Purple Minded comments on the latest the-sky-is-a-fallin' scare tactics from Hillary:
Hillary Clinton has finally figured out that she’s going to lose the Democratic Party nomination to Barack Obama. So it appears that she’s now going after the Republican Party’s slot on the November ballot. At least you’d sure think that’s what she’s up to. Have you seen her latest TV commercial? It’s pure Republican: classic fear-mongering at its best. Somewhere Karl Rove is laughing himself silly. I no longer have any doubts as to outcome of next Tuesday’s primary contests - Hillary is going to lose big, and this will all be over quite soon. How can I be so sure? The Clinton campaign has told me so. It’s evident that they’ve run out of ideas as to how to defeat Obama, and as a last desperate measure they’re adopting the GOP playbook. We’d expect this kind of trash from John McCain in the general election. His entire campaign is based on fear. But from a Democrat, running in a primary? Don’t be afraid of the dark. Turn out the lights, Hillary’s campaign is over.
I guess it's time to run out and buy another box of duct-tape.

Will Hillary Clinton continue if she wins either Texas or Ohio?
While Barack Obama is now leading in opinion polls in Texas, he is still behind in Ohio & Rhode Island. If the last 11 contests are anything to go by, Barack tends to close the gap and go past Hillary in the last few days before the primary.
There is a possibility however that Hillary Clinton could win Ohio. The question arises, does she then fold her tent and go home or does she take this as a signal to keep going. The Clintons are known to be fighters, so chances are she will want to continue thus causing ripples in the Democratic party.
It will then be time for Senators, Members of Congress, Al Gore and other Democratic party elders to step forward and endorse Barack Obama to bring this race to an end. The longer this race goes on the more nasty it will get and that can only help McCain in the general election.
However, if Hillary Clinton wins both Texas and Ohio (which is unlikely) then she will have a case to continue.
It looks like this will be a drawn out process. It'll be exciting for these states who are at the end of the primaries who virtually never get to decide anything, although most probably don't have enough delegates to make much of a difference.
Sad to say, the John McCain As Channeled By Hillary ads worked against Obama. What does that say about us as a nation?
What it says about Hillary, of course, is what we already knew -- that she is a dirty streetfighter who'd just as well gut you as say hello.
What it says about Obama, on the other hand, is that he's succeptible to these kinds of ads by John McCain in the general election. Rather than being a magic Negro, he turned out to be merely human after all.

The duct tape I am using now goes around her mouth and Bill's.
