Wow - just saw this: Imagine a best case scenario, where Clinton wins every remaining congressional district by almost 25%.
Her gain? Only 110 delegates. Obama would still lead by 50 pledged delegates.
Now do you wonder why she’s fighting so hard for MI and FL to count?
After Hillary’s surprise (for some not me) victories in Ohio and Texas there has been a lot of post-shock spinning going on. After Hillary was out advertised and out spent in Texas and Ohio by more than 2 to 1, Hillary still pulled out a double digit victory in OH and a huge upset in [...]

I read a lot of debate and arguments going on about the role of superdelegates and whether or not Florida or Michigan should be allowed to seat their delegates. I must say one argument that is being applied selectively is in favor of Obama. Obama supporters, indeed obama himself, and many liberal blogs says [...]
Barack Obama picked up a key endorsement Monday from Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, who said he backs the Illinois senator for the Democratic nomination for president.
