Obama Loses Both NC and IN (what if) [View All]

Then what? Obama will still have a large lead among pledged delegates and even among the popular vote, an insurmountable lead in fact.

The ONLY option for Clinton will be to try to sit Michigan and Florida as is, the nuclear option. That is her ONLY option. The sooner people realize this the better.

Why is this her only option? Because, the superdelegates will NOT overturn the will of the people. They KNOW it would be political suicide and would lead to the Democrats losing the GE.

And guess what? The nuclear option will also cause us to lose the GE. What it all comes down to, and what many people have known for a long time, is waiting. The superdelegates are NOT waiting to see who is more electable, they are waiting for the states to finish their primaries so that it does not look like the superdelegates decided the election prematurely before everyone got to vote by tossing in with Obama.

No matter what happens today, Obama is the nominee. It is just a matter of time.

For those who think that Clinton still has a chance, do you honestly think the Democratic Party would not rip apart if she won through the nuke option or superdelegates overturning the will of the people? Do you give her a chance in the GE with such back room dealing? That can be the only logical reasoning for still thinking she can win the GE using the options before her to get the nomination.

Obama has won the nomination, what is left is the necessity of letting everyone's vote be counted first. I think this is very important and should be done, I want every vote counted. But take it for what it is, a way to unify the Democrat Party instead of divide it. If Hillary realized this, she would keep running but would be ripping into McCain instead of Obama, but it seems she doesn't get this, and that makes it impossible for me to respect her.
