Obama wins Oregon and Clinton wins Kentucky. Obama now has a majority of the pledged delegates, Clinton sees a gazillion reasons to stay in the race.
Yeah, yeah. What I said here, here and here.
This was, albeit unintentionally, the funniest thing a Clinton supporter has said in a very long time:
"`I think in the end, when South Dakota and Montana go last and have their final result, she will sit back and see whether a win can be achieved or not — and if not, she is a class act and will do the class thing and get on board with the Democratic ticket,' said Jay Jacobs, a Democratic leader on Long Island and a superdelegate and top fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton."
Ah, not. I wholly disagree. If she were a "class act," she would have done what RoboWillard did and just stop campaigning. Now she can win if she manages to get the Democratic party to re-write the rules and admit the delegates from Michigan and Florida, which broke the fucking rules and where Obama didn't campaign, but where Clinton ran a shadow and illegal campaign effort. Her other chances of winning depend on the political equivalent of winning the Powerball lottery.
Which leads to the conclusion that Clinton's real goal at this point is to position herself for 2012, having done all that she could to hamstring Obama with her Rovian-style campaign.
