Obama wins with Delegates but,Clinton declares victory so she can go to PA,wheres shes ahead and she will likely win. Of course,she wont give up

[Faynuus]

Love Naomi Klein, in a few years she will be the new liberal goto scholar...

agree with pujah though, if he took the matter head on now, he would be alienating alot of people. Even if majority of American's don't admit it loud enough and hide behind "war against terrorism" its against Muslims and he needs to speak to those people first. At the end of the day the miniorty won't put him in office.

The "National Media" has decided to give Hillary another shot at this nomination. Check out MSNBC, FOX, CNN, ABC, CBS and the pundits are all salivating over Hillary today while every broadcast segment is negetive about Obama. Three days ago Hillary was the devil. It is all about the horse race fellas. It is about the ratings and the TV drama. The mainstream media will do anything to keep this fight going for months to come.

LOL@sanka, you are letting your nerves get the best of you wallaalo.

 

The media will go where the news is.

 

Obama has taken few weeks all to himself, and I didn't see you complaining about all the attention he had gotten over the past few weeks, it was just fine by you.

 

The moment the attention is shifted to Hilary, you cry "foul", and thats just ridiculous.

 

Media out to focus on that scandal brewing on the obama camp, one of his fundraisers in court?

 

BTW, how do you expect the news networks to remain competitive in this business, if not through ratings?

 

PS:Hilary appearing on saturday night live, john stewart, she is just on a roll.(didnt watch the john stewart segment yet)

 

Jack Nicholson endorsing her? watch out hollywood has spoken when they voted for her in california, and hollywood are still speaking for hilary, read my signature, and that will sum it all up caawa

[Pujah]

^^ The timing of all these negative attentions on Obama will most likely work to her advantage – still I think today is the day Mrs. Clinton will withdraw from the race along with Mike Huckabee

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Who would you prefer to have answer a White House crisis phone call at 3 a.m.?

 

Hillary Clinton 25% 54503

Mike Huckabee 6% 13395

John McCain 32% 70887

Barack Obama 36% 79637

 

Total Votes: 218422

Hillary’s Math Problem

Forget tonight. She could win 16 straight and still lose.

By Jonathan Alter

Newsweek Web Exclusive

Updated: 11:23 AM ET Mar 4, 2008

 

Hillary Clinton may be poised for a big night tonight, with wins in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. Clinton aides say this will be the beginning of her comeback against Barack Obama. There's only one problem with this analysis: they can't count.

 

I'm no good at math either, but with the help of Slate’s Delegate Calculator I've scoped out the rest of the primaries, and even if you assume huge Hillary wins from here on out, the numbers don't look good for Clinton. In order to show how deep a hole she's in, I've given her the benefit of the doubt every week for the rest of the primaries.

 

So here we go: Let's assume Hillary beats expectations and wins Ohio tonight 55-45, Rhode Island 55-45, Texas, 53-47 and (this is highly improbable), ties in Vermont, 50-50.

 

Then it's on to Wyoming on Saturday, where, let's say, the momentum of today helps her win 53-47. Next Tuesday in Mississippi—where African-Americans play a big role in the Democratic primary—she shocks the political world by winning 52-48.

 

Then on April 22, the big one, Pennsylvania—and it's a Hillary blowout, 60-40, with Clinton picking up a whopping 32 delegates. She wins both of Guam's two delegates on May 30, and Indiana's proximity to Illinois does Obama no good on May 6, with the Hoosiers going for Hillary 55-45. The same day brings another huge upset in a heavily African-American state: enough North Carolina blacks desert Obama to give the state to Hillary 52-48, netting her five more delegates.

 

Suppose May 13 in West Virginia is no kinder to Obama, and he loses by double digits, netting Clinton two delegates. The identical 55-45 result on May 20 in Kentucky nets her five more. The same day brings Oregon, a classic Obama state. Oops! He loses there 52-48. Hillary wins by 10 in Montana and South Dakota on June 3, and primary season ends on June 7 in Puerto Rico with another big Viva Clinton! Hillary pulls off a 60-40 landslide, giving her another 11 delegates. She has enjoyed a string of 16 victories in a row over three months.

 

So at the end of regulation, Hillary's the nominee, right? Actually, this much-too-generous scenario (which doesn't even account for Texas's weird "pri-caucus" system, which favors Obama in delegate selection) still leaves the pledged-delegate score at 1,634 for Obama to 1,576 for Clinton. That's a 58-delegate lead.

 

Let's say the Democratic National Committee schedules do-overs in Florida and (heavily African-American) Michigan. Hillary wins big yet again. But the chances of her netting 56 delegates out of those two states would require two more huge margins. (Unfortunately the Slate calculator isn't helping me here.)

 

So no matter how you cut it, Obama will almost certainly end the primaries with a pledged-delegate lead, courtesy of all those landslides in February. Hillary would then have to convince the uncommitted superdelegates to reverse the will of the people. Even coming off a big Hillary winning streak, few if any superdelegates will be inclined to do so. For politicians to upend what the voters have decided might be a tad, well, suicidal.

 

For all of those who have been trashing me for saying this thing is over, please feel free to do your own math. Give Hillary 75 percent in Kentucky and Indiana. Give her a blowout in Oregon. You will still have a hard time getting her through the process with a pledged-delegate lead.

 

The Clintonites can spin to their heart's content about how Obama can't carry any large states besides Illinois. How he can't close the deal. How they've got the Big Mo now.

 

Tell it to Slate's Delegate Calculator.

[LayZie G.]

LOL@SANKA, the article is very entertaining and upbeat, but it will not make me become a believer of Obama anytime soon.

 

Hypothetically speaking, the writer is full of BS. Even with this give away of states in favour of Hilary, he is still managed to give 40% margin to obama , in which in turn makes hilary share the delegates, so the end result will favour obama ofcourse.

 

The man who wrote this article is full of cr*b, and he ought to go wipe his face with the same wet towel he used to wipe his behind.

 

PS:I never give up period and especially to something I truly believe in, and I believe in Hilary, Hilary C for president

[xiinfaniin]

Tonight is crucial for Clinton! If she loses, the game is over! If she wins big though, she would be able to withdraw from this race with a credible grace---By dropping out of it while she’s perceived competitive, that is! If tonight’s results produces mixed results however, where by both Clinton and Obama could reasonably claim victory by dividing the two major states, then Clinton loses by not winning big! The pressure from her party and the democratic tribal elders for her to drop out would be too much to bear.

^What are you smoking?

 

Waxa aad halkaas ku qorte didn't make jack sense, but isku noqo.

 

To the rest of you, Sanka, and Co, you people are sore losers, hahahaha.

 

Sanka, I expected you to blog on here as the results were coming, but I guess if only Obama was ahead haye?

 

hahahahaha

 

Sore losers maxaan idiin dhahaa, don't even have decency to show up here and talk some more ish about your candidate, so I can kix kix kixk on your expense

 

Fuleeeeeeyiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn

[Gediid]

^^^In light of the Obama loses I think its in the best interest of both Obama and Clinton to negotiate and forge some sort of an understanding.This is in the interest of the democratic party.I personally think a Clinton/Obama ticket can easily get back the white house and if you take Obama's age into perspective 8 years down the road he will be 51, a ripe age for the presidency and no talk of inexperience.
