good effort indiana
A little over 20k votes seperated Obama from Clinton, out of the 1.25 million votes cast. That means she won by about 1.7%. Not exactly the victory she was looking for. She's going to end up with about 4 more delegates than him from Indiana, but he won 16 more delegates than she in North Carolina, winning that state by 15%.
She can't catch up by delegates alone. She would have to win all 6 of the remaining primaries by 86% to overtake Obama in delegate count. This is excluding superdelegates, which so far have been overwhelmingly going to Obama.
Obama has picked up 83 percent of the superdelegate endorsements since Super Tuesday, narrowing Clinton's superdelegate lead to 259-236, according to the latest tally by The Associated Press. Since Tuesday's primary, Obama has picked up three superdelegates and Clinton has added one.
and released by the AP today:
Since the Pennsylvania primary two weeks ago, Clinton has picked up 11.5 superdelegate endorsements to Obama's 22, according to an Associated Press count.
The superdelegate momentum is decidedly in favor of Obama, and its only expected to continue after last night's huge win for him in North Carolina and mathematical-tie in Indiana.
The only way she can get the nomination is by stealing it from Obama at the convention with a superdelegate rebellion. Is this really how we want our next president to be chosen?
