Reply #10: It's critical until Hil loses the election, then it's irrelevant because...

[grytpype]

1) Anything can happen at the convention,

2) The pledged delegates can change their votes from Obama to Hillary,

3) If that doesn't work, the superdelegates can overrule the elected delegates and the popular vote,

4) If that doesn't work, then since she would have won more electoral votes if this were the general election instead of the primary and somehow she and Obama were running against each other, then she sort of won and just give it to her already, or

5) She runs as McCain's running mate on a national unity ticket.

I made up #5 but the 1-4 are actually Hil's official positions! And it's all about democracy mind you!
