Per CNN there are 4049 total delegates, Obama has 1860, Clinton has 1696. 3575 have been already decided so that means there are only 474 more to be decided. Clinton needs 329 to get to 2025 which is needed to win, Obama needs only 165 to win. I don't see much hope for Clinton. Am I missing something here?

Clinton moves the goal post to 2,200 and then when that doesn't work 3,000 and then when that doesn't work change the results to winner-take-all by state.

Clinton is a joke. She'll probably still be out trying to make her case even after the next president, McCain or Obama, is elected in November. Her campaign has been an embarassment. She failed to close the deal way back on Super Tuesday when she was heavily favored. Since then she has had many superdelegates switch their support from her to Obama.

She is egotistical. Her only plan at this point is to continue to hurt Obama to the point where he has no choice but to have her be his running mate. She's not in this for the American people, she's in this for herself.

Yeah, you are... Clinton and her supporter hate things like, "math", "facts", "reality", and "logic". That stuff is for latte sipping liberals who vote for Obama in states like Iowa.

The only reason for her to stay in the race at this point is to try to raise whatever money she can in an effort to pay pack the campaign loans she made to herself.
