On to the Convention!! May McCain and his minions become demoralized.
Where anything can happen and can happen. And absolutely no one knows for sure what will happen ESPECIALLY when we have not had a candidate that wasn't an incumbent President or VP EVER since they took the control out of the smoked filled back rooms after the 1968 Convention. And the first time that we haven't had a candidate's nomination locked up long before the end of the primary season.

To those that were complaining about the unpledged delegates (super delegates) having too much power. You should be glad they are there. They are in a way a safety valve.

I don't believe there will be much animosity between the Obama and Clinton delegates mainly because most of the delegates will have been there before and know how to behave civilly. And know that the final outcome of beating McCain is in the interest of everyone.

The following were either President or VP and running for election.
2008 NONE
2004 Bush
2000 Gore
1996 Clinton
1992 Bush
1988 Bush
1984 Reagan
1980 Carter
1976 Ford
1972 Nixon
1968 Humphrey
1964 Johnson
1960 Nixon
