Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    New math?

    Even if MI & Fl were counted Hillary would still be behind in popular votes. I doubt very much she is going to win WV by 70% The only state she has won by 70% was AK and that was early in the game. Hillary did not even win NY by 70%. On the other hand Obama has won many states by 65%. Hillary's claim in Big state wins is bogus as they were all under double digits when all the final votes were counted: CA 8.3%, TX 1%(primary) TX Caucus (Obmama), PA 9%, OH 8-9%.Besides Obama won in high population districts in all races, thus giving him a pledged delegate lead.

    There are enough educated voters in WV to put Obama in close range of Hillary. Even if she won WV by 60%. She cannot catch up. There re only 28 delegates in play in WV. However in OR there are 51 delegates. He will win OR, MT, SD. It will be close in Kentucky, like it was in IN.

    Hopefully she will drop out gracefully in June if not on May 20.

    Besides as of this morning he only needs 155 total delegates to secure the nomination.
