a World Series game score is 16 to 6 going into the ninth inning. The commentators are desperate to say anything that will keep the audience tuned in -- so they natter about the four-run eighth inning that brought the score to within 10 runs. The game is effectively over, but in the case of Clinton rules, the argument is that only the last two innings count.

"the all important popular vote." First no one can really count it because of the mix of elections and caucuses. Second, the party rules give NO WEIGHT to the popular vote. If my party wants to keep me happy, it will NOT screw Washington (and the other "unimportant" states) that have given Obama a margin of victory that cannot be overcome--that is, unless the rules are changed in the ninth inning.

Al Gore? None, for the simple fact that no matter how democratic it seems, we have a republican (small r) election process, and the same goes for the nomination process. Obama's DH is pounding Hillary, and she's trying to play National League rules.

analogy before I saw yours. You are right, Clinton needs more runs than outs, and she's only breaking even at best considering how few contests are left.
