Fuzzy, wuzzy math


The Pennsylvania primary is over. The long, agonizing weeks of nonsensical campaigning at an end - at least for that state's primary.


And what have we learned? That, like many have already said, Obama can't be beaten mathematically and he will get the nomination.


He lost Pennsylvania. He knew he would, and yet he's still got more delegates that Clinton. Polls show he'll take North Carolina, pushing his numbers even that much higher. On the same day, a tight race in Indiana will give him even more delegates, regardless of who wins the popular vote.


The AP puts Obama at 1,714 delegates. Clinton has 1,589 by the same count. At this point in the race, Clinton must start winning every remaining primary by a wide margin to get the nod.


And she can't do it.


Winning elections must be a feeling like no other. Clinton feels great right now. But that feeling will ultimately get crushed in two weeks, maybe a little longer if she decides to continue this farce.


And the longer she goes, the better chance McCain has of taking it all come November.
