The fact is, that as of right now, neither candidate can earn the necessary delegates to win before the election. If this is going to end, the superdelegates will have to leave Clinton by the dozens.

2. I don't care how HRC is spinning it, if the superdelegates give it to The Clintons
it will (her new FAV word) OBLITERATE the Democratic Party. :nuke:

6. So of course we need to give it to the candidate who won
the fewest contests, the fewest popular votes, the fewest delegatss --

Now THAT'S democracy in action!

3. The point is that the SDs are going to give it to Clinton or Obama.
It looks like neither will have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination.

4. They will give it...
but they can either affirm the primary results or deny them... giving it to Hillary would be overturning the primary results... giving it to Obama would be endorsing the primary results.
