Rick "I lost by 18 points" Santorum offers campaign advice:
The vast majority of the people at the meeting and in the conservative movement will vote for McCain. I will. But will the people who make up the backbone of the get-out-the vote effort go to work for him?
Only if he demonstrates that his vaunted pragmatism and open-mindedness will lead him to different positions on some issues.

Doesn't talking like Genhgis Khan count for anything with these conservatives?

What Next in Democratic Primaries?
With Barack Obama's win in Mississippi he now leads Hillary Clinton in pledged delegates 1411 to 1250. So the question arises, can Hillary Clinton catch up with Obama if she wins Pennsylvania, Indiana and Puerto Rico? A total of 272 delegates (not counting super delegates) are in play.
Assuming that Hillary Clinton wins all three primaries and delegates are allocated by same margin as in Ohio (Hillary's 75 to Barack's 66), she will gain 144 delegates to Barack's 128. This will bring her total pledged delegates to 1394 compared to Barack's 1539, so she will still be behind by 145 delegates. There still remain other states like North Carolina, where Barack is expected to win with a large margin.
If the democratic Party is seriously interested in taking back the White House, isn't it time for it to put some sense into the Clintons and tell them this is beyond their reach. Intrigue, insult and large state argument will not win her the nomination. It is the number of delegates that counts at the end of the day. McCain is out fund raising and consolidating while Democrats are still fighting it out.
Isn't there anyone in charge of the Democratic Party who can say enough is enough and tell Hillary to fold her tent gracefully?
