Obama will go to the convention with more states won, more pledged delegates, and more popular votes

What's Hillary's golden tiebreaker that can overcome such losses? And remember, it has to be in the spirit of democracy, so no wining-and-dining superdelegates.

1. Theres still about 20 more states to go.

The election isn't over, and she could win the majority of those.

2. Not unless she wins big on March 4th -- that is a fact!

the longer Obama is in this race the better, the more popular, and the more wins he gets, as everyone has seen through every poll. So March 4th can't get here any quicker because the Obominator is coming for her.

3. statistically Obama will likely win the majority of those remaining 20

...this is why she is focusing on the few with the largest delegate count.

4. If more popular votes incl Mich/Fl - then he will have my support - but I don't see it happening

6. Michigan can't possibly count, I live there trust me

She was the only viable candidate on the ballot and she still only got 51%. 40% voted Uncommitted just to voice their opposition to Hillary.


There is serious talk about a Caucus to replace the previous vote that didn't count. Face it, if we do hold a caucus then Barack will win easily.

9. According to what I heard last night on TV, he already has lead in the popular vote even with MI/FL

And that's with Obama getting zero votes for MI!

10. Actually Obama would likely get a fair number of delegates out of Michigan and Florida.

He would likely get a large proportion of the "uncommitted" delegates in Michigan and he would get delegates by proportional representation from Florida.

So even if Obama loses a couple of the remaining primaries but gets at least 40% he probably still has more delegates going into the convention. And he may do much better thatn that. I think he well might win two of three of Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

5. No Wine and Dine. Cronyism trumps dinner out, just give away positions in her administration

Who wouldn't vote for her if it gets you a job running FEMA or something.

Maybe an ambassadorship, to a nice country where they have lots of food, dress nice and speak english. (That is from an old SNL skit, please don't take offense)

7. i'm still hoping for a back room deal

that would be the best....

8. He won't go there with Ohio.
