Hillary Deathwatch

The Hillary Deathwatch is a meter that tries to gauge presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's chances of winning the Democratic nomination. Conceived by the people at Slate.com (who also came up with the Saddameter, the Clintometer and the Gonzo-Meter), the Hillary Deathwatch places a numerical value - as a percentage - on Clinton's chances for victory. The article and poll have sparked some heated debate as to the continuing viability of the Clinton campaign. While the Hillary Deathwatch started at 12%, Slate says that they will continue to adjust the odds as new polls, events, superdelegate selections and primary results become available.
