What's the next goal post after Pennsylvania?
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 08:08 AM by sfam
OK, so the goal post is now sitting on Pennsylvania. Assuming Hillary wins another close one there, where then does the goalpost move to? Its fairly clear that Obama gets the majority of the states (currently) left on the calendar now. Even if she gets Indiana, North Carolina happens the same day.

Worse, if Michigan and Florida get back into the fray, the odds are that Obama wins Michigan by a margin similar to the one Hillary wins in Florida.

So where exactly is Hillary planning on making up the delegate lead? If Hillary does not get to 60% in Pennsylvania, in all honesty, where exactly does she go to make up the difference?

1. The convention.
They are going to land at the convention in the same shape they are today. Hillary's only hope is overturning the will of the people in some way.

2. She is already working to swing already pledged regular
delegates to her (steal them). They talked about it on The Young Turks yesterday.

Hillary is a lawyer who knows not right and wrong in this process. She only knows what she can legally get away with and what legally she can't. Not someone I want as president.

3. SDs, steal PDs at convention,...
and then come more lawsuits. So I guess the last goalpost is the SCOTUS.

4. The final goalpost: Absentee ballots from Puerto Rico after the Primary is over. n/t
