Oh and for the record - not that it is particularly relevant now - One of the Super Delegates was a Clinton delegate so she actually lost one today.

say yesterday to cause this?

Hillary Clinton is comparing the uncounted primary votes in Michigan and Florida to the deadly electoral conflict in Zimbabwe.

Clinton told a crowd in Sunrise, Florida, Wednesday, "People go through the motions of an election only to have it discarded and disregarded. We're seeing that right now in Zimbabwe — tragically an election was held, the president lost, they refused to abide by the will of the people. So we can never take for granted our precious right to vote."

Dozens have died in the aftermath of elections in Zimbabwe where President Robert Mugabe lost, but the government says the margin of defeat was close enough to force a runoff.

Senator Clinton also compared the Florida and Michigan situations to the struggles for civil rights and voting rights and warned that disenfranchised Democrats might vote for John McCain in the fall.

I hope her I'm crazy tour continues and we'll have this wrapped up by May 31.

Statements like these are really going to have an impact on the super delegates, lol.

:thumbsup:

And the Nomination will be secured June 3rd.

I wouldn't be opposed to it happening sooner, though.

They will compromise on FL and MI and let everyone vote and she will be out of talking points.

Its clear that they could end this now if they wanted to.

Obama only needs 18% of the remaining delegates to win.

Then they'll let the VOTERS and pledged delegates of the last two primaries push him over the top.

That way it will be spun that the voters, not super delegates ended the race.

Hillary fans would really gripe if it were perceived that super delegates where the ones who clinched it for Obama.

Essentially they will, but the voters will be the ones to push him over the number, thus negating that perception.

They are gaming the end very well IMHO.

left to her to withdraw without any future commitments.

I would expect a big roll out after they settle MI/FL

:woohoo:
