1. "Super Delegates dont actually count until the convention"
"They can always change their minds. Anything can happen."

3. Bingo. They'll claim that the SDs haven't REALLY voted yet.... of course, neither
have the PDs.

9. Technically, by Clinton's standard - McCain isn't the GOP nominee yet.

2. Obama is a sexist playing cruel political games
I mean, he's just parading these people out with no concern for her delicate feelings. :shrug: :cry:

10. I fully expect her to say that no delegate votes are final until the convention
whereby the vulture will loom and wait it out.

A concession in light of all that they're trying to do now would be a welcome surprise, but still a surprise.

11. She'll end up being humiliated if she stays in, because
the very senior-most party leaders are going to come out and support Obama. Then what is she going to do, when Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carter, et al throw it down and say, Enough?

12. You are right, what will she do? It will be a test of the nature of her shamelessness. n/t

13. They will say Obama was chosen by the SDs, not the people
Thus the extreme mathematical contortions to claim the popular vote lead: they want to make it look as if the SDs have decided the thing--which can only serve to deligitimatize Obama as the nominee. Shameful. But that is the only intent I can see.

And that is why Obama is trickling out the superdelegates so slowly--so that it will not look like they "put him over the top."
