MATH MAGICIAN? Clinton (Photo: Getty Images) Why is Hillary Clinton still pretending like she can beat out Barack Obama for the Democratic Presidential nomination?

Politico even talks to advisers within the Clinton camp who admit that Hillary has "no more than a 10 percent chance" of winning. After some number-crunching, they note that Obama would still end up with more delegates even if Clinton wins 60 percent of all those remaining—and no way is that happening, given his sizeable lead in African-American heavy North Carolina and liberal, white yuppie-heavy Oregon.
