Win the Most Big States, Win the Nomination

According to the Clinton campaign, 100,000 of Hillary Clinton’s enthusiastic
donors have contributed more than $10M since Feb 5.Now these numbers are looked at with suspicion by Obama allies. They can’t
possibly see how Clinton could generate some of the same enthusiasm that Obama
does — they can’t stand comparisons of his donors to hers.But unless the Clinton campaign is just flat out lying, which I will stipulate
is most likely not the case, something is going on here that we can’t fully
appreciate or understand just it.
Maybe you all can explain it to them.
Delegate counts are all over the map. Before Obama’s sweep last night, the New York Times had the totals at Clinton with 912 and Obama at 741, without Michigan and Florida, both of which went for Clinton. These delegates will eventually count. The AP had the totals at Clinton – 1,045 delegates and Mr. Obama – 960. It’s all over the map, depending on who’s doing the tallying. We’re still in the calendar that leans heavy towards Obama. But soon we’ll be back to the bigger primary states, which heavily favor Clinton.
Big state wins for presidential hopefuls have always been a priority. In fact, in order to get the nomination of your party, they’re critical. Candidates of both parties have found this out over our modern political history. The person who wins the most big states, wins the nomination. Something to keep in mind right now. I teased this question yesterday. From a researcher friend of mine:
