But since we know that the Clintons are not going to give up any time soon they will try to push the DNC to grant Hillary the delegates she allegedly won in Michigan and Florida, but Obama was not even in Michigan´s ballot. The fair way would be to re do these primaries and that would be extremely costly for the party: financially and politically.  Howard Dean, are you ready for what´s coming your way??? I should ask to all of you readers, what are the possible threats coming Dean’s way??? Any ideas??  

The DNC is refusing to redo the voting and they are still trying to find a solution for this uncomfortable situation for Michigan and Florida voters...in the meantime we had a recent snapshot of the perfect GQ cover, I mean a very desirable democratic ticket with Obama and Edwards in it...while Hillary keeps living of her super ego and oh McCain has his Reverend affair...

Look for next weeks´ blog on Edward and Obama´s GQ cover ...hair affairs and McCains´ health report!
