CNN Live reports from Clinton/Obama Headquarters
Just reporting it as they did.

They first went to Clinton headquarters and it was Candy Crowley (eek) and she said, well, really, not much, really, but that they expect to win NY, expect Obama to win Illinois, etc., looking ahead, she really didn't say much of anything, she kept looking off to the side. :shrug:

Suzanne Malvaux (sp) was at Obama headquarters and she said they are playing down expectations, they know they will win GA (already had), Illinois, but expect to come out 100 delegates down and are looking ahead. :shrug:

Common thread - looking ahead.

1. "Expecting to come out 100 delegates down"

Third or fourth time I've seen that today.

So that's the Point of Pyrrhus* -- Obama only has to get within 100 delegates of Hillary for the press to declare him a winner.

--p!
*Point of Pyrrhus: The point at which a Pyrric victory can be declared by the loser.
