Clinton ahead in popular & Electoral College votes but behind in Democratic delegates and apparently losing - what a great system they have
Clinton 277, Obama 151
She has won 16 states with enough Electoral College votes to elect a president.
That’s according to Real Clear Politics.
Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton’s racist states:
Arizona 10, Arkansas 6, California 55, Florida 25, Massachusetts 12, Michigan 17, New Hampshire 4, New Jersey 15, New Mexico 5, New York 31, Ohio 20, Oklahoma 7, Pennsylvania 21, Rhode Island 4, Tennessee 11, Texas 34.
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama’s sexist states:
Alaska 3, Colorado 9, DC 3, Delaware 3, Georgia 15, Hawaii 4, Idaho 4, Illinois 21, Kansas 6, Louisiana 9, Maryland 10, Minnesota 10, Mississippi 6, Nebraska 5, North Dakota 3, South Carolina 8, Utah 5, Vermont 3, Virginia 13, Wisconsin 10, Wyoming 3.
Nice trainwreck, Democrats.

Nice trainwreck you have there, Democrats.
Looking at the numbers at Real Clear Politics, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton has a lead of 121,943 votes after the Pennsylvania, if you count Michigan and Florida. True that is problematic, but if you are going to include caucuses, where there are no secret ballots and where second choices for Obama count, then Florida and Michigan matter.
Besides that is an awfully large number of Electoral College votes to cede to Republican Sen. John McCain.
The dream team for Democrats has become a nightmare. Not to belabor the point but there is barely a scintilla of difference politically between these two politically. The only difference, really, is one is a black man and the other is a white woman.
That is why Norman Hsu and Tony Rezko matter. Character counts. Neither one meets my litmus test, although I am now giving major points to her for tenacity. Obama cannot seal the deal now, just as Clinton could not seal the deal in January.
As Jennifer Parker of ABC News pointed out: “While some party officials are wringing their hands about the bitter tone of the Democratic campaign, worried it will turn off independents and undecided voters and damage their chances against Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the fall, others say despite the tone, voters mobilized to overturn eight years of the Bush administration and will rally behind either candidate if they win the nomination. ”
You have two affirmative action candidates. One who skyrocketed through Chicago politics, the other who coat-tailed her husband. Who can step in to save the party? Al Gore? Jimmy Carter? (He has a term left.) George McGovern?
UPDATE: The Clintons noticed.
