Regarding the argument that Hillary can't win by pure mathematics
What do you think the odds are that tonight's win's will be spun in future news cycles in such a way that it ends up eroding Obama's lead in his upcoming "safe states"?

Because if this is a possible scenario one can't effectively say it's over even in terms of pure math.

8. Yep, both of them have to go to the DNC and make persuasive arguments.
Who will be more persuasive?

9. She actually can't win the "pledged delegates" without a massive blowout.
An unrealistic blowout.

4. Not enough
time to erode Wyoming (4 days from now) and no way he loses Mississippi. After the next two election he then has the momentum back

I see close races in each state from here on out
It's going to be a struggle for both camps. But Obama has the lead, and unless he mis-steps, it looks like he will indeed be our candidate.

5. You think Clinton has a chance in Mississippi, Wyoming, North Carolina,
Indiana, Guam, Montana, Oregon, or South Dakota?

10. The Obama campaign's projections have been uncannily accurate...
They predicted months ago that they would lose Ohio and TX by almost exactly the margins that they did lose. They predicted the 12 straight victories (except for Maine). I would tend to have faith in their projections--according to whhich they will be well ahead even after losing PA.
