My last post about the primary! It's over (with the math)
Advertisements [?]
I was playing around with CNN's nifty delegate calculator and I discovered something interesting.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/index.html


This BS about Hillary still being able to win is pretty impossible an here's why:

If Obama were to get 64% of the remaining SDs he would have 2024 delegates. He wouldn't have to compete in any more primaries at all.

If Hillary were to get 64% of the remaining SDs she would fall far short. She would have to win 73% of the remaining delegates... a feat that would take a significantly higher vote total to reach under DNC rules. With Obama expected to win OR, MT, and SD. She doesn't stand a chance. WHY is she still in this? Why is she running attack adds against Obama in Oregon? I understand that she needs to raise money to pay off her debts.... but WHY THE HELL is she still out there attacking Obama?

I want a Clinton support to post in here why she is attacking Obama when she clearly doesn't have a shot to win anymore.



That being said... I am no longer going to post or comment about the primary... because that only feeds the trolls. It's over. Time for the powers that be to change GDP to GDGE.
