What the hell am i suppose to do? I voted in my primary and now I am telling everyone I know to make their choice, see who wins and unite behind that person. Either the party will and the Dems will win or they won't and it will be a very close election. I know that.
The second point is silly. First, what you said was Obama only wins the districts that have people in them. Wow, devastating.
The last point is nonsense. First, their have been seven primaries since Wisconsin. Assuming by "significant" states you mean ones Wisconsin size or bigger there have been three. Texas (which he actually won), Ohio and Pennsylvania. I guess saying what you said sounds a lot more impressive than Obam lost Ohio, Pennsylvania and the popular vote but not the delegate count in Texas.
Here is another way to say it. Since 2/9 (Wisconsin), Hillary's "big surge" has netted her (drumroll please....) ONE delegate! (cue fanfare!!!)
Obama's post Super-Tuesday surge netted him 113 delegates.
But its all about Super Delegates, right? During Hillary's surge? Hillary has grabbed 27, Obama has picked up 86 So the Hillary surge you describe has meant -61 super delegates and +1 pledged for a net total of -60.
Obama's Post-Super Tuesday surge?
22 for Clinton vs. 32 for Obama. For a net of +10 Supers and +113 pledged for a pickup of +123 for Obama during his surge.
So, yeah, he's really collapsed since Wisconsin.
