34. So what makes this hack think he will be able to turn the tide on delegates AND super delegates?
I mean really? Currently Obama has created a sizable 140 delegate lead in pledged delegates. Clinton had a lead of 100 in super delegates, which has shrunk to something like 70 - depending the count. Unless they can over come the sizable pledged delegate lead, it is difficult to see how they keep a lead in super delegates. How does he think they will be able to convince over half the remaining uncommitted party officials to support the primary season loser?

Sorry Ickles... the ONLY way you will win this thing is to win a sizable majority of the oustanding pledged delegates, and then you still have to win more than half of the remaining super delegates.
