2. Hard to say. I doubt that McCain would win if running unopposed.

4. uhh, check your math
it's nice to win state totals and all, but those are meaningless. This isn't the GE.

It's all about the delegates...

RI +3 for Hillary
VT +3 for Obama

OH +5 to +9 for Hillary
TX +10 to +12 for Obama (even if he loses the primary!) :wow:

But we won't know for sure for at least several DAYS.

Best case for Hillary -1 for the day.
Best case for Obama +7 for the day.

Hillary's best case is that she is only 1 delegate FURTHER BEHIND after today. Even "winning" OH and TX.

11. Really, because Obama won more delegates today than Hillary did.
RI +3 for Hillary
VT +3 for Obama

OH +5 to +9 for Hillary
TX +10 to +12 for Obama (even if he loses the primary!) :wow:

But we won't know the margin for sure for at least several DAYS.

Best case for Hillary -1 for the day.
Best case for Obama +7 for the day.

14. You on some drugs there?
"you may THINK you're ahead"...

Yeah, just about every news organization AND the Democratic party says Obama is currently ahead, in both pledged delegates and total delegates.

So yeah, I think Obama is ahead. (lets not make this about ME... I'm not running for office).

and Obama won more delegates today than Hillary did. Maybe only 1 or maybe as much as 7, but it's MORE.

So how will Hillary come out on top in the end?

With every primary that passes there are fewer and fewer delegates to win. And the rules are such (pesky rules) that it's very difficult for a candidate that's behind 150 or more to make up ground.

After a day or so, reality will set in with you (I hope).

Obama goes to the convention with at least a 150 delegate lead... maybe 180.

Even a big win in Pennsylvania now won't change this. (Unless you think Hillary will win by what, 80 to 20?) Hillary won Ohio by something like 12 to 14 percent, and "won" Texas by 2 percent, maybe 2.5%. That doesn't bode well for her campaign.

She can win every primary from here on out by 58 to 42 and still not come close to Obama in pledged delegates. And that's not happening.

16. I guess you keep repeating that over and over
because you need to convince yourself that it's true.
