The Math (or why it's over for HRC)

I'll estimate IN delegates go 37-35 for HRC, NC delegates go 67-48 for Obama.
In order for HRC to prevent Obama from reaching 1618 pledged delegates on May 20th, she must win over 82% of KY's, WV's, and OR's delegates.
In fact, she has to win over 85% of all remaining pledged delegates to overtake Obama's lead by the last primary.
That ain't gonna happen.

Plus her popular vote argument bit the dust today too.

Her only option is the "nuclear option" that will almost certainly backfire that would cost her more delegates than what she would gain from FL and MI.

She needs to come to grips and realize it is over.

1. No math needed, she is beaten...

If she sticks through Oregon, it would simply be hubris. She must suspend campaigning tomorrow.
