http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_campaignplus/20080305/a...
This article explains:
"Just for kicks, pencil the New York senator in for landslide victories in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky plus narrow victories in Guam, Indiana, North Carolina, Montana and South Dakota ? scenarios that give her a hefty benefit of the doubt and then some. And what happens?
She still trails Obama."
And Howard Dean, chairman of the DNC keeps explaining over and over again that the superdelegates aren't going to vote against the people. What does she think she's doing?

She can't win it. But she will beg, cry, and fight to the point of destroying the democratic party before she quits.

The super delegates will decide who gets the nomination because neither candidate can win without them. Hillary will need about 200 of the remaining 300 uncommitted ones so it is a long shot. However if Obama make mistakes and begins to look unelectable as he is put under more scrutiny as a front runner, it is possible. He has not had much experience in tough campaigns because his Senate run was a shoo in. Hilary is gambling that Obama will blow it.
Although I would be happy with Obama I think it is a good thing that there will be more time for Obama to show his stuff before the party commits to him. I do not want the Democrats to lose in Nov on some last minute revelations, or mistake by the candidate.

Well, if Florida and Michigan get a do-over and their delegates then count, that could sway the picture...
And what superdelegates SHOULD do and what they WILL do are radically different considerations.
I think a battle up to the convention will strengthen both candidates- better to have some mudslinging with the information available now so that people have a chance to deal with it before the big debates rather than having something really nasty come to light late October that throws the race into a tailspin...

probable no longer, yet whilst they do count style Florida and Michigan votes she would be able to probable win the commonplace vote. additionally, the great delegates will seem at particular swing states. Obama's numbers in Florida and Ohio are no longer so good as Clintons' and Democrats choose considered one of those 2 states come the final election. Hillary all in all (state to state) does have a greater suitable risk of thrashing McCain than Obama. i've got performed the mathematics. with the aid of fact of this as a Republican, i could particularly see Obama get the nod, so McCain may be the subsequent president.

Because the superdelagates all have a mind of their own and Howard Dean has no say in who they vote for.

Whoever wins, don't think the Democrats will come out of this without some wounds to lick.

Get a majority of the delegates - that's the only way anyone can possibly win it.

She should not drop out because neither one of them will reach the amount required to get the nomination and anything can happen.

They might as well choose now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause the pollster have even gone to show the scenarios if either candidate was to win out. And Guess What? The American people finally get their guy instead of someone stealing it from them again. Think about it.
"OBAMA 08' baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
