For those of us paying attention, and with a minimal grasp of grade school mathematics, things are increasingly bleak for Hillary.
Here is the delegate count....

- Obama is up by 160 pledged delegates
- When the super delegates are factored in, he is still up by 124 total delegates
Notice also:
Additionally, Obama picked up 4 more delegates this week in IL http://electioninspection.wordpress.com/ 2008/03/13/obama-nets-four-delegates-in- illinois/
So, including her "big wins" in Ohio and Texas, Hillary has lost 6 delegates since March 4
But Pennsylvania will change everything?
Which will be offset by North Carolina.....

Where Obama will get those 9 delegates back....
There are no winner-take-all primaries for the Democrats, as we know. Obama will be very competitive in all or most of the remaining contests. She can't catch him. She can only tarnish him.
Sadly, at least she is succeeding at that.
As is clealy evident by the new polling out this morning, Obama is opening a sizable lead in Texas and closing in in Ohio. Without big HRC wins in both states, the comeback kid cannot comeback. It's now a math problem. And a foregone conclusion.

The only question remaining is whether she will announce the suspension of her campaign Tuesday night or Wednesday afternoon.
