with john mccain already holding the republican nomination, he has to be loving the ongoing battle between the two democrats. so my ? is when will the dems have a nominee and who do you want to be president of the remaining tthree

Clinton is close enough that she'll stay in to the bitter end. Obama's only worry is McCain. McCain, however, is rather forgetful and his age will definitely be a factor.

I think by June 3rd, the Dems will have a nominee. There's no way for Clinton to win it, but if polls show her beating McCain, the supers may side with her. If they do, a vast majority of Dems will stay at home and let McCain win by a landslide. Why? If Obama has the delegate lead AND leads in the popular vote, if he doesn't win it, folks will bolt or won't vote at all. Trust me on this. Obama is winning far and square, even though Clinton is trying to get Fla. and Michigan delegates seated (though they didn't count).

Obama, FTW - mark my words. 

I think Obama will win also.

I don't know much about his polotics, but I'm glad that psycho bitch isn't going to be in the white house.

madskillz, nice pun with bitter lol

i understand that fla and mich moved their primary dates but i would be pissed if i lived their and they just said the hell with the delegates .

after the 2000 general election i guess florida is used to it

Well, it really depends on how Hillary does in upcoming primaries, such as the one coming up in PA where polls show her as doing well. If she does really well (really really well) she could hold out until the democratic convention (in Denver, only 20 miles from me) where the superdelegates can decide.

BTW, I'm more of a conservative, so all the candidates, even McCain, aren't really the kind of people I want to see in office. *puts on flame resistant suit*

until the Denver convention

I figure this will keep on going all the way through to the election.
Hillary doesn't strike me as the type to have any consideration for what people other than herself want, she'll keep going even if it's purely out of spite.
Obama strikes me as being very charismatic, and because of this, even if he is willing to drop out to make room for Hillary, his supporters won't transition to Hillary.

McCain has pretty much full endorsment for the entire republican voter base, and possibly even those democratic voters who didn't get their candidate of choice picked during the primaries.

Sorry for those Democrat supporters or Republican haters, but I don't see any possible way for those two to salvage the party support from the rift that they've created. This is basically a perfect parallel to PS3 vs 360 vs Wii. 360 and PS3 are fighting each other for every sale and Wii has its own userbase. Sure, if you total the sales of the PS3 and the 360 together, they come out above what the PS3 has, but since that's not how it works, the Wii is the one with the most console sold now.

@ Sega Jon - LOL, thanks for props on the comment.

@ Grey - there is one thing to remember about this election - the record turnouts for just the primaries. And even if folks are mad and pissed off by the Dems brawling, BUT ... Obama is the front runner and can bring Hillary folks back to the table. Sure, he won't get all of them, but when it's clear Obama has sealed the nomination, this race will unify the Dems. I've talked to Dems who support Hillary, but are leaning to Obama.

McCain is getting funds and the like because he has no one to campaign against. He's gonna have a scrap against Obama. Even now, a lot of folks have never heard what Obama has to say - except from what they hear from Hillary or McCain. When Obama faces McCain, he will gain support among undecideds and even some GOPers - OR the evangelicals will just stay home in November.

This cartoon will be prophetic.

I don't know... it was hard to predict that it would go on this long, but if Clinton doesn't win Pennsylvania I don't see how she could continue.
