Hillary won the battle tonight, but has lost the war

[Citizen Kang]

She needed huge wins to catch up in the delegate race. As it stands, she will only pick up a couple of delegates on the night. Obama will increase his lead in Mississippi and Wyoming next week. At this rate Hillary will have to win the rest of the primaries by 25% or more just to break even.

Thats the reality. The rest is just spin.

[The_Casual_Observer]

1. Obama isn't going to have enough delegates to win anything.

So, who cares?

[ClayZ]

2. K and R

[ClayZ]

3. K and R

[Kittycat]

4. She won't increase her delegates in the net.

Her strongholds won't net the delegates in TX, nor in the caucus.

But she fought hard scorching the earth along the way.

[RememberWellstone]

5. There's no place like Iowa

there's no place like Iowa...keep telling yourself that. Hill won tonight and she's just getting started.

[Citizen Kang]

17. Thats a late start

way too late to win without subverting democracy. Look at whats left and how far behind she is, even after her "big night".

[SeaLyons]

42. That's Right

Just Getting Started on her way to the White House!!

Madame President:woohoo:

[MagsDem]

6. She won, deal with it

[billyoc]

38. It's not difficult to deal with, she's just as far behind as she was yesterday. nt

[Milo_Bloom]

7. The war was lost before the battle even began.

She is just trying to save what little face she has left.

[meow mix]

8. This is why the Clintonites are so bitter about the win

kinda funny

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

9. If You Think The War Is Lost, You Don't Know A Damn Thing About Politics.

Perception is more valuable than anything else. Right now, you're ignoring it at your own peril...

[Milo_Bloom]

15. LOL. What peril. It was over before the night began.

Obama is the nominee... CLinton is just an annoying mosquito, whose only possible function will be to damage Obama.

[LSK]

19. 1 + 1 = 2

No way avoiding the #s.

[Citizen Kang]

24. Ok genius...

How does she win the war?

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. i doubt she'll even pick up delegates tonight

the results coming in were the primary results, and Obama won all the high-delegate areas in the state. Plus they're not factoring in the caucuses.

Those will negate the win in Ohio.

Overall, I'd wager $5 that Obama picked up a net gain of 4 or 5 delegates tonight.

[Rageneau]

11. Food Fight!

Let's go to the tobacco-free smoke-filled room!!

[rug]

12. Uh huh. Ok. Yup.

[GetTheRightVote]

13. It is my worst nightmare that she be the candidate so I am happy to hear it

Obama is my man period otherwise there is no respect or vote coming from me for the democratic party
or its members. I am so sick of her scary ads and mean lying ways. Go Obama !!!

[democrat_nanny]

22. Wow

If a Clinton supporter said something like this they'd be "alerted" and "reported" and PM'd with threats and....

...oh that's right, Obama and Co. are bound by a different set of rules.

[k8conant]

14. Pyrrhic victory...

another such victory and she shall be undone.

[joshcryer]

16. Again, the ignorance of people here regarding the DNC is astounding. It's not "pledged delegate...

...leader wins." It's "who is most electable and who can make the most persuasive argument at the DNC."

ALL WITHIN THE RULES. ALL DEMOCRATIC.

[sjdnb]

18. She kicked ass and took names tonight ... but, good luck trying to spin it

otherwise.

[Milo_Bloom]

20. Barely winning where you had a 20 point lead 2 weeks ago

is hardly "kicking ass".

The result of tonight is that she has been mathematically eliminated.

Its all over but the crying.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. A WIN is a WIN is a WIN.

Get use to it. Obama is finished. Hillary has the MOMENTUM now. Obama needs to just get out. MI and FL will now HAVE to be attended to. If that happens, Mr. Hope is toast.

[Milo_Bloom]

32. Nope.

The LA clippers could win every game they play from this moment on and it won't make any difference, they will still wind up with a losing season.

[NDambi]

33. Ha ha..love it

[Dawgs]

41. Brilliant!!

:rofl:

[bridgit]

21. Sun Tzu say, "War ain't over till it's over, grasshopper."

[1776Forever]

23. The Republican's won tonight - Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton if it comes to it I will not vote

I heard her say "Make no mistake in the fall we will be one united party." That Party won't include me. I am disgusted with her tactics and feel that she will do anything to win. She has betrayed the Party and if she continues the Party will never recover! Those Republican's that voted today in Texas for Clinton are the winners tonight! Make no mistake of it!!!!!!

:eyes:

[donheld]

31. "Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton if it comes to it I will not vote" So you prefer

Bush/Clinton/Bush/McCain? Excuse me for saying so but that's just plain idiotic.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. Agreed. As my kids would say: "scoreboard"! Hillary deserves some credit, but she had to fight dirty...

to do it.

[Scurrilous]

27. Reality kick.

:kick:

[jlake]

28. You're delusional.

Damn that feels good to say!

[Stephanie]

29. She lost the war and she ceded the high ground.

She showed how low she's willing to go and it was just appalling. No principles, no class.

[meow mix]

36. she proved all the nasty things people say of her, are all true

that much is for sure

[LibertyorDeath]

30. Thank You Thank You !

[Voice for Peace]

34. K&R Thank you. Keep the reality checks coming.

[Wayjose]

35. and now she awoke the sleeping giant

Obama will hit her back, no question about it. 54% of the Dems say that she went too far in her negativism, so Obama will get a pass if he throws mud at her.

[chyjo]

37. She lost the war long ago

She just is happy to have plenty of people still marching to their deaths(sort of like Iraq).

[seabeyond]

39. she lost me with her dirty politics. i wont let someone blackmail me into a vote

by using fear, lies.....

[workinclasszero]

40. Hillary won a temporary PR battle

Obama is still on track to win the dem nomination.

The talking heads and Hillbots will sober up soon as that stone cold reality hits them in the face.

[awaysidetraveler]

43. Yep, it's a reality check.

Hill's supporters are sticking their heads in the sand, and they ought to know it.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

44. Bornaginhooligan's Metaphor Emporium.

Clinton scored a fourth quarter touchdown, now Obama's got the ball and all he has to do is run out the clock because he's still 140 points ahead.

Clinton was in check. She took a pawn. She's still in check.

Pendulum experiment- Find a large pendulum, with a heavy weight, and a wire attached to the ceiling. Hold up the pendulum to your nose on one side of the room. Let the pendulum go. It will swing away to the other side of the room, and then start swinging back. The naive might think the pendulum is going to crash into your nose. In fact, some people consider it quite psychologically intimidating. But if you know the math, you've got nothing to worry about, baby.
