Democratic Nomination

[Bloom]

Right now Hillary leads in delegates by 25 or so...but that includes about 105 lead in non-binding super delegates. Obama has the lead in those that are bound.

Hillary is trying to get the delegates from Michigan and Florida counted, and Hillary looks to be basically blackmailing all the super-delegates she can.

question: what will Democrats do when Obama storms ahead in delegates and is poised for nomination - and Hillary actually gets the nod with back door dealing?

will Obama fans be happy with a VP position? will he even accept one?

How things change so quickly. Hillary's got about a week left to make nice and make a graceful exit. She has no way to get where she wants from where she is.

well. now it is impossible for either to get enough pledged delegates. this goes to the convention....and the super delegates decide in a back room.

my prediction: they give us Hillary for prez, Obama for VP

Hillary is less in the game than she was on Monday. She's 150 delegates behind with only 611 left to capture. If she doesn't win every contest by 23 points from here on out she's toast. Do the math.

Conspriacy Time!!!!!

Is Eliot Spitzer the first of the Super-Delegates to feel the blackmailing wrath of the Clinton Machine?

i will question this every time some super delegage comes up with some dubious rationa;e to throw thier support to Hillary

[Steve Tatham]

That is hilarious! May I use that?
