Then he went of to say, even if Hilary wins the majority of the delegates then Obama will still have more. So, what he was saying is that if it reaches the point that both are in the running during the Democratic National Convention then there is a good chance that the Super Delegates will decide who is the most electable... mmmm the wonderful taste of democracy.

Do I sense a hint of sarcasm in that last bit? I will be SUPER pissed if the Super Delegates, against the grain, nominate Hilary (she already leads Obama in Super Delegates btw).

they've never voted against the popular vote before. TRADITION!

That is good to know, I think a lot of hype will go into "The Super Delegates are going to decide who the Canidate is, Eff America and its Democracy." The news will ride that into the dirt. I would like to have some debates between Mr. McCain and Obama.

Can you imagine the shit-storm that would start if they voted against the popular vote? The American people would realize that their votes are not as important as they think they are.

Some people say that it is bad that the dems are fighting still over the nomination, but it is actually REALLY good for them.
Everybody is talkinga bout them, and only occassionally do they talk about McCain.

It gives Obama an advantage.
(By the way, I think Obama will win the nomination, and Clinton will pull up and support him.
Part of me thinks she is already doing certain things to prep him for the fight against the right wing fear machine.)

The one downside is that he is going to be tired after fighting all of this time.
Deep down tired.

I think that Hilary has held out too long to save face, so in my opinion, she will trash Obama until the bitter end. That is why we have never had a female president before. Smile
