5. Hillary by 5 or less will not be positioned for good spin. |
|
Obama will have a 10-20 point win in the bigger state of tonight's contests. he'll take more delegates, and move farther ahead of Hillary.
The March of the Superdelegates will commence.

I may end up being right after all!

8. Well, it looks like this thing is wrapping up. |
|
I'm sure "the contest" will continue, but at some point, Clinton and her supporters will be faced with the choice between Obama and McCain. I hope and am confident that they will choose Obama, just as I hope Obama supporters would choose Clinton were their roles reversed.

9. 4% margin of victory for Clinton is a loss. After all this anti-Obama ferver she needed more |
|

12. HRC had to win ALL primaries by 70/30 to TIE. Anything less is a loss |
|
She continues to fall further behind with less delegates in play.
Same thing with Penn.... she won, but not by enough, so she lost.

17. Hillary needed win by 38 points (69% of the vote) to make tonight really count |
|
Edited on Tue May-06-08 07:38 PM by rocknation
43-point or more margin of victory = blowout
38 - 42 points = a "real" win
30 - 37 points = good, but not good enough
11 – 29 points = a wash
5 - 10 points = useless
1 - 4 points = concession speech
If the current numbers hold, she'll have to get 86% of the vote in ALL SIX of the remaining contests to surpass Obama.

11. I hope he can keep it in single digits in IN, and win fairly big in NC. |

13. If he brings it down to 5 Indiana might possibly be a zero delegate gain for Hillary |
|
All depending on how it breaks in the districts.

Its 11% of the total voters. Which seemingly has been split between them like the popular vote in general.
What is debateable is if the motives are the same.
