The Delegates Vote For the Ultimate Winner
I swear it seems as if none of you have ever paid attention to a primary before, or watched the seating of Delegates.

When it comes time for the Great State of Kukamonga to cast its votes -

Every Single State Will Vote For The Ultimate Winner.

None of this delegate garbage about Florida and Michigan matter one whit. In August, ALL the delegates will be on the same page. It always works that way.

The odds of there being some kind of floor fight, with vote after vote, are slim. That's part of the purpose of the super-delegates, to end those kinds of battles.

The only reason Hillary wants to claim the delegates now is for momentum, so people who are unaware will think she is leading and "inevitable".

Don't fall for this garbage. It doesn't matter who FL and MI vote for, the winner will probably be decided on Super Tuesday, or soon thereafter. And then in August, everybody will be on the same page.

1. That's after the nomination, not when the nomination is being contested.
So silly indeed, Obama, Hillary, and Edwards will go into the convention with their delegates. Those delegates will decide the ultimate winner, in which case, once they are seated, they will decide that winner.

That's the way it's happened for a very long time. We will know the winner within a month. Nothing is going to be happenin at the convention except a freakin' party.

3. Indeed we will.
Hopefully. A brokered convention is not something the party needs.
