Civil War

From Kos...

First of all, the only path to victory for Clinton is via coup by super delegate.

She knows this. That's why there's all the talk about poaching pledged delegates and spinning uncertainty around Michigan and Florida, and laying the case for super delegates to discard the popular will and stage a coup.

Yet a coup by super delegate would sunder the party in civil war.

Clinton knows this, it's her only path to victory, and she doesn't care. She is willing -- nay, eager to split the party apart in her mad pursuit of power.

The inflammatory rhetoric coming from Kos and some other Obama supporters is not helpful.

The supers are very unlikely to hand the nomination to Clinton, unless some scandal emerges that makes clear that Obama has zero chance to win the general.

The point is that Clinton has nearly a zero chance to overtake Obama in pledged delegates or popular vote. Her only option is the sway the super delegates (and the only way to do that is to tear down Obama).

Clinton does not seem to have much of a chance, however, as long as there are people out there who support her, she should stay in. Keep it positive, but keep it democratic also.

Vote Fallon!

You do have a point, while there is a bit of a rift, caused mostly by the media, There are more and more people registering democrat and caring more about the race and it is harder and harder for McCain to stay on the front page of the news.
