Re: She Cannot Win (2.00 / 1)

If Obama loses Indiana by 10
And barely wins NC - he will be fatally compromised.
If Obama LOSES North Carolina it's all over but the replays.

Re: She Cannot Win (2.00 / 1)

Why??  She lost 12, TWELVE, contests in a row....He will still have the lead in pledged delegates, the most states won and the popular vote.

She is hoping that the remaining superdelegates are as naive as the voters who are buying her pandering of the Holiday Tax Cut, siding with the GOP candidate nonetheless...One can dream though..


Toot, thank you for raising such a terrific person...You done good and we will have you in our hearts.

Re: She Cannot Win (2.00 / 1)

Nope.

The super delegates don't want to buy an Edsel come November.
If Obama closes out the nomination race on a big losing streak - and if he doesn't have enough pledged delegates (which he won't) - then they will not nominate him.

Period.

(Whether they go for Hillary is another story.)

Re: She Cannot Win (2.00 / 1)

Oh, I get it...

For awhile, I thought delegates counted.  Then it was the big states.  Then the popular vote.  Now I finally have it clear -- it's the last states to vote that truly matter!

It has always been (none / 0)

winning in November that matters. That's what the hillary hate has masked.

Re: She Cannot Win (none / 0)

Delegates DO matter.
If you have 2025.
Short of that - it's another ballgame.
Both parties have had delegate leaders fail to win the nomination.
There's a BIG difference between having the most delegates and having a majority.

Re: She Cannot Win (none / 0)

Right.  And I was just wondering whether the Calvinball game was scored on big states, popular vote, or late states.  Or maybe only the votes of Real Americans count.  But with a few states still to vote, perhaps it's too soon to decide which rules we want to play by.

Re: She Cannot Win (none / 0)

So much disrespect for the voters who are not buying your dreams/prejudices. Yep, voters are so dumb.

Now regarding your TWELVE contests, that is past. Talk about the present because that determines the future. The euphoria is gone, the charm is gone, the gloss is gone. It happens in life. And I know it will take time for you before it sinks in.

Re: She Cannot Win (none / 0)

Your right I'd much rather be in Hillary's position than Barack's...It makes so much sense, you know the math and all...You'll have to excuse me for a bit, still trying to get used to the up is down, light is dark and first is second way of thinking...

You know, you're right.

Re: She Cannot Win (none / 0)

That's called change. If up is up, light is light, then it's the same old things - status quo:-)
