So if Obama wins more states and more delegates (by only 4), is he the marginal winner tonight?

You would have to think so. Again, the delegate count is certainly not final, but if this does hold, Clinton can talk about California, but Obama takes the lead in the perception battle, especially with the upcoming states which favor him.

1. You forgot that he also has more money from

more people who are NOT maxed out yet. :)

3. Yes, Obama has more money, but this is not from tonight. n/t

2. how hard is it to understand that this race is functionally tied?

I mean really, it doesn't take that much brain power to see something that obvious.

6. My question is about the perception battle, which affects coverage and future donors. nt

4. This is the smart game Obama has run since the beginning,

not much Hillary can do at convention time if she shows up short some delegates, and even the super delegates are with in 90 of the two candidates. Avery interesting race this is.

5. But popular vote went to Clinton

She won more votes overall apparently.

I would consider it a straight tie.

7. That's a fair comeback...we'll see how that plays. nt

8. Haven't we learned that with the messed-up system we have....

.....winning the popular vote means nothing?
