2. No real change in the math coming.
We'll see shortly how a Hillary win, tonight, affects the Superdelegates.

3. Definition of Marginal = Extremely Small, not blowout
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 04:26 PM by Kittycat
Marginal Definition

1. Extremely small. "A marginal increase in core can decrease GC time drastically." In everyday terms, this means that it is a lot easier to clean off your desk if you have a spare place to put some of the junk while you sort through it.

2. Of extremely small merit. "This proposed new feature seems rather marginal to me."

3. Of extremely small probability of winning. "The power supply was rather marginal anyway; no wonder it fried."

20. Yeah? You say Clinton supporters are bizarre?
Well I say Obama supporters are stupid.

Does slapping a brother/sister Democrat make you feel good? When is this namecalling going to stop. It is NOT helping either campaign.

Knock it off.

31. I guess this is obvious, except to the knee-jerk Bots here...
...I believe the OP is chiding Schneider for his usual ineffectiveness in predicting anything, and so marginal to Schneider would be a blowout in reality. Sure, he could have put a sarcasm emoticon, but then what would you Bots have to complain about?

Oh, right...EVERYTHING!
