What tonight emphasizes

What tonight emphasizes is that winning the majority of pledged delegates is not the same as winning the nomination.

2. what tonight emphasizes is that scoring late in the game isn't worth any more than any other time
but that there are plenty of magically-thinking fools who think it does.

3. Or that losing the majority of pledged delegates is not the same as losing gracefully with class.

4. It emphasizes that a spoiled brat of a candidate can get her followers to
play a big game of "let's pretend I'm the nominee" when she is going down to defeat as we speak.

18. Hillary is more dispicable than her mentor Rove. Hard to believe, but true.

15. Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it so.

7. Yes, it is. Obama will have both soon. KY usu. votes Red. It is not a "needed" state.
I'm sure Obama will campaign there, and will try to address their concerns and get their votes. But the fact is...that area frequently votes Republican, and it's not likely that a majority there will vote for a black man.

But although he'll want their votes, he won't "need" those votes. He does, however, "need" Oregon. I think he's got those needed votes.

16. Probably June 3, maybe a few days after. Hillary can't hit that figure. She's done.

12. I thought that tonight emphasizes that winning Kentucky is not the same as
winning the nomination. How could I have missed the obvious!
