1. The irony in Sharpton saying this is delicious.

4. There is a difference between Sharpton's 2004 bid and Hillary's.

Sharpton stayed in the race long after he knew he had no chance of winning - damn, he ENTERED the race knowing he had no chance of winning. He knew his candidacy would provide him a platform to discuss issues. He did not put anyone down in the process, but sure made the debates a lot more fun.

Hillary, on the other hand, seems not to be aware that she has lost... that it is over. She looks and sounds delusional, almost pitiful, and would probably save (some) face if she would bow out gracefully (if it is not already too late). I think Sharpton respects the Clintons and may be concerned about her.

5. some people just don't like Sharpton but no one can deny that he is speaking the truth...

some of you feel more comfortable with a different messenger. The reality is still in his words. He is forthright about this situation. She needs to retire the side because she is the only one in the auditorium singer her heart out. Trouble... the auditorium is empty.

9 super delegates for Obama today to 1 for Clinton. People who think she has a chance are waxing nostalgic for the first couple of weeks of the campaign.

7. Background: He's talking to Dominic Carter on NY1, who has been an Obama skeptic from Day 1
