Well, my predictions here about the last major primaries turned out to be pretty good (especially the bit about the crotch grenade). So, I thought I'd venture a prediction about Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary.
I think the "bitter" controversy and Obama's debate performance really stalled his momentum. Given that most of the "undecideds" are demographically favorable to Hillary--I'm guessing that they are going to break for her 65/35--that stall is going to prove decisive.
Unfortunately, I think Hillary wins by 12 points.
What do y'all think?

But fingers crossed for Obama!
Now where was I? Oh yeah: stay outta my booze!
I'll even put a stake in the ground futher, Obama's gonna sweep the May 6th primaries in NC and IN, with a blowout in NC (nearly 20 point), and a squeaker in IN (1-4 point).
If that happens, Obama will have crossed the point where it's mathematically impossible for Hillary to catch him in the pledged delegates, and then we'll see lots of superdelegates committing to Obama.
I doubt Hillary will stop campaigning until Obama goes well past the 2024 mark with delegates (pledged + supers publicly committed). Probably she'll wait until he's past the margin where MI & FL delegates wouldn't change anything.
Part of me thinks Jon Stewart is right, she'll be at Obama's inauguration waving a sign saying "Hillary for Pres: IT'S NOT OVER!"
the same mechanism by which they will fall for Obama's
Change does not come with a candidate, it comes with disruption of the current paradigm.....unfortunately, most are willing to continue sleeping soundly-
lessseee, who would make a good president???........
Nobody can fix things and make them righteous for everyone
Nobody can provide reasonable health care for everyone
Nobody can stop the runaway freight of the Military Industrial Complex
Nobody can insure basic rights to all peoples
Nobody can repair the damage done for the last 60+ years by the Education system in the U.S.
Nobody can insure fairness in the corporate mechanism
Nobody, and I mean Nobody, can do a goddamn thing about the deficit....
So, guess who gets my vote????
I've got Edwards by 10%. And, Romney's a lock on the republican side.

Dan Quayle?
I agree that it is the masses who must force the paradigm shift, hence my avatar, but I do think a dynamic leader can give us the inspiration and institutional support we need to do so. Obama might be just the guy to do it. He has yet to be beaten down and broken by the system like McCain and the Clintons, so for the moment I'm going to indulge in hope over fear.
I think the internet is already changing the paradigm and inflicting some serious wounds on the mass brainwashing tool the is television. The internet allows us to speak freely in large numbers and to reject bullshit when we see it. In our own small way, even we here on videosift are creating our own programming, not based on ad revenue, institutional pressure or corporate profits, but rather our own values.

This is not a war between candidates simply but a war between two very different schools of political thought, old and new. The old way is Rovian and Hillary, partisan and divided, while Obama is trying for something more uniting. So far I feel he is the only candidate that dares to speak the truth, he needs to do that more. His last debate was exhausting and he was not in his best form, I think hes not used to fighting out in the gutter like Hillary is.
Hillary by 3, but stick a fork in her she's done. Slamming Moveon? Reeall smart.
That in particular has me infuriated. Doesn't she remember that MoveOn.org was originally "Censure, and Move On", a group dedicated to trying to defend President Clinton from the vast right wing conspiracy's attempt to impeach him?
how many ways can she be called the absolute evil cunt that she is???
