Well you know as someone from the outside looking in - none of these three candidates do Americans justice! None of them have the qualities or experience to the lead a Nation.

So I really feel Americans choice is one that must pick the less of the evils among the three. And that is very sad as that won't elect the Best Candidate for the Position.

These s are misleading works about the superdelegates, skirting the reality of what is going on. And that is why CNN is ; Not the most trusted name anymore, and it used to be. And not the best political team on tv. And here is why;

CNN has to be deliberately distorting the SD facts -or- has become absurdly shoddy in its work. Obama's scored a delegate victory this past week despite Clinton's wins last Tuesday. Not only did he win Texas in total delagates, but much more than that, and still has the momentum. Those are the mathematical facts. Please check this Wolf, Cafferty and all:

All the super delegates who announced the last six days their endorsements:

Obama

1. DNC Carol Fowler (SC), 3-4-08
2. Mary Long (GA), 3-4-08
3. Roy LaVerne Brooks (TX), 3-4-08
4. Rhine McLin (OH), 3-5-08
5. DNC Jane Kidd (GA), 3-5-08
6. DNC Darlena Williams-Burnett (IL), 3-5-08
7. DNC Connie Thurman (IN), 3-6-08
8. Rep. Nick Rahall (WV), 3-6-08
9. DNC Teresa Benitez-Thompson (NV), 3-6-08
10. DNC Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker (CA), 3-7-08
11. Rep. Bill Foster (IL), 3-9-08
12. DNC Mary Jo Neville (OH), 3-9-08

Clinton

1. Sen. Barbara Boxer (CA), 3-6-08
2. DNC Mona Mohib (DC), 3-6-08
3. DNC Aleita Huguenin (CA), 3-7-08
4. DNC Mary Lou Winters (LA), 3-8-08

So that's an 8-delegate advantage for Obama.

As for the elections:

Obama Clinton
OH 66 75
RI 8 13
VT 9 6
TX 99 94
WY 7 5

Total 189 193

That gives Obama a four-delegate victory since last Tuesday. Add the four delegate gain out of California after that state's vote was certified, and we're up to 8 delegates for Obama. Throw in the four delegates Clinton lost in California, and that's 12 delegates for Obama. Today we had DNC member and super delegate Everett Sanders of Mississippi endorsing Obama, so make that 13 delegates for Obama.

So officially, Obama has a 13-delegate advantage for the week even before Mississippi votes tomorrow. Throw in the unpledged delegate in Wyoming who will certainly be an Obama delegate, and unofficially, Obama notched a 14-delegate gain in this "week from hell" for him.

Please tell the truth on your broadcasts - it is important. And you might regain the trust of those who used to feel that way. Rick Mc

Wolf, Obama has the proverbial 'coat tails' that other Democrats can ride to office…he has the momentum; clarity; brings in new voters and raises the most money - he is the 'superstar' of superdelegates….no choice - Hillary has peaked in the party.

Hey Wolf,,,Maybe they should just start counting papaer ballots ,,,remember those!!! Im really listening to all the canidates ,but does my vote really count,,,Danny

What would the delegate count look like if the superdelegates, as you suggested, followed the voting of their states or districts? Who would benefit more?

The sure way to get me to vote Republican is nominate Hillary Clinton!

There are competing arguements as to who is more electable. I beleive Obama's is stronger, but thats not what Im arguing this post. Im arguing that he only need to convince 1/3 of the remaining superdelegates of this. Seems to me an easy task considering all the excitement he has created and the consequences of disenfranshising his supporters (of which is the most loyal democrat voting block, blacks). I don't think she has a chance.

For what Spitzer did Hillary Clinton should not be able to use him as a Superdelegate.

Wolf, it is simple: 2025 OR Super Delegates

You want to use CNN to teach the Super Delegates what they should do, and now?

You want to say no Super Delegates and now?

The reason for the entire operation and the convention is to pick the best candidate to beat the Republican nominee. I have no doubt that Barack Obama is the candidate most likely to be McCain. First, the arguments about who has the most experience is a crock. None of them has the experience as a executive, much less, the Chief Executive. Second, a better measure of who should be president is who makes the best decisions. Looking back on the terms of both Hillary and J. McCain it is hard to find dozens of votes/decisions that turned into disasters. At least Sen. Obama can say he didn't support the Iraq invasion. Third, Sen. Obama, has shown he can bring independents and even some republicans to vote for him. Sen. Clintons supporters appear to be largely long term Dem. party voters who are not likely to vote for the Elephants no matter who runs. So, I think it is pretty clear who has the best chance of rescuing the country from incompentent incumbent.

Why fight it - it was said by men many years ago "A womans place is in the house"

Go HILLARY!

Hillary Rodham Clinton rolled her campaign to her stronghold state of Pennsylvania today, sidestepping a direct presence in Mississippi ahead of its primary Tuesday. I hope the so-called little state superdelegates are paying attention that Hillary only has a taste for directly campaigning in BIG STATES. Senator Obama has shown that all states are worthy of his attention as a presidential candidate. "Change You Can Believe In-OBAMA 08!"

The job of the superdelegates is to support the candidate whom they think is best able to win in November. Any of them who think that the person who comes out behind in popular vote and delegates is the choice for that are complete morons - regardless of which one that ends up being. To go against the results of the primaries so squarely would cause a backlash the likes of which they've never seen before.

Obama needs to flat come out and say being First Lady for 8 years does not qualify you to be president nor does it qualify you to have presidential experience. That SNL skit also need to be reversed considering Hillary has taken all of Obama's campaign ideas and slogans and tried to make them her own. I've said repeatedly that if Hillary ever got in the white house she would have a secret red phone and call Barack for ideas and answers.

social networking sites are claiming wolf blitzer has become hillary clinton's biggest fan……..thousands are emailing each other telling them to boycott the situation room until wolf blitzer becomes less pro-clinton. personally i will tape the show so i can watch jack cafferty…i won't miss his segment. WOLF BLITZER STOP THE PRO HILLARY stands and get fair.

I dont live in The US but as many of us around the world we keep a close eye on American politics as these outcomes affect us in the wider world as it does America and Americans. From the outside looking in it seems to me that the super delegates should be true to your constitution and the values that your country is built on, and that is to step up and endorse the will of the people. Whichever candidate at the end of this process has gotten the majority of votes from the American public should also be the choice of the super delegates. To not do that would be to deny the very constitution that your country was founded on which simply at it's core is the preservation of the right of the people's will to be truly and honestly reflected.

