Obama has won 32 states (including the Texas caucuses) plus DC. Clinton has won 19 (including the Texas primary). Now of course, Clinton is using a little sleight of hand to disenfranchise the states that voted before February 20. That's 37 states.

Obama has won 32 states (including the Texas caucuses) plus DC. Clinton has won 19 (including the Texas primary). Now of course, Clinton is using a little sleight of hand to disenfranchise the states that voted before February 20. That's 37 states. Aravosis:

How do you magically choose February 20th as the day after which primaries and caucuses count, but any that happened before that date don't count? How - because only after February 19 does Hillary win more states. Now how many states do you think Hillary has thrown out of her calculations because their primaries and caucuses happened before? 38 states. That's 76% of the states not counted. Yes, Hillary's argument is that if you throw out the results in 38 of the 50 states, then she wins more states than Obama [...]

So, under Hillary's absurd math you only count the last 24% of the game, and ignore the first 76%.

The states that Clinton no longer thinks matter:

Alabama Illinois New Jersey
Alaska Iowa New Mexico
Arizona Kansas New York
Arkansas Louisiana North Dakota
California Maine Ohio
Colorado Maryland Oklahoma
Connecticut Massachusetts South Carolina
D.C. Michigan Tennessee
Delaware Minnesota Utah
Florida Missouri Virginia
Georgia Nebraska Washington
Hawaii Nevada Wisconsin
Idaho New Hampshire

Par for the course for a campaign that has long mocked the notion of a 50-state party. Heck, it has long mocked the notion of a 50-state nation.

Don't worry, Charlie ... IT'S OVER:

Clinton Camp Converging on New York Tuesday, and Shedding Staff Members of Hillary Clinton's advance staff received calls and emails this evening from headquarters summoning them to New York City Tuesday night, and telling them their roles on the campaign are ending, two Clinton staffers tell my colleague Amie Parnes

Tom Vilsack, Major Hillary Supporter, Says It's Over




Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, one of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters, said Sunday it's time for Hillary Clinton to acknowledge she has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination.

Thank you Blue! Do you know if Obama asked Clinton to be the VP? If not do you know who he might pick?

This is New York ... $hrillary has to "come home" ... even though she doesn't hail from this stae ...

We will require an accurate accounting ...

$hrillary can't "hold up" to an audit ...

$hrillary is gone ...

$hrillary can't even get back onto her New York $enate $eat ... once occupied by Bobby Kennedy, the Senator $hrillary disparaged ..

Say goodnight, Hillary ...

and

Say GODDBYE!

I am so sick of Hilary and her groupies blatantly lying about winning the popular vote. It's disgusting that her ego is so large that she can continue to hurt Obama out of spite by deceiving people about his electability. It's also that the media continually lets her and her supporters get away with dropping it in every talking head moment. She LOST the popular vote. The idea that they can pretend Obama wouldn't have won a single vote in Michigan is beyond disingenous. To claim that by counting votes from contests that were not contesting is like denying a professional sports team first place by retroactively claiming that they would now count the exhibition season games to determine the winner. What a pathetic joke.

One good thing about $hrillary still being in the race, Charlie, is that Senator Obama gets to do his "stump speech" at least 4-5 times a day and that kind of "air time" is expensive ...

$hrillary is toast; she's at home in the "elite" Westchester County enclave called Chappaqua ... tossing back whiskey shots and beer chasers.
