Are you dense? She gained nothing. She has to sweep every state by huge margins to make up the difference. She needed to win by 20-30 points in Ohio and Texas. She did not. The dems know it. She is on life support. period. Rush did nothing but encourage her to stay in and keep fracturing the Democratic party and allow her to beat up and hurt Obama (the eventual nominee) in the process since McCain and the RNC have no intentions of beating him up.
The only way she can win is if she jacks up the courts. No way Obama takes second fiddle and lets her have delegates where he was not on the ballot. You ever study his ruthless win in Illinois? Probably not because you are all jacked up on the hyperbole koolaid like a 9 year old.
You oughta get out of your hysterical DU mentality and look at the facts, Jack.
All she has to do is get “close enough” on the delegate count. It’s a Democrat nominating process after all, and not supposed to necessarily be too democratic. I knew when Carville and later Slick publicly stated she had to win both Ohio and Texas that they were putting all the chips on the table with that goal in mind. Now they have the traction to do all the things necessary to secure the nomination. They achieved exactly what they need to accomplish last night, and they know what needs to be done to make the rest of it happen. They are playing their game now. Obama will not get the nomination. He will take the VP slot.
You are mistaken that it is all about delegates.
The Witch gaines a lot of power as a result of winning those elections.
She now is MUCH better positioned to argue to the superdelegates that only she can win the big states, that she deserves a do-over in FL and MI and so on.
She may not have won delegates, but that’s almost beside the point at this point. The math isn’t there for her. But she walked away with nothing? HARDLY.
These wins gave her BIG-TIME boosts behind the scenes, the only place that counts for her right now.
And she’s only playing pattycake with Obama, not “fracturing the Rat party.” Get real. This very morning she floated the obvious, that if she gets the nomination (through backroom deals, see above), she is more than willing to have Obama on the ticket as a consolation prize.
Don’t you see how this deal is going to go down? It has nothing to do with delegates at this point. That was over a long time ago, but she’s running on a different strategy now and Rush played right into it.
