I know Hillary fans think the Supers will save her but what have you seen so far........

[KansasVoter]

that makes you think they might pick her?

I think both sides agree the delegate race is a done deal. Only supers can pick Hillary.

This is a serious question. Why do you think the Supers will pick her when they don't seem to be flocking to her now and are not publicly indicating issues with Obama.

I just don't understand the faith you have that the Supers are going to think Obama is unelectable.

1. Well, Howard Dean must know something is in the air, as today he

said the following, " Super delegates do have the right to overthrow the popular vote and elect the best candidate to go up against John McCain".

2. Wasn't that in response to Hillary's claims that she will lead the popular vote at some point?

5. Dean Added

Dean added that he thinks it is "very unlikely" that the superdelegates will elevate a candidate who is trailing in pledged delegates and the popular vote before adding that "it is possible" and that superdelegates have "every right to do it."

Ben, Ben, Ben....stop being like the main-stream-media by leaving out the rest of his quote.

6. I Haven't Heard Anything, Either

Dean is correct on both counts, and we'd all be wise to heed him and prepare for either eventuality. Because at some point, it truly will be out of our hands.

8. tut, tut, benny

you're cherry picking. he also said that he thought supers would go for the candidate leading in pledged delegates and the pop vote. Who would that be, hmmm?

Shalom, benny old girl.

9. Indiana could cause a dramatic shift

Right now there are 21% undecided voters in Indiana. That's a huge number. If Obama loses a state where he had a lead and where he is not unfamiliar to voters, that may give the supers pause. It will also bolster Hillary's argument that she has beaten him in larger states. (I am NOT including FL and MI). I am including Texas and no, I don't care about the rsults of the after election caucuses. There are no damn caucuses after the general election.

I'm an Obama supporter, but he has faltered recently. It's not fatal, but it does concern me. The statements about his not having been in a tough race are partially true; his Senate race was a cakewalk after his original Repub opponent dropped out. However, he had run for the US Congress against Bobby Rush and Obama got his ass kicked. That's why he lowered his sights and ran for state office.

The other thing that concerns me is how many of our two candidates' supporters are not going to support the other in the GE. That is why, in spite of huge Dem turnout and new voters registering as Dems, we still are tied or behind Mccain in several polls.

I hesitate to write this last thought, but I'll do it anyway. I can see Hillary, if she wins Indiana, having her surrogates start calling for Obama to drop out. Then all hell is going to break loose.
