7. Yeah, but the 38% is more important than a 22% lead- Hillary math
because
38>22 therefore we win.


"Take the division 64/16.
Now, canceling a 6 on top and a six on the bottom,
we get that 64/16 = 4/1 = 4."
"Wait a second! You can't just cancel the six!"


"Oh, so you're telling us 64/16 is not equal to 4, are you?"

12. Math and three dimensional Geometry were my strengths in school
however, I had to take remedial english in high school.
so responding to a thread takes time unless I do it visually or musically.


Every time, I see one one these threads on delegates, votes, Hillary's chances
and "Logic" I just want to throw up.

14. I would have GREATLY loved to have had you as a pal in school
and especially during math classes.

My 7th grade algebra teacher threw her textbook at me once for my stupidity.

I think dear Mrs. Clinton made a mistake unleashing Geraldine Ferraro to make that race-tinged remark on FOX News.

We may be seeing far fewer "logic" posts about her chances from now on.

4. WOW only 60%
Too bad there are so many racists whites (that wont vote for him but will vote for Hillary) or his percentage would be higher.
(sarcasm added for the helluva it)

10. Looks like Barack will gain 7 delegates.
He cleared the 59% barrier for overall vote (splitting 11 delegates) to give him a 7-4 split there.

He won the heavily African American District 2 by 76% (about 2% more and he would have gotten a 6-1 split) so it goes 5-2.

He wins Districts 3 and 4 3-2 (District 4 oh so barely -- that was a big win)

Only ownside, Hillary picked up the very very redneck NE District 1 (Tupelo to Shiloh) by just a smidge, but she'll sill get it 3-2 (a couple of counties went for her 9-1 (think there was some crossover???)

So, net net, Barack plus 7, barring something unusual with the last 2% of the vote.

17. I don't really care about the delegates.
I'll take the 7 delegate win, but the most important part is the +97,000 votes. He's now up 700,000 officially, and more like 800,000 unoficially with the states that haven't released their vote counts.

That's almost as insurmountable as the delegate lead.
