    Sure, why not?

    And Hillary will be represented by Rodney Harrison, a veteran -- sometimes accused of dirty tricks -- who tries valiantly to knock the ball away, but ultimately fails.

    How come nobody's talking about the mother of all primary battles: Guam?

    Guam going to Obama. Too many military people remember Clintons shutting down bases.
    As for PA -- Clinton by 4 percent.

    How about Virginia? Guarantee you it's in play with Obama on top, along with Mark Warner in the senate seat, and Gerald Connolly turning Tom Davis' Republican House seat into a Democratic House seat. The state senate is already a narrow Democratic majority, and the governor's office is held by a Democrat who was also the first governor to endorse Obama.

    The last time Virginia went Democrat for president was I believe Johnson.

    As part of the "new generation of Democratic voters" (this is only my second Presidential election), I can say with 100 percent certainty that if Obama carries the popular vote, the delegate vote and the most states and loses the nomination because of superdelegates, I won't vote for her.

    In fact, I probably wouldn't vote Democrat for a long time if that happens.

    First time I voted in a primary, because it's the first time I cared enough to shift from independent.

    Voting for delegates almost fooled me. You have to really look to see who's committed for whom; it wasn't as if they were lined up in groups or anything.

    If it's anything like Monday Night Raw last night, I'll say Umaga takes out both candidates and wins on write-ins.

    Obama by 1% and Hillary demands a recount.

    Unless you're like really into Hillary Clinton, I don't know how anyone could support a scenario where the only thing she wins is the supers. And I don't care if "thems the rules that were previously established." Well, just because they were already in place, doesn't make it right. And a lot of people would have every right to be pissed off if he won the most votes and the most delegates and was told "it's not your turn." It would be the perfect rallying cry for every Republican who has ever said to African Americans, "They only care about your votes. They don't care about you." You could have a historical debate about how "the superdelagates this, and superdelgates that," but that kind of hairsplitting ain't gonna play. As Zeke said, she lost this contest awhile ago. She just refuses to accept it. If he were behind like this, the drumbeat for him to get out of the race would be deafening. Her bullshit about how he shouldn't have "gone into San Francisco and said something about PA voters being bitter" was it for me. That's the line. I'm through with her. It gets a little old to hear "well, this is how the game is played. Toughen up, Obama supporter." Maybe part of the reason we have such a pathetic turnout in this country is that we keep excusing bullshit as "This is how the game is played. It was much harsher in my day, btw." Screw that.

    Clinton by five.
