...no, that she's been running on fumes for months by exceeding expectations, and last night the expectations drastically exceeded her. she's been hemorrhaging money and delegates and now she's in a bigger popular vote hole than she was before pennsylvania. both in terms of numbers and narrative, last night was the kill stroke. (bet she still takes west virginia and kentucky, though.)

it's not a mantra, dude, it's simple electoral math, and it's been true since the end of february, which is why so many chorus boys have been dutifully repeating it

You know I was going to make a bunch of smarmy jokes about how Clinton shouldn't be so proud of winning sections of the population that aren't going to go for a democrat in he general election. But then I remembered that Clinton has basically already lost and it'll be much more fun to watch as she and her supports reach a level of crazy that is so massive it will cause them to collapse in upon themselves. I call this amount of crazy "Ron Paul's number."
