Clinton’s Math, Like Her Bosnia Story Is All Fantasy
If you tell yourself a lie often enough, pretty soon you start to believe it as the truth. This seems to be a trait of Hillary’s when she is talking about her “lead” in the popular vote total.
“More people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent,” she’s been proudly telling anybody who will listen after her Pennsylvania win.
I’m not a math wizard by any stretch of the imagination (even though I still rely on my trusty slide rule to verify the tricky calculations), but simple addition and subtraction seems to be out of Hillary’s comprehension when making her claim. Maybe she should spend some her new found campaign contributions on buying her aides some calculators instead of forcing them to use broken abacus’s to add up the figures!
This morning, Hillary’s aides proclaimed that with Pennsylvania’s big victory, Clinton had surged ahead of Barack Obama in the popular-vote total. But they added two big careful caveats: this scenario would hold true only if Michigan and Florida’s votes are counted (the states were stripped of their delegates for holding primaries early in violation of party rules) and if caucus states aren’t counted.
Only two big problems with their calculations: they are wrong. The Florida and Michigan votes do not count because they broke the Party’s rules, and both candidates agreed that they wouldn’t be counted from the start. Secondly, the caucus states are counted, period.
In other words, Hillary is once again blowing smoke up our asses in an attempt to have us believe that she is winning the nomination battle. But when the smoke finally settles, and reality sets back in, the true facts are that Hillary is still behind Barrack in votes and pledged delegates. This is fact, regardless of what version Hillary’s fairy tale wants us to believe.

Yeah she’s living in la- la land if she thinks she’s ahead. What she ought to do is withdraw!
She will only end up embarrassing herself further in the end anyway. It’s time for her to take one for the team, and quit being so selfish and realize that there are far more important things to worry about than her ego.
That of course is just my opinion anyway.
