In my opinion, Obama won't have the required number of superdelegates on Tuesday night |
|
The superdelegates are a bunch of spineless cowards terrified of the "big bad mean" Hillary and Bill Clinton machine. It'll take Nancy, Howard, and Harry to corral them. The arm twisting is going to have to be intense to get them off their fence. By June 10 or so, Senator Obama should have them.
Don't get your hopes up. The supers will leave this party twisting in the wind until Nancy and Harry lay down the law.
Get rid of superdelegates for 2012 please.
That said, I am still hoping for the movie storybook ending on Tuesday with all of the cablers and networks having neat and awesome graphics and music saying "Obama wins nomination" and Obama claiming it at Excel but don't get your hopes up.
Obama should have between 5-10 superdelegate endorsements by this time Monday to get the storybook ending. If not, it'll be another week or so.
Not a big deal but frusturating for people like me who want this over with the "movie ending."

1. I'm betting on him crossing the line on Saturday or Sunday of next week. |
|
Possibly Friday, but definitely not on Tuesday night.
SDs are going to want to give the impression, at least, that they looked at the final primary election numbers and considered their choices.

3. Which is darn outrageous my friend |

We need to get going with the GE ASAP. As Nancy and Harry have said and Howard as well, this needs to END.

The SDs haven't moved their dead asses yet...I don't think they're going to move on Tuesday night.
Saturday or Sunday next. Just my guess.

9. I can understand those that want to wait until the primary elections are finished. |
|
I don't agree, but I understand the thinking.

4. The Clinton machine was disabled along with their popular vote claim. |

The SDs have been keeping their powder dry at Obama's request. The detonation begins Wednesday if not sooner.
The tea is in the harbor. This is not a drill. Over and out.

6. The Tuesday results will be the determining factor. If Obama takes both SD and Montana |
|
two predominately white states then the Super delegates will come out strongly for him on Wed. However if it's a split decision or (less likely) that Obama loses both then some will hold back.

7. I think it'll either be tuesday/wednesday |
|
Or monday of the following week. They wont do it near the end of the news cycle, his campaign has been extraordinary at controlling the message.

10. He'll get it Tuesday night |
|
at least that's what they're saying on MSNBC. The supers are lining up to endorse after the polls close on Tuesday.
