Memo to the Superdelegates: It's Over

The Obama campaign has sent out a tough memo this morning telling superdelegates that Obama has played by the Democratic rules unlike Clinton, who can only win by changing the rules and moving the goalposts and the math is the math. With out saying so overtly, the memo clearly says: It's over. Obama will win the nomination. This pretense of an unsettled fight is ridiculous. Get on board. They're talking to you, Jim McDermott and Rick Larsen, our undecided Congressmen from Washington State.

And thus, McGovern becomes the first strong ally of the Clintons to ask her to concede. I suspect there are more in the works.

The Process Must Be Fair for Hillary Clinton as Well

WE VOTERS need to write Howard Dean and our state superdelegates and convince them that we WILL NOT STAND for the contest to be stacked in favor of Obama because "his supporters might get upset". Hillary has supporters WILL GET UPSET as well if she doesn't get a fair shake and that includes the support she got from Michigan and Florida.

News Roundup, 5/7/2008: The Aftermath

Last night's results were surprising, but were they decisive? Amid a great deal of news about ghoulish AG rulings and totally unempty rhetoric about judicial appointment preference early yesterday morning were buried stories about yesterday's primary. The newshounds held off until after lunch, and then it became all Indiana and North Carolina, all the time, as was proper. While not specific to yesterday's contests, the AP reported that several million new voters are on the scene this year. Th

No Path To Victory

It was clear to me that Hillary lacked a clear path to victory even before Pennsylvania. Now, in the wake of the North Carolina blowout and the Indiana squeaker, I don't see how she has a path at all, clear or otherwise. She's behind in the popular vote. Even if you "give" her the votes in Florida and Michigan the latter of which, Obama wasn't even on the ballot, she's still behind. She's behind in the delegate count. Obama is within 200 of the mark.

It's Not Over for Hillary!

So Obama had a huge win in North Carolina while Hillary had a tiny win in Indiana.

In regards to the delegate math, their campaign does not agree with the delegate number of their being a 2025 total with just 48 states, but instead argue that there are 2209 total, including MI and FL.

Superdelegates in the primaries

Unlike most convention delegates, the superdelegates are not selected based on the party primary primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state. Instead, the superdelegates are seated automatically, based solely on their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. They are free to support any candidate for the nomination.
