Why can't HILLARY CLINTON close the deal?
We've heard, ad infintum, the BS about why Obama can't 'close the deal'.
But, why can't Hillary Clinton Close the deal?
Why is she behind him in every conceivable metric? Why is she behind in pledged delegates? Why is she behind in the popular vote (and don’t insult my intelligence by trying to pass that sheer nonsense the morons at certain pro-Clinton blogs are lapping up)? Why are super delegates flocking to Obama, while Hillary has picked up only a handful in the past few months. Why has she won fewer states? Why is she trumpeting her narrow delegate pickup in PA, when it is less than the number of net delegates Obama picked up in a variety of other states? Why is she behind in fund raising? Why, with her starting financial advantage and name recognition, was she held to a tie on Super Tuesday?
Why to those questions and a hundred more like them.
She's Hillary Clinton. She might not have the same amount of money to spend. High name recognition, impressive early poll numbers, on the political scene since 1992. WHY CAN'T
SHE "CLOSE THE DEAL?"

Somone that ISN'T in the LEAD in a CONTEST cannot be expected to CLOSE anything.

I think she will close the deal. Women, many of them African American, are starting to realize that they are the "majority". I think the final figures in the North Carolina primary are going to surprise more than one.
