1. Yes. If He does not win, he will no longer be viable.

24. I do know that the Obama campaign is pimping that, though the numbers are still
not settled. Combined with the fact that Hillary won the "popular vote" in NV, Obama's expecatations of a win in SC, and the fact that Hillary wins the raw numbers, which is what will matter in the future primaries. ..... Yes, Obama will not be viable if he loses SC.

25. No, the M$M is pimping it. Apparently the districts are broken down to their
congressional districts, so there is a weight factor.

Take it up with Nevada, not me!

:hi:

7. She does seem to be doing very well. But, I hope both
Obama and Edwards hang in there to the very end.

8. Stop counting MICHIGAN!! It is an insult to those of us from the state!
The primary was not valid, so stop pretending that it was!!

23. Indeed. And Obama won Nevada. Hillary has NH and the Superdelegates currently
on her payroll.

12. Michigan didn't count
Uncontested with no delegates

40% showed up to vote Uncommitted (I was one of them) just to say Not Hillary!!!

51% in an uncontested race without delegates is an embarassment, not a win

20. Well, you might tell the whole truth if you're going to even bother to post
How did Edwards and Obama tell their supporters to vote? Hmmmmm?

They told them to vote UNCOMMITTED.

So, one could just as easily say that the UNCOMMITTED vote should be split in some fashion between the other two candidates.

But that doesn't suit your purposes, is that it?

6. No, if he continues to win closely - especially if he gets more delegates each time.
I think it's pretty bogus to call this a Clinton win if Obama got more delegates. Guess that's just me.

9. If Democrats had "Winner Take All" primaries like Republicans do...
... then, yes, of course.

But since we don't, anyone thinking he should leave the race if he lost South Carolina is going to have to show their math.

10. Well, since Obama won the delegate count in NV (which is the only win that matters)
I'd say he's doing fine for this stage of the game.

We'll see how Super Tuesday goes...

14. No
I think honestly that Edwards needs to win to be a credible candidate. For Hillary and Obama, it's all about February 5.

16. Stop insulting the residents of Michigan and amend your title.
She did not win Michigan. The primary in Michigan was useless.
