Whew! Obama still in the lead in BOTh popular AND electoral vote!

[zero]

She got closer, still not ahead.

Hillary needs to win by around close 70% of the vote in the rest of the primaries to close the gap in both categories.

And to add a P.S. Even though they are reporting it as a 10% victory margin, she only won by 9.4% over Obama. To be able to use the 10% figure, they had to round up her vote percentage and round down his. She was listed as a 20% favorite only a few weeks ago in PA.

There's no way she'll catch up. But since Obama won't get the required 2,024 delegates either, she's still alive. She'll need to "compete" in the remaining primaries, fight the fight for her life to seat the Mich and Fla delegates, and take the Supers into the backrooms. They can change their minds up to the convention. But she can't ever quit if she wants a chance.

The thing that would drive a stake in the Democrats is if the loser doesn't fully, and I mean fully, back the winner. (Remember what Ted Kennedy did to Jimmy Carter)

[quote vision63]There's no way she'll catch up.
And there's no way she'll give up, either.

Sometimes, having the Atlantic as a buffer is nice.

But when you wake up in the morning you're still in France.

[Lux Interior]

No. When I wake up in the morning, I'm in PARIS, bitch!

Hilary is leading the popular vote if you count Michigan.

[OWC Jamie]

Oh geez, let's go count hanging chads again, too. :-)

[karsen]

Don't think for a minute Hillary is going to let those votes go with out a fight.
