Reply #34: Both campaigns are in delegate maximization mode at this point [View All]

It's not even about winning states any more.

Let's say, for example Hillary were to win TX,OH,and PA by an average of 51% to 48%.

Everyone knows what that would mean for the delegate count. Advantage Obama.

Hillary needs to take an average of 40% in upcoming losing efforts or else she is close to being done. Closer would be even better.

Even if Obama were to take one of those three states, delegate count would be close and we would still be looking at deadlock at the convention with the rules comm. to decide on FL and MI.

Obama has a shot at blowing the whole thing open, but I am expecting this thing to be very close. :(

Honestly, that will not be good for either candidate.
