There was nothing condescending in the tone of that post. Here are some facts you may want to consider ...

From Realclearpoltics.com:

Total Delegates OBAMA - 1323 CLINTON -1252
Pledged Delegates OBAMA - 1155 CLINTON - 1013
Popular Vote OBAMA - 9,739,878 CLINTON - 8,988,617
Popular Vote (w/FL) OBAMA - 10,316,092 CLINTON - 9,859,603

It's not condescension, it's FACT. Obama is beating Hillary. There very few states left, and the margins that HRC is up in ANY of those states is far less than the % she would need to retake the lead in pledged delegates, not to mention that each passing day sees the polling numbers trend in Obama's favor in Texas & Ohio. If she loses either, I cannot fathom how she would win mathematically, unless Obama suddenly drops out of the race. Even if she wins both plus PA, I can't see her winning by enough to really cut into Obama's delegate lead. And trust me, the Superdelegates aren't going to thwart the will of the people.

You can envision a scenario in which HRC comes from behind, but the reality is that each passing day makes that possibility more and more remote. Step back and look at the data, and try not to internalize what is happening to HRC's campaign. You may have a lot invested intellectually, emotionally, or even financially, but her losing has nothing to do with you personally. If I let it get to me every time my candidate lost an election, I'd be in a mental hospital by now (I'm a 2-time Dennis Kucinich for President supporter, for crying out loud).
