Their candidate suffered three losses Tuesday, but they have not given up. The newest line is: “She simply cannot win 2025 delegates.” The “they” here is not the Obama camp, but the media pundit class, the same folks who declared Hillary Clinton dead and were telling her to scram, even last night. (There were a few exceptions, like this, which at least recognized the Clinton perspective “that a race this close can be altered by a virtually limitless number of tactical maneuvers, unexpected events, or shifts in public perception.”)

Why exactly is this latest “inevitable” analysis wrong? Barack Obama does, after all, have a lead of about 100 delegates. It is wrong because neither of these candidates can get to 2025 absent the superdelegates. It is wrong because rumblings can already be heard about an accommodation with Michigan and Florida, both of which are ripe for Clinton. (So any calculation needs to add approximately 340 more delegates.) It is wrong because one must give the devil his due and concede the Clinton team’s point that there is considerable doubt as to whether Obama can take a punch.

Other than that, it is as accurate and reliable as all the other “can’t be” scenarios the media has discarded, ranging from John McCain’s nomination to Clinton’s victories last night. Haven’t they learned anything from their favored candidate? “Yes, she can.”
