Neither candidate has a clear shot at sufficient delegates.

Let's let the voters finish their job, then let the superdelegates, if needed, do their job.

Aren't those the rules? The same people, it seems, who have been so concerned about playing by the rules insofar as Florida and Michigan are concerned, seem to want to by-pass the rules insofar as the superdelegates are concerned.

It's unlikely that they would steal this from Obama if he's ahead significantly in pledged delegates (via voting) and popular vote.

However, if super delegates vote the way their STATE voted, Kennedy, Kerry, and a number of others would have to switch their support, and the math may look differently.

I make no predictions, other than at some point in the near future we will have a nominee, and some of us will support that nominee whomever it is.

I hold no grudges or antaganism toward anyone for holding opinions different than mine. It's disappointing that in a land where freedom of speech is held in such high regard, that so little regard for it survives on these boards.

It is time to put our egoes behind our country and support the candidate that is not mcCain.
