With do-overs scheduled for MI & FL its possible that momentum might lead to Hillary catching Obama before the convention. If that happens then their would be no outrage over her "stealing" the nomination from him.

Because the Democrats' delegates are awarded "proportionally," it is very unlikely that The Evil One will overcome Obama's lead in pledged delegates. If such a lead exists when the convention begins, Obama's supporters would be more than outraged if he doesn't get the nomination.

They are only about 100-120 delegates apart. Puerto Rico awards its delgates all-or-nothing (about 66). If she wins Puerto Rico as expected she'll only need another 60 or so to take the lead.

-Because the Democrats’ delegates are awarded “proportionally,” it is very unlikely that The Evil One will overcome Obama’s lead in pledged delegates. If such a lead exists when the convention begins, Obama’s supporters would be more than outraged if he doesn’t get the nomination.—

If Obama goes into the convention with more delegates than Cankles, if the superdelegates go Cankles way and Obama gets robbed, it will be “Burn, baby, burn” in Denver. The superdelegates realize this, and will “feel compelled to go along with popular will” (i.e. side with Obama). By Convention time, gasoline will be over $4 gallon, food prices will be rising, and NO presidential candidate (certainly not a broken down old warhorse like McCranky) with an (R) next to his name will have a snowball’s chance of victory in November.
