(Urgent) Obama extends his delegate lead over Clinton!!

Hello world-wide web this is Adam58 bringing you, once again, the inside scoop on the delelgate divide that has recently occured between Obama and Clinton.

According to the results of last nights primaries Barack Obama has gained nearly a 100 pledged delegate lead over Hillary Clinton, which ultimately means that we are even further away from a possible candidate in the Democratic field. One thing about last night is for sure, and that is the fact that Barack Obama has had a significant upswing in politcal momentum due to the fact that he has now beat Hillary in the last 10 primaries or caucuses (in a row I might add). But neither here nor there, what we should really be looking at is how feasible it is for Hillary to still come out on top.

According to calcualtions made my CNN and Fox News it is nearly impossible for her to regain her lead over Obama in the pledged delegate category (which ultimately makes the super delegates even more valuable). According to numerous reports, at this point in time Hillary would have to win 58% of the vote in both Texas and Ohio to catch back up to Obama (however this is highly unlikely because we Texans including Hispanics actually support Obama, sorry Hillary) in the pledged delegates. The other alternative is that Obama wins both Texas and Ohio which makes it even harder for Hillary possibly even impossible for Hillary to win the nomination. If Obama were to win both Texas and Ohio, Hillary Clinton would be required to win at least 65% of the vote in all of the other democratic primaries and caucuses to even catch up with Barack Obama in the pledged delegate category. Which means for Hillary that Texas and Ohio oare of utmost importance to her because if she doesn't win ether of those states she will not win the nomination.

If Hillary however does come back into the neck and neck race it will be up to the dreaded super delegates who are being bribed out the butt as to who gets the democratic nomination.

As always I will leave you with a question: Do you believe it is possible for Hillary to win both Texas and Ohio and possible get back into the race or even win the nomination?

Wow, I knew that he'd end up taking the lead, but by that much, in that little time? Wow.

I just hope that O'Bama continues this progress throughout the entire election, and doesn't stop after he beats Clinton, because he's dealing with republicans now, and they'll probably stick to Romney (or Huckabee if he gets very lucky) and it's a totally different game then.

I think that if O'Bama becomes the next president of the United States, the world will probably see the US in a new light. That we aren't some rich white folks trying to invade every country we can. As much as I hate to admit it, this race is being decided by race and gender more than anything else, and if the US has a face like O'Bama's, the US will probably be hated less (or even liked depending on how O'Bama does).

Though I am thinking too far ahead, but my prediction is that O'Bama won't stop winning over Clinton.

yes we can!
