CBS isn't very reliable with their delegate numbers. Obama won't be declared as ahead of Hillary until MSNBC, AP and CNN have those numbers

if superdelegates can change their mind at any time, why are they always included in the totals? Hasn't Obama technically had the pledged delegate lead for a while now? It seems like the superdelegate total should be less emphasized at this point in the race.

So I think I've decided if Obama doesn't get the nomination, because I live in Denver, I will do my best to start some riots when the convention rolls around, you know, for old time's sake.

Because if the race ended today Hillary would win. Even if they can change their mind, so can some of the pledged delegates too technically since they are estimated. You can't ignore the power of Superdelegates when calculating the delegate counts, especially in a race this close where it is impossible to meet the threshold without superdelegates
grandjedi6 said:
Yes if they roll into the convention with no majority, all bets are off, and Hillary would have the upperhand actually, with all her Washington connnections and what not.
I say all bets are off because who knows what sort of wheeling and dealing would be going on. It would be absolutely insane, bad for the country, and devastating for the Democratic party.

Yeah, those CBS numbers are pretty much crap. Of all the media and neutral calculations, CBS gives Hillary the lowest amount of superdelegates by a pretty big margin. Meanwhile they have one of the higher Obama counts. Actually, their Hillary superdelegates are actually lower than the official endorsements that DCW tracks.

So the superdelegates would pretty much hand the election to McCain? If Hillary wins because of superdelegates, a wide majority of Obama's supporters probably won't vote at all and as you said the democratic party will be in chaos. I don't see why they'd completely fuck over their own party for years just because of their connections to Hillary.

Obama and Hillary are about even in elected democratic officials who are superdelegates. However Hillary's lead comes from DNC members who don't have to fear the public voting them out

If they go to the convention with no majority and Obama leading, then the SDs will side with him lest they destroy the democratic party.

I had serious doubts about his chances after NH, but Obama conquers all.
Let's show these superdelegates who we want to be the next president!

I'm going to write the DNC and let them know that if they nominate Hillary with superdelegates over a popular vote for Obama that I am switching to unaffiliated and NOT voting for Clinton.

It's not unexpected, because as the establishment candidate, she has a lot of DNC members either working for or closely associated with her campaign. Those who are probably already committed to her publicly. Therefore, I doubt she'll see a disproportionate rush of other DNC supers to follow her.
What's more likely is that the remaining ones will do whatever's best for the party (i.e. not rigging the election)
