I'll Get You, My Pretty...

It's hard to take out a wicked witch. Hell, it took a house to take one out in the Wizard of Oz! Does Obama have a house up his sleeve? Not likely.

While Obama keeps campaigning, Hillary keeps plotting. Again, the key to the Clinton strategy, now that there will not be new primary elections to franchise those disenfranchised by Howard Dean, is superdelegates. ("Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it Superdelegate")

With a presumable strong win in Pennsylvania and a decent win in Indiana, Hillary and her thugs will make a great case for her being a better candidate for the Democrats to take back the White House. Remember how every vote needed to count back in 2000? Not any more.

By "whining" and dining the superdelegates she will make her case that Obama can only win in states that are GOP strongholds anyway and that only she can deliver the states that really matter in a general election.

Check out this spin:

Mark Penn, Mrs Clinton’s chief strategist, said that Mr Obama’s victories in states such as Wyoming and Idaho will be essentially meaningless when it comes to a general election because they are Republican strongholds. Instead, the battlegrounds will be those states such as Ohio and Missouri, where polls suggest that Mrs Clinton has a better chance of victory.

Remember, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.
