Going into the convention and super delegates swing it the other way the party is destroyed. Utterly.

The kitchen sink is still being thrown at him. Moneyed interests are severely threatened.

In 2008, when Clinton ran against then-Senator Barack Obama, the Times treated the number of pledged delegates as the accurate and current delegate count in the race. The Times counted “only delegates that have been officially selected and are bound by their preferences.”

“The way the media has been reporting this is incorrect,” DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said on MSNBC on February 27. “There aren’t pledged delegates, i.e. super delegates, earned at any of these primary or caucus contests. Those unpledged delegates are elected officials, party leaders, people who have spent years and years in the Democratic Party. Members of Congress, our DNC members are super delegates. And they have the ability to decide who they choose to support at the convention at any point.”

“They’re really free to decide all the way up until July,” Wasserman Schultz added. She later added that combining “super delegates” with “pledged delegates” from primaries or caucuses at each phase of the contest does not provide an “accurate picture” of how this works.

In other words, when MSNBC puts up graphics like this, it is not reporting the truth of what is unfolding in the primary race:

think that the party would be stupid enough to give Hillary the nomination based on super delegates? There would be riots at the Convention.

Remember, she had the vast majority of super delegates locked up early the last time too. Most of them defected as Obama won more and more primaries and caucuses.

That led to the super delegate concept. There were some riots there. I remember watching a lot of the footage when it was on the local tv. I remember wondering if the candle light march at the end of the convention would end in another police riot.

As to this instance, I would hope common sense would prevail. I just wouldn't count on that coming from DWS.

Even if almost all of the supers switch sides there would be holdouts that wouldn't switch.

Say a 10-20 delegate lead by Sanders could probably be tilted the other way. Dean, for instance, says he's not switching and that he's using his vote the way he intends, etc.

It would be epically bad.

....the Democratic party will burn down along with the Republicans.

to Hillary via superdelegates in tandem with a brokered convention on the Republican side where they tried to give the nomination to Romney. You would see the establishment in both parties lose all credibility and a wide scale revolt against the two party system.

Oh yeah, Nevada and Iowa and MA - 9 wins, 3 ties.

next to "Count unpledged delegates More info » " and it will subtract super delegates from the total

It's like eleven billion trillion Brazilian for HRC to -326 for SBS.

I'm confused.

Hillary is, de facto, our new two-term president!! Bernie should resign yesterday.

as some of the states that have already voted have been, especially all those Deep South states
