Reality Check for Obama and Clinton
Reality Check Number 2

I went to the CNN delegate counter and put in these unlikely percents for Clinton along with tonight results as they were just after 11 eastern.

Obama gets 54% in NC

Clinton wins with 56% in Indiana

The rest I gave to Clinton with the various percents even though she is unlikely to win the rest:

WV: 60%

OR: 54% (a likely Obama win)

KY: 60%

SD: 56% (a likely Obama win)

MT: 56% (a likely Obama win)

PR: 60%

The rest of the Super Delegates: 55%

Result: Obama 2,101, Clinton 2,004 even with the unrealistic numbers, Obama passes the 2025 mark and wins my 97 delegates.

Try it yourself:

Don’t flame me, just pointing out the numbers. Flame CNN if you want.

1. no...no...no....
Delegates don't count anymore
Popular Votes don't count anymore
SD's don't count either.


It's back to bowling average. And if a candidate gets three strikes in a row, it's an automatic winner*.
*Lanny Davis added that last rule.

2. That was yesterday....
Since Clinton bowled a strike on Ellen, they changed it to number of shots downed in 1 minute.

Gutterballs are do-overs. And everything starts over again.
