Poll question: Which is better?
For Obama to get enough SDs today so that the votes in South Dakota & Montana put him over the number of delegates needed, or have the SDs come out after the votes in South Dakota and Montana?

1. Personally, I think it'd look better for voters to put him over the top tonight, rather than SDs

2. I voted AFTER, but I want to change my vote.
I forgot how late the polls close in Montana, so I want the SDs to end this about 6 PM Eastern, and put Obama over the top THEN.

12. I don't want him to wait too late. I don't want him to wait until after Hillary speaks.

Montana elections close late for much of the country, so I don't want him to wait too late.

9 PM Central time would be OK, I suppose.

7. Exactly.
By the time Hillary speaks, she should have no basis left to keep the delusion going. She really owes it to her own supporters to allow them time to grieve, though I'd say most of them (at least the sane ones) have accepted the reality already.

6. Enough declare before polls close so that the votes from the states put him over the top
you don't want #2119 to be some party member who decided to go for Obama.

9. Exactly! Number 2119 should NOT be a party insider.
