Delegate Math and the Richardson endorsement

Regardless of what you think of Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Joe Scarborough, Chuck Todd's dedication to detail in delegate math is good enough reason to stick with MSNBC over anyone else. The man is a genius. As he points out, even if Hillary Clinton wins Ohio in the popular votes, she can still lose in terms of delegates.

Howard Fineman reports that Bill Richardson will endorse Obama if he wins both TX and OH, but if Clinton wins them, it's still wide open. If it's a split, he thinks the party leaders will encourage her to bow out.

[Update: Todd is going over the Texas math again, and how easily Clinton could lose on delegates. Obama chose where he was going to campaign. He's just run a smarter campaign than she has. Other than the Canada/NAFTA debacle, the Obama camp has run his campaign without any serious errors. Hillary's still talking about how unfair caucuses are. Don't argue the rules, beat the rules.]
