6. Wasn't Hillary supposed to walk away with all of those?
The fact that Obama wins anything on Super Tuesday is shocking considering how "inevitable" Hillary was 2 weeks ago.
I think Obama's hope on Super Tuesday is to pick off a few clear wins in a couple states and then come close in the biggies that Hillary already has 'wrapped up". Since the delegates are assigned based on portion of vote, Obama stays alive to fight another day if he keeps peeling off more than a third of the delegates. A trouncing on Super Tuesday will end it for him. That's why these two weeks are getting so rough. But a solid second in Cali, NY, NJ, etc. keeps him in until the convention.

Now for Hillary, if she loses one of those big monster states it'll be the Mother of All Upsets.
She had 25-30 point leads there just 3 weeks ago.
