Did anyone else see CNN's hypothetical projections yesterday?

If Obama wins EVERY remaining state with a 70% to 30% margin (unlikely), he STILL doesnt have enough pledged delegates to lock it in.

If Clinton wins EVERY remaining state with a 70% to 30% margin (unlikely), she STILL doesnt have enough pledged delegates to lock it in.

This one is going to go to the convention and superdelegates if one or the other doesnt drop out. It's pretty much mathematically impossible to lock it in with pledged delegates. Thats because there is no winner take all for dems. Gonna be a clusterfuck, especially with Florida and Michigan having zero delegates because the DNC decided to punish those voters.

On the Republican side, even if Huckabee wins EVERY remaining state with a huge margin, McCain will still lock it in with pledged delegates. That one is a done deal unless McCain has some horrible accident or medical issue.

On the underdog thing. It's almost comical now because Obama's endorsers are still calling him the underdog, and one said today that he'll be the underdog until he's elected president. Idiots are going to blow it by playing stupid games that is 100% exactly like politics as usual if they're not careful with this thing.
