Scroll down the article and make your own scenario/projection for the upcoming democrat primaries and see how it will add to the delegates count for Obama and Hillary Clinton.

If every state and the uncommitted superdelegates all voted the same, Hillary would need to win 54%-46% to win the total.

By my calculus, Obama will easily get the delegates he needs to win.

Wonder how much of a stink Hillary will make if she loses by less than the difference of Florida and/or Michigan?

I read an article earlier today that Flordia democrat party is going ahead in selecting their delegates from the convention even though they will not be seated. The interesting point is that Hillary Clinton does not lead by much in the delegates over Obama. From 121 delegates, Hillary Clinton will get 67, Barak Obama 41 and John Edwards 13. So Hillary Clinton leads Obama there by 26 delegates. Obama has almost 160 delegates pledged lead over Hillary Clinton in the primaries so far without counting Florida. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FL_PRIMARY_SCRAMBLE_FLOL-?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=STATE&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2008-02-29-17-36-16

In Michigan Barack Obama was not even on the ballot so I do not see a way that Michigan delegates will be counted unless they do a re-vote.

I think by the time of the convention, Obama will be so far ahead that the superdelegates won’t matter.

“I think by the time of the convention, Obama will be so far ahead that the superdelegates won’t matter.”

And I don’t think that will matter to the Clintons.

Hillary will be the nominee. She may not win the nomination but she will be the nominee. Obama will never get to the convention. If he gets over the top, guarantee that the Rezko trial will bring him down, if not something else.
