46. This is like playing math with delegates and primary/caucus votes
pages per year.... unbelievable....

Then you ask how many October surprises Obama has???


Well, by your mathematic standards approximately 1000/1200 as many as Hillary....

OK, besides the math canard, you know what is most ridiculous about this post?

The desperate grasping of straws that somehow gives your reason to stay in the denial phase.

I'm sorry. Posts like this are tragic. I know what it is like to lose a a favorite candidate in the nomination process. I was for Hart in 84, Babbit in 88, Harkin in 92, Bradley in 2000, Dean in 2004, and Edwards in 2008. I honsestly feel for you.

But seriously dude, making up random mathematical arguments in the face of the delegate math you refuse to comprehnd or at least admit to, is amazing.

Can we please get to anger already? I mean even the DLC is in bargaining mode...

Jeez... Sympathy can only stretch so far.
