I remember people on here saying... |
|
That Obama won Pennsylvania because he closed the gap by a good amount. If Obama does not win NC by 20 points than Hillary can declare victory.

17. Only a few polls. Most had it around 15. HRC was ahead in PA by about the same. |

8. Um except hes in the lead, it was a big deal because she was behind and might advance |
|
her delegate count and she wont tomorrow unless she wins both by 66% or better.
This isn't a slam at her personally its just the facts of the contest.

15. Hillary's electability isn't in question with the super delegates... |

Edited on Tue May-06-08 01:45 AM by Hippo_Tron
Although frankly for the life of me I can't imagine why they aren't questioning her electability but that's another story.
Obama could've lost Pennsylvania by 20 and still come out of this thing ahead in pledged delegates. But had he not shown momentum in Pennsylvania, Clinton would have been able to make a more convincing argument to the SD's that they need to overturn the will of the pledged delegates to save the party.
Obama isn't trying to convince super delegates to vote for him because he's more electable as demonstrated by Hillary Clinton's margins in certain states. He's trying to convince super delegates to vote for him because he has more support from pledged delegates.

16. If she wants the nomination she'll need delegates, and she doesn't |
|
have them.
I don't believe tomorrow's outcomes in NC and IN is going to alter that scenario.
Senator Clinton has lost the nomination.

21. Obama supporters have made this a science |
|
Find the least favorable poll from a couple months back and clutch it like the last branch on the way down, regardless of lack of common sense or any mathematical sense, when the demographics are logically applied.
Then you unveil and abuse in sentence form, adding a few simplistic touches:
* "Hillary was expected to win Pennsylvania by 20-25 points..."
* "Hillary was favored to win Pennsylvania by 20-25 points..."
Eventually it gets passed from aardvark to aardvark, devoured like a termite. Who needs moving goal posts when tiny creatures can gnaw at previously functioning brain cells, transforming Colorado to more vital than Ohio, suffocating arrogance into humble, and irrelevant early polls into source gospel?

22. Hillary actually needs 20+ point victories to catch Obama, Obama on the other hand |
|
is in the lead. I think that's the difference you are missing.
