- gsxrjason, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3She has actually started defending Obama. No need for her to spin, we just need to focus on why McCain is wrong for America.
- FrostedMiniPete, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0Jason's right, she's done spinning and understands her chances.

- goodnrg, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3I think the Clinton campaign's "last spin" is that they will win the popular vote if you count all her votes in Michigan and zero for Obama, since he wasn't on the ballot, all the votes in Florida where they didn't campaign, ignore the representative popular vote in the caucus states, and count all the votes in Puerto Rico, where they can't even vote in the general. With such a strong argument, no doubt all the supers and pledged delegates will have second thoughts and come running to Clinton.
- Gemfinder, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2Since Barack wasn't on the ballot, therefore indicating a skewed (if not rigged) election, then on that virtue alone the results of that election will be declared null and void. Her only remedy is to call for a re-vote.
Which personally I think is fine. Bring it, let's do it and settle the question once and for all.

2025 delegates are needed to obtain the Democrat's nomination. Neither candidate will reach that amount until the unpledged delegates give their official vote at the convention.
