Not Over Until The Lady In Pantsuit Sings

Hillary Clinton campaigned in West Virginia Monday, a day ahead of what is supposed to be a blow-out victory for her in the Mountain State, but one that will be mostly hollow.
Even if Clinton wins 100 percent of the vote and the accompanying 275 delegates available — including superdelegates — in the six remaining Democratic contests, she will end up short of the 2,025 delegates needed to win the presidential nomination. All the Democratic contests are proportional allocation of delegates.
Even if Florida and Michigan, which were penalized for holding their primaries early, are counted, it is very difficult for Clinton to overcome Barack Obama in the numbers race
