Slates Delegate Counter Makes for Great Fun for Obama Supporters!!!
Go here and play around!!!

http://www.slate.com/id/2185278/

Just for kicks drag the top bar over so Hillary wins all 10 remaining states by 60%-40% and Obama STILL leads by 50 Delegates!!

Actually give Hillary a win in all 10 remaining states by 62%-38% and he STILL wins by 30 Delegates!!!

Sick of hearing Hillary whine about Florida and Michigan....OK....Lets add them in.......

Check the Florida and Michigan boxes and drag the top bar to give Hillary a 60%-40% win in all 12 states remaining (with FL and MI) and give Obama just a TIE in North Carolina (where Obama leads by 15) and Obama still has a 10 Delegate lead!!!

Now, all of the ones above are insane because Hillary has only won three states by 20 points, so lets be more realistic!

Lets give Hillary a 10 point lead in PA, the same amount she won "HER STATE" Ohio by. And then lets give Obama a 10 point lead in North Carolina which is a low guess. Hell, then lets give Hillary a 10 point lead in all of the remaining states INCLUDING Florida and Michigan and Obama still leads by 99 Delegates!!!!

Does any Hillary supporter honestly think the Super Delegates are going to back Hillary when she is down 99 delegates and national polls show her behind or tied with Obama? Even if she wins popular vote there is no way they back Hillary with her being 99 delegates down.

I would love to see an honest post from a Hillary supporter with a honest set of numbers using the Delegate Calculator where Hillary wins on delegate count. Please post a comment saying something like "Here is How Hillary Wins in Delegate Count". I want to see what I am missing.

11. At this point
I don't think any but the most reality free of her supporters honestly believe she has even a small chance. With the proportional delegate assignment rather than all or nothing even a big win doesn't pick up more than a handful of them, so it hasn't been close for a while now. Seems to me they keep going just to prove they can, show that nobody can push them out or something.

I'm past caring. Whatever damage she was going to do to our chances in November has already been done, at least most of it. She seems to be hurting herself worse than anyone else these days and if she and her supporters insist on the right to turn themselves into jokes in front of the nation I'm not sure what anyone can or should do to stop them. I don't care what they do anymore.

18. Try this one
If Obama can get 50% in North Carolina and Oregon, Hillary can win all remaining contests by 70%/30% and still lose by 3 delegates.

Also, if FL and MI were seated as is (50 and 55% respectively for Hillary), she could still win all remaining races with 63% and still be 4 pledged delegates behind Obama.
