#4411 Re: The Garden » Wisconsin, Washington, and Hawaii primaries » 951 weeks ago
where do you get your stats from?
just curious cuz CNN.com says the popular vote is 44% Clinton, 43% Obama and 13% undecided and i think Yahoo says that Obama is up by 1% hardly the 10% you say
in other news...McCain needs to clear this mess up that just surfaced
Overall popular vote doesn't matter. You need to check state by state.
Go here, and select a state and look at the results.
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/
If you click on Wisconsin, for instance, you see Obama got 58% of the vote to Hillary's 41%, thus he got a lot more delegates.
The most recent race Hillary won was New Mexico. She only won 49% to Obama's 48%, so, she only got one more delegate than he did. She needs to win by big margins to catch up.
If she only wins Texas and Ohio by a couple of percentage points, it's not gonna help her. If she loses, it's over, because many of the primaries left will go to Obama.

haha its weird for me cuz my personal involvement it this is nonexistant...but i almost want hillary to win the nomination just cuz you guys are so sure shes gonna lose...shes only 69 delegates back with nearly 700-800 more required to secure the victory..this race will be going down to the wire imo
has a race ever been this close before?
It's funny you say that, because about two months ago, everyone thought Hillary was going to win, but I was a believer in Obama. Mainly because I've followed him here in Illinois for years now. Many years he's been a lawmaker here. He actually has more lawmaking experience than Hillary, even though she tries to make it sound like she is more experienced. Being First Lady doesn't mean you're qualified to be president.
The reason she is going to have such a hard time catching Obama is because the delegates are divided up by the percentage of votes the candidate gets. When Obama wins, he's getting 60 to 70 percent of the vote. When Hillary wins, which isn't nearly as often, she's getting 50 to 60 percent of the vote, not enough to offset the delegates Obama wins when he's still getting 40 to 45 percent of the vote.
#4413 Re: The Garden » Wisconsin, Washington, and Hawaii primaries » 951 weeks ago
The problem is, even if Hillary wins Texas and Ohio, she will only win by a slim margin which means they could nearly split the delegates and Hillary wouldn't gain on Obama. She needs to win Texas and Ohio HUGE, and she just can't. It won't happen. It's over. Tonight's debate could seal it. Unless she forces Obama to screw up, this is her last chance.

#4416 Re: The Garden » Wisconsin, Washington, and Hawaii primaries » 951 weeks ago
Hillary is done. For good. No way she can be a viable candidate with Obama winning double the number of states as her, winning most races 60 percent to 40 percent and with him winning 10 straight and leading the latest Texas poll and closing quick in Ohio.
It's over. Obama vs. McCain. McCain has no chance. Obama is the next president, like it or not.

#4420 Re: The Garden » Super delegates now bailing on Hillary » 951 weeks ago
Yeah, even if she wins the March 4 primaries, she won't win them big enough to retake the lead. And if Obama stays ahead, the superdelegates will side with him.
