Clinton Supporters Ready To Take Fight To Convention

2008-10-17T13:34:45Z

While chasing Senator Hillary Clinton through central Pennsylvania I tried to understand the motivations of those who are voting for her and those who are considering giving their support. Among those who had already committed to Clinton echoed the same sentiment: they are ready to take the fight to the convention.

Rob Reiner impresses on the crowd that Hillary needs to "win big" in Pennsylvania to stay in contention. He's absolutely right and is more honest that recent statements by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell that "If we win by 6 to 7, it's a great victory. if were to win by ten or more that would be astounding." Pennsylvania can only be considered a "win" for Clinton if it allows her to overtake Obama in either pledged delegates or the popular vote. The proportional allocation of delegates ensures that Obama will retain the lead for the next three primaries.

As to the popular vote, here's a quick back of the envelope calculation. If we count all the states, including FL and MI and the estimated popular votes in the caucus states of IA, NV, ME and WA, Obama has a .6% (204,227) lead in the popular vote. This is the math the Clinton campaign is using in campaign emails to supporters.

Under this scenario the following would need to occur for Clinton to overtake Obama in the popular vote with PA: turnout would need to double (1.6 million voting in the primary) and Clinton would need to win by with at least 56% of the vote which would be a 12% margin. Therefore, Clinton needs to win a little more than 900,000 votes in PA to break even with Obama.

Clinton needs to do more than just break even to maintain a popular vote lead over Obama post-North Carolina.
