Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president. 
The former first lady was not ready to formally suspend or end her race in a speech Tuesday night in New York City. But if Obama gets to the magic number of delegates, 2,118, she was prepared to acknowledge that milestone, according to aides who declined to be identified.
Obama effectively secured the magic number Tuesday, based on a tally of pledged delegates, superdelegates who have declared their preference, and another 15 superdelegates who have confirmed their intentions to The Associated Press.
It also included delegates Obama was guaranteed as long as he gained 30 percent of the vote in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.
She HAS to know she has such an extremely limited amount of chances to still get the nomination. Obama has basically clinched it, and if the nomination were to be awarded to Hillary (a VERY slim chance), there would be such revolt in the Democratic party, that John McCain would probably win by a large majority.
While I do believe that Obama does have a decent shot and will most likely be the new President, I can't help but wonder what's going on with John McCain's campaign. It seems lately he's been preoccupied with denouncing Obama attacks.
What's worse for Hillary is that she made several key mistakes during her campaign that taken as a whole, did undermine her "credibility" with voters.
Of course, NOW she says she's "open to being Obama's VP".
Like that's really going to happen. She's said too many spiteful things about Obama, and if I were him, I'd kindly tell her to go fuck off once the nomination was secured.
I'd be curious though on how Obama plans on dealing with guys like Ahmadinejad:
"Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started," the hard-line president said.
It's almost like he's ASKING to be assassinated by the Israeli's or removed from power by Iranian officials.
Incoming Iranian parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, spoke to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh Tuesday morning and expressed faith in Hamas's regime in the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported.
In response, Haniyeh asserted that "[Hamas] will never stop battling the Zionist enemy."
Remember when Bush said that we wouldn't make a distinction between terrorists and those who sponsored them? What the fuck is going on with the CIA? Aren't they supposed to be able to subvert idiotic regimes like this? Shouldn't this be cake work for them?
