Didn't Hillary lose ground?

Looking at CNN's delegate calculator http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/index.html

Before yesterday, Hillary needed to win 61% of the remaining delegates to get the nomination. After IN and NC she now needs to win 64% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination.

Dosen't that make yesterday a loss for Hillary.

2. Yep, Obama gained at least 12 PDs and 210,000 votes on the night.

This was the last "big" night for Hillary to CLOSE the gap, and now it's wider.

She can "win big" in WV and KY but they won't help her catch up.

3. yes, big gain for Obama, 20 or more delegates

Do not trust CNN or the New York Times for delegate counts. They are actively trying to help Hillary, and both lying seriously on their delegate charts. Go to Obama's site for the straight scoop.

4. You would never guess it from the ditto heads on the teevee.

I guess Limpballs plea for repukes to vote for Hillary worked in Indiana. These pundits just kill me not telling their watchers that Obama actually gained ground last night despite Karl Rove's despicable hand being evident.

5. If the situation was reversed the Democratic

leaders would be pressuring Obama to quit the race. Because they fear the Clinton brand they will allow Bill and Hillary (the NAFTA couple) to continue on while tearing the party apart.

8. If you don't get what you need to win, then you lose.

9. At this point she needs to win the 89% in the remaining states to keep from losing more ground

In other words, she's just going to keep on losing ground from here on out.
