...But don't worry. Obama is still going to be the Democratic nominee. Even if Hillary Clinton wins every primary remaining, she'll still probably be behind (unless the DLC cheats, which is possible). Despite carrying Texas yesterday, Clinton may have only gotten one more delegate than Obama in that state.
Even Ohio netted Clinton only a slight advantage, despite the Clinton blowout everyone expected. I can go on about Ohio, because I live only blocks from it. Part of the problem in the Buckeye State is the strength of the DLC, embodied in such Clinton endorsers as Cincinnati-based politician David Pepper. How does one describe Pepper and his views? Well, it ain't a pretty picture: The Last Word of 11/5/05 reported that Pepper actually thought the state law against marijuana possession wasn't harsh enough. Seriously, he actually thought that. He actually proposed a city ordinance against pot that would have been tougher than the state law.
That's how the DLC "thinks." They're willing to keep backing Hillary Clinton even though it's clear now she'd get demolished in November.

Doesn't look like either candidate will be able to get the 2,025 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination before the convention.
ReplyDeleteHillary needs 92-94% of the remaining delegates. Obama needs 75-77%.
Superdelegates will decide it if Clinton doesn't drop out or some kind of compromise deal isn't brokered.
Obama actually WON Texas..they have a 'hybrid' system and now he got MORE delegates than HC in Texas..
