Todd: Hillary can gain at most 18 delegates tonight

[BeyondGeography]

Leaving Obama up 148 delegates with only 406 left to be counted.

Only by switching the rules of the game to an impossible-to-calculate popular vote metric, can Clinton get the nomination. Impossible, because caucus popular vote tallies are not fully available and the two campaigns will never agree on Florida and Michigan.

If you want to "win" this way, Hillfans, you will destroy the party.

Party on.

1. Amen.

2. Please explain how she can only win at most 18.

Even fuzzy math is is not in your favor.

On edit, she has already won 28. FYI.

4. umm.. he means a net of +18

[BeyondGeography]

5. Todd has been the most reliable MSM'er on delegate math

In fact, she will probably come away with less than 18; that's the high-end number in his view.

12. Yes but Obama usually gains delegates as the vote tally becomes final.

At least that's my recollection. I think the net will be less than 18.

3. Not very good ROI

Hillary picks up a few delegates and goes broke in the process.
Funny stuff.

7. Todd also said...

That after tonight, Hillary would need to win 80 % of the pledged delegates in the remaining contests to have a chance at winning in the delegate count

6. And Obama has to wait for only 80 Superdelegates to clinch it.

8. Rachel is kicking Pat's ass.

thank you Rachel.

9. yes Obama is still well ahead in delegates!!!!

10. That's why McAullife was breathlessly spinning and whirling on MSNBC tonight.

13. and begging for nickels and pennies.

11. It wont be 18. If she breaks 14 I'd be surprised. I'd guess around 10.
