Someone in another thread called the nomination race a "tie". 1975 to 1780 is NOT a tie

[scheming daemons]

It's not a blowout. But it is not a "tie".



The only metric that matters is delegates. Not popular vote, not number of states, not polls. Just delegates.

1. 1780?

Were you there?

10. McCain was

He was shot down over Valley Forge and spent the rest of the war in the Hotel Prison Ship Off New York Harbor.

</idiot mode>

The British prison ships were genuine hell holes. More Americans died from mistreatment as prisoners than died on the battlefields of the Revolution.

2. 111 cut in difference after FL/Mich are seated

[rucky]

3. still not a tie. n/t

[scheming daemons]

5. Won't happen..... and wouldn't be a "tie" if it did.

4. everyone gets 1 gold star for showing up

:applause:

6. If she and her supporters aren't careful, the term "Hillary math"

is going to become as popular a joke as "misunderestimated."

[smalll]

7. Two-way tie for second!

;)

8. Exactly, one surrogate from the Hillary camp said they would try to change...

..perception. In plainer terms try to BS their way to the nomination. It won't fly it ain't the terms and conditions and I feel most people now prefer the reality based after the last 7 years, than their shenanigans.

9. shhhhhh.. You are going to burst their bubble..

:hide:

11. True, but to be fair, it's damn close.

52.6% to 47.4% of awarded delegates.

I don't think there's ever been a nomination race this close--not even the epic Carter-Kennedy fight of 1980.
