1. That's how Obama really won PA. He drained her resources.

4. Attrition is my favorite political/military strategy.
It is cold, calculating, painful and smart.

Does that make me a bad person? :shrug:

2. See that's the main deception perputrated on the Country
because of the proportional delegate system, Obama's lead is HUGE. It's not the small lead suggested by camp clinton and the MSM. It took many many handful of delegate victories for Obama to get that 160 delegate lead. There is no way she can catch up.

3. That's probably her max.
By the way, look at the demographics on that page. PA is tailor made for her, yet she could not manage to get into double digits.

13. I do remember that.
Hillary supporters were mocking Obama for vigorously campaigning in "states that don't count".

Who's laughing now?

9. And her 12th state
The truth is, she's only won 12 states too. Territories don't have electoral votes. She's won 12 states, Jesse Jackson won 11.

12. Well it is her only hope at this point...
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 11:41 AM by redqueen
other than convincing the SD's that Obama has less of a chance in the GE againt McCain than she does... which would be no small feat, considering her negatives, the public's perception of her as untrustworthy, and her recent foray into very public warmongering.

14. Cost-benefit analysis
That's what it comes down to - -12 delegates. With all the Hillarites running around shrieking that she "thumped" Obama, it's actually quite the opposite. She went heavily negative. She played the race card (that should help in NC). She played the terror card. She gave a lot of early primary voters buyer's remorse. She's further in the hole than she was before. She blew a 30-point lead. The jury is still out on whether she even got a 10-point lead. And, at the end of the day, she got 12 delegates -- but at what price?

15. The Obama campaign is f*cking brilliant
And they know exactly what they are doing. It's almost un-fun with the depth of analysis they do. They're dead on most of the time, and know exactly what they can and cannot pull off, with eyes always on the prize.

If he can sink Clinton and her campaign machine and supposed inevitability, McCain is a dead duck. I almost feel sorry for him.

I'm proud to be part of this number!

20. I'm predicting the delegate split will be 3-1.
Or 2-2.

Whichever. :P
