    So does Obama still "clinch"?
    After Tuesday, he'll need 20-30 superdelegates. He'll get them by the end of next week at the very latest.

      Except they can change their minds and Clinton is not dropping out. More stuff could come out on Obama to get people to change their minds.

        I can't believe they caved on Florida and Michigan. If they're going to allow our states to send delegates, at the very least they should penalize Clinton for running in states where that wasn't allowed.

          Except they won't barring some fatal scandal, and it doesn't matter what Clinton says or does at that point since no one would have any reason to pay attention to her.

            Well IMO it's not fair to the voters to have absolutely zero say in the primaries because of the legislatures. I think the 50% reduction works well... I do agree that Clinton got a better deal out of Michigan than she should have (including the chance to appeal the decision).

                They should have had a revote in both states.

                  Why does the US has to make such a mess of it's elections? It's becoming such a joke that it makes me cry.

                      When exactly will the rules be made available so all the candidates can compete on a level playing field? Hopefully sometime before the convention...

                      Democrats are stunningly good at losing elections and it is plain to see why. They can't even get their own **** together.

                          If the states wouldn't pay for it (and they refused), the Democratic Party should have coughed up the bucks. It'd be much better than the giving-birth-to-porcupines mess that we saw yesterday.

                          But this conflict should be all over by Wednesday when there'll be a stampede of Superdelegates coming out for Obama (because they don't want to be left behind).

                            Stampede of Supergullibles, more likely.

                              Nope. Politicians. They wait to see which way the crowd is moving and then hurry to get in front so they can lead.

                                Wow, Michigan and Florida democratic voters are worth even less than slaves

                                The Obama camp would never alow that though, having spent many months trying to disenfranchise them he would be a complete failure on both counts.
