This Race Is Not Close

The Clinton campaign is still trying to get people to believe that this is a close race that could “go either way.” That’s just not the case. Obama holds a large lead that Clinton could only overtake with huge blowout wins in the final 10 contests.

Obama’s 1415 to 1251 pledged delegate lead may on the surface not look that large but when you take into consideration that these delegates have not been won in a “winner take all” system (like the Republicans use) but have instead been won on a proportion basis you realize that this lead of 164 pledged delegates is actually quite large.

Clinton’s biggest win thus far was in her home state of New York where she won by a margin of 46 pledged delegates (139 to 93.) Read that line again and then remember that Obama has a 164 pledge delegate lead with just 10 contests to go. To the Clinton supporters out there, is it starting to sink in yet? She has no chance. She knows this, she’s hoping that you aren’t smart enough to realize it so she can keep up the charade in hopes that she can “knee cap” Obama prior to the convention and get the Superdelegates to give her the nomination. Seriously, that’s her plan. There’s no way she will overtake Obama in the pledged delegates. Think about that. She is willing to go to these lengths to win? What does that say about her?

To put Obama’s large lead in a clearer focus: If Clinton wins Pennsylvania 100% to 0%, Obama would STILL hold the pledged delegate lead.

1. Obama is going to finish the primaries with more pledged delegates than Clinton.
2. This race is not close. Obama is the winner.
3. Clinton is only holding on in hopes that she can destroy Obama’s electability and have the superdelegates give her the nomination.
