GO HILLARY.. 9 delegates out of PA. If she wins the next 15 states straight she is the nominee
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 10:33 AM by Bensthename

This is wrapped up for Hillary. There is no way she can lose.

2. I'm sure she's counting on
a miracle. Or that Obama will be caught smuggling tanks into Evansville (which would sort of be a 'miracle')

12. Well, if it happens, you can be sure that...
"The sky will open. The light will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing."

Thus sayeth the prophetess.

3. Actually - it's like 67 or 69% that she has to win by
But that's just more of that silly math talk.

7. She'll win Kentucky and West Virginia by 30 point margins.
She'll net maybe 15 delegates from those states.

Can we start calling her Madam President now?

9. If Hillary swept the final 10 contests with an average of 55% of the vote
do you think the Democrats should nominate Obama?

13. if he won, yes.
I have used the delegate calculator on CNN's site, and even though THEY count florida and michigan as Hillary wins, it worked out when I did it that she has to win all remaining contests with a 60% of the vote, with supers remaining where they are right now, to TIE.

I don't think that's going to happen.

46. At 55%, yep
A late charge in the fourth quarter is great but if you're behind when time runs out you still lose. At 55% in each and every one of the remaining primaries she'd still be well behind in the delegate count. Last I heard she needs closer to 68-70% to match him. In all of them. That just puts them about even.

For those supporters of hers who can be civil I do admire their loyalty to her, but as far as I can tell she actually lost ground in Pennsylvania as far as the delegate race goes which moved the total she needs from the rest of the races even higher than they were before. It's pretty well over, just dotting the i's and crossing the t's at this point.

15. Yep.
Made quite a dent there, didn't she?

She went from a 20 point lead to a 10 point win and is dancing in the streets.

25. Her "magic number" is NINE. Nine delegates and nine percent more PA votes.
She's used up her NINE lives ... she's kitty litter.

14. This is the greatest thread I've seen recently.
Considering that there are only 8 more primaries and 1 caucus, I hope you have put money on her winning 15 more states.

I'll hold your money for you.

30. Good thing there's only 7 states and 2 territories left! So we need 6 more:
So we need 6 more ... hhmmmmmm ...

1. Canada. Canada is a big state! 27 million. They should get to vote for Hillary.

2. Madagascar. Home of Teresa Heinz-Kerry. Sounds Democratic to me!

3. Cuba. They like nukes!

4. Easter Island. It's where voting machines come from!

5. South Arkansas. Double the pleasure, double the fun! Surely she'll get 70% there.

6. Hell. All the demographics there fit Hillary! Particularly the pigs-with-wings demographic.

I have my doubts that the state of Canada would go for Hillary. But I wouldnt mind adding them. That would surely fuck with all the pundits and the whole political landscape.

If she wins PA by 9.2%, let's stop this thing right now and hand it over, she's the people's choice!


Now where's that five bucks they promised me..
