They are simply amazing.

I think Hilry will end up with more votes than nObama, but they (in the person of their “super” delegates) as a party would never have the guts to go against political correctness and nominate Hilry, the will of the “sheeple”. After all blacks are a much more protected class of folks than females in the eyes of self-serving, close-minded, condescending liberals.

I'm still thinking that Hillary has at least a 50/50 chance...the final tweaks haven't been tweaked yet.

Losing is not an option.

Before today’s decision, Clinton had 1499 pledged delegates (i.e. those delegates selected by primary or caucus).

Obama had 1661 pledged delegates.

So even without the superdelegates, Obama was leading with around 160 pledged delegates.

After the decision today, Clinton picks up an additional 87 delegates and Obama picks up an additional 63 delegates.

This means that Obama still leads Clinton in pledged delegates by 1724 delegates to 1586 delegates. A margin of 138 delegates.

The final three contests in the Democratic Primaries has a grand total of 86 delegates.

Hillary cannot win the most pledged delegates.

When you add in the Superdelegates that have already committed to a candidate, Obama has 2074 delegates. Above the number needed to clinch the nomination (2026).

Unless there are defections, or some strange occurance happens before the convention (remember, Bobby Kennedy was shot in June), Obama is the nominee for the Democratic party.

But even in her death throes, Clinton keeps bleeding her party for the sake of her own ego.

I don’t know about you, but I certainly never want to hear about the 2000 election again after this crap.

I guess its OK when the Dems disenfranchise the voters. And in the ultimate irony, Florida is involved. If I were the Republicans, I’d have an ad in the works right now.

The Dems are hypocrites of the highest order.
