3. If Clinton wants a recount in Missouri will she have the money to cover the fees? |
|
Last I heard at DKOS she was thought o have about 10 million, I think she raised under 15 in January. So faced with Obama's 30+million and manhy states still to run ads and expenses I would wonder if she would spend the money in Missouri on a recount?

5. Why on earth would she want a recount? |
|
All of this nonsense comes from Keith's quoting Missouri law that the results might be eligible for a recount. He never said that the Clinton campaign wanted one; in fact he was careful to say that nothing about a recount came from the campaign. It was just a point of information.
Besides, it's not winner-take-all; it would be stupid to demand a recount, even if the law says it's possible.
As for DKos, I don't know where they get the $10 mllion figure. Link?

6. State wide recounts are very unlikely |
|
there is no percentage in "winning" MO by 5000 or by losing by 5000.
Individual precincts and districts is another matter. If Obama or Clinton lose by a few dozen or so votes, maybe even up to a few hundred... then a recount might be asked for...
It's all about delegates.

98% tallied. 117 separates Clinton from the snapping jaws of Obama:

Let's not be so quick to use that accusation. "Snapping jaws" would conjure images of a hungry hunter hot on the heels of prey such as a shark, wolf or lion. Sen. Obama's campaign as it is today may indeed be likened to such a powerful creature.
Like he said today, though, that powerful creature is really us. We are the voters who are making this contest happen.
