Win And A Prayer
Pennsylvania in hand for Clinton, but an uphill battle remains


...Six exhausting weeks after a historic presidential primary roared into Pennsylvania, voters yesterday chose Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama, but her margin of victory — hovering near 10 percent as of press time — likely didn’t do much to help her fight to earn the Democratic nomination.

...(T)he best Clinton can hope for is for superdelegates to “stay uncommitted and let this thing play out in Indiana, North Carolina and Kentucky.”

According to a Bloomberg analysis, Clinton needed a 25-point win in Pennsylvania and needs 20-point wins in West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico to catch up to Obama in the popular vote...

2. Yeah, but Hillary won American Samoa.
Her delegates still outweigh Obama's by about 600 pounds.

3. I don't understand why the media ignores this
Other than their desire to keep the horserace going, anyway.

4. So... Bloomberg has trouble counting caucuses as well, huh. Aren't they supposed to be "credible"?
Doing a story on the "popular vote" is no different than them doing a story on unicorns.

5. Hillary's "magic number" is now 68% of the vote in ALL the remaining contests
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 02:06 PM by rocknation
if she expects to succeed at getting over with the superdelegates:

37-point or more margin of victory = blowout for Hillary

36 points = victory for Hillary

30 - 35 points = good, but not good enough for Hillary

11 – 29 points = wash for Hillary

5 - 10 points = useless for Hillary

1 - 4 points = concession speech for Hillary
