There are 689 total delegates left. Let’s just say Obama get 45 percent of those (310). If you add that to his total, he will have a sum total (including super delegates) of 1,932.

That leaves only a difference of 93 Super delegates needed to get to 2,025. There are 247 Super Delegates left – does anyone really think that he wouldn’t get at least 37 percent of the remaining Super Delegate votes?

It appears to me that there will be no need for back room dealing in this scenario, and the man with the most votes, states, and pledged delegates will have the 2,025 needed to secure the nomination.

Not mentioned as swing states: WI, WA, OR

And it is sad that some think that Clinton will carry a state such as Michigan when she somehow only managed 55% of the popular vote while running essentially unopposed. Pathetic.

This article and many of the commenter’s are in dire need of a reality check.

That was interesting..Thanks for your perspective..

On the other hand, she may be playing the long game, figuring that Clinton will sweep Pennsylvania and the possibly resurrected Florida and Michigan primaries.

It does not matter either way.

The superdelegates were created for the very reason that they are being used now, to resolve a difficult situation. This party structure is very much like the bicameral structure of the legislative branch with the superdelegates being the Senate.

Then, kiddidpoos, there is always the wild card that the “pledged” delegates do not really have to vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged.

Under the rules in place, Obama won and Hillary lost. I know that interferes with the entitlement mentality you folks have,

Do you really believe your own spin?

Is this the truth?

Do you see your bias, this will be used against you.

Again, every time you open your mouth you show people you have no fucking clue how you are being gamed.

And then you wonder why you get no respect.

know that is hard to grasp, when you are used to getting everything you want handed to you because of your husband, but that is life

.

Maybe you should try something better?

People who understand how you’re playing have already defeated your old shit, might wanna freshen up.

And it’s less the misogyny but more the inability to create a new method of offense, this is really old shit, and it’s been beat, like a tired old nightbat.

If this is what he thinks will beat Washington, he’s got a big shock, ahead.

You really have no clue, do you?

Obama runs better against McCain

OK, but given the republican type attack, how do you think the press will be handled, America inundated with all we are discussing, here.

Gee, this is what it must have been like for the CIA, arguing the case against war, to Cheney, before the Iraq invasion.

No one listens…

Heh.

I think that Senator Obama is as twisted as some of his supporters. And not too sure this Democrat wants to fall in line behind him if he’s the nominee.

I agree with you about Obama. And this Democrat will NOT support him.

Unlike some Dems, Pelosi actually wants to WIN in November. She wants the strongest candidate to win, not the one there on nepotism. Go figure . . . .
