Congrats on your +10 delegate pickup tonight, Mrs. Clinton.....

Obama will pick up more than that in Superdelegates in the next 72 hours.


Clinton batted in the bottom of the 8th inning, down by 12 runs... and she hit a grand slam. She's now down by 8 runs and has only one inning left...

....and it's starting to rain.

28 delegates.... 5 electoral votes.


States don't get more meaningless than West "by God" Virginia.

that thanks to Obama we will have 4 years of McCain.

Facts are funny things.

:eyes:

OK, not in area, but in population. In fact, we are twice as big.

Is Illinois not a big state? It's ranked number five. Here's the list and the ranking from the 2000 Census in case you're a little fuzzy on this.

So, to recap:

North Carolina, with 8 million votes, doesn't matter.

West Virginia, with 1.8 million votes, is huge!

Is that about it?

Yes, I agree

I suppose you mean there is no viable Democratic candidate.

It's lights out for the pitty party.

Why is everyone trumpeting this? Everyone knew these were going to be the numbers months ago. WV was a done deal, and, while it certainly "counts" it doesn't mean anything.

Just like KY won't mean anything

Just like PR won't mean anything

OR, OTOH might well mean something if Clinton can take it!!! Or if she can nab both of the final states.

But if she only pulls off WV, KY and PR, there's nothing to see here.

...he's apparently a bit worse in math.

And that's REALLY saying something. :)

tomorrow with 6-10 supers, ready for a climatic deluge on May 20 or 21. Obama will not be made to fight for delegates in Puerto Rico. The plug will be pulled on Clinton next week.
