You go look at the popular vote (5.00 / 1) (#57)

in the primaries, and then come back here and tell me he's handing it to her. Your comment is simply incorrect.

He's winning by an insurmountable pledged delegate (none / 0) (#59)

Lead.  

He will be the nominee contrary to what Senator Clinton told Katie Couric a while back.

Just answer me this:  what chance do you think Clinton will pull this off?  Seriously...what chance do you think she has of winning the nomination?

Pretty small (5.00 / 1) (#61)

Pulling a number out of the air, I'd give her a 15% chance.

Your earlier statement to which I responded was about primary votes, not about pledged delegates.

At the end of the day, Clinton will not have the pledged delegates to win.  Neither will Obama.

But he'll have more (none / 0) (#62)

and that will clinch it barring some unforeseen political relations disaster--hence why Clinton is still in the race.

Glad to see we're all on the same page.

Not sure we're on the same page. (none / 0) (#69)

A plurality is not a majority. Superdelegates will make their own decisions, and they may go with the candidate with a plurality of pledged delegates, or they may go with the candidate with a plurality of popular votes.

Obama will lead in both (none / 0) (#75)
by Deadalus on Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 03:44:49 PM EST
It's been discussed ad nauseum, but I doubt she'll have the advantage by either metric. Super-delegates will "vote their conscience", but I doubt that any of the uncommitted ones are excited about casting a vote for Clinton as her campaign is just kind of sad at this point. It isn't uplifting, and probably not going to garner most super-delegate votes.
