With the way the Dem primary is set up to split the delegates in most states based on popular votes, it seems difficult not to have a close race.  It is certainly a more individually egalitarian approach than the winner take all approach in most of the Repub primaries, though it is more likely to produce these protracted battles.  That said, why bother with delegates if you're going to predominantly follow the popular vote.

As history has shown there is a decent likelihood that the popular vote will split, this just pushes more power into the hands of superdelegates.  They may be elected or past elected officials, but are they elected to do a specific job of government or to decide who becomes the party's nominee?

I won't count Hillary out yet since Obama’s dirty little racist affiliation has surfaced (man of the people, yeah right). She's doing a good job of setting herself up for failure during the general election now that her first lady records are coming out. She said her plane was shot at in Bosnia, Comedian Sinbad says "not true". She said Chelsea and her had to keep their heads down and run for cover when they landed. Photos show them grinning and gripping outside the plane. Did that other guy in the democratic race quit (what was his name), he might be their best shot at prez. Looks like the Clinton mind control trick is broken (help me Obi Wan). Otherwise it's McDonalds for McCain...cause he's luvin it! 

I find it incredibly humorous that Loca comes here and defends her 'gal' Hilldog.  Of course you are happy about the idea of Hillary winning via super delegates, and of course you don't think their votes are more important, but...

Obama has won how many caucuses and primaries?  Answer: the vast majority of them.  Even Hillary's 'win' in Texas was a loss.  She lost the caucuses there, and though she may have won the popular vote, didn't collect as many delegates (not super delegates, but delegates) there.

Face facts - Hillary should be long gone and should have walked away once she didn't get the delegates she needed from Texas.  That she didn't shows what an egomaniac she is.  She feels she's owed the job.  Tells people that Obama isn't qualified while implying she is.  Why isn't he qualified?  Not enough experience she says.  What real experience does she offer?  First lady?  Wife of the commander-in-chief that was getting a BJ when he should have been working on protecting the security of the nation?  Mrs. failed health care plan?  Mrs. Whitewater.  Mrs. how much is that pardon in the window?  Mrs. President whose National Security Advisor stuffed classified documents down his pants in order not to let the original materials be examined because they could reflect badly upon the President or himself?

Yeah, she has a ton of experience.  Experience in making money in the stock market with little or no effort.  Experience in carpet bagging into the job of Senator in one of the most liberal states in the Union, rather than going back 'home' where there wasn't a chance in hell of winning a job as a Senator.

Who do you want answering the phone?  The guy that associates with people with beliefs similar to Kanye West (even if he doesn't share those beliefs) or the woman that wasn't aware of where her husband was when he was trying to have some sort of relationship with Mrs. Willey, or Paula Jones, or ....

Yeah, I'd be supporting her ass all the way to the end too (NOT!!!)

Good one!
