Nagourney: "At least one scenario where Clinton could win"
The prominent New York Times political reporter says a Clinton victory, though unlikely, is still possible.

    You're being far too charitable towards HRC's position in your "Delusional" post. You concede that even with MI and FL she would still be behind in delegate count, which seems to suggest those states would allow her to overtake Obama in the popular vote. To the contrary...

    Even WITH MI and FL, she would remain at least 300,000 votes behind Obama! In fact, if MI's "anyone but hillary" votes are given to Obama, it's closer to 400,000!

    Lots of folks in the HRC camp are laboring under the delusion that her big state wins give her an edge in the popular vote. No way... she's behind by every measure. Only Mark Penn and the media, looking ahead to some imaginary Obama collapse, gives her any shot whatsoever of pulling ahead in the popular vote.

    As Nagourney makes clear, her ONLY path to nomination is overturning the will of the voters with the supers. And that ain't gonna happen, no longer how many snide comments W.E.S. et al post on these boards.
