When a game is called for rain after the 5th but before the 1024th inning. |
|
Who wins?
The team with the most delegates on the board?
Or the team with the most umps in their pocket?
Pretend you're neutral.
Surprisingly, this needs to be pointed out.

Hillary can only mount a comeback (the only way your analogy means anything-- for the losing team to win in the end) if Obama quits the race, making her pledged delegate comeback unnecessary, or to buy off the ump and cheat her way to a win in the last inning.

5. She could win 100% of the remaining delegates, iow, a comeback. |
|
She won't, with a probability of 95%, but she can.
The analogy holds, methinks.

7. She can't win 100% of the delegates because it's impossible for Obama to do that poorly |
|
He would have to be out of the race to get such low percentages to allow her to make a comeback.
