| If a candidate is leading in popular vote and pledged delegates going into the convention... |
|
but the other candidate wins the nomination because of the way the superdelgates vote, or because a state with only only one name on the ballot gets their delgates seated, what will happen?
Discuss...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4520988Still looking for original link. In any case, they were very close after Feb. 5, and if Obama isn't ahead by now, probably he will be after Tuesday's contests.

| 5. We would have a nominee decided based upon DNC rules, and hopefully the other |
|
candidate would be gracious and get on board.

| 7. I would hope Obama would not be gracious in such a scenario. |
|
I surely would not be. In such a circumstance, I would be in Denver joining the riots.

| 10. First of all, this scenario is just as likely (if not moreso) to go the other way - |
|
will you still "join the riots"?

I would not vote for Obama were he to win the nomination that way.

| 15. How do you get popular votes from a cacus? |
|
When only 200,000 participated in Washington State. Otherwise they would have closer to 1 million voters in a primary.

| 8. The undemocratic Clinton supporters will tell you that would be just groovy |
|
And the democratic Obama supporters will tell you that it would be disgusting and prove that not even the Democratic Party gives a damn about election reform.
