Nope - not the Giants-Bears. Not even a low scoring basketball game or crazy scoring baseball game (although a decent record for a baseball team in mid-May).
What's 27-14? One of the likely scores after Tuesday's primary.
States:
Obama 27
Clinton 14
(On the GOP side, McCain is leading 18-8 and they're already saying he's the nominee.)
Delegate wise, the Democratic race looks like this:
Pledged Delegates:
Obama 1202
Clinton 1042
With Superdelegates (according to Politico):
Obama 1361
Clinton 1267
A Senator in her second term (barely) without any major achievements (legislative or otherwise) lost 11 straight primaries (including some drubbings), has lost the majority of states, the majority of votes and so on. And yet, somehow, she thinks she should stay in the race.
And to overcome Obama? She needs 65% of the remaining states. Which, considering how IN, NC, MS, MT, etc etc are looking, is very unlikely. Even the states where she has a lead - it's not large enough to catch up. She needs to blank Obama from here on out just to catch up - and there's no way she can come close to that.
So what do we do? Do we continue to let the Senator (with a great platform, lots of money and friends) keep the party at odds with each other? Do we continue to let the former front-runner make the GOP argument for them? Do we continue to embrace slash and burn politics?
It's time for her to step back and allow the leader (of pledged delegates, states won, total delegates, fundraising) to go forth and make his case against John McCain for the Presidency. There are comebacks in the 4th quarter, in the last few seconds, in the last few days of the season. Hail Mary's have worked - right? I haven't seen one ever work, but you've got to have hope. Oh wait - she decried hope.
To take this a little bit further - we're playing that one-game playoff to see who makes it to the next level. This isn't two teams with the same record - it's one team with a great record and another with a so-so record but is well known. Meanwhile, our opponents, the people we NEED to beat, are resting up, studying the moves of the Clinton Team to see how to beat Team Obama and getting their face all over the newspapers and magazines, to drum up some fan support.
Tuesday night, it'll be 27-14 (at worst for Obama and 29-12 at best) - it's time to head to the locker room to get ready for the next game - the Super Bowl of American politics.
