This is ignoring the fact that super-delegates are part of the rules and therefore, if they support Clinton, the primary was not "stolen".

However, Obama is picking up supers at a faster rate, and has a commanding lead among pledged delegates. There is no realistic way Clinton wins.

Because he cannot stand Obama, and anything that supports his desired result he will post. It's that simple.

So Big Brother knows what is best for the people? I don't think so. If they try to overrule the voters, the blowback will make 1968 look like nothing. This is the party that wanted every vote counted in 2000. Why even bother with Florida and Michigan? All she has to do is promise positions and/or favors to the remaining superdelegates and she gets their votes. It's corrupt, rules be damned!

Please stop stalking me and speaking to me through other people's posts. If you cannot add anything to the debate, do not add at all. Your personal issues with me are becoming annoying. Thank you.

Well, we really do not know what will happen until the rest of the super-delegates vote. I say it is still anyone's nomination. I think that we can all agree that all the anticipation makes it an exciting primary! May the best .... errr.... ahhh... person win! lol

Re: Clinton Leads in Electoral Votes

I just saw a funny news headline: "Obama hopes for win in Mississippi"

"Hopes"? I think Obama has Mississippi in the bag.

Yeah, it's funny that he isn't presumptuous like Hillary. It's funny that he doesn't feel entitled to the nomination like Hillary. It's funny that he doesn't feel like the nomination should be his because it's "his turn".

But yes, I would say he should win Mississippi.

I agree. I would have been bothered if the headline was, "Obama says he will win Mississippi." I was bothered when he complimented one of his speeches at one of the debates. It made him sound like an a$$, or like Hillary.
