democratic rules
The rules that will put Obama on top of the democratic ticket will not apply in the general election. Hillary wins Texas handily and loses in delegates. Hillary wins by 10% in Pennsylvania and nets 12 delegates. Using winner take all rules, as in the general election, and Hillary would have already won. These democratic primary rules are putting Obama against McCain. It's too late to change the rules, but the super delegates have to consider their folly. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Obama can win playing on an even field. The media will treat him equally with McCain, where he has had a huge advantage vs Hillary. What to do?
