Delegate allocation: Obama 94; Clinton 75

With these states not being winner-take-all Obama certainly appears to be the big winner from yesterday's primaries.

Again, it'll come down to the money. Does she have the funding to go on?

4. Thanks.

I just did a quick look at http://abcnews.go.com/politics/elections/state?state=NC&ref=ipb

In any case, Obama picked up quite a few more delegates than Clinton.

3. If it were winner take all, he'd get 115 and she'd get 72

Maybe he should hold a press conference to whine about it ;-)

6. I'm not awake yet.

What I meant to imply was that no one "wins" a state regardless of how they try to spin it.

Of course, you're right. I wasn't thinking.

8. I think it's a 17 delegate advantage to Obama

I think she gets 37 to his 35 in Indy and she gets 48 to his 67 in NC. That's advantage Obama by 17 delegates.

that not having the money is 5 million reasons why she IS going on.

7. i've read 99 to 85,

but my numbers (from intoxination) are 102 to 85...

my completely uneducated guess is that she won't drop out until around the 20th-ish. in terms of money, i'm seeing some people say she has none to go on, and i'm seeing others saying she needs to go on to pay off her debts. :shrug: i dunno, but she's persistent if anything.

9. Over 15% victory

Numbers show 57.52 - 42.48% in North Carolina. 15.04% margin.

Didn't Zogby say 14% on the last day?
