I tend to agree with JJ on what Obama needs to win this thing. Just because of who controls the Democratic party, and it ain't the Obama people.
I'm confused. J.J. said:
No. It comes down to this. Obama has a majority of all delegates, minus FL and MI, or Hillary is the nominee.
Isn't that kind of obvious? Whoever has the majority of delegates wins. What's the connection between that and who controls the Democratic party?
It makes sense if you believe that J.J. meant that Obama's lead in pledged delegates was more than enough to overcome the Clinton bias in superdelegates.
Given that Obama's people have been claiming that the superdelegate numbers have evened up, and given all of Obama's establishment support during the competitive phase of the campaign, I still find it hard to see where Sam Spade's prediction that the superdelegates will somehow stampede to Clinton is coming from though.
