I was almost right?
HRC won primaries in Ohio, Rhode Island and probably Texas.
My estimate for Vermont was way off, he blew her out. And, he probably will win the Texas caucus by a fairly large margin.
Vermont is a key state because that's going to be the state where he picks up his most net gain.
As of 11:48pm, both candidates have gained 119 delegates so far. Hillary is exactly where she was this morning with no net gain (and i'm not including the new superdelegates for BO.)
Oddly enough, Barack will walk away tonight with winning more pledged delegates while losing more primaries. He seems to end the night by extending his lead with new pledged delegates and 3 newly announced super delegates. According to Tom Brokaw, Obama has at least another 45-47 new superdelegates that will endorse him relatively soon.
I read two separate articles on Hillary's chances of reaching 2025 at all, much less before Barack. (1,2)
So if she can win the next 16 contests by large margins, and still be behind nearly 60 delegates (not including the superdelegates Barack will aquire during this time), why is she still running?
So if she can not realistically or even magically catch up to Mr. O, how does she expect to wind up the democratic nominee? Well she could always subvert Democracy - that just may be possible.
Is Hillary the new Mike Huckabee? Staying in the race where it's "a mathematical impossibility" to win?
Either way, congrats to her on winning states she should have won handedly anyway.
