4. It will be over, but
Hillary will not admit it! She is going to go down in flames, and take Obama and the democrat party with her, sad but true!

12. Honestly, no.
May 20 is when Obama will have over 50% of the pledged delegates. At that time he'll get a very big Superdelegate bump. It could end at that time if that bump turns into a landslide. But Clinton has not given up on Florida and Michigan yet. Since May 20 is only two weeks before the final primaries (and she's hoping to do well in Puerto Rico) she'll probably figure she may as well finish out the season. Why wouldn't she, after fighting so long.

At that point it could really be over because the Superdelegates may finally endorse in great enough numbers to make it clear that it's over.

But I wouldn't put it past her to go all the way to the convention either and contest each and every delegate in every way possible, force the Supers to vote the way they say they will instead of faltering, push the issue of FL and MI, and then if Obama somehow does not manage 2,024 - who knows what could happen.

*sigh*

How depressing.

I'll keep my focus on May 20 for now.

15. How can
anyone predict, when one of the candidates is irrational? Logically, it should have ended months ago.

16. Hillary is taking this to Denver where she will throw a temper tantrum
and get her supporters into a frenzy causing a prime time TV psycho-drama that will harm the party's chances in November.

17. If Obama hits the number with SD's and Hillary is stubborn...
..doesn't she risk losing the support of her SD's that at some point are smarter than she is??? She might not make it to the convention with all her SD's intact.

19. Obama will slip on a banana peel, therefore embarassing himself in front of the nation
and handing Hillary the nomination