Eliot Spitzer is a superdelegate committed to Hillary. Remind you of the 90s again? I rest my case.

Obama '08

Aloha Wolf,

The superdelegates and other delegates should vote for the candidate who will be the best president. This is the candidate with strength, perseverence, experience and the capability to resolve issues.

The general won't be won by a candidate who may maintain a close lead in the primary because of a 90% plus black vote. The racial fallout would create a very distracting backlash!

The nominee should be the candidate who has won the large states needed by Democrats in the general.

The numbers may be close at the moment but the qualifications for the job are extremely far apart. The world is watching, and Hillary is doing well abroad.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 and the smart choice! Yes, we will!

CNN and Wolf and Obama are pretending not Knowing what "Super delegate" means. Or they do know but they want to change what it means.

Anything should change before the game.

Why did not you cry to change it before the election?

If just select the simple lead in the vote, then why bother having the concept?

Eliot Spitzer is a superdelegate committed to Hillary. I rest my case.

The democratic party is busy in their own fight. Right now we should be working to unify the party. It seems as if there is no choice, they Must run together to make the party strong again. United we stand. The problems is no one fights for the #2 spot. The super delegates need to decide which one has the better chance overall, to be number 1. Once that is done the other better humble themseves for the #2 spot or its, hello President Mcain

Wolf, you and CNN really are biased in favor of Clinton. I used to rely on CNN, but now have switched to MSNBC for unbiased reporting. Jessica Yellin is a disgrace and you are rapidly becoming her.

Question? Is Hillary and Bill using the blacks? Why would they even suggest that to Mr. Obama? No respect. Are they desperate?

If we go with "will of the people" and define it as the people who bothered to go out to a caucus or primary, then Clinton has a narrow lead in that popular vote (.1 percent), that's counting the people in Michigan and Florida who bothered to go out and vote.
What is your definition of "will of the people"? If you want to ignore Florida and Michigan because of "rules" then aren't you supporting party honchos who blew this royally by trying to punish Florida and Michigan in the first place? They're not exactly "the people" as I think of that term.

In 2000 Democrats fumed that Gore won the popular vote but lost in the Electoral count (in the end). So, is popular vote more or less democratic than a delegate, or representative, vote? What have you done lately to change the Electoral College method of finalizing the next president and switching it to the popular vote?

I don't have the "true answers," it just seems a big mess right now. But there's been alot of these messes in American elections. Let's live with it, deal with, and embrace it as what true democracy can look like sometimes.

Hillary Clinton wins blue states that are going to be blue anyways regardless of the Democrat nominee (and if Clinton supporters vote for McCain just to spite Obama, they don't deserve a Democrat in the White House anyways), while Obama puts purple and red states like Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, and even North Dakota in play.

Senator Obama has won the TWO BIGGEST states:
Alaska and Texas - look at a map!

When is the media going to STOP saying that Billary won Texas - Senator OBAMA WON TEXAS. Texas is a two step process - primary and caucaus - Senator Obama won the MOST DELEGATES!

with all this talk about doing what the people want. What about what the people here in FL want? We voted and even though our votes didn't count we still came out in some of the largest numbers our state has seen. That says we want HILLARY!!!

LOL….DO ANYONE REMEMBER THE DEBATE IN TX……..OBAMA AND HILLARY AGREED THAT A NOMINEE WOULD BE PICK FOR THE DEC PARY BEFORE THE SUPER DELEGATES PLAY A PART IN PICKING THE NOMINEE AT THE CONVENTION…..SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY HILLARY IS MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT MI AND FL HAVING A SEAT AT THE CONVENTION….IF SHE AND OBAMA AGREED A NOMINEE WOULD BE PICK BEFORE THE CONVENTION…….SOMEONE NEED TO MAKE HILLARY EAT HER OWN WORDS…OBAMA CAMP NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT AND MAKE HER EAT HER OWN WORDS …..

HIllary Clinton will win the nomination..She has won too many of the largely democratic base voters..

Meanwhile, obama has won largely republican states that won't vote for him in the general..Electibility..

Superdelegates must back Clinton. Thank you!

Hillary 08

Should Obama go into the convention with a lead in States and delegates won, and the supers give the monimnation to Hillary we all, every voter in my family (9), will vote Rep. in the general election. In doing so we may indeed be thowing ourselves on the sword, But we feel that is the ONLY way to send a strong message to the Democratic Party that we simply will not accept that type of backhanded politics.

The super delegates need to go with the candidate who has the most pledged delegates. If they don't, then I will never vote for a Democrat again. Why vote, if ultimately it doesnt count because a well connected politician can wheel and deal behind the scenes in order to steal an election?

The superdelegates will be forced to give the nomination to either candidate who has the pledged delegates and the popular vote. If neither candidate has both, it up for grabs. Stealing the nomination from Obama or Clinton if they lead in pledged delegates and the popular vote, will unquestionably hand McCain the presidency and severely damage the Democrat Party for years to come.

Using CNN's numbers all Obama has to do to clinch it is take 53% or the remaining elected delegates and only 45% of the uncommitted super delegates and he is in. This does not count Mich. or Fla.

I think that if Hillary is not on the ticket- Obama may have a tough time winning the election in the larger states. I also think that due to all the hateful comments from Obama folk, that Hillary supporters might not necessarily come out to vote if she is not on the ticket. We don't want to disinfrancise the young voters- but what about the regular Democratic voters who have been voting for years. Don't we matter in this too? Hillary has won among traditionally Democratic voters. Obama is ahead because of republicans and independents voting for him -and they may not continue their support against an independent or republican candidate. Is it a chance we really want to take? We would be foolish to risk everything on a candidate who has not taken any of the larger states and who is only on top now due to republican and independent voters.

The Clintonians have the supers in the bag. Half of them are old running buddies with their fortunes tied to Billary. No way their going to vote for Obama.

Sorry Obama, it's a power thing, not a race thing..

I started out in the beginning of this democratic presidential nominee campaing VERY VERY ENTHUSIASTIC, and was 100% a Hillary-backer. Quite frankly, now I am SO BURNED OUT and lost my interest, hope or whatever you want to call it. Who or what do I blame for that? Well, this whole darn campagning season started way way way too early, for one.; the fiasco over Florida and Michigan and possible disenfranchisement of the voters (although that is now being worked on) is next; somebody will probably be declared the democratic nominee before all of our states has voted is another; I mean really, what happens to those voters who have not had a chance to vote in any type of primary, caucus before a nominee is declared. I know I would be pissed and probably not end up voting in the general election because I never had a chance to vote in a primary/caucus. The campaigning started way too early, is going on way too long and needs a complete overhall. Like, lets have all of our state primaries occur in a single block of time, like every state votes during a specific 7-10 period of time, with the final results coming in the next 5-7 days later. And these superdelegates to me look like snot-nosed kids! (However, that may be I am soon to be 49 and probably am having a mid-life crisis where everyone younger than me is a snot-nosed kid!). Lets just get this done.

The Democratic Part can dip as much into their Kool-Aid and write up all sorts of crazy rules. I could care less.

Caucuses are undemocratic. Primaries should be along the general election lines. Winner takes all the electoral college votes. So primaries should do the same. It does NOT matter if you win by ONE vote or ONE MILLION. You should get all the delegates and super delegates from that state. In fact super delegates should be disbanded.

This meaningless democratic squabble is costing this country a great amount of productivity. Look at me, I am typing this message instead of doing something meaningful.

Toss a coin. Winner is the president and the loser is the VP. Then go imprison Karl Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, Condi and Powell - in that order.

I don't think it is worth the money to hold another primary unless it comes down to a tie-breaker or a final decision for a democratic candidate to run against McCain.

In which I desperately hope it is Clinton!! She is a fighter and knows her stuff! She has courage, knowledge, and alla round experience that no one can ever gain unless they have been throuhg what she has!!!

HILLARY has my VOTE!!

Obama is consistent in his speaches because he only says I didn't want to go into Iraq, he DID NOT HAVE A VOTE. He says he has good judgement, that's the only thing he judged right and if he had been privy to Bush's lies, he may have voted for it if he HAD HAD THE EXPERIENCE to be allowed a vote. How many votes has he had in the senate?? How many misses and how many presents with no vote so he doesn't have a record. He & Clinton are alike on a lot of issues, when you get to issues, but she has had these issues all along, he's just come up with them after listenign to her. Follow the leader isn't it. He doesn't know how to get it done, she does, our country is in too much of a mess right now to put someone in to learn how to get things done. They need doing in Nov. not started a few years later, if so, then we loose in 2012.

Clinton seems to be moving the goal posts almost every day that she looses. Florida and Michigan came in play after she lost in South Carolina, and the Super Tuesday. After loosing Texas and Ohio (failing to gain in delgates) and loosing in Wyoming, she now thinks that th pledged delgates do not belong to a particular candidate. What is the purpose of this primaries anyway! The solution: DNC declares Hillary winner, Obama goes back to the Senate and waits for 8 years. Mcain's term will be over and then it wil be Obama's time. Hillary then will have lost her senate seat and back to Arkansa.

Raphael

If the superdelages don't vote with the people of their district they will most likely be sitting on the outside looking in next time they're up for election. John Lewis was definitely gonna be out of here if he hadn't went with his district and other politicians should be voted out also if they don't follow the will of the people int their districts. If they want to save their political careers they better ask Billary for an IOU.

New York and California are blue states and will vote Democratic in the General Election no matter who it is…lol. That's a funny argument. Obama has a much better chance in the red states than she does.

Here are the numbers:

Pledged Delegates: Hillary = 1,200; Obama = 1,347 (+147 for Obama)
SperDel: Hillary = 238 (down from 250; Obama = 206 (up from 50)

(Note Obama is waiting for Texas Caucaus; he is ahead here: 2,3918 (vs. Hillary = 18,620; deficit of "5,298)

Totals: Obama = 1,553; Hillary = 1438
Deficit for Hillary = 115

With all the BIG states Hillary has WON, how would she overcome these deficits? She would be luck to come in 3rd place!

New York and California are blue states and will vote Democratic in the General Election no matter who it is…lol. That's a funny argument. Obama has a much better chance in the red states than she does.

Make it REAL SIMPLE: Since it will come down to super delegates deciding the democratic nomination, I say we seat the super delegates from both Fla and Mich and forget about any kind of redo. We will save much money and still get the same result.

Should the Clinton campaign lose the elected delegates and win by promising kickbacks to all superdelegates without a soul, the democratic party is over as we know it. Please someone tell me how Clinton (or any democrat nationally) can win in the general election without the black vote (and to a lesser degree the youth vote)? This 15% of the electorate is the most reliable member of the democratic coalition. If this block is disillusioned by an unfair result the democrats will never recover. Please superdelegates, step in to stop this from happening or we can look forward to decades of conservative rule. Clinton supporters, stop being so selfish and myopic.

The rules are clear. The super delegates have it if it is a close race. We must abide by their decision. If any one candidate were that clear, they would have managed enough delegates to be a clear winner. We must trust in the process. We all want a Democratic president- that's what is important. They will need to decide who can win without disinfrancising half of the Democratic party.

"Clinton’s advisers point out that she has won the biggest states with the most Electoral College votes, including New York and California. That, they say, would bode well for her against McCain." Hey Wolf, Where's the Obama spin on this issue — or does only Clinton's message on this issue merit reporting? Since Clinton's position is ludicrous (there's no chance that the Democrats won't take NY and CA, no matter which is the nominee), and Obama could have a serious response (like, I am winning WAY more independents and Republicans despite efforts by Rush Limbaugh to turn the vote out for Hillary), you have a responsibility to report BOTH sides.

1. Clinton as the Democratic candidate will crystallize support for McCain among conservative and independents who right now are wavering - some of them in support of Obama. - but who can't stand Hillary. Sad, but true.

2. During the emotional aftermath of 9/11, only a few voices in Congress had the moral courage to stand up to Bush - and Clinton wasn't one of them. Even now she refuses to admit she made a mistake, verging on outright lying when she says she didn't vote to invade.

3. When Sixty Minutes asked Hillary to confirm that Obama is Christian (not that it matters to me), she again verged on lying, saying "as far as I know, he is," which implies he may not be.

Are these the traits we want in a President?

Its obvious that superdelegates should vote according to the WILL OF THE PEOPLE. And YES, by all means look at how the candidate will do against McCain, which in case people have forgotten, the latest polls show Sen. Obama beating McCain by MARGIN OF 12%.

If the superdelegates do not do what is right, they will guarantee a win in November for the Republicans, and you can blame the Clintons & their vicious ads for that.

Shirley: "What are you idiots thinking!!!! Obama can not beat McCain….."

