32. Let's look at the numbers and get out of the emotion for a sec
I went to the CNN Delegate Calculator and plugged in some realistic numbers, giving Clinton 55% in PA (she has 54 right now) and Obama 55% in NC, WV, and some other states and Clinton 55% in Indiana. Clinton still lost the race by over 100 delegates. Oh yeah, I split the remaining super delegate 50-50. Try it:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/

I had to give Clinton 60% in ALL the remaining states (she's on track to get only 54% in PA)and then she needed 60% of the remaining super delegates to win by 20 delegates. It is not going to happen.

Please don't tell me I am asking Clinton to drop out. I'm not. I don't care. This is just a reality check for Obama and Clinton supporters and any Repugs wondering who to start attacking.

Peace,
Tex Shelters
