Politics and math

Again, this isn't a partisan blog and I usually don't read Daily Kos, but they have a great post on the math involved in delegate counts. You can read it here for yourself.

Mathematically, it'll take a whole lot for Clinton to win. Chances are, she won't. There are many folks that want her to drop out. I don't for two reasons: the continued debate and vetting process is good for our country (as I am convinced that either one of them will defeat McCain in the general) and this process is important because we as a nation need to make sure that every vote counts and what one person does on the ballot does in fact matter.

In America, politics isn't about leading, it's about winning. Sadly, that will continue as long as we have vested interests that dominate the discussion for the few (read: rich and corporate) and a media that continually exhibiting traits of a cutter.
