My point was merely that I wasn't going to allow myself the same level of confidence in Obama's recent victories until after Wisconsin. Wisconsin's demographics and the fact that it is a primary, coupled with the fact that I've yet to see good numbers that Obama has overcome Clinton's early lead, cause me to be a little guarded. There, a victory--especially a sizable one--would certainly indicate that Clinton's days are numbered. Then, I might rest a little easier that the super delegates won't break her way and giver her the nomination in a close race.

Clancy, why would a win in Wisconsin and/or Hawaii next week change your mind. If you think Hillary can still get the votes, good luck. She's toast that's fallen on the floor, buttered side down. She's the mess we need to clean up before we take on McCain. D.

I'm a big time Barack supporter, and while optimistic about his chances now, to claim that Hillary is "toast" or mathematically eliminated (as you have claimed in an earlier post) seems more than a little premature.
Given the particulars of caucus/state convention delegate math (where many of the delegates from caucus states have not technically been pledged to anyone yet), and the proportional allocation of delegates in the remaining states, the same argument could easily be made for Obama as for Clinton . . . especially if she recovers in Texas and Ohio and succeeds in getting MI & FL delegations seated at the convention. Neither of these seems so far fetched to me at this time, though I might feel differently in Obama wins handily in WI next week.
Now here's dull as owl shit. She's got nothing left... She's starting to look and sound like an old fish wife... from days gone by. She's got shock in her eyes and ice in her veins... She's pretty embarassing... this I'm tested and ready to assume office on day one. If that's all she's got to offer, she's toast. D.