Except he can and does beat John McCain in every poll, which cannot be said for Clinton. Even the polls where she does beat McCain, Obama beats him by twice as many points. Who's the idiot now, Shirley?

So with Gov. Spitzer gone, I guess Hillary can kiss another Superdelegate goodbye.

i live in a very small town in texas, this caucus stuff in my opinion is
stupid! and not a fair way of voting. we had approx. 280 vote in the
primary and only 46 i believe returned for the cuacus that evening!
mostly due to their jobs. a lot of people here work shifts!
at first i believed that fl. and mi. should have a redoo until i heard
today on cnn that al sharpton is in florida sturing the pot and getting
everyone all worked up so now i think they should leave it up to
the superdelegates if needed. especially when all of obama's suport
was generated by someone in his campaine coming up with the idea
to use internet to get all these young people involved and working
the streets for him.

Well Wolf then I'd have to say, if the Super Delegates are educated folk. They will vote for Hillary Clinton. As no way will Obama win over McCain. And I pray whatever the outcome may be, it won't be a McCain win. The world does not need another Bush in mind, body and spirit. And that in my opinion, is who McCain is. Under his reign the Iraq War and maybe as well an Iran War will go on for years if not decades.

Superdelegates are supposed to vote for the person who has the best chance of winning the general election. They are SUPPOSED to vote in opposition to the popular vote and delegate count if necessary. Brokered elections are never popular but the Democratic party wants to make sure that it never puts another McGovern or Ted Kennedy on the ticket.

When you look at who is more likely to beat McCain, you have to be leaning toward Obama at this point but the more the general public gets to know him, the less majestic he seems and the more tainted his dealings appear to be. Obama's considerable lack of experence when compared to McCain and his "Most Liberal Senator" status will be hard to overcome in the general election.

Hillary on the other hand is doing very well considering how shady her past is and how negative she is while campaigning. Her biggest weakness lies in her insistence on her experience (which is blown way out of proportion) and her health care plan. McCain has actual applicable experience and can show how expensive Hill-care will be.

Superdelegates have a lot to think about for sure. One wonders if any of them are trying to get Gore to get into the race before it is too late…

If the Democrats thinks they "re going to retain the multitude Obama has brought to the fold if they ditch him, then they in for a rude shock. The only way Dems can win the election come Nov. is to present Obama. Most Clinton supporters are traditional Democrats that will vote any Democrat''s candidate. That can"t be said of majority of Obama''s supporter. Most will vote republican if obama is shortchange even if it is in protest. And it is evident that only shortchanging can remove Obama. The World is watching! It is funny to listen to the Clintons suggest that Obama should come along with them. As a 2nd or third VP or what? One thing we re not getting clear about this election is that Hillary is already a VP candidate to Bill and do not forget Chelsea who is practising for the future. That''s why she keep on stressing on experience - Bill''s experience ofcourse. It will be regrettable to let these spin masters into the whitehouse oncemore. They campained in Florida and called it Fund-Raising. Who is fooled?

First of all I do not agree with the entire Democratic system or having Super Delegates at all. I think the proportional distribution of delegates is OK, but I do not know how it is determined to split the delegates, but my sense is there is something outdated and disproportional in this system. The caucus system where they get a second vote if their candidate is not popular enough is a bunch of nonsense. Each person votes once, and no second round of voting. The fact that there are even Super Delegates is a bunch of crap! The winner should be a simply tally of popular vote. End of discussion. No Caucuses, no Super Delegates, just individual ballots, and the popular vote wins. Given the fact that this cannot be changed no, the Super Delegates should vote for who has the popular vote at their resprective level. If a Super Delegate is a Govenor, then the Govenor should vote for the candidate who one the popular vote for the State. If a Super Delegate represents a Congressional district, then he/she should vote for the candidate who won the popular vote of the district. This means that a govenor and a congress rep of the same state could vote for different candidates, but this is the vote that reflects the will of the people according to popular vote.

I guess they should have went with the popular vote in 2000 so Al Gore would have been president…

all of you obviously do not recall that the Electoral College elects the president… you need to call into question why Obama has not won the nomination by winning more states… the only reason Clinton is in this race is because she has won the "big" states… this is causing the super delegates to adopt a "wait and see" approach…

the big problem is that it has not even been close in the big states… in a lot of the red and smaller states it has been very close… another issue is that the recent polls show that both of them will beat McCain… If this keeps going Obama may end up with more states and Clinton will end up with the popular vote… All of you keep saying you will not vote for the other candidate… what is that??? Whoever the democrat candidate is you should vote for them !!! They really do not differ very much when it comes down to the issues…

I keep going back to the "unity and change" theme… Why is Obama not looking or wanting to talk about a joint ticket??? that calls into question his "unity" claim… it also looks like he is saying one thing and doing another… I am starting to wonder if this is about himself or getting a democrat in the White House…

And…Hillary just lost another endorsement and superdelegate…Eliot Spitzer.

The candidate that should win is the one with the most popular votes overall, including the big states (Obama); the one with the most pledged delegates (Obama); and the won who has won the most states (Obama). If Obama continues to lead in these areas and the superdelegates elect Hillary, then they can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye.

And, as far as elected judicial experience?…Barack Obama has 13 years elected judicial experience…Hillary has 8 years. Hillary voted for the war without reading the reports. Barack was against the war and said so while running for the U.S. Senate Office. Hillary agreed in writing that the delegates from Florida and Michigan should not be seated and has now reversed her position. Doesn't anyone get what's going on here…nothing but distortions from the Clinton camp.

If Hillary wins the nomination…I will vote for McCain, done deal. No ifs ands or buts. And I've been a lifelong democrat.

Wolfe…If the Superdelegates overturn the will of the people (i.e. whoever is ahead in pledged delgates and popular vote) I will IMMEDIATELY register as an Independant, leave the Democratic party, and vote for John McCain in the general election. I will NOT support a party that caves in to the political shenanigans of the Clintons. This is PRECISELY the reason so many people are behind Barack Obama…to get away from POLITICS AS USUAL!!

A thinking SD will look at the handwriting on the wall… Hillary and Bill are too polarizing and devicive to bring unification, concensus or compromise to Washington. EVEN IFFFFFFFF she were to win, the mid-term elections would send Democrats spinning for the next 12 years. Obama offers a chance for reason, big ideas, and public good to be brought back into the arena of politics in Washington. If the SuperDelegates don't get this, they'll lose there own seats over the next few years. As creatures of political expediency, incumbants who are SuperDelegates must recognize that their own political lives depend on riding the shirt-tails of Obama. THAT is the political reality.

