that it’s freakin’ February 13th! There are 265 days until the election.
Lest we forget, 265 days before the 06 election there was noooo way dems would win control of congress…but we did.
265 days before the 04 election there was noooo way Dems could beat Bush in Nov. Came pretty damn close as I recall.
265 days before the 2000 election there was noooo way Gore would lose in Nov. That didn’t work out too well.
And of course, 265 days ago, there was noooo way a guy named Barack Obama was going to be leading in he delegate count ahead of Hillary Clinton.
I love polls…I almost have to…but this far out they don’t mean much… If HRC is the nominee her numbers will even out. History tells an interesting story…
Obama has won more states
Obama: 22
Clinton: 10
Obama leads in the popular vote
Obama: 9,332,720 (52%)
Clinton: 8,648,569 (48%)
Obama leads in pledged delegates
Obama: 1139
Clinton: 1003
There are only 1025 pledged delegates remaining, and since our system is not a winner-takes-all, it’s impossible for either candidate to win the needed 2025 in pledged delegates. Clinton needs 589 pledged delegates to overcome Obama by the Convention.
Considering states such as Hawaii, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, and South Dakota, are leaning towards Obama (without crunching the numbers), it appears Clinton would need to win by more than 20% in the remaining states (especially Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania) which she hasn’t been able to do thus far, so it seems highly improbable that she’ll be able win the 589 pledged delegates she needs.
Reading the numbers, and not wanting to be anti-democratic, superdelegates are running towards Obama (ok not really but 9-2 in the last week), including Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager.
So the real question is, how long is Clinton going to drag this thing out? If she takes this to the Convention looking for a brokered back room deal, she’ll not only break up the party just 3 months prior to the general election, but will have handed over the White House to John McCain, ensuring 4 more years of war in Iraq.
Clinton snubs states with smaller delegate counts, which to her own demise will lose her the nomination. Will someone please tell her there are two other elections before Texas, or to drop out before it’s too late?
Colorado is insignificant, along with the other 45 states in between NY and CA.
“Could we possibly have a nominee who hasn’t won any of the significant states – outside of Illinois? That raises some serious questions about Sen. Obama.” – Mark Penn
