Just remember Hillary supporters.... Hillary needs to go over 56% |
|
on her remaining primaries/caucus states JUST to get over the delegate counts, an virtually impossible task right now.
So, if she does not even break the 56% barrier on ONE state - it is all over.
Are you willing to accept the voters' decision by March 5th if they break for Obama again?
Or are you going to fight or claw your way to the convention and try the superdelegate path, which will effectively destroy the DLC once the revolution begins?

2. You would do well to remember that Obama |
|
needs the Hillary votes if he get the nomination or he wins nothing. The destructive rhetoric on here is reprehensible. WE are dems and we need to beat McCain or you get more idiots like ?Alito on the court.

I'm an Obama supporter, but recognize that if Clinton comes close, then the role of Michigan and Florida has to be addressed. The fact is those are two swing states that could be critical to whoever the Democratic nominee is, and Obama is already at a disadvantage in Florida, I think, where an older population might identify more with McCain. The best case is that Obama does well enough that he could allow the MI and FL delegates to be seated. That's unlikely. More likely, I think, is that superdelegates, recognizing that he is the real winner, will be pressured to migrate towards him, so that he can win with or without FL and MI.
To tell you truth, it's a really fucked up situation, and if Obama doesn't win Texas, Ohio, or PA, I would not be surprised if the Superdelegates sided with her so that FL and MI could be seated.

4. no, she can get over 56 in some and under 56 in others depending on the states |
|
if she gets 60% in Ohio, for example, she only needs to get 50% in another state

5. Depends on how many delegates are assigned.. |
|
I checked with the figures, and the limit is 56% that Hillary must reach to overcome Obama.
The way she is behaving now - it's not gonna happen.
Next week's states - Wisconsin and Hawaii - Obama is leading very well.

7. After Barack wins Wisconsin and Hawaii, that must-win threshold bumps up to 60%. |
|
He's squeezing her ... out.
