The Most Decisive Day…
Hillary and Obama are at the end of what is going to be the last leg of this race, and they are not finishing the fight without a few good last minute punches squeezed in. Obama with an Upper Cut and Hillary with her own right hook. Both candidates have released typical last minute grab-your-opponent-and-slap-them-with-negativity ads that try to, of course, induce voters to think one way or the other?
Here’s Obama’s Ad:
Here’s Hillary’s Ad:
I’ll let you judge them for yourself, since no amount of swaying can make the case for either candidate here – I mean… They’re both being negative, so what’s the point? Rocks trumps…. Anyways.
But, really, without picking a side? How does Hillary REALLY propose making sure the OIL COMPANIES pay the tax? When they have been profiting like mad these past few years? Anyone?
Consider this when thinking about where the race is going from MSNBC’s FirstRead:
*** The Math Game: Both candidates seemed very exhausted during their morning show appearances on TODAY and Morning Joe. And that probably isn’t surprising — tomorrow is the last BIG primary day. Despite the fact that another month of contests is still on the docket, nearly half of all remaining delegates will get handed out tomorrow. And the math will be a lot more crystal clear after tomorrow, both in delegates and the popular vote. Following Guam, there are now 404 pledged delegates up grabs, and 187 of them will be decided on Tuesday. Plus, per our count, there are 268 undeclared superdelegates. Here are the basics of what each candidate needs: Assuming he wins half of the delegates tomorrow (93), Obama needs just 38% of ALL remaining delegates to get to the magic number of 2,025. If Clinton wins 94 delegates on Tuesday, she will need 66% of all remaining delegates. In addition, assuming that delegate split tomorrow, then Clinton will need 85% of all remaining PLEDGED delegates to catch Obama for the lead in that category. Moreover, if Clinton simply wanted to cut Obama’s pledged delegate lead to 100, she’d need to win 62% of all remaining delegates after tomorrow. As we’ve noted before, the math is certainly difficult for Clinton.
Tomorrow’s contests are going to be fun to say the least. Tomorrow will define the rest of this campaign and we will likely understand who WILL win the nomination much before my original prediction, and that of many commentators.
Will tomorrow turn out to be the most decisive day in this election process? Let’s hope so, so we can get off our rumps and start stumping against McCain.
