Here's dignity for you: She keeps winning.
Nope. She is behind on every metric. If she kept winning, she would be ahead. Not behind.
I 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.
Those states where we have to win? that is because we limit the states that are in contention by ignoring the other states.
Because Obama has outraised McCain, and can thus outspend him a more agressive 50 state policy means that the Democrats can drive McCain to spend funds in states where Hillary would just not be viable, making the race easier in the big states while possibly turning more states purple.
Has this ever even happened before? RFK had less of a shot than Hillary does. Did anybody tell him to get out of the race?
They probably did.
Your guy leads by a handful of delegate votes, racked up mainly in red states where few people live, and which we will never carry.
Are you sure about that?
