This is extremely important news - or is it? Link please. Why is nothing posted in TMP?

Possible misinterpretation here. I heard 4 delegates got taken from the Clinton column and added to the Obama columns for a swing of 8. But not that Obama got 8. However, I could be wrong. Just a caution here. Either way it is the difference between excellent and most excellent.

Sinbad thinks you need to take a math class!

Clinton won Ohio by 10% but Obama won Virginia by 23%

Sinbad thinks that you pick states that are favorable to your argument and forget about states that are not!

Sinbad knows that that is bad diplomacy!

Stephen, there are 50 states in the United States and they all should help decide who the nominee is.I guess in yours and Hillary's strategy of getting 51 percent by any means necessary, little states like Wyoming do not matter. Well, Stephen that line of thinking can come back to haunt you. That's why Hillary has egg on her face now with Mississippi voters because of her earlier disparaging comments against the state. I guess that non-Texas & Ohio size state of Mississippi matters now!

Obama is running a campaign to be President of the United States of America. He had the insight not to write off any states. That's call judgment!

The will of the people works in mysterious ways.

Oh well, another state that doesn't count.

There it is. We are told that a growing list of American states -- now constituting, in fact, a majority of states, large, small, urban, rural, racially, ethnically and economically diverse and in every region of the country -- don't count.

Hillary: It's not that these states don't count.

It's that you can't count.

Otherwise, you'd know you've already been beaten.

Um, Democrats will never win Texas either.

It proves that Obama gamed the system.

Them's the breaks. Hillary knew the game when she started it. Why do you think Howard Dean came up with the 50-state strategy in the first place? Because by winning so many smaller states, it actually mitigates the advantage inherent in winning big states.

Put more accurately, it fairly values the voices of every state, instead of giving all the voice to a few states.

She didn't win Texas - Obama did, by 4 delegates.

A few hundred? Try almost 10,000. And who the hell cares if the Democrats will carry the state in November? You're telling me that Democrats in "Red States" don't get a voice in choosing their presidential nominee? Now who's trying to disenfranchise?

And Wyoming DOESN'T have more say. Wyoming only awards 12 delegates. Texas awards almost 200. If one of them had a major advantage over the other, one of them would have gotten a much larger boost from Texas. But they don't, and one didn't.

It seems that what you're really railing against is proportional representation.

The ONLY reason Obama has such a large delegate lead is because he actually paid attention to all the states Hillary claims aren't important. The only reason. He actually gave all the states that are usually ignored, a voice in the process. And you're saying that's a bad thing.

Guess it's true what they say, you can never please everyone..

Actually, it proves that Obama was prepared and Hillary wasn't. It also proves he has a 50-state plan, while Hillary only has a blue-states-plus-one plan. It's a plan that has failed us the last two elections. Why should it work this year? Especially if Hillary gets the nomination, which she doesn't have the organization to do. The most important campaign in her life, and she doesn't have a Plan B after Super Tuesday? Geez, it's hardly any wonder that most states, delegates and voters have backed Obama. When that phone call comes at 3am, I doubt Hillary has a clue how to handle it. I base this on her poorly managed campaign. She's been fierce lately, but you can't "negative campaign" your way out of a national security crisis. Or a campaign that's already lost.

Hillary had no plan. She mismanaged the biggest thing she's ever had to manage: her campain. She's going to lose because she lost states that she thought were unimportant. Now, watch the Clintons scramble in Mississippi. It's suddenly important and on Tuesday, the voters there will show her just what they think of her and her dismissals of them.

Go ahead, make excuses. Try to brush off Obama's wins. Move some goal posts. Hillary followers seem to be sore losers just like their candidate who can't seem to congratulate Senator Obama for all his wins.

Face it, he's going to be the candidate. He'll win California, New York, New Jersey, etc. and probably a bunch of red states too in the general election. He's a loyal Democrat who follows the rules and saw the wisdom in a 50-state strategy. The Superdelegates who are holding out are not chumps who are going to break up the Democratic Party with Clinton bullying and spin.

Hillary will never catch up. She had no plan because of her and her campaign's arrogance in her "inevitable" days. But, take comfort because she is a good senator and has a bright future to look forward too there. The country is fortunate that we'll have her representing New York and possibly even as majority leader some day.
