How Florida is Useful For the Democrats

By liberalgeek April 25, 200838 Comments

Florida provides a very interesting case study for us. They were eliminated from being involved in nominating the Democratic Presidential candidate. So to a degree they are an unvarnished example…

dang!
AP’s current numbers, which most media sites (including TPM) are showing is …Clinton 1,258,245 54.69%
Obama 1,042,297 45.31%

~~Isn’t it interesting how they round up Hillary and round down Obama. I remember rounding in elementary school and I don’t think the rules they are using are the right ones…~~

Hillary Survives, But the Math is Still Not in Her Favor

By cassandra_m April 23, 200820 Comments

So while you hear the media spin last night and this AM re: Hillary’s win, let’s remember a couple of things here:

1. Primaries are about winning delegates, and the Dems award their delegates in a proportional manner. Hillary may have earned 12 -14 delegates over Obama, but she still cannot catch up to him unless she wins everything, and wins it decisively, from here on out.

2. Six weeks ago, Clinton has a 20 point lead and a victory in Ohio which was supposed to be ominous for Obama. For Obama to close the gap means that he is still convincing undecideds (except for those who choose at the last minute). Hillary keeps her base. Obama gets voters who are new to the process — young voters, new voters, party switchers; while Hillary maintains her base. Net is that Obama is speaking to everyone and is convincing folks open to being convinced.

OH MY GOD! HOW LOW WILL SHE GO…
