HRC's head is just above the water and the sharks are circling.

Slate drops HRC's chances to win the nom to a mere 0.7%.

http://www.slate.com/id/2191796/

With Tuesday's contests in Kentucky and Oregon, Barack Obama seizes a majority of pledged delegates. April fundraising numbers show Obama still leads in the money race. And key figures ditch Hillary. Obama now needs about 70 delegates to attain the "magic number" of 2025, so we're dropping Clinton's chances drop to 0.9 points to 0.7 percent. For every 10 delegates Obama wins, Clinton will drop another 0.1 until... let's just say she'll need a snorkel.

<...>

The question now is, how long will it take Barack Obama to win the remaining 70 delegates? Superdelegates could decide to endorse him en masse Wednesay. But chances are they'll wait for the contests to finish. The remaining primaries hold a total of 86 pledged delegates. Even if Obama gets only half of those, he'll need only about a quarter of the 179 remaining uncommitted superdelegates to hit 2,025.

2. Who needs DELEGATES when you speak for working class white people???

After all delegates already have a voice at the convention. And a funny straw hat, too.

The guy is going to win it. They need to stop the bull shit. It's over.

Clinton has really damaged Obama's chances. Now when the Republicans pull the dirty tricks
and racist crap, there's a lower floor.

She needs to get out now. Terry M and the rest of the wrecking crew need to just shut up.

They're pathetic.

5. And by the way, Hil, your popular vote argument is a complete crock

Edited on Wed May-21-08 02:59 AM by rocknation

as explained by this Web page. Not all the states had primaries, some had both primaries and caucuses, and nations/territories that can't vote in the GE most certainly should not be included. Nice try, though.
