  The numbers

  The media that hates Hillary so much won't tell anyone this but barring some kind of complete grand theft of the nomination or Obama getting caught with a hooker, the math is just not there for Hillary.

  To be viable she would have to win Ohio, Pennsylvania and texas all by 20 points or more. Then she would have get Florida and Michigan seated (and even if she did get MI seated she still only got half the votes) AND she would have to convince the super delegates to give her the nomination.

  Or let me put it this way, if Hillary Clinton won every state from here on out by 100% she still wouldn't have the number of pledged delegates she would need to win.

  All those people living in all those states that supposedly don't matter? Well, Hillary, they do and so do their votes. And every time the Clinton campaign tells those people that their votes don't count and they have just been the victims of some kind of cult movement, they drive a little deeper wedge into the democratic party.

  An attempt to somehow get the nomination by unconventional means after March 5th (assuming she doesn't win all of the March 4th states by 20% or more) would be the final straw.

  And if the democrats let her do it they would kill the party for the next 20 years.
