1. I think I'll believe it when is see people actually voting
after all Kerry won the exit polls and Dean "won" the nomination prior to Iowa

2. How is that possible? I'm not really familiar with the primary process
Since Obama won Iowa, shouldn't he have er... more delegates than anybody?

4. it's just CNN estimating by adding IA delegates and projecting from their estimations
this is so stupid, it really doesn't belong on this board, IMO.

3. Ridiculous, that has CNN ESTIMATING based on? Their own fucked up polls?
"Total Delegates include the results from Iowa and CNN estimates for other states".

5. It's those democratically selected superdelegates...oh, wait.
There is nothing in the least democratic about their selection.

7. Superdelegates - Yes. (i.e. Terry McAuliffe, etc).
And they have been "accumulated" and not selected or even elected.

8. These include the so-called super-delegates.
many of whom have declared for Hillary.

But it has little to do with anything, and not representative of the electorate, only the party insiders.

Obama won the first primary. The primaries is where the real delegate blocks are. Not the super-delegates.

10. If you want to see official superdelegate endorsements
You can check my blog http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html">2008 Democratic Convention Watch

I only list superdelegates that have officially endorsed candidates unlike CNN's anonymous surveys.
If you haven't seen it before my blog has anythign you could ever want to know about the Democratic Convention in Denver.
