If Hillary wins California, NY, NJ, CT, MA, what does Obama do?

[Herman Munster]

She's looking very strong in all those states.

[AX10]

1. His supporters will cry fraud.

[MadBadger]

2. Not even on his radar right now. Its all about Nevada and SC

If he wins both, California is heavily in play.

[aquart]

18. Maybe. Someone on DU said they're mailing their absentee ballots now.

So many votes don't hinge on SC and NV.

[MadBadger]

21. It was said that around 40 percent voted by absentee in 2006

But SC is 10 days before the primary and NV is 17 days before, which means that there is a good chance people will mail their ballot until at least after Nevada and possibly some after SC.

[BluegrassDem]

3. *Yawn*

Obama is running strong in all those states, plus the south.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. If aliens come, kidnap chelsea, and give Bill xray vision....what would Hillary do?

Still a lot of time Herman, still a lot of time.

5. Continue since no candidate will win a majority of delegates on Super Tuesday

He will also win several states and that will allow him to continue, although in a much weakened state if your scenario comes true. If Obama loses Georgia that will be a big blow to him. That is the big state other than his home state that he is most likely to win on Super Tuesday. If Hillary takes that it is bad for him. Even if the worst possible scenario occurs for him he will continue. He will still win at least 20-25% of the delegates on Super Tuesday and no one will be near the 2,000 delegates needed to become the nominee after Super Tuesday.

[Konza]

6. Wasn't Hillary supposed to walk away with all of those?

The fact that Obama wins anything on Super Tuesday is shocking considering how "inevitable" Hillary was 2 weeks ago.
I think Obama's hope on Super Tuesday is to pick off a few clear wins in a couple states and then come close in the biggies that Hillary already has 'wrapped up". Since the delegates are assigned based on portion of vote, Obama stays alive to fight another day if he keeps peeling off more than a third of the delegates. A trouncing on Super Tuesday will end it for him. That's why these two weeks are getting so rough. But a solid second in Cali, NY, NJ, etc. keeps him in until the convention.

Now for Hillary, if she loses one of those big monster states it'll be the Mother of All Upsets.
She had 25-30 point leads there just 3 weeks ago.

[jackson_dem]

30. Yes but Obama was also inevitable just one week ago

The bar was raised for Obama and if he loses most, or maybe all, of the big states and has only a handful of wins that will be a big disappointment for a guy who was crowned just last Tuesday.

[Renew Deal]

7. Keep going?

She's not going to win any of those that big.

[Zynx]

8. Correct. Since we are talking about proportional delegates, this could go on

a while.

[David Dunham]

9. Kiss his chances good-bye because she'll win FL and MI too

[DrFunkenstein]

19. Those Michigan Delegates Will Be Vital

I can't believe the Obama campaign didn't go negative on her about her being on the ballot.

Oh, wait. I can believe it. Go Obama!!

[Barack_America]

26. Lol! And the Canadian vote will also be crucial.

In case you haven't heard, both Michigan and Florida have lost their delegates, so their input means just about as much as the Canadians.

[jlake]

10. Scream Fraud and attack her as a racist.

[Radical Activist]

11. With Lamont and Kerry supporting Obama

you really think she's so safe in MA?

[FrenchieCat]

13. No, Hillary is not at all safe in MA. Remember MA Govenor Patrick Duval?

Who Endorsed Obama. MA has are used to voting for Black leaders. Plus the fact that Obama and his wife both went to Harvard.

My daughter lives in Cambridge and MA is Obama's to grab and keep on going! :)

[aquart]

20. "To grab"? You mean he hasn't got it yet?

It's a big fat college state. This ain't the time for him to take votes for granted.

[KingFlorez]

12. Any candidate is finished if they lose all those states

[TankLV]

14. umm...vote "present"? shout..."RACIST!"?...

throw another "faggot" on the fire or under the bus?

just guessing based on past record...

[FrenchieCat]

22. Fortunately, I will not longer be reading what you are writing.......

And I hope you become a one-person-show shortly.

[antiimperialist]

15. Obama might win NV, SC, NC and others n/t

[calteacherguy]

16. He takes his delegates from those states, and the race continues. nt

[aquart]

17. This election, trust no polls.

[sleipnir]

23. Pray that Hillary picks him up as VP

n/t

[Occam Bandage]

24. We'll think about that after NV and SC change around this race.

[Barack_America]

25. Remind this country that there is more to it than the Northeast.

Jesus, get over yourselves already.

[LordJFT]

27. cry about how the race means so much to him so he can win sympathy?

[CyberPieHole]

28. Cry "racism" and get Jesse Jackson Jr. to spout some divisive stuff...

and hope for the best.:shrug:

[cali]

31. as long as you're being nasty let's look at this scene:

Hillary lose CA, MA and CT as well as several other states. Now we know she likes to choke up and manipulate people and we know she's a paranoid little cookie, not to mention that she plays the sexism card and loves to hide behind Bill's coattails and get her surrogates to files law suits, so what will cryin' hill do? Probably all of the above.

Put it out, get it back.

[cali]

29. then she probably also picks up the remainder of

the significant 2/5 states and he's done. He should probably think of dropping out at that point. But that's quite an if. And as they say, a week is a lifetime in politics.
