Of 326 delegates awarded since Tue. morning, HC got 14 more than Obama,
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:24 PM by DLnyc
so far, by my count:

According to RCP, Ob was, if I recall correctly, 110 (111?) ahead yesterday morning. Now he's 97 ahead.

SD: O: 196(?) C:241 before, O:201 C:241 now (Ob +5)
TX: was 0-0 before . . . O:70 C:78 now (Ob -8) (out of 193, 45 still a mystery, some think a majority of those will be O)
OH: was 0-0 before . . . O:64 C:74 now (Ob -10) (out of 141, 3 still unknown)
RI: was 0-0 before . . . O:8 C:12 now (Ob -4) (out of 21, 1 still unknown)
VT: was 0-0 before . . . O:9 C:6 now (Ob +3) (our of 15, none missing)

All this from RealClearPolitics at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

So Hillary's "big win" consists of 19 delegates for the day, minus 5 superdelegates Obama got during the day, and possibly minus some portion of the 45 missing TX delegates. Plus she gained one hell of a lot of spin.

oops, edit to turn of emoticons.

1. I think we are still waiting on caucus results.
which will probably go 60/40 his way.

4. Yes, if they go 60/40 that would imply 20% X 45 = about +9 for Obama.
She did well--and better than I, for one, expected--in the popular vote (although a part of that may have been in very 'red' groups that won't really vote for her in the Fall). But as far as delegates she did not do much at all.

2. At the Cost of Great Ugliness and Fearmongering
Not the sort of thing that attracts Democrats at all.

And remember, given the choice between voting for a Democrat who talks like a Republican, and a Republican, the public will choose the real thing.

Especially given Hillary's negatives within her own party.

3. Yes, in a "who's more Republican" contest, Hillary will not win against McCain
If she kept the focus about Iraq, the economy, global warming, healthcare, many other things, she could win. But not if she starts trying to say she's a better "terra-fighter". IMO.

6. Do any of these sites EVER have printer friendly versions?
:grr:

I hate it when the key info gets cut off.
