Fun in Philly

Dick Morris says Hillary Clinton can't win the nomination, under any circumstances:

The results are already clear. Obama will go to the Democratic Convention with a lead of between 100 and 200 elected delegates. The remaining question is: What will the superdelegates do then? But is that really a question? Will the leaders of the Democratic Party be complicit in its destruction? Will they really kindle a civil war by denying the nomination to the man who won the most elected delegates? No way. They well understand that to do so would be to throw away the party’s chances of victory and to stigmatize it among African-Americans and young people for the rest of their lives. The Democratic Party took 20 years to recover from the traumas of 1968 and it is not about to trigger a similar bloodletting this year.

This may be true, but the question is how do you get Clinton to drop out? You can't. Forget the hard delegate numbers -- each candidate has a strong case here. Hillary will be able to say she won all the big, important states (and maybe the overall popular vote), and Barack can say he has the highest number of delegates.

Things are not looking pretty for the Democrats.
