Heheh.... imagine if Clinton lost by 6% ...

[MonkeyFunk]

but won the delegate count. Imagine the hue and cry you'd see here about how undemocratic the system is, how the Clintons gamed the system, how unfair the caucus system is.

No matter who gets that last delegate - and nobody yet knows who will get it - Clinton won. The Press will report that she won. She will have the momentum that a win gives her. She will be widely perceived as having won.

1. Who rocks the house?

Hillary rocks the house!!

:bounce:

[DemCam]

13. She does

[jlake]

2. That is exactly what I would be hearing.

"Undemocratic" & "The Clintons gamed the system" ... Exactly!

[Renew Deal]

3. What if the same thing happens in November?

Will the press say "Clinton Won?"

[jpgray]

4. True. It's still not the same as a clear percentage AND delegate win

And it makes Obama more competitive than he would have been in that case.

[KennedyGuy]

5. OH..MY..GAWD..can you just imagine it?

They'd be getting the vapors for sure...

[Barack_America]

6. Sounds to me a little like claiming a victory in MICHIGAN. But Hillary, didn't do that, right?

Oh wait, she did.

[ArkySue]

12. You can't win

If your name is not on the ballot. Too bad your guy was dumb enough to take his name off.

[HeraldSquare212]

7. Keep winning like that! nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. Hey, if she keeps up this kind of momentum

it will be Edwards who will decide who wins.

She got a squeaker, again, in the popular vote and lost the delegate vote in a state where she practically owns the Democratic establishment.

Sounds more like hanging on by her fingernails, to me.

[sniffa]

9. That would be huge!!1!

She would have surpassed all expectations by soaring back from being up 25% to only losing by 6%.

[Tulkas]

14. Popular vote trumps Delegate count

Obama supporter here, and I see this as a loss.

It was close, she was up by 25% before Iowa, but still a loss.

If she can win S.C. it may be all over, at that point even Edwards + Obama won't = Clinton

[niceypoo]

10. Of course, they would say it was rigged by Clinton etc etc

Then we would have to listen to their hysterical conspiracy theories ad nauseum.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. if you don't win both

it's a tie in my book.

[LostinVA]

15. I just said the same thing to the wife

[zulchzulu]

16. The one with the most delegates gets the nomination

2025 delegates are needed to win the Democratic nomination. About 40% are "super delegates".

That means they can override the votes made in their state's caucus or primary.

[peoli]

17. I support Obama, hate caucuses

[creeksneakers2]

18. They go ballistic if Obama got more votes

and fewer delegates. You're right about that.

[Perry Logan]

19. I've noticed that--no matter WHAT happens--the Obama people say they feel like vomiting.

I think the correct term for that is "dyspeptic."

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Let's see ...

1. The Nevada Democratic Party (Harry Reid) rigged the process.

2. The Culinary Union was REALLY behind Hillary.

3. Mob Bosses.

4. Pelosi ... oh wait she "endorsed" Obama

5. KKKarl

6. Bill Clinton's cock.
