I know Obama has the delegate and Popular vote count, but if we take all 435 congressional districts down based on primary vote, how would the talley break out? Also, if we broke out the states Obama won based on electoral votes and compared that to the states Hillary won based on electoral votes, what would be that result?

If Morris ever develops a brain he would be dangerous. The Obama supporters are groupies. They don't even know they have a congressman.

Morris just wants to see the clintons hurt, so he is saying things he knows are not true.

Hillary Clinton got Bill to fire Morris. He has been trying to get even ever since he left. What he posts as analysis is based on hurting Hilary. It has nothing to do with solid analysis.

The Democratic primary election is pretty much in a tie. And Morris knows that Hillary has a lot of so called "uncommitted" special delegates in her hip pocket. Morris is trying to frighten them into deserting Hillary.

It will not likely work. What I think will happen is George Soros will try to buy enough specical delegates to get Obama the nomination. Hillary does not have the money to compete.

But some of those "for Sale" delegates will actually be Hillary Delegates who are very likley to go public with Obama's attempt to buy them. There would be just one way for a delegate to prove that Obama had not bought his vote, and that would be to cast his ballot for Hillary.

This thing is a long way from over. There are 1054 Delegates yet to be selected. Obama needs 689 of them to win the nomination on the first ballot. Obama must win 70 percent of the remaining delegates. He has been winning just under 60 percent. Over all he has won about 52 percent.

There is only one way to win it before the convention and that is to get more special delegates to publicly commit. They are not committing although I would bet a number are for sale.

Selling delegate votes goes way back. In 1960 Abe Lincoln called in the press to hear his orders to his staff. When the press assembled, Abe told his staff to Not buy delegate votes in his name. The press was impressed and wrote glowing stories about Honest Abe.

When the press left his staff asked how Abe could expect them to get him the nomination if they could not buy any delegate votes. Abe told his staff, "I did not tell you not to buy delegate votes. I told you not to do it in my name."

So the Lincoln staff bought enough votes to get Abe the 1960 Republican nomination and Abe became known in the press as Honest Abe.

Keep the heat on Hillary. She needs to be taken down before the convention.

Vote for Obama if can in the remaining primaries.
