When is Hillary going to cut Obama's lead? Obama's lead is currently the largest it has ever been

[TAWS]

After the Iowa delegate changes, Obama's total delegate lead is now +132 from RCP.

Sorry Hillary, but if you are going to have any chance, you might want to start reducing Obama's lead at the very least.

[MannyGoldstein]

1. What Is It With Obama People And Having The Lead?

What's all this about having more delegates, more votes, and more states? So what? Big f'n deal. Since when should that determine anything? All this "majority rules" crap is really pissing me off.

:grr:

[peacebird]

3. LOL! Of course it is - since it isn't HRC in the lead! LOL!

[Adelante]

4. HAHA

:D

[George_Bonanza]

7. Better to have more than fewer

[my3boyz]

16. Who cares if it is pissing you off? It is your fault if you can't handle the truth! nt

[Political Heretic]

22. lol yeah what's with the obama people and all this winning bullshit....

... :P

[AZBlue]

36. You ARE kidding, right? You DID forget the sarcasm tag?

Or do you really not realize that the person with the most delegates wins and that's what the primaries are ALL about? Nah, no one could be that stupid.

[MannyGoldstein]

47. Yes, You Busted Me

It's sarcasm. But the real Clinton posts aren't that much different, are they?

[Nitrogenica]

2. Thus, go negative, right, because that's the "only way".....

...and that sucks.

[rug]

5. April 22.

[TAWS]

6. So it'll take her 4 and a half months to finally reduce Obama's lead?

And some people seriously think she has a shot?

[rug]

10. Yes, TAWS, it will take her four and one half months.

And people say Obama has math on his side.

[bigbrother05]

32. She's just getting started

:sarcasm:

[papau]

12. Seems right

[anigbrowl]

14. Shouldn't she have done so today?

Seems like about half of John Edwards' delegates decided that since he's out they were going to switch their support to Obama. Why didn't Hillary pick up any of their votes?

I guess maybe she's ready on day 113...and not before!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. Ready to fold is more like it.

[papau]

33. 7 out of 14 - yep - that is half

[anigbrowl]

39. Half that went to Obama...Update 10!

Looks like 8 Edwards' delegates + 1 from Clinton went for Obama today, for a net of 10.

[anigbrowl]

40. Yeah, but the other half are still with Edwards. Not Clinton.

[Political Heretic]

23. April 22 for what? For him to still have the most pledged delegates, the popular vote

, the most states won.... ?

[rug]

25. To cut the lead. Wasn't that the question? You sound like a robocall.

[Political Heretic]

44. I guess my question would be, what difference does it make?

[slick8790]

24. You know there's only 188 delegates there.

And she'd have to pick up nearly all of them to overtake him.

[rug]

27. I do. Aprill 22 is not to overtake. That date is June 1.

[TahitiNut]

35. April 22 is Hillary's "light at the end of the tunnel"??

Uh-huh. :eyes:

[rug]

41. No, it's her Tet.

[jefferson_dem]

8. Look at it this way, all Hillary has to do is win every single one of PA's pledged delegates...

and they would be about even before he takes the lead again in IN, NC, and OR.

According to Chuck Todd, Obama is ahead by 155 PDs now.

Pledged Count: Obama leads 1,407-1,252
Superdelegates: Clinton leads 253-217
OVERALL TOTAL: Obama leads 1,624-1,505

[MannyGoldstein]

9. She'll Take MORE Than 100% Of PA's Delegates

Bill's working it out right now, with a "businessman" from Tajikistan.

[Arugula Latte]

19. Can't wait to bring Oregon home for Obama ... Finally!

:bounce:

[goclark]

11. But she is planning the revotes in MI and FL

and for sure she will get those states.

So, won't she be ahead?

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. Not so sure that she'll get those states, actually...

Obama would be very competitive in Michigan, and with campaigning can probably pull out a win in a revote. And Florida would probably go in the neighbourhood of 55/45 for Clinton, which won't give her enough delegates or votes to matter a damn. (Remember, she only got 55% vs 'uncommitted' in Michigan; there's no reason to expect she'll do better this time around.)

[Upton]

15. Don't you remember ? Obama's delegates don't count

Mark Penn revealed this in his latest conference call.

[shenmue]

18. It's called Pennsylvania. And Florida, although the DNC is struggling to keep it from being counted.

You want to know why? Because she'll win. And you can only win if you keep people out.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. She can't win enough delegates in PA and FL is out of the picture because of their OWN state party.

Dream on!

[XemaSab]

26. If she got 65% of the vote in Pennsylvania

she would narrow Obama's lead by 48 delegates.

Not nearly enough to close that gap.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. And she'll never get that high here.

[Tellurian]

21. A better question is if Obama is so strong, he could have closed the deal on March 4th.. He didn't!

So, it's April 22nd.

[Bullet1987]

28. And if she was inevitable, why couldn't she seal the deal on Super Tuesday?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Exactly.

[Tellurian]

37. Hillary's goal was simple. Show enough strength to break Obama's momentum..

Hillary easily accomplished her goal. Obama faltered when he should have surged.

[anigbrowl]

43. On Super Tuesday? Where he went on to win 11 in a row?

I thought she said it was going to be over on Super Tuesday.

[Tellurian]

46. Didn't help him close the deal though, did it?

[Recursion]

31. He did close the deal

Senator Clinton seems to prefer humiliating herself for months over admitting that.

[Tellurian]

34. No he didn't.. he failed to win the Nomination..

If the deal were closed, he would now be the nominee. He continues to struggle...

[MannyGoldstein]

38. You Tell 'Em, Cujo!

It's not about who has the most delegates, votes, and states. It's not about who is statistically uncatchable. It's about who throws the biggest fucking kitchen sink!

[Tellurian]

45. I guess the Goldstein household is celebraling solo..

Now don't anyone spoil this for poor Manny!

[anigbrowl]

42. Bwahahahaha!
