Clinton Wins 3 States Nets Maybe 12 Delegates

delegates, delegates, delegates.

i see that there are some people (those who have better things to do and haven't learned the ins and outs of delegates) who don't realize that even though clinton wins states, doesn't mean she wins and that there is virtually no way she can win, even if she wins the next 16 states.

obama's lead is simply too big.

last night for example, she'll end up with less than 12 net delegates. the texas caucus vote is still being counted. so far, clinton won 185 last night, with her three "big" states and obama has 173, so far, with his vermont win.

in fact, obama is ahead at this point.
not to say clinton isn't going to try other techniques or apply hope, as in if she keeps going, she hopes obama will blunder.
this is how it stands:

Obama: 1360 delegates
superdelegates: 199 (obama added 2 to this number today)
total delegates: 1559

Clinton: 1220 delegates
superdelegates: 240
total delegates: 1460
