To Hillary Supporters Looking Toward a Big Day Tomorrow |
|
Obama has won more Delegates, Super Delegates and Add-on Delegates since West Virginia than Clinton will earn from Kentucky tomorrow.
The same will be true for Puerto Rico. This is why it is over.

8. I think Clinton has a big chance to win in Oregon. |
|
As an Oregonian, I believe that they've vastly underestimated the support for Hillary Clinton here. I think she can win Oregon by big margins, and turn this race around.
Clinton supporters- go out and tell everyone you know that Hillary Clinton is going to win in Oregon tomorrow. It's a sure bet!

13. I'd like to believe this |
|
but the in poll after poll she's behind. And with a lot of the vote already in, I don't think there's much chance. In all the polls she trails more among those who have not yet voted than she does among those who have already voted. So, not much chance of catching up.
We'll win in a blow-out in KY tomorrow, but don't look for a positive story out of Oregon.
The media will try it's best to ignore KY and will play up Ore as the decisive contest. They are SO in the tank for Obama, it isn't funny anymore.

16. The reason they will call it decisive is... |
|
... Obama currently needs to win just 16 delegates to win the majority of elected delegates.
If they reinstate Florida and Michigan delegates as half votes and seat them as-is (which I believe they will) then he would currently need 58 delegates to get that majority, even with him getting ZERO from Michigan.
A massive, West Virginia like loss in Kentucky coupled with a large enough victory in Oregon could win him that 58 tomorrow. In which case Oregon would indeed have been *the* decisive primary.

And no Obama signs on the other house on that block! Looks like a Clinton landslide here in SE Portland.

You and I know how much support there is for her here. People in Portland and Eugene are just so HAPPY she voted for that good old war, and we want to thank her! I mean, you can hardly WALK because there are so many Hillary signs all over Oregon!

22. thanks for the lecture |

Why do you folks think it's even remotely acceptable to talk down to Clinton supporters like you're some fonts of wisdom?
It's not 'over' until one of these candidates achieves the nomination. Maybe in some corrupt dictatorship holding a facade of an election there would be a victor before the end of the process, but this is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the face of the earth. If we can't have any integrity to complete our own process without declaring a winner, how can we expect other countries to adhere to a full and complete process of elections?

26. Thank you for the nonsense. |

How is pointing out the facts of delegates a "corrupt dictatorship" or a "facade of an election".
The points that I made are strictly facts. I'm sorry Clinton supporters have a hard time dealing with those facts.

To piss on her supporters' joy at another big win?

34. You can't win when you've already lost. |

But the meaning of that is probably scrambled by people that believe that you can also win a race you never "participated" in.

will put Obama past the 50% mark in pledged delegates. That is good for at least a dozen SDs.
She will in all likelihood net a pledged delegate or two when both contests come to a close, That means she will need a little over 82% of the remaining delegates.
Subtract the dozen or so SD's I mentioned from the mix it's 85%.
Assuming she does amazingly well in SD and MT and manages a tie, she'll need 90% of PR and 90% of the remaining SDs.
I've given her ties in two contests she will likely lose big in, and stopped Obama Super Delegates at 12.
How does she convince the 90% to go with her?

It's really time for Hillary to take a well-deserved rest.
Obama needs a rest too, then Obama can start campaigning again at the end of June. We can win this, but not if Billary keeps on tearing up the country and being negative. She has the power to divide people, not unite us.

Hillaree Cleenton being a home girl, spending her summer months on the Island at her Uncle Jose and Aunt Juanita's Casa, learning the difficult task of playing the castanets, and balancing a basket of fruit on her head, and doing it with panache and style!

is to win BOTH contests with 86% of the vote--that's the only way she can prevent Obama from clinching the delegate lead.
