3. He already did, in Wisconsin.
Everything that's happened since then has just been HRC spinning her wheels.

10. WI was the 10th state in a row that Obama won, if memory serves.
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 02:39 PM by Mooney
It was his unbroken streak of wins, culminating in WI, that are where he got the bulk of his delegate lead. This is the same lead that Hillary Clinton cannot overcome, and it's the same lead that now assures his nomination. If Hillary had bothered to campaign there, or in any of the other non-counting small states that she conceded to Obama in February, she might not be in the situation she's in now. But she decided to write off whole time zones, and now it's bitten her in the ass. This is why she has been backpedalling furiously in an attempt to downplay the importance of pledged delegates in this race --- because she doesn't have enough of them.

When Obama won Wisconsin, the deal was closed. Nothing that's happened since then has changed that.

The deal was closed in February, and Obama closed it.

5. My two favorite spins

Close the deal
He outspent her

Close the deal is like losing a boxing match by being pointed and then actually having the audacity to look at the judges and demand to be declared the winner since the other guy didn't get a KO.

But he outspent me. So Hillary mismanages her campaign so badly that she squanders 200 million dollars. She proves herself to be one of the worst business managers in campaign history; and we should take this as a reason to elect her and give her the Nations purse?

Wow just wow.
