Obama Wins…
May 6, 2008 by jonathanbrink
Obama wins North Carolina by 233,000 votes and 9 delegates. Clinton wins Indiana by 20,000 votes and 3 delegates. Net total…6 delegates and 2213,000 votes for Obama.
People lambasted Huckabee for staying in the race but Hillary gets a free pass?
I don’t know much about the way delegates are counted but I think that is the RNC awarded delegates the same way the DNC did the race would look much different. in the Republican race I assume you can win a state (not all states are like this) by one vote and take all the delegates where in the Democrat race it’s based on districts. I am probably wrong, so please feel free to correct me.
not trying to favor one or the other, it makes sense for her to stay in because obama cannot win the number of delegates needed to win nomination before the convention. im not saying its good for democrats, but it does make some sense for her.
Actually Tyler Obama can win the delegates. Check this out.

Punch in 50/50 split for every remaining state and the Supers and he gets 2087.
well he is probably going to lose west virginia and kentucky, but yeah i know he has a chance. im just saying that hillary can bring it to the convention and fight for superdelegates. im not a hillary fan but i can see why she would stick with it. she has money pouring out her sides…she might as well spend it to try and become the most powerful woman ever.
Tyler. i think the money that is pouring in is from her own pockets.. Last I heard she loaned herself something like 6 million last week. I think the folks at the convention would have to be mad to overturn a decision made by a populous majority. For Hillary to wish that to occur seems pretty poor considering what the democrats went through only 8 years ago in the general election.
