It should be a heck of a convention ...

The media's been trying to convince us sheeple that it's all over, but that's not the way the process works. Thankfully, if one of the candidates doesn't make 2025 delegates, we've got the convention. The super-delegates and party leaders need to consider the following:


(1) With big victories in West Virginia and Kentucky, she may surge into the lead in the popular vote (taking Florida into account, where they were both on the ballot). After Florida 2000, we sure don't want to see a case where the person with the most votes loses.
(2) She's won every big blue state except Illinois, and has a delegate and vote lead in the primaries.
(3)Obama has picked up his delegate lead in the caucuses and the red states he won't be able to win in November.
(4) Obama is more vulnerable in certain voter groups.

Hillary needs to ignore the media, and the people who keep telling us it's over. The convention should decide close races like this - the superdelegates need to take their time, and make the best, most rational decision over who can beat McCain.

1. Since Super Tuesday?

Or do you mean after Obama's 11 in a row victories.

2. Really? I seem to remember 11 straight wins for Obama

yes, she won OH and they split TX, but then he won landslide wins (over 60%) in Mississippi and Wyoming. She won PA not by double digits but by 9.2%, they split Guam and he won by a landslide (15-pts) in NC and she won thanks to ditto heads (less than 1%) in IN. Tonight she won an expected victory in WVA. Next week he will take OR by a big margin and she will take KY. He will win SD and Montana and she will probably take Puerto Rico. She has hardly dominated.
