Re: Kinda useless to speculate (none / 0)

As the Obama backers were so eager to tell us during the primary season, the popular vote makes absolutely no difference in a nomination battle.

If you want Unity, nominate a Democrat

Re: Kinda useless to speculate (none / 0)

We were eager to point out that popular vote is not the metric, it is delegate count. Obama won the pledged delegates, he should win.

Is there a chance Obama might not get it? Of course! Is it likely to happen without drastic changes in the race, and I mean DRASTIC changes? Not at all. Obama would have to be trailing by 15 points before that became a valid point of contention.

So there IS a possibility, but pretending that it is currently a high one is foolish.
