(CBS) Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said that he believed if Barack Obama goes into the Denver convention leading in the count of popular vote and pledged delegates, that he will have earned the support of superdelegates - and the nomination.

“I think the superdelegates in the end will ratify the will of the people and the pledged delegates," Patrick, a Democrat, said.

“He will have earned , he will have earned it against a very entrenched and strong contender.”

Appearing on Face The Nation, Patrick told host Bob Schieffer that he hoped the Democratic Party would not become divided over the choice of a nominee.

Schieffer asked, if Obama were denied the nomination by the superdelegates despite his current lead in pledged delegates, "do you think black voters will stay home?"

"I hope not," Patrick said. "Because I think that it's the future of all of us, of our United States that's at stake, and ought to be at stake in this election, and always is at stake in a presidential election. And we all have a share in that future."

8. I think I'm going to start using the ignore feature.

I've resisted for a while, but posts like this have absolutely no merit.
It's not even witty.

9. I disagree

he does have a chance. People are sick and tired of the way this country has been managed and many millions would like a new start.
