The noose is closing. It's about time the media start catching up with the facts that have been out there for weeks now. Hillary has become Huckabee, and the only question left is why the media still considers her a viable entity in this race.

Precisely the executive skills needed to resolve our nation's fiscal problems.

She'll gladly dispense with the $5M if that's what it takes for her to get "my precious."

ides of march is excellent news for hillary

The latest FEC reports appear to suggest that the Hillary campaign may be in the red:

Where is all this uncertainty coming from? Are FEC reports really that vague?

Relax Thetans. This is going to the convention.

And this:
"The noose is closing."

Wowee. Imagine if that had been said about the black candidate.

Genghis -- what's your prob, dude? I happen to know Idiotic, Idiotic is a friend of mine, and you, sir, are no Idiotic! So chill!

Okay - I am going to ante up again for President .....errr....ummm....I mean, Senator Obama !! Sorry, again - getting A LITTLE ahead of myself there! :)

Any body match my $50 ?? Lets create NEW ground swell of donations !!

i am predicting HRC pulls out next week.

OT: Greg you need to fix your bad close link HTML in the piece you just posted of the video Richardson's speech. It is screwing up the entire piece and preventing the comments and permalink links from working.

Ah, yes. What a bunch of "amateurs" they are, over there at the Obama campaign, with all their "money," and "delegates," and "popular vote lead." Oh, and "states won."

Yes, Hillary is really showing us how the "professionals" do it. But doesn't "professional" connote one who gets paid?

All of which is to say - who's the *real* amateur, here? Just saying.

We know she has been telling her donors that the path to victory is through Florida and Michigan.

With that revotes effectively off the table and the DNC rejecting any possibility of seating those delegates as is, how does she convince the donors to keep opening their wallets?

She is in trouble. She can self-finance, but even the Clinton's are not "Romney rich". Obama could bankrupt them in a month.

This is where the difference between the donor bases of Barack and Hillary really show. She has all that money stuck in her GE campaign account because it's from donors who are maxed-out on primary donations.

This may be a sea change. If so, we all have to get less contentious and get all dems unified again.

And how much of her expense goes to consultants???

I don't agree with Huckabee's stand on many issues, but he is a decent guy.

Hillary... not so much.

wow...44 comments in one hour?

I could mention a particular pro-Hillary(fairness) blog that gets 300 posts in 2.

Whoopsie!

Um, she won the last 3 states, despite race-baiting from Hillary (ask Rep John Lewis, one of Obama's own delegates), and is neck and neck, with less money, and the media biting her at every turn...

And the noose is tightening?

Laughable.

So many people are in for a rude awakening in November..

thanks for f*cking up the Dem chances.

Just popped over to Hillaryis44.org and wow. That place is . . . just . . . wow.

Just one or two days ago the Obamites saw their boy trnding down. Now turncoat Richardson opportunistically jumps on the Thetans spaceship and wooosh...the snarky gloating begins. Endorsements by marginal candidates counts for nothing (except their hope that they get a VP nod).

1.This...is...going...to...the...convention.
2. They will arrive in a statistical dead head and deadlock (less than 3% separating their delgate count).
3. The rules committee will draft rules on how to proceed in a way that will result in a winner.
4. Obama The Deceiver will be severely wounded by the immediately precedeing primaries and the inevitable new scandal.

Like a typical basketball game that is decided in the last two minutes..

This isn't even close to being over.

So gloat for today Thetans. The next primary is about a month away and all you dervish twirling will have you exhausted by then.

Slow and steady wins the race. This isn't even close to being over.

(Sorry about all the typos. I definitely need better keyboarding skillz.)

Liberal Historian.

I'll take care of that for you old timer.

;)

I am putting fogu2's 4 point argument post in a not-too-distant time capsule, and then I am going to pull it out and present it without further comment.

Delicious.

Um, she won the last 3 states ~ destardi

The last two states were Mississippi (March 11) and Wyoming (March 8), both won by Obama.

Before that was Ohio,Texas, Vermont, RI, all on March 4. Obama won in Texas and Vermont, so I'm not sure how you figure that Hillary won the last three.

Are you using the Karl Rove math?

Either way, Vegas should put a line out as to when she quits. I say it's before April 15th, so she won't have to release the tax records. If another prominent Dem endorses Obama between now and then, you can turn out the lights on Hillary.

not sure how much attention this will get, but here goes...
This post/ story is based off of an NYT blog post/ column which is linked to the FEC report. But follow the link from the NYT and we get the Clinton campaign's most recent posted FEC filing which, toward the top of the page reads "Filed 02/20/2008"

Look more through the details and we see the date of expenditure to cover January 08 and December 07.

Navigate back and we see that the Obama and Clinton March filings (which presumably have February's expenditures) are not yet posted (still processing by FEC). Ok, so I don't know if the campaigns gave their filings to the NYT or something else... but where's the evidence NYT is writing off of current info as opposed to stale info (it's an easy confusion... the FEC calls it the 'February Report').

Is there actual news here or a conflation of new income with old outflow? Dunno, just wondering.

Although all the comments here on TPM, all the comments on NYT and no one raises a question so maybe I'm missing something.