Dear Wolf,

Why does the media buy into this ridiculous notion that, just because Clinton won New York and California in a Democratic primary, Obama couldn't - and wouldn't - win those states against the Republican McCain in a general election? For one thing, New York is Clinton's HOME STATE. Obama gets no credit for winning Illinois, another large, traditionally Democratic state. But Hillary wins New York and California - two LOCKS for the Democrats in November - and suddenly she's the candidate with the best chance to win?

Oh, please. Don't buy this garbage. Hillary Clinton has no appeal whatsoever to Republicans or the majority of independents. McCain and Obama both appeal to people across the aisle. Hillary is the most polarizing person in the history of politics. She can't win a general, especially if the only way she gets there is by smearing Obama and ruining the Democratic Party to the point of no return.

Come on Wolf, start acting like you guys are "the most trusted name in news." Seriously.

Ultimately, the purpose of a primary or caucus is to choose the candidate with the best chance of winning the general election. Obviously, it is much more complicated than that and there are many issues involved. However, I think the goal of the super-delagates will be to choose the person best able to beat McCain.

have a question?
obama wins younger voters and voters over 50,000.00, clinton wins votes from older and below 50,000.00, poorer and older people would not or can not be there for the caucus's it makes since with this type of demographic that he would win the caucus's. the states go with caucus's because the dnc pays for it primary's the states pay for . so are these caucus's really a reflection of the state and during the general election do they have caucus because doesn't it seem to reason if they are all primary's in the general election obama won't fair as well just like i don't believe he would even be in the lead now if it wasn't for the caucus's example texas hillary won the primary but lost the caucus can somebody bring this up in explicit detail during the news, i'm sure this would be something the superdelegates would like to consider.
Should caucuses, in which citizens who wish to express their choice are obliged to either show up at an appointed hour and sit in a room for up to several hours or not show up at all, be regarded as reflecting the popular will as much as primaries, where voters whose lives do not permit them to spend three hours in a locked room at the end of a workday can simply go into their local elementary school, vote and leave–like voters across the country do on the first Tuesday in November?

Super delegates must go by the will of the people ( delegates) or push for a combined dream ticket.

I do not agree the biggger-state is more important arguments.

if super delegates are going to decide based on bigger-state ONLY, then why did we ask people in smaller states to vote then battling snow etc? Do they think we are fools to spend our time and energy to vote and send pledged delegates– just to learn that it is not going to count anyway.

I will vote for combined dream ticket in any order if both campaign agree.

Nothing really to do with this!!!! Moreover, to do with other Politics…

Smells a bit like the movie, (Without Malice)…

I would like to think that the Superdelegates would tend to vote the way their regions have voted. And I hope they vote for the best candidate to fix the horrible mess this country has become. And I REALLY hope that they vote for the person most likely to make government TRANSPARENT, thereby eliminating the mystery of how our country is run. Imagine what we could accomplish in the U.S. if we always knew how our moneys were being used………

I agree with those here that have said that the popular vote and pledged delegate totals should matter more than anything. Absolutely. Otherwise, how could it be a democracy? Think how horribly damaging it would be to the Democratic Party, and to our nation if superdelegates ignored the will of voters. Think of the message it would send to millions and millions of young and new Democrats across the country.

Obama will have a lead in both popular vote and pledged delegates and it would be shameful and harmful if superdelegates did not recognize that.

The Super Delegates need to step in now. Send Hillary a message that she does not have a 50 state strategy. and is not a a uniter. She is losing the presidential election for the Democrats.

She should look at supporter Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend as an example. You act like a Republican and lose to a Republican when the Democrats are ready to support.

Hilliary is vying for the VP spot on the McCain or Obama ticket. Somedays it is hard to see what side she is on.

Dale has been seconded.

If Clinton wins the nomination for the democrats, my vote will go to John McCain. I guess if you go on television and cry people for sorry for you. I feel sorry for this country if she wins. Wake up people we need a complete change.

What are you idiots thinking!!!! Obama can not beat McCain…..

The superdelegates will have to go with whoever wins the popular vote, simple as that. If they go against the popular vote it will be like the popular vote doesn't count. This would be pretty much the same thing as the Supreme Court stealing the 2000 election for GW Bush. If superdelegates went against the popular vote it would destroy any ounce of credibility the Democratic party has.

ha ha. another sleazy dem to resign. NY gov. spitzer. lol

Yes. They should to pick the one who can beat McCain in Nov which is obviously Hilary who has one all big states. Why people keep saying that FL and MI broke the rules. The people of FL and MI didn't break the rules. Its the party leaders. The people of FL and MI shouldn't be held victims for the party leader's mistake.

I agree with them. The rule of Super-delegates should govern. Having said this, my gut feeling is that we will have a foreign policy crisis and that Clinton will come out swinging and makes her point. Hence, she captures the Democratic nomination. Watch-out the Iraq and Asia issues closely.

I'm glad the super delegates are leaning towards whomever can beat the Republican candidate. They should hold off to the last minute, and then go with the polls. Forget the "more heat than light" arguments about whether it should be Clinton or Obama-they are both mainstream Democrats with very minor policy differences. I really don't want another 4 years of Republicans in power.

I don't much care who they get behind, as long as they don't consider any of your biased comments to make their decisions.

Sen. Clinton wind the big battleground primary states, which are essential for winningthe general presidential election. Sen. Obama has success winning the caucas contest in many states that are going repub in the general election anyway, miss ga al Utah wy scarolina - these states are useless. Sorry to say,but true.

HILLARY COULD RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK!!!!

I thnk your bias for Hillary is obvious to anyone that watches the Situatuon Room. You do no justice to Un-biased journalism. If we didn't already know it, we know know you are for Hillary. We know you love the Clintons…..you think you can give us a break?

As far as the Supers, they should vote however they want, they shouldn't be listening to the camps of either candidate nor bias people in the press. We all know both candidates have bias memebers in the press, so the Supers will just have to use their own judgment.

I personally know 6 friends that are Republicans here in Ohio and they voted for Clinton because they believe that she is the weaker candidate! If that many of my own circle have that opinion and allowed their vote to reflect that belief, how many more Republicans feel threatened by Obama? I believe that he is the stronger of the candidates and I feel that the superdelegates hold the same opinion.

Yes. They should to pick the one who can beat McCain in Nov which is obviously Hilary who has one all big states.

