Just a quick something to note:

If Hillary goes 50-50 in pledged delegates from here on out (certainly not unfeasible), and wins 60% of the remaining unpledged delegates (she's won about 60% of the ones who've endorsed so far), she beats Obama by 3 delegates in the end, even without MI & FL being restored.

So don't declare her dead just yet.

Hmm? I thought the numbers required were higher than that.

Unpledged delegates are mainly superdelegates, right?  I'm guessing that's the point, although I suspect it won't break that way.  But who knows?

Well he did win it in terms of delegates, though I agree that popular vote should be more important (emphasis on should).

I wasn't really stressing the importance of either - I was pointing this out as the primary reason why the 50 superdelegates didn't appear.

My taunt there is more towards the usual suspects who like to discuss this issue.  Smiley

Just FYI, according to the AP, the final PA total was Clinton 85-73, according to the unofficial 100% report from the state on the CDs.

The only change I noted from our first round-up is that CD11 is 4-1 Clinton, instead of 3-2 Clinton, as was mentioned earlier.  She held onto CD-07 by about 1,600 votes.  And even though it doesn't matter because it's 3-3, Obama won CD-06 by about 35 votes.
