Delegate Math Calculator Shows Hillary is DONE
I am sure most of you know about this great tool at Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2185278/

Hillary needs to win every remaining state 64%-37% to get enough Delegates. There is NO WAY this will happen. Why does she continue to try to destroy the party? Ego? I am losing respect for her quickly.

Play with the calculator Hillary fans and let me know what you think could happen so save her!!!

12. What's she gonna do? Shoot him dead?
I mean if Wright didn't achieve what she wanted, to totally atrocize him from the voters standpoint and drop his numbers to below 37% IN EVERY STATE LEFT......what else can she do to win by the margin required? Superdelegates are not going to do it, because the scenario that might ensue if they did, is not something they want....and the more that she tries to damage him, the worse they will like her. It's just how it is.

30. You are
completely insane. From irresponsible comments to bloviating blather, you are a total fool. Your inanity has finally crossed over into the ethereal realm of grandiose stupidity.

Your careless comments do more to undermine Democrats than anything your fevered imagination can concoct Hillary doing.

Get help!

I would admire her more if she would face reality
and put the party before her 10% chance to destroy it.

7. Actually I did love Hillary
Until she mocked the Obama supporters and made fun of his speeches I was on her side. I was shocked by her behavior!

believes they can sit in the big chair.

8. She is only continuing because there are those in the MSM who want her too.
Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 08:16 PM by jhuth
Sorry, but I really believe this.

They were armed and ready to take down Hillary, and are not ready for Barack Obama.

They've been getting ready for years.

Last SUmmer I saw stories on the news about well funded websites and organazations built entirely around smearing Hillary, and they lie in wait for the most part.

They are not willing to give up what they already invested in.

If she wins the nominee, it will be the biggest, most revolting smear campaign in recent history.

11. If she takes Pennsylvania 100% - 0
it will be a tie if she gets 50% the rest of the way. And give her the tie breaker.

15. The only thing that could help Hillary win now, would be if Barack
was incapacitated in some dire manner. I pray that is not what she is waiting for.

26. Tell me
How psychotic a drone you have to be in the Obamaination to write something as scurrilous and insane as you just did?

It begins with a typical brainless comment from FrenchieCat, head of the Obama adoration society, which is then picked up by you with an affirmation of Hillary Clinton planning to do bodily harm to Obama.

Can you freaks finally get off this board? Is there no insanity too great for you?

This singular post takes the award for most offensive ever on the Democratic Underground, in my limited membership. The fact that your other drones complicitly sanction it, by their failure to excoriate you, is also disgraceful.

IDIOT!

Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 06:02 PM by anonymous171
I assume that Frenchie was talking about POLITICAL incapacitation via swiftboating. I don't think Hillary would try do actual harm to him.
BTW your post wins MY award for most offensive post ever.

29. Frenchie's meaning is clear
After initiating the conversation a few posts above with the rhetorical question, "Whats she gonna do, shoot him dead"?

I know we are speaking of the mindless drivel pounded by Frenchie, but how can any lucid person following her, not see the insanity?

Political incapacitation? Give me a break. "Dire incapacitation" following her first remark, refers to only one thing. Sure it's Frenchie's madness, but your STUPIDITY as well. Don't comment if you don't know what you're talking about.

Then again, when did that ever stop you frothing Obamites?

22. Have you noticed how the MSM has been saying that unless...
"something" happens to Obama, she most likely has lost? What the fuck do think is going to happen to him? I hope they provide him better security than they did in Dallas and they did for JFK because I fear for him.

19. As long as Obama doesn't have enough delegates to win, Hillary can
win. It is that simple.

You have to have a majority of the pledged delegates and super delegates combined. What is so hard to understand about that?

21. Its not her ego, its her elite boss'! If they cant have Clinton, they...
need Obama destroyed to even have a chance at getting McCain/bush jr/ republican war guy in office. Its all a game, its sad that her supporters don't even see what she has done to the party or the people of America. This divide and conquer shit by the elite has to stop, why do we allow them to continue to do this to us? I hope America wakes up before its too late!

If she's done, we need to unite more than anything. It will be so hard to go through this for another six months.

24. Even if she wins PA with 70% of the delegates...
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 05:59 PM by Aya Reiko
She'd still need 62% of the rest to even catch Obama.

NC is still down the road...

Yeeah... Even if she blows Obama out in PA (something she has done only once, Arkansas), the odds of her catching him in the delegate count are slim and none. And Slim is packing his bags getting ready to head out of town.

- - - -

If HRC is the nom by hook or by crook, I will not vote for her in November. I had enough of this kind of bullshit in December of 2000. I won't vote for election thieves, no matter what party they belong to.

Hillary only cares about Hillary and what Hillary wants. The
presidency is Hillary's due because she stood by Bill after he
got caught with Monica.
