1. Hillary must win NC by 32 points is more true

Neither has to occur.

3. Hillary must get 68% of the vote in NC and all remaining primaries
If she gets less than 68% in NC (or Ind) she must get a larger percentage in succeeding primaries. If Obama wins NC with 55% of the vote then Hillary must get something like 78% of the vote in all remaining primaries.

It is impossible for her

4. Hillary does NOT do math... and I doubt
she does windows, either.

5. No matter what the media will say, Hillary must win EVERY remaining state-including NC!
It's ALREADY over. But if she can't win NC, it's definitely over. Even DLC Harold Fold said the winner of NC will be the nominee.

6. Obama doesn't have any more "must wins"
At this point he could tie up the nomination with superdelegates alone. Hillary is 131 delegates short of being able to do that.

7. Must win...but for what reason?
Barry has to win IN to stop the storyline that he can't win a rust-belt, blue collar state...if he wins, it will people SOME people's doubts to rest. Hilary needs to win IN to continue. In a sense, neither needs to win NC.

11. So Obama has to prove he can win a state that Democrats haven't won since 1964
but Hillary doesn't have to win North Carolina to prove she can win in the south, even though she is the one who is way behind?

Please explain.

9. Neither, Hillary must win both by 40 points is more accurate.
But who's counting?

10. The Clinton campaign is dead.
That simple fact doesn't change just because its rotting zombie corpse is still stumbling around looking for brains to eat.
