Fork Hillary 3: The Final Forking

Update from CNN:

*"The latest Gallup daily tracking poll suggests Democratic voters are beginning to coalesce around Obama.

He holds a 16-point lead over Clinton in Gallup’s daily tracking poll released Monday. He has the support of 55 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, while Clinton’s support is at 39 percent.

Previously, Obama’s largest lead over Clinton was 11 percentage points, in daily tracking polls conducted in mid-May and mid-April, according to Gallup."*

Even if they rule completely in her favor, and don’t give him any of Michigan’s uncommitted (read: delegates that would have gone to Obama or Edwards), she’d still be behind by 80 delegates at this point, according to DCW. Using very round numbers, this means he’d need around 200 more delegates, while she’d need around 300. Given the recent trend of superdelegate endorsements, and assuming a 50/50 split of the remaining pledged delegates, I can’t envision a scenario where she gets supers declaring at her at a rate of 2:1. So, yes, I think your hypothetical is really that far fetched.

If they don’t accept it, the issue may be decided for them. They could end up with something far different – or nothing.

Today’s superdelegate tally (so far): Obama 5, Clinton 0.

:slight_smile:

Karl Rove likes me… First it was SNL now it’s Karl Rove…?

I mean really, has it reached that point now?

Yeah, but Obama’s got Warren Buffet.
In another development, the Clinton campaign has announced that three out of four wanted war criminals think she’d make the better President. :slight_smile:

So, any opinons on Hillary’s new campaign poster?

Jesus! I saw that last night somewhere online but I thought it was a parody!

She looks like a Japanese emperor.

Welcome back, Shayna. How was your trip? Has your boss finally decided to switch allegiances and back the presumptive nominee Obama? :slight_smile:

Hi Ono! Trip was awesome! Denmark is absolutely beautiful this time of year, and it was lovely to visit with our family over there. They’re such wonderful people and we had a really great time. Thanks for asking!

The bossman hasn’t yet started fully supporting Obama, but he’s been calling for Hillary to quit the race for weeks (if not months) and won’t do anything further to help her campaign. He’s completely backed out of it. And once Obama is officially the nominee, I know he will support him completely. He’s a staunch Democrat afterall, and I’m confident he’ll do whatever it takes to get a Democrat into the White House, regardless of who it is.

It has a true Soviet look to it. My word, that’s awful. What are these people thinking?

The truth comes out in the end. :smiley:

Hush! Using phrases like “presumptive nominee Obama” will unleash the wrath of Hillary on us all!

Don’t forget that the race is far from over. If Hillary starts tracking and whacking Obama superdelegates at a rate of 5 delegates per day this will reverse the trend and discourage further supers thinking of endorsing him which should give her an edge once Florida and Michigan votes are included.

If you cover up her face, she has televangelist hair.

Unleash the kamikazes!

I think they were looking for a counter to this Obama poster, which I’m not particularly keen on, but apparently I’m an outlier.

And combined with the two from Sunday, that brings Obama’s superdelegate magic number down to ~30.

(Based on the assumption that he racks up ~80 delegates in the five remaining primaries. DCW has his overall number down to 110.)

She’s letting it be known that, at this stage of her demise, she has an Eight-Year Plan.

I’m personally “meh” on that one, too. They’re both just a little too Socialist Realism to me…
