A Victory Plan For Hillary

[cali]

From Gail Collins op/ed piece today in the NYT:

<snip>

If Clinton wants to continue, there’s $11 million that says she has paid for the right to go the distance. But is it hopeless? Not entirely. Given the Democratic Party’s innovative method of doling out delegates, all that’s necessary for her to snatch the nomination is:

1) A big, big win in Kentucky next Tuesday. Ideally, Obama should be limited to no more than 100 votes.

2) Oregon, scheduled for the same day, inexplicably breaks off and sinks into the Pacific Ocean.

3) Puerto Rico, clocking in on June 1, not only gives Clinton a huge majority, but also manages to become a state in advance of the vote.

4) Finally, on June 3 as the South Dakota polls open, Thomas Jefferson’s head on Mount Rushmore comes to life and starts shouting, “You go, girl.”

An ambitious scenario, true. But nothing less than we’ve come to expect from the most hard-working political family in American history.

2. There's a much simpler plan.

1) By constantly spamming threads on how Barack Obama hates America, women, liberalism, moderates, conservatives, gays, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, his grandmother, your grandmother, and the concept of procreation in general, Clinton supporters make Barack Obama realize that he is a GE liability, and he steps down, handing the nomination to Clinton.

3. I think they've already tried that.

hasn't been working out too well for them.

4. Item #2 ...

Since we vote by mail, many of our votes will have already been counted. So, I take it the author is assuming that they wouldn't apply if Oregon were to fall off the map, so to speak, and therefore no longer be a state. Oui ou non?

5. I think you may be taking the article a bit too literally.
