So - It looks like 70/30 clinton win.

[cliffordu]

Why am I not more concerned??

Oh, yeah....

The maths.

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. She just hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth.

The only problem: she's down by 15 runs with 2 outs.

[splat]

2. Nope, the superdelegates' duty is to rescue the party if the tide shifts late

Their "endorsements" can change with the wind.

[Zachstar]

4. For a state that has more social issues than I can count?

[splat]

6. Most Americans fear the price of gas and food will mean we all have those social issues

[Spider Jerusalem]

5. Momentum in West Virginia and Kentucky does not equate to a tidal shift.

And endorsements won't be changing at this point, except away from Clinton, as her increasingly untenable position in the race becomes evident. Obama has picked up 20+ superdelegates in the past week; does that not tell you anything?

[splat]

14. Momentum is opportunity. She had he tonight, he wasn't in sight

[Bjornsdotter]

7. Yes

....anything can happen between now and August.

:toast:

[baldguy]

3. She needed 86%

Anything less is a loss.

[Thrill]

8. Bill Clinton said she would get it 80%

“I think President Clinton said that they are going to get 80% of the vote. We’ll take him at his word.”

[Colin D Cops]

9. Bill Clinton did not say that. This story was debunked

Bill Clinton did not predict Hillary would win 80% of the vote in West Virginia. He said that even if Hillary won 80% of the vote, it wouldn't make a difference if only 100,000 people voted:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/12/clinton-supporter-on-wv-vote-just-wait-‘til-we-win-like-80-20/

If you read carefully, you can see that Senate Majority Leader Harry Truman Chafin was the one who made the prediction. the Clinton campaign "quickly tried to downplay Chafin’s remaks".

[NewHampshireDem]

20. Once again, Bill DID say that ... read it slowly this time

"We gotta have your help and get the largest number of people to show up on election day. See all this stuff you are hearing about is an attempt to discourage you. That's what this is, pure and simple, hoping, well, Hillary can get eighty percent of the vote in West Virginia, and if only 100,000 people show up it is not enough. But if 600,000 people show up, and you say we want a president than you will see the earth move. You can do it."--Bill Clinton

10. She'll win by 40, but she wont get 70

[splat]

11. Keep raising the bar, the supers will notice -- underdogs are hot

[GoldieAZ49]

12. The maths.?????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

it's at the convention that the votes are cast, then you can do 'the maths'.....maybe

[splat]

13. All superdelegates are free to switch at any time, with the prevailing winds

[Hawkeye-X]

15. Somebody farted?

In West Virginia?

Who noticed?

[cliffordu]

16. DAMMITT!!! you beat me to it!!

:rofl:

[splat]

18. Roses. I smell roses.

[GoldieAZ49]

26. if they are breaking for Obama they must have their head up somebody's ass

and under the influence of gas

they will have fresh air in Denver, when they vote

[Gore1FL]

17. But why would they?

[splat]

19. Because their job is to rescue the party from another McGovern, nosediving at the end

[Gore1FL]

23. OK

but we don;t have a McGovern runnning

So why would they?

[cliffordu]

21. Won't make a difference. She's

TOAST!!!

[splat]

22. Delude away; there's always an endgame

[cliffordu]

24. We've seen the endgame since Stupor Tuesday....

You know, that period of time since that She Herself hasn't prepared for.

[GoldieAZ49]

25. what you don't want to do 'the maths'

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

27. Yep, goldie, the maths....

[LibertyorDeath]

28. With all the states that "don't matter" according to Clinton's campaign

They finally hit one that TRULY DOESN'T

[Mz Pip]

29. Only to her

and her PR machine. :shrug:
