The Math (or why HRC should just throw in the towel)
If Indiana goes 54-46 for Clinton and NC goes 62-38 for Obama, then HRC will need over 85% of the delegates from WV, KY, and OR to keep Obama from reaching the Pelosi number. Even if I use numbers more favorable to Clinton, she would still need well over 80% of the delegates from the next three contests to keep him from the majority of the pledged delegates.

Any metric she could argue to SDs just went out the door today. The so-called "nuclear option" is all but likely to backfire against HRC. But that's about the only route to the nom she has left.

Face it, Hilly, your done. Be the bigger man (er... woman) and admit defeat. Only then you could salvage whatever political capital you have left.
