He'd win more hypotheticals than Hillary would win -- hypothetically.

6. And if pigs could fly
They would say the Lieberwoman campaign needs to stop whining and follow the rules as she agreed to them in the first place.

7. What is it with Hillary supporters and inability to do math -
Obama is ahead and NC has more delegates than Indiana. Try to add it up, Einstein.

24. And inability to stay on topic.
We aren't writing essays here, bamalib. We are talking about politics and delegates. Try to keep up.

It doesn't matter. The Democratic Party rules call for proportional delegates.

13. Different rules means different games, different strategies. Pointless question.

17. That's just not a logical measure
They won't be competing against one another in the general. Head to head comparisons now are very different from a contest against McCain then.

There's no chance that say, NY or CA will be going GOP, is there?

Notice that Obama fans can't answer that simple question. Just nasty snark.

19. Who cares?
We've let the Clinton campaign get away with proposing bullshit rule changes for long enough.

It's time for us to say: No, it's over.

27. what do you do with the states where there were more than two candidates?
Like Iowa where Hillary came in last.

And changing the rules at the end of the game is unfair.

Obama might have run a different race had that been the measure.
