The next 2-3 weeks will be much about nothing. The score now 1852 to 1695= + 157 Obama with him 173 short of finish line & Hillary 330 short of finish line. In the next 6 primaries they will 'about' split the remaining 200 elected delegates to make score 1952 Obama to 1795 Hillary so he will need only 73 more supers & Hillary 230 out of a pool of 261 undeclared supers. Sure supers can change their minds but the trend is for Hillary supers to switch to Obama....

This would be a great time for all to go on holiday as NOTHING changes the end game..At some point Hillary leaves the race & she has the right to pick the time...Let's all chill out and let this play out...

but these people are not going to chill out. It seems like they love to keep negatives going. Time will eventually declare the nominee and then it will take time to people to deal with acceptance.

"These people" know that Obama has not won this race. He will not get to the magic number needed after the rest of the states vote. We are hopeful that Hillary can win.

Maggie, they are frustrated after a long battle...This thing has lasted about 1.5 years & that is TOO long. So what is another 3 weeks?

The marginal difference in the next 3 weeks will not be much...Obama should win OR, SD & MT and Hillary should win WVA, KY & PR....Each gets about 100 more elected delegates...

Meanwhile Obama will gather more supers & this will be over...

Let the Hillary vent a bit...then there will be a healing perion & all will be fine...THE GE IS 6 MONTHS AWAY & the sooner this becomes the focus the better...

Yeah, when you believe so strongly in your heart that it would happen and it doesn't it is a big let down. This is a way to let it all get out. Then begin a healing process. I don't know about others but I can see the results down the road and it is a victory for the democratic party.

MOB and Maggie, I do not feel let down. Hillary is a winner, no matter what the results. She has proven to be a stronger woman than I could have ever imgained and I respect more now than I did when the race started.

There will always be some haters and trolls.
The true democrats will just need some time to let it go.

I would highly discourage you from referring to the Obama supporters as the only true democrats. It is not helping.

PC, They didn't say BO supportersm they said the true democratics meaning those that are true to the democratic process no matter what. You're adding words to the comments.

"The true democrats will just need some time to let it go".

This is the comment I was responding to and he does refer to true democrats getting behind Obama. What is it that I misunderstood from reelect McKingleys response?

If I looked at that comment I would think they were talking about HRC supporters but that's neither here or there. We're talking about time healing wounds and moving forward. Both candidates have been wounded in the process as well as their supporters but we must let the feelings go and move forward. Time waits for no one.
