It’s going to be over Tuesday. Once BHO wins Montana more super delegates will commit to him giving him the victory.
However, that’s when the fun will begin.
Fun as in delegates, super or otherwise, sobering up and switching back to HRC?
We'll see. All of a sudden that superdelegate vote is a lot more valuable. In fact, it's the most valuable commodity in politics at the moment and falls to zero the moment he goes over the top. There'll be holdouts but nobody is going to want to hold out too long. Let the bribery and the blackmail begin!
Fun as in “gotterdamurung”.
it’s almost June, miss hillary.
It will be hot in Denver this August;)
It is intesting to me to see two people so close at this stage of the game, and yet find the democrats, the media and the political wonks trying to see one person win the Democrat nomination short of earning it.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but the super delegates don’t actually vote until the convention, so when super delagates “commit” to Obama it very well could be just empty talk. Haven’t delegates that “commited” to Clinton already changed to Obama? With that in mind...how could it be over tuesday unlesss Clinton quits?
I hope Obama wins on Tuesday forcing the SD into making a decision this soon. If they waiver, then you know the game is a foot. If they commit, then have to back down later, just as good.
I wish that I had thought of posting that first.;D
I agree, and I do think the Democrat party is going to be an interesting study the rest of the year.
Not a chance. He’s already said he wasn’t doing this and he would have another problem to deal with.
Looking at the left wing blogs and forums, I don’t think so.
The Clinton supporters are p.o.ed at Obama.
The Obama supporters are telling the Clinton supporters to go ahead and vote for McCain. They can win without the Clinton votes.
I hope you are right. I just can’t see the Clinton gang throwing up their hands and quitting.
I would not rule out a meeting between the ever lovely Mrs. Clinton and the ever charming Mr. McCain. Mrs. Clinton understands that residing on the bottom half of the McCain ticket is her quickest route to the oval office. McCain has always put himself before his party, and it seems to me, there is nothing he would not do to get the prize. He brags about reaching across the aisle, why not Hillary?
Zot me if you must - but here is my prediction (once again).
Facts in evidence:
1. Bill Clinton & Hilary Clinton are universally despised by the Democrats’ power base i.e. all those Dem Govs. & Congressmen who fled to Obama - a pitiful excuse for a candidate.
2. Obama will be nominated - but Hilary can point to gross misconduct and inequity in delegate distribution.
3. Hilary has no future in the Dem party as a result of 1 & 2.
Prediction:
Hilary will bolt the Dem.Party and run as an Independent - she has more support than Ross Perot or Ron Paul or Ralph Nader. Her popular vote support in the Dem primaries is huge and they will stick with her.
A three-way race between McCain, Obama and Hilary will be so close - 2000 will seem like a tea party.
Hilary will win the General Election - unless McCain has some great debates and media coverage - like that will happen!
Never happen, but if it does be sure and remind me.....;))
