Stop torturing me! Watching Obama and his campaign trickle out these delegates slowly throughout the day is killing me. The suspense! It’s like the countdown to New year’s Eve! I just sit at my desk and watch the Obama delegate clock:
31.5
30.5
30.0
29.5
28.5
28.0
27.895686685585 (round up)
Goodness gracious. I want to take a lunch break but this dwindling delegate math is so riveting I can’t break away. I think I’ll order out.
Let me just say that since it looks like Hillary Clinton won’t concede tonight she really is robbing Obama of a clear cut victory. She could have seen the writing on the wall and she could have looked at the delegate clock and then decided to drop out and let Obama have his moment tonight. That doesn’t look like it will happen. The event tonight in Minnesota with Obama will “feel” like a nomination victory but until she drops out, it isn’t final. No matter what the numbers say.
