The next couple of weeks should be interesting. |
The polls originally had her up by 20 points. That's a whole 10 point difference than the actual results. Even before the election, almost every poll I saw had here winning the state by double digits. It was a victory, but not nearly as good as most people were predicting, or as good as she needed for that matter. Also, Obama only outspent her 2:1. Still a large difference, but it was money well spent considering it probably played a part in halving her lead.
Responding to your other post, I agree she could still win the popular. I added the "currently favored" just in case he ended up falling behind. Remember, though, that PA had a lot of Hillary support and was the biggest state left by a good margin. I don't see her getting nearly as many votes in upcoming states. As for Florida and Michigan, they both have their issues that need resolved. Michigan was an absolute mess considering Obama wasn't even on the ballot. Florida's a little different considering no candidate campaigned there. They need to reach some sort of compromise on what to do with those states. However, even if she was awarded the 38 delegates from the Florida results, she'd still be 100 delegates under. That leaves her requiring around 60% of the remaining delegates. I'm not saying a win is impossible, I'm just saying it's not very likely.
