Obama's problem is that his rhetoric sounds like it is designed to appeal to moderates and independents and this is supposed to bring people together. However the results show that, particularly in the eastern and southern parts of the country, and to an extent also on the West coast, in most states Hillary is winning the more conservative areas.

Hillary is winning the Democrats in more conservative areas. Obama's winning the independents according to all exit polls. Conservative Democrats support Hillary, independents support Obama. Duh.

Look, putting your hands over your ears and screaming, "The race is over, the race is over" is a guaranteed way to lose the race.

Obama still has time to change his stripes and figure out how to take her out for good.  Even regardless of what I said before, I'm willing to give him a good chance (like the others) at winning the general if he figures this out.  We have plenty of time to find out.

Oh course it is, but it's the same strategy Clinton used when she was ahead. To say that only she can win because they both made the same mistake is extraordinarily and unexpectedly short-sighted.

Yes, thats the point.

Everyone talks about how Obama can't end the deal, but Hillary obviously can't either. I love the revisionist history about how last night was Obama's third chance to end it, assuming the second is Super Tuesday. At least Duke doesn't buy into that because before Super Tuesday the only talk was about how HILLARY could've ended it.

Really there's no way for either one to end it now (unless Hillary screws up Pennsylvania big time.) It's going until the last primary (note that I did not say the convention.)
