    Everyone wasn't saying Obama was the nominee in February, his lead really only kicked in in March after Ohio and Texas. If you look at the last three months and track the implied probability based on the betting odds, it's very easy to see who's winning and who's losing.



    The blue line is Obama, red is HC. My belief is that it will be all over in a few days, but the question is why did HC continue to divide the party after the result has been obvious?

    Re: Seat or nor seat? D Day for the Democrats

    With the final primaries today and what seems to be a shift in uncommitted superdelegates going to Obama including at this stage speculation that the House majority whip and the top ranking African-American in Congress as well as sources telling CBS News that most of the 17 still uncommitted super delegates from the U.S. Senate are expected to endorse Obama shortly-along with at least a dozen House members - will Billary do the decent thing - give up - accept she will not be the nominee, tell her supporters to wise up and support the nominee and stop acting like children and sore loseres and support Obama and do everything in their power to ensure we get a Democrat in the White House with a strong Democratic controlled Congress so the US can experience real and meaningful change and consign Bush 43 to quote a predecessor of his, "to the ash heap of history".

    What PLANET ARE YOU ON Implied probability based on BETTING ODDS.

    Its called Democracy not betting so therefore to use betting odds to decide whether someone should stay in the race is bogus.

    HRC has proven she was right to stay in the race or are people voting for her not allowed to exercise the vote because you want betting odds to decide your favoured candidate.

    The point YOU made was that HC was winning for the last few months. That is not true, whether you look at the delegate count or whether you look at the odds.

    No one is disputing her right to remain in the contest, the question is whether her exercising this right is in the longterm benefit of her party.

    She has won more delegates and more votes since March 1 hence my comment is correct. Your view is that she should just quit and not give voters a chance to exercise their votes, in staying she has done that and won 650,000 more votes than Obama.

    Odds don't decide elections people do.

    If Obama was such a good candidate then he should already have closed out the Primarys, he hasn't and is looking for Super delegates to bring him across the line. As the campaign has gone on he has looked weaker and weaker and the free pass from the press in the early months has gone.

    HRC is hardly damaging the party when its the Dem voters in Dem states that are voting for her. Obama may be doing great in some states that vote GOP always and will continue to do so.
