    I would love to see that. After the first vote, all bets are off and delegates are free to vote for anyone they wish.

    But, I predict the superdelegates will not dare put Hilary in over Obama because it would cause a major riot within the party, and do terrible damage to their chances in November.

    there is not any difference made between pledged delegates and large delegates while it comprises achieving the "magic quantity". Obama in common terms desires fifty two extra to attain 2025 and could maximum probable gain this next week. As for polls touching directly to the electoral college, you incredibly need to look at them heavily. i've got considered quite a few marvelous looking maps exhibiting EC totals yet you'll be able to desire to look on the polls those projections are in line with. some i've got considered are a month previous and that's an eternity in politics, exceptionally this 12 months.

    One of them will. Only 30 delegates are currently pledged to anyone else.

    So the likelihood of neither getting the 2025 is negligible.

    Then the Democratic Convention may be the best entertainment on television, since the giant food-fight will make the battle of the Bulge look like a stroll in the park.

    At that point the only open question will be how big McCain's victory is going to be, but the smart money is on BIG.

    Like Reagan-type BIG, if he runs a decent campaign..

    It will be brokered at the DNCC in Denver by a respected party figure.

    The longer this thing goes on the WAY it's going on though...I have a sneaking suspicion we'll know the nom by mid-late June.

    Please; after tonights events in both Indiana and North Carolina, the Super Delegates will put Obama over the edge. Obama slam Hillary with a 14% margin in North Carolina, and she barely edge him out in Indiana with the help of Republican Rush "The Drug Addict, Operation Chaos".

  • That is impossible

    Combined, the supers and pledged delegates add up to over 4049, so one of them has to reach it.........

    They'll have to mud wrestle to decide who gets the nomination. It hasn't happened since 1845.
