Long article with excellent points which go into several of Hillary's problems with the math and even her reputation moving forward. There is also a quick poll at the end of the article on who would better against John McCain.

Good article I think this quote is particularly apropos:

Still, it's sad to see dumbasses willing to vote a sour grapes ticket. Any Democratic voter who believes McCain would be better than Obama is a brand-new kind of stupid. But it also seems to be an irrelevant kind of stupid.

Pretty bluntly stated in that quote you posted from the article, but it's the truth. Their many truths in that article. People need to vote based upon their wallet and not their emotions! McCain will do NOTHING for Democrats and their issues and people need to think long and hard about their decision especially since McCain has not indicated any change from the Bush policies. Bush put us in a pretty big hole and McCain is going to continue digging a deeper and deeper hole.

I agree and don't understand why many of Hillary's supporters find backing Obama such a huge deal unless it is ground in something else. Obama and Hillary are not far from each others issues. McCain however is very far from both of them. I also heard on one of the news channels that Hillary and her idea about popular votes doesn't make sense as they don''t count the popular votes so it was said how does she know she has more popular votes.

By adding the votes for each candidate from the parties count in all states just as they have done for decades in every election and primary.You can't do math if you can't find the numbers it takes to do it;hope this helps you.
