Reply #25: Which still doesn't change the facts

That some states likely to be better for one candidate over another are scheduled in streaks. Whether you know that in advance or not, it still changes nothing,


So do you disagree that this "unmitigated failure" will result in a delegate score very close to (in either direction) Obama's presumably successful campaign? Isn't that the point of a nominating campaign - to land delegates? Does it matter how this is done?

I can't think of any serious analyst who sees a clear win for either on the cards so in effect we will have two campaigns that are almost identically successful, and it remains very much an open question who will actually be successful.
