Here Are The Numbers! Here is the Math! Obama Holds Every Card!

[David Zephyr]

Raw Popular Vote Totals:

Senator B. Obama ....12,989,852
Senator H. Clinton ....12,403,174

Projected Delegates:

Senator B. Obama ....1,573 (Pledged)+ 207(Super) = 1,780
Senator H. Clinton ....1,464 (Pledged)+ 242(Super) = 1,706

Only 611 Pledged Delegates can be won from this point on. That's all that is left.

Seven days from today, the next two contests of Wyoming and Mississippi will have taken place and, in both cases, Obama is heavily favored -- so much so that Hillary is not even making an effort there. And after those two contests, another 45 delegates will be taken from out of the existing pool. A reasonable estimate is that Obama should gather at least another 30 from those 45.

Tom Brokaw has reported that Obama is shortly to begin releasing the names of still 50 more Super Delegates who are already on board for his candidacy.

The math is clear.

Barack Obama has won the greater number of popular votes. Nothing can change this at this late point.

Barack Obama has won the greater number of individual state contests. Nothing will change this from this point on.

Barack Obama has won the greater number of delegates. Nothing can change this at this late point.

There is simply no way that Hillary Clinton can achieve the nomination of the Democratic Party at this point without gaming the system. The math is clear.

If Hillary Clinton is angling to be Vice President and to use her continued, quixotic struggle as a bargaining tool for that position, wouldn't it be better for the party if she would just ask Obama for the position now.

She can not win. The math is not there. She needs to cut a deal before she destroys our chances in November.

The only ethical outcome is for Barack Obama to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
