2. Actually I do not think Clinton is thinking in delegates anymore.
It is about money. Clinton had but what? 9 million to use this month and she has likely used well more than half of it.

So what she is thinking is that a win by atleast 10 points in PA will attract new donors to her Campaign. Because so many of her existing donors are maxed out LONG ago.

She desperately needs money for defending her lead in Indiana where she hopes to attract more donors.

So on and so forth until the convention I guess.

So the chain has to be interrupted by winning a Clinton lead state. That is what makes May 6 so important because it is the best chance to interrupt the chain which would ruin any chance of Clinton moving the supers over to her.

I took me some time to discover that. However, when it dawns on you .. You completely understand what Clinton may be trying to do.

So let us hope for a Small Clinton win so she wont get that much to fill the warchest with.
