There's going to be a tremendous amount of pressure on Superdelegates to switch to Obama |
|
now that McCain is the certain Republican nominee. Party leaders in red states, many of whom have already endorsed Obama, will be making their concerns heard loud and clear and the Party leaders will listen. What is interesting is all this is happening at the same time Obama is doing well and heading into a string of contests that favor him. Time is on Obama's side, especially now that McCain has become the issue.

4. They are essentially tied in votes |

And Obama will clearly have more of the popular vote by next week, in my estimation.

8. Longer than another week after that |
|
and time favors Obama.
I suspect Ohio and Texas will be essentially a split decision, unless Obama gains enough momentum from his surge to take those states as well.

12. And what is the opposite? |

Name one red-state Democratic leader that thinks Clinton is best against McCain. One.

15. I worded that poorly: |
|
I meant to say that there will be pressure on both sides of aisle concerning superdelegates.

16. Not equally, not with McCain the issue. |
|
I don't believe there will be equal pressure.
