Didn't She have to win big to even still have a chance?

[fenriswolf]

I mean yeah it looks like hillary might win by 1-4% in three states, but c'mon thats a one delegate differance. Wasn't their a statistic floating around that said she had to win by 65% of the rest of the primaries to win on "pledged delegates" if the projections are true she is still going to be way behind and still should drop out. I stated earlier that by now, if you are actually a democrate and not a power hungry madman then by tonight whoever has the most delegates should be our candidate so that they could get the required number of delegates and have a mandate. If hillary doesnt pull ahead of the delegates tonight then she is planning on a brokered convention, which would be about the only way McCain could win. Who wants that?

[grantcart]

1. yes

[Zynx]

2. It's nearly 20% in RI and looks like maybe 12-14% in OH.

Texas is still up in the air.

[grantcart]

3. right now she is up exactly 8 delegates

Obama is picking up 2 super delegates a day including today.

[Life Long Dem]

4. She had to win both states by 65%

[mudesi]

5. Yes, but don't think the Clinton supporters will understand that (nm)

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. it's her last hurrah, let her enjoy it

tomorrow reality will set in.

[JCMach1]

7. She did win big

[sandnsea]

8. Yes but the biased media isn't telling you that n/t

[FrenchieCat]

9. That was yesterday.....

Today is another ballgame.

It will depend on Tx and what the media decides they want to do.

It is not up to us anymore....and Hillary doesn't have a shred of principle in her entire body.

[DJ13]

10. Who wants that?

No one who really wants a Democrat elected this November wants that.

Anyone who says they do is putting Hillary above the Party.

[RockyTorres]

11. She is winning Ohio big

[AZBlue]

15. No, she'll wind up 14-16% ahead.

About 50% lower than the minimum she needed. Not big.

[Sir Jeffrey]

20. She won't even pull that much...

look at what numbers are still outstanding. I'd be surprised if she was above 10%.

But yes, she needed to pull about 65% to make up some ground.

[AZBlue]

26. You're right.

I was being too generous.

[Coexist]

21. she's not even that far ahead now, and the big urban areas haven't finished reporting

word last week was she needed +20%

[Renew Deal]

12. She needed 58% in every state remaining including VT.

She will have fallen behind overall.

[jgraz]

13. She's managed to slouch her way into the spin zone

She's gonna stick to this race like a dog turd on a sneaker.

[JVS]

14. yes.

So now we have another non-decisive day like Supertuesday was. Time for more division and negativity, :thumbsup:

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Yes, you get a price for paying attention

:-)

[fenriswolf]

17. whats my price?

hope it was only "my two cents"

[bilgewaterbill]

27. I'm so broke I CAN'T pay attention!

[tekisui]

18. She can admit a lose tonight or at the Convention.

It's her choice.

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. He lost.

[fenriswolf]

23. lost his lead by about 10 points, and that will change tommorow w/ the superdelegates.

[The_Casual_Observer]

25. He lost.

[AZBlue]

29. Do you realize that 2 or 3 states, narrowly won, don't get you a nomination?

Or is that what's confusing you?

[The_Casual_Observer]

32. He lost. No confusion.

[fenriswolf]

36. you are being purposfully stupid and its only embarresing you

he lost nothing, she is losing her chance to bow out gracefully, She has to WIN big in order to win the primary with a mandate. if she continues it will be a brokered convention and she will never pull ahead of barack in delegates. She went further back tonight, not forward.

[AZBlue]

37. Lost Ohio? Sure. Lost Rhode Island. Yes. Lost the nom?

No, that's Clinton.

[Yossariant]

22. Only if ya can't count.. A candidate needs 2025 delegates. That is the RULE.

Just like the RULE that keeps the FL and MI primaries from counting.

She's in it to win it.

[fenriswolf]

24. she's in it to break the party.

[Yossariant]

41. If that's how you feel, you should encourage Obama to drop out.

[Benhurst]

34. You've got to win big in dependable Blue states such as

Utah and South Carolina to be taken seriously.

[milkyway]

28. Yes, but don't tell delusional Hillary. She thinks she won tonight, only she'll wake up

to find she netted only a few delegates, if any at all. And with Wyoming and Mississippi coming up in the next 7 days, and only two large states left--PA and NC--there's hardly any delegates left to gain. It's over, but let her enjoy herself for tonight. Reality is waiting in the morning.

[surfin]

30. Just wait, she could end up with less delegates

She will really win nothing. Need to see how many delegates they have at the end. Models showing she may win Tx but he wins the most delegates.

[LittleClarkie]

31. And she went from a sizable lead in both states to what looks like a squeaker in TX

Ohio panned out for her, but I think Texas was supposed to be hers as well. But it seems as soon as Obama campaigns somewhere, he gains on her.

[Beausoir]

33. No. Your tired old spin has lost its luster. She won tonight and she's only going to get stronger.

In it to win.

Win we shall.

[fenriswolf]

38. its not spin, its very simple. she has to get a certain number of delegates

to win. Barack still has a sizeable win and the race is almost over, if she stays in she will cause a brokered convention where she will be coming into it in second place.

[Beausoir]

39. Once again, you Obamanoids are counting chickens before they hatch. Tonight should have taught you

a big lesson.

[fenriswolf]

40. listen im a hesitant obama supporter

I care more about kucinich's race tonight then this one. but i do know that hillary lost tonight because she didnt make up a whole lot, she is playing catch up to obama, a slight win tonight is a big lose for her.

example, your running a race, youve been steadily looses a foot every 5 seconds, 3/5 of the way through you start gaining an inch every 5 seconds, will you win the race?

[Wetzelbill]

35. yeah basically

Her only hope is that superdelegates go her way. She could win out the rest of the primaries and she'll still be a behind. The way it's set up he still picks up delegates, so it's tough for her to make significant headway like that.

[Thepricebreaker]

42. She won states, but only has a net gain of 20.. she is still down 150....

[fenriswolf]

43. kick