I personally think that neither delegates or superdelegates should have any say in the process whatsoever…It's a ridiculous system…Whoever gets the most votes should be the winner.

I think many of you are forgetting something very important. The Clintons essentially ARE the democratic party, at least as far as the influential members are concerned. They have so many connections, so much influence, so many devoted (and rich, influential) followers. I will be very surprised if they allow BHO to win this, and I do mean allow. Even though they have been "out" of office for a few years, they are still "in" with all the party bigs.

Barrack better go ahead and take the VP offer now. If he doesn't, the party will definitely self destruct. HRC will get the nomination anyway (notice I didn't say "win"), and BHO will be OUT.

we should all be writing the superdelegates, they should represent the majority of the vote………………. the general popular vote.
we want change…………

Simple Wolf:

Who ever wins the popular vote should get the nomination otherwise the dems shouls be prepared for the political fall out

Regarding Michigan and Floriday… I'm a Clinton supporter that will support the re-vote only because there will be upheaval if we don't do it. I do think Florida was as fair as it gets back when they voted and would say they should just seat the delegates other than that sticking point. Any other way and it obviously favors Obama. A re-vote takes out the fact that others were on the ballot back in January so his percentage will likely be larger now than it was back then, making it more difficult for Hillary to make up the overall delegate count. Not sure how this is fair, but it does seem like the only option. Just don't say Hillary is complaining — she is doing what is for the best of the country, still knowing that the rules have really played against her.

I would think they would go with popular vote. By June, that will be Hillary Clinton, but I don't think they would risk a lawsuit by Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson so they will go with Obama.

The super delegates will either be picking Senator Obama or Clinton.
If they pick Clinton, they'll have endorsed deception and a willingness
to do anything to win. In sport that's known as cheating. So merit isn't good enough? No government employee gets to lie on their application.

SUPER DELEGATES….I am hoping they are smart enough to realize that IF they really want to change the atmosphere of Washington D.C. that they don't need someone who always talks about FIGHTING!! This FIGHTING has been going on for 12 solid years, and the country is more screwed up that it has been in a VERY LONG time. What we (America) needs is a leader that knows there may be fights ahead but would rather discuss and looking for common ground before launching into things like a bull in a china shop. There are a lot of Republicans with an extremely bad taste in their mouth for the Clintons…we don't need to relive that crap!!!

I am hopeful these Super Delegates will do the RIGHT THING..IF Obama is ahead in Pledged Delegates and popular votes, regardless if they come from small or large states, you should reward his effort with your support. Otherwise you will be opening a can of worms so LARGE that the current discussion about Floridas and Michigans delegates will appear insignificant.

Superdelegates should have their independent opinion. That is what they are set up for.

Go Hillary, our next commander in chief.

I would say that Superdelegates should follow the will of their individual districts. If your district voted for Obama, you should support Obama, and visa Versa for Clinton. While the rules do say they can vote for whomever they wish, I think this only makes Logical sense for elected officials who WANT to get re-elected. Officials who go AGAINST the wills of their respective districts might find themsleves looking for employment come the next election cycle…

All superdelegates need to know is this: If you overturn the elected delegate count, then I will vote Republican.

The superdelegates should vote for who they think can and will beat McCain. We cannot allow another rep. to take office.

I agree with New York Expat. Most if not all Clinton voters would vote for Obama in November over McCain but I don't believe the opposite is true that most Obama voters would vote for Clinton. Obama brings new voters to the Democratic party and especially would help those further down on the ticket where as Clinton would rally the Republican base to come out and vote in greater numbers because they hate her so much.
So the argument that Obama wouldn't carry the big states that normally go Democratic is false and irrelevant. The Super Delegates by definition are free to vote their preferences but they better be sure their constituencies back home support that decision or they face a big backlash of support in their next election.

Obama has not won. Obama has a slight lead in delegates. Can either win the nomination with pledged delegates? NO.

Are they virtually tied in popular vote. YES. Obama is ahead without Florida and Michigan. Clinton is ahead with FL and MI.

(Obama was not on the ballot in MI - but he had ads running in Florida and she did not)

Obama has won more states. How many of the states that he won are going to vote democrat in the general? Very Few.
Clinton has won more big states that do vote democrat.

Obama will beat McCain in the general? Many 'respected polls' have 14% of Clinton voters moving to McCain if Obama is the nominee.

All of you Obama supporters are saying Clinton will steal the election because of back room deals with superdelegates.

You don't think Obama is doing the same backroom deals??

I'd love to hear one courageous superpimp stand up and say "I will not vote because this entire primary system of unelected insiders like me is profoundly undemocratic and disenfranchises voters in a country where the rule should be one-person one-vote." OK, I'm waiting.

I am one of many new Democrats who will be voting third-party in November if we see a brokered convention with an outcome different than that of the popular vote. Superdelegates need to have a long-term view of the health of the party.

I agree, except for one thing, Barack Obama is likely to have enough delegates. As it stands people have been playing with the 2024 magic number, but this number only holds if Florida and Michigan's delegates are seated. If they are not, then the magic number is 2024 minus 366 (number of delegates not seated) divided by two, which comes to 1841 if my calculations are correct. This number may be still be difficult to achieve for Obama on pledged delegates alone, but if one counts the super delegates pledged to him, then he will easily achieve this magic number. Even if they do come into play, unless Clinton does really well in both states Obamw will only need to get a few more super delegates to clinch the nomination.

Well, the only candidate who has actually demonstrated coattails in this election has been Obama (recent special election for Hastert"s seat), and the one with definite appeal to independents (a critical voter group for McCain) is Obama. All Clinton will do is bring out all of the conservative republican voters who will otherwise sit out the election to vote against her. Who can prove they can win? Obama. If you look at the states Clinton has won, virtually all of them have been won by very few votes, while the virtually all of the states Obama has won have been by large margins.

What do I think? I think that many in the Democratic Party (like Congreesswoman Nancy Pelosi) are trying to make a case for the continued existence of so called "superdelegates." While I understand that we cannot change the rules of the game at this point, it would be prudent for Democratic leadership to recognize and understand what the "superdelegate" ooks like to the average American - that of an outdate and unfair process that only causes confusion and consternation. They need to begin to understand that "the 'superdelegate' process does not a democratic process make."

DOES ANYONE AT ALL HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT OBAMA (or any Democrat) WILL CARRY NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY & CALIFORNIA? Talk to the contrary is simply rediculous. Further, I'm sick of the Hillary/media spin on Texas. With the current count, OBAMA WON TEXAS! And another thing, the delegate count is NOT close. With proportional splits, a 100 delegate lead is no easy task, and a big gulf to close this late in the game. Hillary had really lost as of Wisconsin. All the carrying on since, is just sad and sadder.

