The only path I can see for HRC making her case at the convention (more math)...
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 02:46 PM by yourguide
Upcoming contests:

Lets assume a 50/50 split in guam, 2 delegates each
Lets assume HRC takes Indiana 52/48, 35 for Obama, 37 for HRC
Lets assume Obama takes NC 55/45, 63 for Obama, 52 for HRC
Lets assume Obama takes Oregon 55/45, 29 for Obama, 23 for HRC


Now lets assume HRC gets 100% of the vote and delegates in WV, Kentucky, PR, Montana, and SD. That's right, 0% for Barack and you get...

1617 to 1617


That's right folks, unless Obama gets 0% of the vote in those 5 states she does not and cannot catch up in pledged delegates.

HRC, it can't be done, it's friggin OVER, go home already...

1. It's more likely that she and Obama will kill one another with pistols at 50 paces...
... and Mike Gravel will become our nominee.

3. I'd rather assume
that Obama takes South Dakota by 100%. After all, he has Daschle to campaign for him. Go 'yotes!!!

4. Nothing personal
but that's as likely as her getting 100% in any state...but I like your assumptions.

5. What if Hillary takes 75% in each of the next states?
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 02:47 PM by IanDB1
You know.

What if President Obama only does about 10% better than Ron Paul in each state?

10. wrong!
The SD could still give it to her.

If Obama implodes, she is the only game in town.

13. right now no one has given up or won.
By holding her hand instead of folding, she is allowing BO to make a mistake, corporate media to dig something up, -gate it (as in gaffe-gate, bitter-gate, black-gate), and hope something sticks.
Obama may pass tomorrow. Hillary will be there to remind us that YES WE CAN!
So she stays in.
