Surprises happen. I think it is possible for a candidate to only have second place finishes and still lead in delegates in a three way race. If for example, Hillary wins half and Obama wins half, while Edwards placed second always, he may wind up with more delegates. I think the same could be said for having some third place finishes mixed in. It depends of course on how close the finishes are.

I'd love to see a brokered convention, where all states get a chance to have their say. That's democracy.
