Two States Don't Stop No Show....

So let's recap:

Clinton claims victory in 3 out of 4 of last week's primaries, and the media and her supporters practically party in the streets about the "underdog" breaking Obama's 11 state winning streak.

BUT HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE!

What did she really win? Here's the numbers before and after last week's primaries....


BACK ON FEBURARY 26
Obama: 1, 192 delegates

Clinton: 1, 036 delegates

NOW, AS OF MARCH 12
Obama: 1,379 delegates

Clinton: 1,230 delegates

[source]

Keep in mind that these current numbers only include the delegates Clinton and Obama got in the Texas primary, which is exactly the same since the results were so close - 92 delegates each, despite her "win." On top of that, the delegates alloted from the Texas caucuses, which Obama won with a significant margin, haven't been added to these numbers yet. This will increase his lead even more.

So ultimately, despite all the media "oohs" and "aahs" about Clinton's comeback, OBAMA WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE HIS LEAD!

I mean, how fly is that? Dude doesn't even have to win states to stay in the lead. Which makes you wonder what all the hoopla about Clinton was about. Hmmm. Maybe they were doing that "Hucka-math"..........
