John Q -- There's math to electoral results that I don't understand. A 55/45 win is considered pretty significant. Get over 60% of the vote and the media calls it a "mandate". Maybe that's the reality of the election world, but it sounds more to me like "You won, but don't dance in the streets." Guess I just don't understand elections.

  For one thing six weeks ago, when Clinton had a 20 point lead in Pa. polls, her handlers and her husband all said if she didn't have double-digit lead in Pa, she would have to drop out. She did not really get the double digit lead. The reason is it is impossible for her to even tie Obama in delegates overall unless she gets at least 60 percent of the vote. That means straws are being reached for, which is to be expected, however there is no way to legitimately win for her. It will have to be my manipulating the rules of the game, the fact that she continues means just that...willing to cheat to win the game. Which sadly makes me put her in the bag with Bush in the sense that integrity ain't part of the deal.
