<p>I think I read 20-30% mailed in early, but not sure. Having canvassed in a congressional district that was won by Obama, however, I can tell you that there was a lot of genuine commitment to Hillary. So I sure don’t discount that she still has a pretty fervent following. </p>

<p>That’s what I said to someone at a brunch recently: Find out who I am supporting and then pick the other one, because my (presidential) candidate ALWAYS loses! (Well, except for Carter and yes, Clinton!)</p>

<p>If Obama wins, I doubt he’d tap Billary for running mates. Can you imagine Bill as the Vice-pres First Gentleman?</p>

<p>I’m beginning to think politicians have some kind of shelf life. Hilary has been around awhile and so the situation we have now is partly a function of her work . . . Obama is new and we can anticipate what good things he might produce. . .You just can’t make yourself new again past a certain point.</p>

<p>More and more commentators think that Obama is the winning choice for the Democrats, and that the Democratic Party superdelegates will soon rally behind him.</p>
