Nathan Tyree: Hillary

Hillary Clinton is in very bad shape. So bad, in fact, that this may well be the beginning of the end for her campaign. She’s down in everything that counts: Out of money, lacking in the perception of momentum, behind in delegates, behind in states won, behind in votes won, and losing favor with the so called “super delegates”. She’s made a last minute change in her campaign staff and her strategy, which can only be viewed as a sign of weakness. She has started going negative and hostile herself, instead of leaving that sort of thing to her representatives, which must also be viewed as a sign of weakness. The political press is reporting that Super Delegates that had once stated a preference for her are changing their minds. And, worst of all, she is making the claim that Michigan (where she was the only candidate on the ballot) and Florida (where she was the only candidate to break the pledge not to campaign)should be counted. It’s a bit like being a basketball team that is losing because the other team makes a lot of three pointers and then claiming that those shots from beyond the three point line should only count as two points anyway. You can’t change the rules midway through the game because you’re losing.

Today is going to go quite well for Obama.
