    Democrat super delegates=some delegates are more equal than others.
    Hillary can get fewer delegates by way of losing more states but she can still get the nomination if the democrat super delegates give her their support.It's not that I could give a care less if Obama wins or loses but I just had to bring up this weird scenario and the hypocracy involved.Isn't that a joke!The democrats are the party of equality you know where all colors,creeds,genders and trans genders are supposed to be equal.We all know that's not true anyway because they are the affirmative action party so I guess that's why they have super delegates with more voting power in the primaries.Gary Hart won allot more states in the primaries and gathered more delegates than Mondale did but the democrats chose Mondale to run for president in 1980.If the democrats ran sports,they would have told the Patriots at the end of the game that they decided to make them the winner of the super bowl even though they lost.hehe!

    I actually agreed with the democrats when they took a libertarian approach yesterday on voting against Bush's homeland spy program being expanded.

    some so called expert on CNN said that Ohio and Texas will now decide the Dem nominee.

    If Hilary wins both them states the Suer Delegates can still support her and get her over the top without taking to much heat.

    However if she dont sweep them many Super delegates will leave her and support Obama or they would face big pressure

      Right. Hillary's only chance is to win in Ohio, Texas, and Penn -- even so her margins won't likely be large enough to take the earned delegate count from Obama. Theoretically, then she could win with enough superdelegates -- or she can fight to get Michagan/Florida included.

      Either scenario would cost her my vote in the general election -- this is something most of the super delegates do in fact realize. OUr best hope to avoid a prolonged fight from the Clinton's, is that Obama wins Ohio or Texas -- and I think he can win Texas. At that point she has nothing to stand on and she should quit (i doubt she will though)

        So March 4th is the next big day when Texas and Ohio have their say.

        Penn dont have theirs until April 22 agree Hillary needs to sweep all 3 to even have a chance.

        It would be cool though to have a convention in August not knowing who the nominee was going to be would make for good TV but probably bad for the Dem party.

          when you guys say sweep that means win overwhelming confidence. That means a 10percent blowout or more. She needs to seperate herself in those two states. I think TX is a given, but OH isn't.

            The polls suggest the opposite