People want change. Obama 08!

WHY SPEND ALL THIS MONEY TO RE-DUE MICH. AND FL. WOULD IT NOT BE SMARTER TO SPLIT THE DELAGETES 50-50. IT REALLY WON'T MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT.SHE CANNOT CATCH HIM. I AM NEUTRAL. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT. THE PEOPLE WANT CHANGE. TO BAD THE BIG WIGS WANT TO KEEP THE STATUS QUO.

Justin,
I believe maybe you should get your facts straight. Both candidates WERE on the ballot here in Florida. And BOTH candidates held "fundraisers" here.. And in all actuality the only commercials we saw here were from Senator Obama.

Don't be so certain that CA and NY will automatically go for the democrat nominated. I'm a democrat, I vote, and if Hillary is the nominee, I vote for somebody else. The dynastic aspect is highly disturbing to me and while I voted twice for Bill, I blame him for Bush becoming president. His escapades generated huge outrage among enough swing voters to make a difference IMHO.

Flash news, Hillary and Bill: The nineties were NOT all peaches and cream, and your hubris and outright lies were a major problem for your party when you rode off into the sunset. I do not want to see another such performance, and on principle I dislike the concentration of the power of the presidency within the same two famiies for, potentially, 28 years!

Oh, and you true believers posting slogans - please give us a break. Aren't we getting enough of that on the airwaves?

The superdelegates should go with the candidates that have the most pledged delegates.

Going with the candidate with the most popular votes is not the wise thing to do, for started the Presidency is not awarded based on popular votes, it is based on electoral votes just like the primaries.

Also, the yardstick to pick a nominee either for the Democrates or the Republicans is Delegates and not popular votes; so it will be sucidal to change that yardstick much more because the popular vote yardstick will not tink the election come November.

Stay with the Delegate yardstick just like the electoral college delegates.

I know the DNC awards delegates proportionately, but the Electorial College awards by state on a winner take all basis. If we apply winner take all math to the elected delegate count, which candidate would be declared the winner?

Superdelegates need to realize that Hillary is incapable of winning the general election. No matter how much Democrats and Republicans whine about their respective nominee, they will fall in line come November. This election will rest on independents who in the primary and polls have turned out overhwhelmingly in favor of Obama. Have eight years of Bush made us forget the widespread cult hatred of the Clintons? Obama is the *only* Democrat with a realistic chance of beating McCain. No amount of Clinton spin will change that.

If the dem superdelegates overturn the will of the people, it will ensure a repub white house for the next 20 years.

Then it's up to all the Women, in the USA to get more involve…

Stay at home mum's, who have young children..

Why? Bcause History is being made!!!

They should undoubtedly go with who they feel will provide the best chance to beat John McCain in the fall. I strongly believe that Hillary will get the nomination because she will lead the popular vote. Though Obama will lead in pledged delegates, superdelegates who feel Gore was cheated out of office because he won the popular vote will have no choice but to back Clinton if she wins the popular vote.

Obama, I admire you for not getting dirty like the Clintons. Don't worry, we Anti-Hillary supporters got your back. We know the truth about her and her family of criminals.

To put it bluntly, for superdelegates to vote against the will of the people would be a kiss of death to the democrat party. This looks like politics as usual with no change and John McCain would stand to win.

'08AMA

IMPEACH & CONVICT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

NO MORE BUSH'S OR CLINTON'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

the popular vote leader changes if FL and MI are counted.

Who says the SUPERDELEGATES are the best to judge who will win the White House?

Most of the SUPERDELEGATES are Washington politicians who are so caught up in the system they don't know North from South.

Come on now, only the second place supporters will argue otherwise. Does that include you Wolf?

Clear understanding of the role and responsibilities of President
Total years of experience in the public sector
Tangible accomplishments in the public sector
Relationships with fellow Senators
Relationships with world leaders
Economic awareness and solutions
References from Senators within the GOP only
Ability to communicate–planned and impromptu
Flexibility
Integrity
Ability to embrace positive change within self and others

I AGREE WITH THEM, THEY NEED TO PICK A CANDIDATE WHO WILL BEAT MCCAIN AND HILLARY HAS ALREADY ONE THE STATES THAT MATTER FOR DEMOCRATS. WHY IS THIS EVEN STILL AN ISSUE?

GO AWAY OBAMA AND TAKE YOUR RACIST WIFE WITH YOU.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILLARY/EDWARDS 08

Funny how Hillary Clinton and staunch supporter Gov. Rendell of Pennsylvania are both named at PeterPaul.com for election fraud. How can Pennsylvania's election be trusted with Govenor Rendell involved when he is being named in another electrion fraud case? Come on media, you better do your homework on this one.

Paul who posted at 2:39 PM is correct.

However, Hillary won't withdraw beacuse she lacks character, integrity and moral ethics to the right thing…the honorable thing. She cares not for the Democratic Party or for the greater good. She would rather take everyone down with her.

Super Delegates should vote will of the people. Most Popular!!!!!!!!

WOlf you are too pro Hilary Clinton.Hey, hide it a little sometimes!!!!!!

Basically, YES!

However, if the Teenage Preacher gets the nomination, for the first time in my life I'm voting REPUBLICAN!

I DEMAND AN EXPERIENCED CADIDATE; NO NEOPHYTES!

I, for one, am basing my decision on the comments written on these boards.

The SDs definately need to keep their eyes on the prize - the White House. At the same time, however, they should think about the future of the Party and keeping the core from becoming disillusioned. The fact that Obama has greater support among younger voters is especially noteworthy. A lesson, too, should be taken from 2000 when Gore lost some of the Left (who currently lean toward Obama) by moving to the center. Nader picked up some of those votes and we know what happened then!

As Anit-Clinton supporters we will vote for whoever is running against Hillary Clinton. All of the scandals she and her husband have gotten away with are truly disgusting. You Clinton supporters don't even know the first of it.

MUCH MORE TO COME…………….

Absolutely agree with them. If the purpose of this election is to win the presidency, than that is the only way to proceed. If the purpose is to have Obama as the nominee, then that strategy won't work, will it?

Tha’s simple, because Clinton is behind and so desperate, she tries to fool (”un-educated”) voters to believe that a vote for her is as good as a vote for Obama!

