KNOW THIS: It is not over!

Does this campaign feel like Terminator 2 to anyone? Hillary Clinton is not done yet. Barack Obama has not won yet. And she has every right to continue to campaign because she has not lost yet. We do not have 2025 delegates.
We are too comfortable in our little world of counting super delegates right now. We are too damn comfortable. These are the Clintons we're talking about . We gotta wake up people becasue this is just not over.
What if we lose West Virginia by 40? Then Kentucky by 40? What if we also lost Oregon? What if we lose Montana, South Dakota and Puerto Rico too? Well, we'd still likely prevail, but the side effects would be painful. Side effects, you say?
- Senator Clinton declaring that she's going to the convention because she won 8 of the last 9 states.
- Senator Clinton demanding the VP slot before conceding because she "finished strongest among white voters".
- This is the worst ---> Clinton stacks up some cheap pledged delegates in the next three weeks then suspends her campaign in June. But then Rev. Wright pops up in August so 50 super delegates freak out and change sides at the convention. We need every last pledged delegate! Clinton is hanging around to accumulated delegates for a good reason.
- Howard Wolfson's face on my TV for 1 more minute than it needs to be.
Let's finish this thing strong. The status quo does not die on the vine - it must be killed completely.
Live in Northern Cal? Washington? Idaho? Then Volunteer in Oregon.
Live in NC, Virginia, Ohio? Volunteer in West Virginia.
Live Anywhere? Make Calls for Barack Obama
Let's not be next in this line of choaking:
Bottom of the 9th inning. 2 outs. Nobody on. Up 5-3. They LOST.
Kick a 47 yard field goal? Easy right? Not really.
Change. The. World.
(Request for a rec because we're too damn comfortable right now.)
