Will Obama gain enough superdelegates before the NC and IN primary to balance out the PA primary?

Hillary netted 10 delegates more than Obama from the PA primary.

However, since the PA primary, Obama has netted 5 more superdelegates than Hillary has managed to pick up.

So, as the NC and IN primaries draw nearer, the question on the table is this:

Will Hillary's delegate boomlet from PA be entirely erased before the next round of primaries or will her boomlet only be mostly diminished?

Bonus Question: If PA was Hillary's last best hope to catch up to Obama, and she's only netted 5 total delegates since PA (with that margin dropping almost daily), where is she going to win by margins that would even hypothetically allow her to catch up to Obama?

Now is through defections of either Pledge or Super Delegates. Defections have been rare and one sided so far.

she just enjoys the spotlight and is hoping for a V.P. nomination

Take it from a midwesterner. :hi:

mixed up.

If I hadn't lived in MO (Missouri) for so long, I'd have just assumed MO = Montana. :)

I think you'll see the SD boomlet turn into a full-size tremor.

have dropped the ball and seem unable to get it back.

(link). As for Hillary, she's so far behind that she'll have to win in ALL TEN of the remaining contests with at least 68% of the vote in order to improve her pledged delegate numbers:

41-point or more margin of victory = blowout

36 - 40 points = a "real" win

30 - 35 points = good, but not good enough

11 – 29 points = a wash

5 - 10 points = useless

1 - 4 points = concession speech

like a loser headed in the GE.

Yes, Obama gets the nomination, by losing and limping his way there because he and his camp refuse to deal with Hillary.

Fact- she's hurting his brand. Fact- his campaign is doing NOTHING to counter this.

Is that reputation Hillary wants--sabotaging him because she couldn't defeat him on merit alone? And since when did John McCain obtain sainthood? He hasn't disowned any of HIS whacko clergymen.

It will damage him in November. Needlessly.

on the grounds that if she can't win, no other Dem should.

and just in time for the primaries next week...

Hillary has already peaked years ago, and still hiccups.

still maintaining at least a 10 point lead over Clinton. The rest are outliers.

for the sake of unity. You have been an Obama supporter, and now you're acting like NJSecularist....

for shame..

ineffective loser.

Obama supporters are too dense to realize that even though Obama may limp and lose his way to the nomination he's going to have been branded a loser for the GE.

Either he and his fucked up campaign get off their asses and deal with Hillary or all this is for nothing and he loses in November.

The prize is no longer the nomination. IT"S WINNING IN NOVEMBER. And Obama and his camp have done jackshit to counter any of the swiftboating.

as that bitch doesn't get the nomination I'm okay with it. I will take the chance that people will wake the hell up and realize that Obama is better than McCain. If they can't see that then they better not say shit about losing their home or not having a job because I don't care! If you are stupid enough to vote for McCain over Obama then you deserve what you get!

lead.

When the away team stops the shut out with a field goal in the closing minutes in the fourth quarter, I'm sure it makes the home team look weak, too.

Everybody on the home team worries whether that field goal is going to make them vulnerable in the bowl game (at least that's what the losers say), but nobody doubts who's going to get the bowl invitation.
