Democracy for Vancouver

Not to be too snarky, but according to the AP, Clinton won 82 of 158 delegates allocated by the PA primary: a whopping 52%.

Those delegates bring her count up from a pre-PA 1,592.5 to 1,674.5, which takes her from 78.6 of the necessary 2,025 delegates for the nomination to a respectable 82.7% (a rise of 4.1%).

Obama, on the other hand, went from 85.1% of 2,025 pre-PA to 88.7% post-PA (a rise of 3.6%).

Hillary needs to win at least 77.9% of the vote in all 9 of the remaining primaries in order to win the nomination - something she hasn’t come close to doing in any single primary to date.

Obama needs only 28.9%.

I’m not an Obama true believer, but I do believe he is the better of the two candidates, and I am also profoundly worried about what this continued slugfest will do to our chances in the fall. (Not to mention Rev. Wright’s current publicity tour - time for a long missionary trip to Tahiti, Reverend.)

Please, Hillary: for the good of the party, for the good of the country, for the good of your future and your legacy, it’s time to gracefully bow out.

But I’m not sure graceful submission to fate is in Hillary’s DNA.
