Hill: "A win's a win" The moving goalposts

[panader0]

Hillary was supposed to win this by 20 points. Now, a win's a win. In other words, any percentage is significant? Bull!
If she doesn't win big, she should hand her head, swallow her hubris, and do what is right. Quit!

1. Now is the perfect opportunity for her to bow out with grace.

[RiverStone]

2. A win is win - to her. But a small margin of victory means something different to SuperD's

It means they will pull the plug sooner then later.

12. What River said

She gets bragging rights here. Supers will know better, but she has, again, staved off the flood. She's the Indiana Jones of candidates.

[Diamond Dog]

3. And a war's a war.

Just not a nuclear war, when it is in fact a 'nuclear response'.

[Vinca]

4. Have they got money to pay the goal post moving company?? nt

[Alexander]

10. ROFL

:rofl:

Funniest thing I've read all day.

5. If that's how she's counting then a win puts her at 16

and she's got a loooong way to go to catch Obama's 31.

Of course, we don't really count the wins or the total popular vote.
It's the delegates. And no matter which way you decide to count it...
Hillary is still losing.

6. Tim Russert just said that she cannot afford to stay in if she doesn't have a big win (10 to 15)n/t

[NightWatcher]

7. people wont donate to her losing cause and he will fall further into debt

[LSparkle]

9. That's it -- how much of a win will inspire people to give?

I don't think less than 10 points is going to give her any momentum.

[DJ13]

8. Look at the brightside

Goalposts sink off the coast of Puerto Rico.

[Bucky]

11. To be perfectly fair, she's right. Anything above 50% supports her claim to stay in.

It's not fair to those of us who'd like to see the process over with, but if I were in her shoes nothing short of a 45% loss could drive me from the next contest.

Also, my toes would be really pinched. And I would be cackling in pain

[PBS Poll-435]

13. Obama:"50 +1 is a win."

[LisaM]

14. That is such an annoying phrase n/t
