- Aidenag, on 03/06/2008, -0/+11Between this, and hillary barely gaining any delegates on Tuesday, i think its safe to say she is done for.. Of course she(and her supporters) wont listen to the reality of the situation, but for all intents and purposes, she is toast.
- canewediggit, on 03/06/2008, -1/+7hopeful, but not digging them until i see them.
- madfrogurt, on 03/06/2008, -0/+4Neither Obama nor Clinton will have enough regular delegates to gab the nomination alone. The real question is how far the Clinton camp will go in trying to steal the nomination, specifically trying to grab the sham votes from MI (and to a lesser extent, FL) and trying to have the superdelegates vote against the majority's wishes.
- ironrex, on 03/06/2008, -0/+3I hope you're right, but thats a misleading title. "Confirmed:" my ass.
- caliky, on 03/06/2008, -0/+2Its really hard to say, but a good rule of thumb is that 4/5 of the delegates are decided by popular elections and 1/5 is decided by party leaders.

Not confirmed, in fact, quite the opposite! - danielf, on 03/06/2008, -1/+2OBAMA FTW
- DiggLive, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1It will come down to superdelegates, the only thing that would make it messy is if they hand the nomination to one of them after not winning in delegates/popular vote.
- Aidenag, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1You would be the one failing here Gypsi, This is a paper that has been around since 1908, and its quoting a US Congressmen......
- dunderballer, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1From Gore's previous statements it kinda sounded like the DNC was encouraging superdelegates to hold out to see where the popular vote and the primary delegates end up to avoid having the supers change the election results. Before OH/TX, I kind of expected the undecided supers to put in their pledges to lock in the vote soon after but with Clinton's performance, maybe they will be holding out longer. Especially now that there is talk of redoing the FL MI primaries - with both candidates on the ballot. According to Howard Dean, It doesn't sound like the DNC is opposed to that as someone else pays for it.
- lukeduke, on 03/06/2008, -1/+2I think it comes to down to a celebrity deathmatch on the floor of the convention. Obama doesn't stand a chance.
- borez, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1Can somebody please give me a heads-up on these so called superdelegates ( I'm from the UK ) What's the relevance...do they get more than one vote or something?
- HolyCrapYo, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1Each state has delegates based on population. For the democrats they need to win 2,025 delegates to be the nominee. The winner of each state is awarded delegates based on the percentage they won from. The superdelegates on the other hand (former and current governors, house members, senate and presidents) have a vote seperate from the allocations. Their vote is their decision and has nothing to do with what each contender has won.
- borez, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1Sooo; a superdelegates vote = how many normal votes?
- gypsi, on 03/06/2008, -2/+2is this a student newspaper? i want to believe, but this rumor has already been debunked. this reporter fails journalism
- DiggLive, on 03/06/2008, -1/+1Marking inaccurate:
> However, The Hotline quotes an unnamed Obama campaign aide who says the report is "wrong." - Skitzzo, on 03/06/2008, -4/+3If it comes down to superdelegates that's going to be one messy convention!
- gyrfalcon, on 03/06/2008, -7/+150 SUPER DELEGATES.... become idiot delegates instantly.
