Well, Obama is still ahead
The headlines will say that Obama failed to land the "knockout blow." But then, so did Hillary. She still trails in delegates.

3. Even if Hillary wins PA BIG... much much bigger than
her win in Ohio... how do you figure she leads by the time it gets to Puerto Rico?

The math isn't on your side.

BTW, how many net delegates did Hillary win yesterday?

(hint, she didn't)

4. Helplessly hoping...the DLC and Dean's DNC will get pressure to nominate Clinton...Don't be so naive

Clinton is the chosen one by the republicans, she'll get them out to vote.....if it was Obama they'd have a field day as well...the republicans choose our candidates, stupid Dems....best way to assure victory....Fascism is certainly not by chance....

2. Much worse than that for Hillary
By the time the dust settles... she will not have gained even ONE delegate... in fact, it is likely that Obama will win more delegates than Hillary did yesterday.

And another 369 delegates are off the table.

How will she catch up to Obama at this rate will be the question on the daily news shows for the next few weeks to months.

Obama will very likely win two more primaries within just a few days (Mississippi and Wyoming).

It's just really hard to see how she wins the delegate count... and I don't think the Super Delegates are all of a sudden going to ride to her aid.

She did enough yesterday to stay in it... only because she won't listen to anyone telling her it's over. But she didn't do what was needed (+50 delegates) to get close to tying Obama in the delegate race.

And it's all about the delegates.

6. "And another 369 delegates are off the table."
The thing that so many are looking past.

5. Neither candidate will have enough pledged delegates to win
outright. It will come down to superdelegates no matter who wins.
