60. You HAVE NO MATH.
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 02:50 PM by AlertLurker
Can you zombie children of planet Barak Obamoid kiddies not do your OWN homework? I realize that many of you find it difficult to put a sentence together using proper grammar and spelling, but surely you can add, subtract, multiply and divide? Do they no longer teach arethmetic in USAmerican high schools?

If Hillary gets 60% of the remaining unpledged delegates and S-Ds, she has 2067: About 42 more than the required 2025. This is not statistically impossible, but improbable, all the same. Considering that she currently has 60% of the superdelegates (so far), it's also highly irresponsible to speculate that Obama will get 60% of those remaining, however.

To answer your next question, of course I'm frustrated. Not because I'm a Hillary supporter, but because I like NEITHER candidate; I'm just a cranky old bitch and I really hate to wipe the noses of somebody else's kids. It's NOT MY JOB, just like doing your math for you is NOT MY JOB. If you make an assertion, back it up and DO YOUR OWN WORK. By the way, I got my numbers from: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

Lastly, I believe that Hillary should exhaust EVERY avenue before giving up. This is the only way the system works properly for everyone who voted for HER. That's her main responsibility to her voters, period.

If she loses TX, OH and PA, I suspect that she will bow out. She may stay in the race until the Convention, however, especially if Obama fails to garner sufficient support (a supermajority) and she may have a chance to defeat him there, even if he is ahead in the delegate count at that time.

P.S. "America" is a CONCEIT, not a country.
