So basically what the Hill camp has left...
1. Popular vote

(Especially with the illegitimate races of FL and MI included in the count), because in the end, that's all that matters. Nevermind the millions who turned out for caucuses all across the United States. They don't "count" because Obama won them (and nevermind that because she didn't win them, they are now considered undemocratic). Also don't pay attention to the fact that for every gain Hillary makes in the popular vote, Obama washes out with gains of his own and that it would take a tsunami of people to close the gap.

2. The delegates could change their minds at the convention.

Sure they can. That is certainly their right. But why would they? Just because they can? Never mind that there is not a single good reason for them to do so other than to completely overturn and undermine the primary process just simply to anoint the loser with the nomination that she (and her followers) so desperately want. Talk about disillusioning and disenfranchising voters. Do Hillary supporters even care about that? Or is it just about winning at all costs?

3. Massive landslide victories in the remaining states.

Even states that she herself would have rationalized were useless if Obama had won them, because they would not be in play for Democrats in the General Election. But to Hillary, winning states like this sends a "clear signal" to the voters that she is the rightful nominee.

Am I forgetting anything else?

3. Is hysterical, frothing at the mouth frog-lovers who run around lying about fellow Democrats,
and their fan-club sycophants (many of whom are trolls).

That's about it.

6. Oh but caucuses don't count, remember?
Wonder if we would have heard this argument had she actually won the caucuses.

10. well, there's the possibility that Obama will be disqualified for not being a citizen
From what I read on DU, a staffer refused to show the St. Petersburg Times Obama's birth certificate and now his citizenship is in question.

:rofl:
