There Hasn't Been One Single Day, NOT ONE DAY, That Hillary Has Gotten More Delegates Than Obama
Advertisements [?]
Each day delegates were won Obama first, followed by Clinton

1/3 (IA) 16 - 15
1/8 (NH) 9 - 9
1/15 (MI) 0 - 0
1/19 (NV) 13 - 12
1/26 (SC) 25 - 12
1/29 (FL) 0 - 0
2/5 (SuperTuesday) 842 - 828 (11 still to be decided)
2/9 (LA, NE, WA, VI) 105 - 56
2/10 (ME) 15 - 9
2/12 (DA, DC, MD, VA) 111 - 57.5 (6.5 to be decided)
2/19 (HI,WI) 56 - 38

It's true -- this entire contest, Obama has never lost the delegate count. If it weren't for the superdelegates, Clinton would be looking at nine out of nine election days without a single delegate victory.

-------------------------------

Even John Edwards won South Carolina in 2004, so he can claim a day that he got a "victory." And everyone looks at John Kerry's primary course as a romp.

So basically, why is she still considered a serious candidate?

11 lost contests in a row. Superdelegates jumping ship. The campaign is in debt. Workers talking of leaving. Poll numbers shrinking in firewall states. Confusion, disorganization, multiple-personalities on the campaign trail.

This is a mess. An utter and complete mess.

And people still say "well, you can't count her out, look at New Hampshire."

Except she didn't "win" New Hampshire. She tied New Hampshire.

And a tie is not going to get it done at this point. She needs wins. Big wins.

And she's never had a day in this campaign, not one single solitary day, where she has come up with a big win, or a medium-sized win, or a small win.

Why should Tuesday be any different?
