ABC This Week: Democrats agree it should go on up to a point, but if its close in PA or if he splits
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 12:52 AM by loveangelc
the May 6th states, there will be a major shift in super delegates to Obama. Thats what George Stephonoplis (sp?) said on This Week. I think it's interesting that he said coming close in pennsylvania OR splitting one of the 2 may 6th states would start the swarm of superdelegates. I wonder if that is his own speculation or if he really knows this will happen...

1. It makes sense because if that happens Hillary's chances drop basically to zero
and there would be the beginnings of a ground swell for her to drop out. The Supers would start moving to Obama in droves.

may 6th, there will still be a movement is what he is saying. I wonder if he knows this for a fact because he's discussed this with superdelegates or if its just his own speculation.

3. here's what will happen

If she wins PA it won't be by a huge amount. He'll win NC very big, and Indiana will be very close.

The net delegates out of those states will be close to 0 at best for her.

So we'll have the 3 big remaining contests a draw, there will hardly be any states left, and she's right where she is now, with even less of a chance to win.

If NC & PA were the same day, this might already be over. She was counting on a 2 week bump after PA.
