Fighting the Clinton PR spin: The election is NOT tied on any measure
Pledged delegates: Obama leads 1348 - 1202 or 53% - 47% with 79% of total awarded (not included the TX caucus which should increase Obama)
Total delegates: Obama leads 1559 - 1449 or 52% - 48% with 85% of total awarded
Popular vote: Obama leads 13,358,296 - 12,645,468 or 51.4% - 48.6% (using DailyKos estimates for Caucus states that don't report votes)

This is not a 50/50 election - it is a 52 - 48 election and only 15% of delegates are remaining. There are few pledged or super delegates left for Clinton to win and she basically needs to sweep them both.

1. No, but CNN would like you to think that

Their profits have doubled since the primary season got started.

3. Well, let's hope that it's tied to one: the votes in the general election.
Unlike the cases of 2000 and 2004.

4. Yeah, but, Hillary sez we gotta hand it to her -- her name IS Clinton, after all
AND, she's been planning this for years, so how DARE we disappoint her? She WON'T be ignored. Just give her her crown, NOW, or else she might cry.
