There is no mathematical way she can win. If the super delegates take the nomination away from the candidate with the most delegates and the most popular vote we will lose in November and the party will be shattered.I hear much conversation about an&amp;quot;October Surprise* in regards to Obama. Who decided the Clinton's were fully vetted? It is oddly quiet on the Republican side about the Clintons. I love Bill Clinton but what has he been up to since he left office?Why won't the Clinton's release the names of his clients??? I think an October surprise could go either way and is still contrary to the wish of the people. Is Obama going to be taking the oath of office while Clinton is still trying to go after him? Howard Dean has already said Michigan and Florida would be seated. At this point I really do not understand what she is trying to achieve. Her grit and tenacity are admirable but she needs to go to work and get her supporters to support the nominee. I do not for a minute believe that Clinton supporters that are Democrats will vote for McCain if she is not the nominee and assume the pundits would talk about the Independents if they had any way to figure it out. An Obama/Clinton ticket would be a disaster. He ran on change and not more Clintons. I sincerely believe it would really hurt his chances as it would make him no different then any other candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
