There Hasn't Been One Single Day, NOT ONE DAY, That Hillary Has Gotten More Delegates Than Obama

[THUNDER HANDS]

Each day delegates were won Obama first, followed by Clinton

1/3 (IA) 16 - 15
1/8 (NH) 9 - 9
1/15 (MI) 0 - 0
1/19 (NV) 13 - 12
1/26 (SC) 25 - 12
1/29 (FL) 0 - 0
2/5 (SuperTuesday) 842 - 828 (11 still to be decided)
2/9 (LA, NE, WA, VI) 105 - 56
2/10 (ME) 15 - 9
2/12 (DA, DC, MD, VA) 111 - 57.5 (6.5 to be decided)
2/19 (HI,WI) 56 - 38

It's true -- this entire contest, Obama has never lost the delegate count. If it weren't for the superdelegates, Clinton would be looking at nine out of nine election days without a single delegate victory.

-------------------------------

Even John Edwards won South Carolina in 2004, so he can claim a day that he got a "victory." And everyone looks at John Kerry's primary course as a romp.

So basically, why is she still considered a serious candidate?

11 lost contests in a row. Superdelegates jumping ship. The campaign is in debt. Workers talking of leaving. Poll numbers shrinking in firewall states. Confusion, disorganization, multiple-personalities on the campaign trail.

This is a mess. An utter and complete mess.

And people still say "well, you can't count her out, look at New Hampshire."

Except she didn't "win" New Hampshire. She tied New Hampshire.

And a tie is not going to get it done at this point. She needs wins. Big wins.

And she's never had a day in this campaign, not one single solitary day, where she has come up with a big win, or a medium-sized win, or a small win.

Why should Tuesday be any different?

1. The John Edwards comparaison is a bad one. He won SC, but Kerry won the most delegates that day,

just like Clinton won MA but Obama won the most delegates that day.

3. really? i didn't know that.

4. Once again, Obamaniacs are using facts to make Hillary look bad.

SHAME ON YOU! :P

;-)

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. I'm sorry. I assure you it won't happen again after Tuesday.

I'm almost certain it won't.

:evilgrin:

[Dawgs]

6. How could that be? Hasn't MagsDem has been convincing America that Obama is evil?

:rofl:

[scheming daemons]

15. Yep.... "converted" 20 voters just yesterday!

...or so MagsDem says....

[Scurrilous]

7. Thanks!

K & R :thumbsup:

[Tarc]

8. And yet his lead is still scant because he has little appeal in the important states

[Renew Deal]

9. lol

Which states are important again?

[Occam Bandage]

10. Maybe Ohio, probably not Texas.

[mohc]

11. Come on

We all know it comes down to Rhode Island next Tuesday. If Obama can not win the state with "Hope" as its motto, does anything else really matter?

[Lerkfish]

14. only statest that vote for Hillary are important states

didn't you get the memo?

:)

[Political Heretic]

12. Wisconsin is an "important" state.

[Yael]

13. "the important states"?

You mean like Florida and Michigan?

[scheming daemons]

16. Exactly the attitude that her campaign has... and why she's losing...

To imply that voters in SOME states are important, but voters in other states aren't.


This kind of arrogance is why she is losing.


Her campaign, like her, is tone-deaf. Completely tone-deaf.

[THUNDER HANDS]

17. tone deaf doesn't even begin to describe it

its crippled, intellectually and monetarily as well as thematically.

[elixir]

18. Because she's mathematically w/in striking distance of BO.
