    Addition: The lost art

    "don't get this, I really don't. She wins the bigger states, she polls better in the states we have to win, she carries Latinos, which we have to carry, and yet the pundits--like it was their decision--keep hammering at her to get out of the race."

    Well, it's called addition. You add up the delegates that Obama won, and the delegates that Hillary won, and Obama has more.

    I know that, for many persons, math is hard. Addition is hard. 1+1=2. Clinton delegates are 1 and Obama delegates are 1. When you add, even if it is hard and one of those complicated things, you get more for Obama.

    Whoops. It's the reality-based community again.
