Not if Karl Rove is counting!
When DID Karl and Richard Mellon Scaife become Democratic strategists?

4. I'll see your 68% and raise you
If Hillary got 75% of all the remaining delegates (302 of 403 total), she would still lose (2025-1720 = 305).:D

24. Technically I think there are 8-10 Edwards delegates still in play too
75% of those too would put her over the top.

As.................if.

12. Edit to change the numbers
My original number had NOBODY winning except Karl Rove. :scared:

So it went from 68 to 72.

If she got 78, she still wouldn't win though. :P

25. Well, now. I'm coming up with her now needing 80% to win (heh, heh)
She's at 1780, which is 245 short of 2025. There's 299 total delegates left, and we'll throw in Edwards' remaining 9 for a total of 308.
245 of 308 is a whopping 80% needed by Hillary.

OTOH, Obama needs 64 of the remaining 308, or 21% to win.:9

13. Math is so irrational.
Let's recruit more states into the union so we could extend this another 4-5 months. :sarcasm:

17. Yes, Clinton will win the popular vote
if you count only states she's won and/or cheated in.

If you include states she hasn't won, then no, she hasn't won the popular vote. :crazy:
