Hillary Needs to Win 56% of All Delegates from Here on Out
MSNBC, in their Chesapeake primary coverage, just said Hillary needs to win 56% of all delegates in the rest of the primary/caucas contests in order to win the pledged delegate count, and therefore the nomination, assuming Super-delegates do not disrespect the will of Democratic voters nationwide.
That's a very steep hill to climb with the way Obama has been clobering Hillary with double-digit margins lately.
Seems that, save anything unexpected, it's now Obama's nomination to lose.

Does it seem like she's a poor loser? Not congratulating him, two election nights in a row?

I agree. Not very gracious. She's in fantasy land now, hoping that her long-time supporters don't notice what's going on as she quixotically tries a Gulianni-like strategy of ingoring the present for some future potential win(s).

Yes, she is not gracious at all, she did the same thing in SC, not even acknowledging the election happened, let along congratulating him. She is so small and petty, and I'm sure both of the Clintons are soooooo pissed right now.
And really, I have no idea where she expects to get these wins, because even if you add Florida and Michigan and Texas and Ohio, and is still probably going to lose most of the others...she can't pull it off, not without a superdelegate coup, which won't happen.

I for one won't feel comfortable until she officially drops out...I don't trust a Clinton with its back against a wall, talk about a feral beast..

She'll never drop out. She's Gollum to Obama's Frodo.

I didn't see her speech, but I don't think it was ungracious; at least she spoke. After all, after Obama lost NV, he left without even giving a speech at all. Much as I love the guy, that kind of disappointed me.
