Clinton Now Needs 104.17% Of The Remaining Delegates!
:rofl:

.. to win an elected delegate majority.

According to Demconwatch, 22 KY delegates can be confidently assigned to Clinton; 11 to Obama.

This leaves Obama needing 3.5 delegates to clinch an overall elected delegate majority. It also leaves Clinton needing 162.5.

The thing is, though, that there are only 156 elected delegates left to be assigned.

(For television pundits, let me be clear here: 162.5 is a number greater than 156. The number of delegates Clinton needs to win an overall elected delegate majority is now greater than the number of elected delegates available. This means that Clinton cannot win an elected delegate majority. It is impossible. That means "not possible".)

7. They still wont get it.
The Rules Committee will give the nomination to Hillary, or the Credentials Committee, or suddenly all the SDs will switch, or the pledged delegates will switch, or something.

11. That will never happen without riots in the streets. It would
tear this country apart. The populace won't stand for it.

17. if they give the nomination to Hillary
then there will be real trouble. The Democratic Party will lose and will be finished.

All the Hillary supporters in our local club have switched to Obama. All of them over 40 years old.

13. For weeks I have said Obama gaining a majority in this metric to be inevitable, and without
significant meaning.

22. It could happen.
The sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing, and everyone will know that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee.
