Her Firewall states have already voted
by cridge

Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and California are the large states that she won by large margins. The margins just weren't large enough. Obama won many more smaller states by larger margins. Clinton could win Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas by 15 points, but that would probably cut Oboma's lead by half. It isn't that the states left over in February favor Obama it's that the res of the calender leans in his favor.

Hillary needed to win big on super Tuesday and by all accounts it was a tie. Now she is left with three stopgap states that are just not big enough to erase Barack's lead.

The key in a delegate race is margin of victory and that is where Obama is building his advantage.

Hillary will most likely make a strong push, but it is most likely too late for her to win the pledged delegate race.

Time to start sending Valentines to the Superdelegates!
