Hilary Clinton has lost!!!!!! It's over!

It's been over for a long time now, but Senator Clinton has managed to hoodwink the media into playing the expectations game -- where people's expectations are more relevant that the reality of who is winning more states and delegates. But reality has a way of catching up with you.

I looked at the number of delegates Clinton and Obama had before the Ohio and Texas contest on March 4th and how many they have now. What do you think the result was? The media has been talking non-stop about Hillary's momentum and how Obama has been stumbling. So, that must mean she has really closed his lead, right?

Well, the reality is that Senator Clinton has lost 53 delegates since then to Barack Obama. He has widened his delegate lead to 155 delegates. She has absolutely no chance of winning this race. None.

How much clearer does this have to be before we call it what it is? She has no momentum. She does not have enough pledged delegates or superdelegates. She will not win the delegate race or the popular vote. She can't go on much longer like this. She will have to face reality very, very soon.

The only question that remains is whether she will be pushed out the door by the rest of the Democratic Party or whether she leaves voluntarily. Stay tuned for how that turns out.

Anyone who's done the math agrees that Hillary Clinton can't possibly catch Barack Obama in elected delegates. Even her own staff admits this. And she has a minuscule chance of catching him in popular vote (she can then use that as an argument for why the superdelegates should vote for her). So, why stay around in the race wounding the person who is incredibly likely to be the eventual Democratic nominee?

Here's why:





Like I said in the video, I'm not sure even she's that cynical, but it certainly explains a possible motive behind what appears to be a fruitless race for her at this point.

Last night, Hillary Clinton won by 10 points in Ohio, 18 points in Rhode Island and three points in Texas. But she also lost Vermont by 20 points and lost the Texas caucus (Texas has a caucus and a primary; she won the primary). So, according to the latest count by the Associated Press, she picked up a 12 delegate advantage last night.

Barack Obama won more delegates in just South Carolina. He beat Clinton by a 13 delegate margin in that state. So, Obama picked up a bigger delegate lead in just South Carolina than Hillary Clinton did in all the states combined last night.

As elated as the Clinton team is today -- and they deserve a lot of credit for being tough fighters to the end -- the math is simply undoable for her. Obama still has about a lead of about 140 in pledges delegates. Even if you count in the super delegates -- which in all fairness to the voters, you shouldn't -- he still has about 100 delegate lead. Unless something goes catastrophically wrong for Obama, she simply cannot make up that lead.

Hillary Clinton should enjoy a well-earned win from last night, but she should also come to the realization that she didn't win by enough and she is basically done.

Senator Clinton's campaign announced late last week that they would disregard the wishes of the Democratic primary voters and win based on "super delegates" in the party establishment even if they didn't win more delegates in the elections. That's a terrible move.

It would get very, very ugly if the person who won the most amount of pledges delegates (those are the ones that are elected based on the primaries and caucuses) did not get the nomination. But as we explain in the video below that is exactly what Hillary Clinton's people are promising to do:




This cannot stand.
