So, kudos on last night's victories and all that! Question:
What's the endgame here?

Regardless of last night's victories -- substantial though they were (I coulda sworn Obama'd get Texas, dammit! :P ) -- Hillary Clinton will almost certainly go into the convention in Denver with less pledged delegates, popular vote and states won than Barack Obama.

What, then, does she do to convince the vast majority of superdelegates to give her the nomination?

2. Is Dean really sitting on top of 75 superdelegate appointments?
Someone here disputed that article saying he could appoint 75 delegates himself. I'd be interested in knowing of that's true.

4. Me too -- my guess is he'll want to get a "unified" ticket before the convention
If the next few weeks are split rather evenly. The race is awful close this time. I'm not really jazzed about an HRC/BO ticket or vice versa, but I think that's what they may try to do.

The next few weeks will tell the tale.
