Home State Advantage
Just wanted to add my half-cent to the day's mathematical orgy.
Home states:
In New York, Hillary won 57% and 137 delegates; Obama won 40% and 95 delegates.
In Illinois, Obama won 65% and 101 delegates; Hillary won 33% and 52 delegates.
When you add up the delegate totals from the two home states:
Obama: 196
Clinton: 189
I think that's rather impressive. That's all.
