Hopefully, it is starting to unravel more and more quickly.

David Sirota points out the outright lies as Clinton tries to back away from NAFTA:

Oh, and I love this (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a7uQqWHrwPek&refer=home):"Bill Clinton has told me personally that Hillary was not in favor of Nafta when it passed,'' Strickland, 66, said on Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital With Al Hunt,'' airing this weekend."Ah, I see. Despite Hillary Clinton's public praise for NAFTA, we are now supposed to believe that no, she really opposed it, because in recent days as Hillary's campaign has tanked, Bill Clinton personally told Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland that behind closed doors she opposed it.

And the superdelegates, as I once predicted here and was defamed over, are now looking at reality (and in many cases a potentially irate constituency) and backing away from Billary:

WASHINGTON — The Democratic superdelegates are starting to follow the voters _ straight to Barack Obama.
In just the past two weeks, more than two dozen of them have climbed aboard his presidential campaign, according to a survey by The Associated Press. At the same time, Hillary Rodham Clinton's are beginning to jump ship, abandoning her for Obama or deciding they now are undecided.
The result: He's narrowing her once-commanding lead among these "superdelegates," the Democratic office holders and party officials who automatically attend the national convention and can vote for whomever they choose.

And, finally, one of the hard-core (and most despised) Clinton Cranks in Maryland, known locally as simply KKT, now concedes the inevitable:

"Townsend said she expects Sen. Barack Obama to win the Democratic presidential nomination and that Clinton is finished. She believed that the Wisconsin results demonstrated that Clinton's coalition (voters over the age of 50 and those earning less than $50,000) had fallen apart. When asked why the Clinton campaign had failed, Ms. Townsend had plenty of opinions and she placed significant blame on Bill Clinton and his racially tinged statements in South Carolina. She also felt that Clinton made a tactical error in making "experience and inevitability" her central campaign themes. Townsend argued that Clinton had little more experience than Obama and far less than candidates such as Senators Dodd and Biden. Additionally, making the inevitability claim hurt her when she lost Iowa... Townsend then lamented Clinton's decision to go negative and question Obama's readiness. She said that she called the Clinton campaign and advised that they 'go out on a high note' but her advice was politely dismissed."

Toast. I hope.
