Comments on Surrender, Dorothy

She hasn't lost in her world, Dan. She's expecting that thing you're scared of to happen. Well, at least she's hoping that will happen.

"If she wins 37 percent of the delegates in the 10 remaining contests, including Pennsylvania... ... she will need 99 percent of the uncommitted superdelegates to win the nomination.

Mrs. Clinton currently has the support of 53 percent of the committed delegates."

there really isn't such thing as a committed superdelegate, they could change at any time, so its really just a guide of how things are looking at any one point in time.

Hardly impossible. If she wins 58% of the vote, she'll need 58% of the superdelegates to win. All she needs is Obama to pull a Dean Scream, and he's had a few close calls already.

This post is so unbelievably sexist that it makes me want to scream hysterically like a girl and clutch my pearls in horror.

This could have been made months ago. Sigh.

One correction here. When you speak of 58% of the remaining vote, you're really referring to 58% of the remaining pledged/elected delegates. If there's anything I've learned about the intricacies of delegate allocation during this long campaign, it's that x% of the votes doesn't translate into x% of the allocated delegates.

So to get 58% of the remaining pledged delegates, Hillary would need more than 58% of the remaining votes. How much more is something to be explained by the Chuck Todds of the world.

Odd post title considering Dorothy won.

Well yes, Hillary can too, assuming that Obama will melt when doused with cold water.

Um...

Doesn't this make the case that Hillary still has a chance?

I mean, that's certainly what it looks like. That's what I'm getting out of it. What am I missing here?
