If she can beat Obama by a 115% margin in Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota, she can totally tie him in pledged delegates!

GOMAMMA!

4. Didn't you get the memo...
...delegates are yesterdays goalpost.

Today's goalpost is popular vote, in those states that favor Hillary. And to hell with math, and rules, and procedures. It's HER TURN DAMMIT! And if she doesn't get it, she BETTER BE the VP, or ELSE!!!

Sorry, but at this point, mercy should be swift and made as painless as possible. Either way, there's gonna be some driftwood in the waters, but it needs to be done. Frodo is due for a trip out on the lake.

6. I really don't think
She wants the VP spot. She wants number 1, and if she can't get it this year, then she is going to make damn sure that Obama won't get it either! Her plan is simple, win now, or destroy Obama so she can run in 2012 when she will come back and say "see I told you so, I could have won, now vote for me this time"! I just hope that the party gets wise and boots her ass out before it's to late! Does anyone in the leadership of the democratic party have any backbone?????

7. I wonder if they can even stop her
It seems to me that even if all the super delegates decide it, she'll still take it all the way to the convention. She'll say "they can still change their mind" or something similar.

At this point I'm dismayed to say that there may be no way to stop her short of pushing the convention all the way up to June.
