Hillary's Quixotic Campaign Gets Even More Absurd: Obama Picks Up More Pledged Delegates
Obama widens lead on Clinton in state
Sen. Barack Obama has inched a little farther ahead of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in Washington state.

Figures released Friday by the state Democratic Party show that Obama won about 70.5 percent of the delegates selected last weekend at the party's legislative district caucuses. That's a slight increase over the 68.5 percent of the delegates he won in February at the party's precinct caucuses.

You can skew out of context quotes all you want, but you can't skew the delegate math. Mike Gravel and Hillary Clinton were both fine candidates, but they just didn't have what it takes to get the nomination.