It’s ironical that people in US always view election in a third world country is kind of corrupted or full of fraud, now this election in US is going to be the biggest soap opera for the whole world to see!

It just going to show the world that how far Hillary Clinton will go to try to win the nomination, fooling voters by “offer” Obama the VP slot, even though she’s way behind!

This will also show the world how corrupted the “democratic process” in US could be

If any superdelegate supports hillary after the way she has run her campaign, they should lose their super delegate status. Hillary has committed the greatest sin a democrat can commit, she's aligned herself with the republican nominee(john mccain) over her democratic brethren. She truly does not care about the democratic party.

if supper delegates decide by themslef, then what is this election for? for fun?

Is it me or is anyone else afraid what HRC will do if she doesn't win? She has this crazy look in her eye at times and I fear we should give her the nomination instead of watching her descend into madness. I feel like she NEEDS this nomination more than Barack and I am willing to give it to her.

Mr. Blitzer can you are Mr. McCafferty.. Please answer 3 questions..

1. Please find out from Mr. Dean or somene who is looking for options
for Michigan and Florida (and if agreeable with the candidates) if they could add the total delegate votes with Michigan and Florida then split them in 1/2 with Obama/Clinton or 1/3 between Obama/Clinton and /McCain. Since Hucklebee and Edwards were not in running .
Or if since Obama has the most popular vote and more delegate votes if he can get a few more than Clinton. In that way they would not have to have an election and the delegates would still be seated.

The delegates could be seated with the same number of pledges
they were issued?

2. Should Clinton should be fined ? Her endorsement of McCain (saying she and McCain had expeirence and Obama only had his speech made in 2000) and she wants to consider Obama as a VP… If that were to happen and something happened to her would not Obama have to take her place the same day…whoa…

3. Obama has won 12 states but no one really reports on the other countries that has had an impact on the election the way he has. Can you all bring us up to date on those areas as well.

Superdelegates, caucuses, Texes two step. It's all too weird. Have one primary, one day, whoever gets the most votes wins. End of story. Get to business and get out of the war, get the economy back on track. Put people back to work. Times are tuff, it's time to get real. This primary stuff is a waste of time and money. If you think the electoral college is so great, look what you got out of it!

Excuse me! When the final votes in TEXAS are counted…the winner is still Hillary.

Yes we WILL!

If the superdelegates have so much power that they can choose to override the popular vote, why should the states even bother to hold primaries and caucuses?

My state held its primary, and the vote and winner were certified. I expect all superdelegates connected with my state to side with the winning candidate. To do anything else is to subvert the spirit of the Constitution and the will of the voters in my state.

And if I'm correct in presuming that the superdelegates vote in their own state primaries, aren't they, in effect, voting twice? Which begs the question: could one of these people vote for, say, Obama in his/her state primary and then choose Clinton at the convention? How does that make any sense?

Democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people!

We all know Hillary has been working for the people since college. Can someone tell me just what Obama has done that will qualify him as Commander in Chief? I'm not particularly for Hillary, just can't see what the big deal is with Obama.

The super delegates should line up behind whoever is in the lead after the last primary and put that person over the top prior to the convention. The notion that only Hillary can carry New York and California in the general election is a real stretch and I hope the supers don't put a lot of stock in that argument. If she is still behind after the final primary, the supers giving her the win at the convention would break the party apart and make it impossible to win in November.

disillusioned democrats who won't vote for Hillary when she steals this election should be factored in to that equation. I think they are significant.

As for the "do-overs" it's a dumb idea. They, Florida and Michigan, broke the rules that they voted for and this is the price you pay. It only became a hot button issue when one of the two finalist started losing. Where was the huge outcry of injustice when Ms. Clinton had the presumable lead? And the super delegate vote, should be wiped clean. They, the super delegates are American Citizens just like the rest of us, why can't they just vote like the rest and let the American people decide who we want to represent us. I just think it's a terrible precedent to set letting politicians decide who will run for president. What's wrong, The American voice is not enough. And this so-called "magic" number of 2000 something, well how about if one has 1091 delgates, and the other has 1092, then the latter wins. Period.

Please all mighty Blitzer…Tell us how they are going to vote…oh sage of biased political wisdom…Please tell us.

That candidate must be OBAMA! With Hillary as the nominee McCain will win the White House. There are so many skeletons in the Clinton's closet, and Republicans know how to use them, that is a FACT! Super delegates must be crazy in giving their vote to Hillary….. Unless, they want to give the White House to McCain in silver plate….. NOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOO FOR OBAMA!

It REALLY does not matter what I or anyone thinks. The superdelegates were designed to do exactly that; OVERTURN the will of the majority, IF the party felt it was needed. If not, why would they NEED TO EXIST? That is how it was designed to be. Those are the rules now and were in place before this all started. And, nobody had any problem with the superdelegate concept at the beginning. But now, so far into the race, Obama is trying to change the rules. He should have researched this issue before he got into the race. Now is not the time to change the concept. TOO LATE!!

As a foreign viewer who has long been acnn junkie and abig fan of yours for just as long I have become very concerned with and disallusioned with cnn and your coverage. I have been an admirer of the republican system of government as practiced in the US and felt, upuntil now that it was superior to our parliamentary form of government. But I have to say Wolf that both cnn and you have appeared to us outside who have no dog in the hunt as Lou Dobbs would say that both you and cnn are unannounced endorsers of Clinton. The idea that superdelegates would ignore the leader of the race in turns of wins delegates and popular vote to swing the nomination to their personal and subjective choice is appalling. Do you ever respond to or comment on viewers comments? If so please send me an email and explain to me a Canadian why you and cnn have become so biased.

If the superdelgates override the people's vote the DNC better buckle down and start building some bunkers.

i don't understand what's so hard:
1. if he/she won the state, then the superdelegate should abide by the voters
2. if you have the popular vote you should abide by the people

i think the superdelegate are simply trying to perceive as more important than they really are. just vote already and lets get on with this (the actual general election campaigning repubs vs. dems). i understand all the media tv, web, radio and paper are all enjoying this for ratings and ad dollars. but please lets get straight to it already.

CNN post this!

After crunching the numbers from RCP Obama wins if he averages just 46.4% percent of the remaining pledged and unpledged delegates. He will go over the halfway threshhold while Clinton can not if she doesn't get at least 59.5% of the remaining delegates. If Michigan and Florida end up revoting the numbers change slightly (because the number needed to win increases) with Obama needing just 47.4% and Clint
