Hildebeast: “From My Cold Dead Hands, Motherfuckers” - With Video
This from Fox’s Aaron Bruns:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind - After a stinging defeat in North Carolina and a close win in Indiana, Hillary Clinton’s path to the nomination has become that much harder tonight. North Carolina represented the last real chance for Clinton to shock the political world with an upset win, or what she herself called a “game changer.” What’s more, both states had large chunks of pledged delegates she needed to start closing the gap; her ability to make up ground in that metric is now severely diminished.
Aides insist that in even their rosiest scenarios, they would still lose North Carolina by 5. But with polls tightening over the last week, the endorsement of popular governor Mike Easley, and a heavy travel schedule in the state, expectations were building for a close contest — and some in the campaign even believed a win was possible.
And in Indiana, while the campaign says they came from behind and overcame the home field advantage Obama enjoyed in his home state’s next door neighbor. But polls over the last two weeks suggested she’d have a bit more breathing room here, instead of sweating out the result well into the night.
So how does the Clinton campaign make the best out of what looks to be a bad situation? Campaign officials say it comes down to demographics. While African Americans, young voters, and the more affluent went for Obama in higher numbers than usual, they say the blue-collar swing voters Democrats need in a general election went even more strongly to her. Those voters, they argue, are far less likely to choose Senator Obama in a match-up with John McCain than the coalition of voters Obama’s amassed.
That’s the case the campaign will be making to superdelegates in the coming weeks. As Major Garrett reports, Team Hillary is laying the foundation for a costly and public post-primary campaign to woo undecided party leaders, to include rallies, direct mail and paid advertisements directed squarely at the superdelegates upon whom their hopes now rest.
They’ll also revive their push to get the delegations from Michigan and Florida seated in full at the Democratic National Convention, a move that would close the pledged delegate gap significantly.
More immediately, Senator Clinton will soldier on. She has a fundraiser in Washington with her mother and daughter on Wednesday, and takes the campaign to three upcoming states on Thursday — stopping in West Virginia, South Dakota, and Oregon.

She’s going to spin up like a Tasmanian devil and then implode into a black hole WHEN Obama wins.
That is going to be great fun to watch. Got the popcorn ready to go.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:22 pmThe only reason she was sweating is Lake County, Indiana. The only county more corrupt than Cook County. Seems to me, everytime there is an election in Cook County, they take boxes of ballots from one location by truck to count them somewhere else. The fact that there were apparently 10 to 20 thousands ballots that needed to be counted in Lake County should give everyone pause. This my friends is the politics BO became of age in. God help us all.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:23 pmThe only good thing to happen would be Rezko gets convicted and starts singing like a bird. But I imagine the media will protect the Messiah from that as well.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:26 pmFor all that I feel against her becoming the next president, I must admire her ability to hang in there tough when many in her own party are asking her to stop. That is the stuff our next president will need to have.
I can’t help but to feel she is still holding back and would like to say what she really thinks, maybe in the closing days of her campaign, she will.
She by far would be a better president than Hussein Obama.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:29 pmYou got to admit, no one predicted this ending LOL.
Then we can move on to reparations.

Hillary looked real mad, betrayed. Her & Bill were his chief supporters in the 70’s. She commented that Keith Schuler from N.C. a conservative House rep gave her his support today when asked about McGovern. Again, her core is turning against her. This has & will continue to have an effect (Positive) on her. She looked determined to continue to the Dem convention. Good for her. People can change for the better.
May 7th, 2008 at 2:17 pmObama bin Lyin endorsed by McGovern - kinda like a dementor’s kiss for his campaign.
May 7th, 2008 at 2:44 pmAt least with Hillary, you know she’s a socialist and a liar so you are up front with that. BO is a closet racist. End of story.
May 7th, 2008 at 3:21 pmThe Clintons loaned the campaign $6+ million today…. on top of the previous huge loan.
May 7th, 2008 at 6:05 pmThat has to go down as the most expensive blow job ever. Course it was to a standing President.
