...38% of the remaining delegates were handed out last Tuesday and she barely made a single digit dent, one that will be wiped out by Wyoming and Mississippi...think about that for a minute...her gains (the only + delegate day she has had on the campaign) will be erased by two of the smallest delegate handouts (.5% total of those remaining as of last Tuesday)...

March 4 was her last big chance, and she failed. She failed to make any significant inroads into Obama's pledged delegate lead.

The problem is that she is staying in the race, because numerous articles have explained the huge amounts of hatred the Clintons have towards Obama. I wouldn't be surprised if she's just in it now to sabotage Obama so he loses to McCain in the fall.

... of the media is based on their inability to do math.  I think they have run the numbers and know exactly how impossible a task, short of overturning the popular vote, it is for Clinton to get the nomination.

So why are they not reporting it?  Simple...  it makes for good news cycles...  The media LOVES a dogfight... especially a negative one.  That's one of he reasons you hear them pushing the "when will Obama go negative" meme.  It leaves them breathless in anticipation of what they get to report next.

it doesn't take calculus, folks.

It's not even math. It's just bean-counting. Anyone can do it, and those who choose to ignore the results are doing so because they don't like them, not because they can't understand them.

that winning by a TKO won't do it. When you up against the champ you've got to knock him out.

We have to win decisively and without doubt or it will be taken from us.

It's simple arithmetic. Such a shame that adding up columns of numbers seems to be such a challenge for "some" :-)

Although I often mutter (okay, sometimes scream) that the pundits on TV are blathering idiots, only a small minority of them actually are idiots.  Some are clearly partisans with a particular motivation -- I'm thinking Joe Scarborough or Paul Begala here -- and some are a bit too enamored of the dirty tactics of campaigning (e.g. Chris Matthews).  They aren't completely innumerate, however, and even if they were they have people on their teams who can explain the delegate situation more-or-less clearly (Chuck Todd is the best at this).

No, the media simply putting its own self-interest above the reality of the situation.  Since news programming has become less about news, facts, and actual investigation, and more about entertainment in recent years, more and more so-called journalists have become accustomed to thinking about everything in terms of the news story, rather than the underlying reality.  I think many pundits have almost convinced themselves that this race is still up for grabs, even though the reality of the math and basic common sense suggests that it is all but over (barring a major Obama gaffe).
