Clinton to Concede Delegate Race Tonight

[lawrnk]

Around the numbers of mickey mouse and he is still in the race.

Eh, I'm not against you. I like Paul in theory 10x more than McCain, even though he makes ridiculous comments every other day. I'm far too conservative to call my self republican. That being said..a vote for Paul is a vote for Obama this election.

"a vote for Paul is a vote for Obama" reminds me of "War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."

But I'm not sure what that has to do with Clinton conceding.

The average 3rd party garned 5.6 percent of the vote. Not sure if you recall the last 2 elections and what 5.6 percent would do? And it is related, since there i speculation of Clinton running 3rd party. I don't expect it, but it is possible.
