You might think that in the world's greatest democracy when it came down to deciding who's going to be president, it would be one man (or woman), one vote.
Of course, you might think a lot of things that aren't true. There have been plenty of stories recently about the math of reaching the magic Democratic delegate number: 2,025. Here's what the MSM has to say:
"Overall, Obama has 1,646 delegates to 1,508 for Clinton in the Associated Press' count, with 2,025 needed to clinch the nomination."
Some stories are claiming Clinton needs 65 percent of the remaining primaries and caucuses to overtake Obama. It might not be that much, but she definitely needs some heady wins in order to beef up her pledged delegate numbers, which is necessary to woo more superdelegates to her cause.
And she must might not be able to do it. Obama just needs to keep his loses on the good side of 40 percent, win a few more states and watch the superdelegates raise their banners for him. This is why the grumblings about Clinton bowing out are getting louder.
Everybody loses an underdog, but there's a difference between having a shot and your math just not adding up. Those grumblings are only going to get more frequent.
