Hillary is five votes from the nomination [View All]

[SlipperySlope]

In my previous post, I presented a flawless mathematical analysis of why Hillary only needs 5.9% to secure the party nomination. (See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6045204)

In reality she is much much closer than that. She is only five votes away from having the whole primary locked up.

As we all know, the campaign to date has been marked with numerous voting irregularities. Even worse is the wholesale disenfranchisement of Florida and Michigan. One obvious resolution to these problems would be to seek redress from the courts.

But why stop there?

Hillary can, indeed must, argue directly to the Supreme Court to GIVE her the Democratic Nomination. And again, as we all know, it takes a mere five votes of that court to award an election to any person.

Obama should just concede now. The longer he goes on, the more damage he does to the party. If this can be ended before it gets much worse, I'm certain Hillary can find a nice ambassadorship for him somewhere.
