Hillary will only net between 10-15 pledged delegates from her "huge" PA win

1. Hillary doesn't believe in delegates anymore.

[TahitiNut]

11. She seems to believe in the ones that don't exist. Michigan and Florida, for example.

It's fascinating how many folks don't comprehend the meaning of the word 'delegate.' Appalling ignorance. :eyes:

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Hillary needs about 13 more Pennsylvanias to close in on Obama

ain't gonna happen!! It's a shame many of her supporters can't see the writing on the wall.

2. Need some tweezers?

[FrenchieCat]

3. No, but a cane to snatch Hillary off the stage would do.

4. 6 delegates

thats it

[Cali_Democrat]

6. When all is said and done it will be a bit more than that

But Hillary will likely decrease Obama's pledged delegate lead from 166 to about 153.

:rofl:

[demwing]

31. what is it now? 11?

12?

Congrats on the win Hillary. You've moved 12 delegates closer to still losing the primary.

7. Man, that's a buttload of FAIL ya got going on there.....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cali_Democrat]

8. I was thinking of using this also

Hillary 2008....

[cliffordu]

9. NIce!! I wonder how many millions per delegate that works out to....

:rofl:

[Eurobabe]

10. B-but CNN ticker sez: PA Victory DEEPLY personal for Hillary

God I hate this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[TahitiNut]

16. She's arrived at Lieberman-ville, imho.

She's running an UGLY campaign.

[Eurobabe]

19. I absolutely

will NOT vote for her, the "obliterate Iran" comment shows me she is the power hungry monster I figured her to be.

:puke: :puke:

[jackson_dem]

12. That is because some votes are worth up to more than 3x more than others under the delegate scheme

Thanks for offering more evidence as to how corrupt this delegate scheme is. We need to return to the principle of one person, one vote. Obama benefited because he did best in areas given, oops, I must say allocated so one nut doesn't blow a gasket, the most delegates while Clinton's areas were allocated less. The disparity was as great as 3x.

[cliffordu]

14. Yet another FAIL right there!!!

[Cali_Democrat]

15. Scheme?

Everyone knew the rules of the game going in. Just like everyone knew the rules regarding Michigan and Florida, even Hillary. Obama campaigned according to the rules and Hillary just FAILED.

[Frank Booth]

23. Yep. Her complete inability to win what should be Democrat strongholds -- blacks and cities

-- caused this.

We didn't hear people whining about the delegate structure back when Bill was running.

[TahitiNut]

20. Fascinating. Condemning the party's 3-decade primary process.

The same process designed to assure that DEMOCRATIC-voting districts are emphasized so the candidate's delegate totals portray an ability to WIN in November.

Funny how you folks whine about 'electability' and the 'Democratic base' and then smear the very process designed to assure an electable candidate.

Fucking stupid.

[jackson_dem]

21. Yeah that scheme sure is working wonders this year!

:sarcasm:

The scheme is legal but it should be reformed for 2012. The idea that some votes count more than others is nonsense.

[Cali_Democrat]

22. Well don't cry about it now

[jackson_dem]

24. Has the Leader Obama banned free speech?

[newmajority]

27. We won't need it in 2012

No Democrat will be challenging President Obama's second term. Certainly not Hillary Clinton.

[jackson_dem]

29. Off topic a bit

What will the "netroots" do when they don't have the Clintons to kick around anymore?

[Cali_Democrat]

30. kick McCain's ass

What else do you think?

[pointsoflight]

17. The maximum she can get is now 12.

It could be less than 10. 10 is most likely.

[RememberWellstone]

18. Watch the ball, super delegates.

This will be the key.

[jackson_dem]

25. Yes and they are in amusing denial on the "netroots" about this

The results speak for themselves. Basically Obama managed to do just poorly enough to validate the arguments the Clinton camp has been making.

[Frank Booth]

28. How have those arguments been working out for you?

The Hillary camp was making the same, tired arguments to superdelegates both before and after Ohio. I somehow missed the mad rush of superdelegates to HRC.

Considering that the margin in Pennsylvania is similar to Ohio, you're going to be disappointed if you think Hillary's magical arguments will suddenly take hold.

[Frank Booth]

26. It will probably be only a 12 or 14 delegate gain.

She's currently leading by 13 with 7 delegates still undecided.

Considering that the precincts yet to come in are in pro-Obama areas, it's likely he'll pick up 4 of the remaining delegates, giving her only a 12 delegate "huge" win.
