Will either candidate anounce their VP choice during the primary?

This year, it might be a good strategy to break the apparent deadlock.

1. doubtful

but that's not a bad idea

2. No. Hubris. nt

[yardwork]

3. No. That would anger the party.

4. no - and there is no deadlock at the moment.

As things stand now Obama holds a small but significant lead. Unless Clinton can pull of some big upsets over the next few weeks, she is done.

[Ravy]

5. It looks like neither will get the required number of delegates

without Superdelegates, many of who are standing pat at the moment.

I call that a deadlock.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. The Superdelegates aren't going to vote?

Divide them 50-50 and Obama wins. Divide them proportional to the elected delegate count and Obama wins. The only scenario where Obama loses, barring a Clinton upset in the remaining primaries, is if the superdelegates go to Clinton by a disproportionate number. I do not think that scenario is realistic. The reality is that Obama has a clear lead, a lead that is insurmountable unless Clinton has a stunning series of lopsided victories.

7. Give the 7% edge that Clinton has with voters who are self-described

as Democrat, and she takes more Superdelegates, since there are no indpendents or republicans.

Any speculation now is just speculation. Let the voters and superdelegates speak. This may be a brokered convention.

[Warren Stupidity]

8. right - lets just take away the folks who voted for Obama

in sufficient nunmbers so that we can pretend our gal won. Do you have any idea how foolish you appear?
