Jeffrey Toobin of Best Political Team On CNN, “ITS OVER”
Of today’s 19 to 8 vote by the Democratic Party Rules Committee to only give the Michigan Delegates one half votes, he says many of those 19 votes were from Clinton supporters on the committee and that is the signal that it is over.
Additionally, there are only three days to get past the final primaries on June 3 and that the call by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to all the SuperDelegates to place their markers down right after that and indicate who they plan to vote for at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August, does seem to seal Hillary’s long shot continuing campaign because she “is the best candidate”.
He allows for no possibility that there remains a Hail Mary chance for Hillary as president. He did not opine at the same time about the Vice Presidential nomination.
Robert Wexler told Wolf blitzer that an Obama/Clinton ticket would be a very exciting ticket but that would be up to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Toobin also said that Howard Dean is to be congratulated for unifying the party and that the Rules Committee Co Chairmen, Jame Roosevelt and Alexa Herman were to be congratulated for pulling together a very unruly committee which contained a majority of Clinton supporters.

I wasn’t aware that CNN had a crack political team. I do like Jeffrey Toobin but, frankly, I’m surprised he’s still employed by CNN. They’re flusing out their real journalists and hiring pretty little talking heads. I don’t much trust them anymore (they are now the mainstream media, unlike when Dubya’s dad pummeled Iraq), although I don’t doubt that Hillary cannot possibly win at this point.
