It's the delegates, people...brokered convention?

[x-g.o.p.er]

Primary winners, especially on our side, mean little except for bragging rights. Depending on how the vote totals break down by precinct in California, the delegate split could be a wash.

Both sides did what they needed to do, and neither side got a knockout blow. I suspect that the difference between Hill and Obama will be within 100 delegates come tomorrow, which means this thing is far from decided.

I think it's funny that the pundits were talking early on about the Republicans having a brokered convention, but with the way things are going, I don't think a Democratic brokered convention is outside the realm of possibility.

It seems crazy, but unless there is a seismic event (and it didn't happen tonight) that shakes the dynamics of this contest up, neither Hillary not Obama will get an appreciable lead, and a brokered convention is possible.

And let's say it's a knock down, drag out brokered convention. We'll still kick McCain's ass in November.

Wouldn't that be something?

5. Latest delegate count is 841-837 Obama

Damn. Closer than I thought.

I thought there would be at least a 100 delegate lead for Hillary.

3. Nope.....

Obama will take at least 5 of the next 6 states.....

In two weeks, Obama will have a commanding delegate lead.

4. It's easy to say that

But two weeks is a lifetime in politics.
