Isn't it also highly likely that neither one of them will receive the requisite number of delegates prior to the DNC? The odds of either one of them getting more than 60% in any of the remaining states is fairly low, and if you crunch the numbers, somebody has to get a huge 2-1 victory in a state or two to make the minimum delegate number. If that is the case, then 'mathematically' doesn't really matter. What will matter is who is the better back-room wheeler-dealer at the convention or in the weeks leading up to it. Hmmm . . . I wonder who has more experience at behind the scenes wheeling and dealing?
Of course, this is all contingent on whether or not the re-votes in FLA and MI will be LEGAL or will take place at all.
It's hard for me to envision even Clinton's most desparate attempts being able to overcome Obama's lead in delegates and the popular vote, but I hear ya. It's going to be nasty.
It all depends on how many deals they can cut and how much dirts they've got on the superdelegates.
I'm not a fan of Clinton - if Obama losses the nomination to her and doesn't join her 'golden ticket' - which I don't think he should - then you'll see the Reagan Democrats rebellion all over again as scores of folkes vote for McCain - mainly from the liberal intelligentsia and the large bloc of African Americans to the youth vote who are so invested in Obamamania and disgusted by Clinton's typical politics that they just won't stand for it.
