Chuck Todd: "Impossible for Obama to lose his lead"

MSNBC's Chuck Todd does a pretty good job analyzing the latest delegate math between the Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. From YouTube:



Next, a little disclosure. This YouTube video was posted by BarackObama.com. I'm thinking that the Obama campaign is using this latest MSNBC video to bolster their own claim that Hillary Clinton can not win the race, and should drop out. But Barack Obama has not yet clearly won the Democratic nomination. He is ahead of Hillary Clinton in the pledged delegate count, but does not have enough delegates to cinch the nomination here. Whether the Obama campaign likes it or not, around half the nation's Democrats voted for Hillary Clinton here. Again, the Obama campaign and Clinton campaign are going to have to sit down and hack out a deal to create a winning ticket to satisfy both the Obama and Clinton supporters. Both camps will need to reconcile their differences and emerge as a unified team in order to propel the Democratic Party into the White House in November. And that means that the Obama campaign will have to give a major political favor to Hillary Clinton for her support.
