Quite a light show the last fifty miles, driving straight at it. Got home five minutes before the storm line rolled over. Quite a light show the last fifty miles, driving straight at it.

The "superdelegates" and the "committed delegates" who can un-commit whenever they please will determine their candidate. It matters not anyway. If the nomination goes to Obama, enough Clintonites will switch to McCain to elect him. If Clinton is the nominee, Blacks will just stay home in November with the same result for McCain. What I'm hoping for is an OBAMA/CLINTON ticket. Then America will have a clear choice: Vote Republican or "CHANGE" the country and your lives via the most liberal ticket in history. That change won't be pretty, folks.

The Rules Committee will seat both Florida and Michigan but will apply the original 50% penalty as detailed in the 2008 Delegate Selection rules. Clinton will net 40-50 delegates out of it. Clinton will go on to sweep PR to finish with a slim overall popular vote lead--and it still won't give her enough delegates and the popular vote still won't count. Both campaigns will hail the ruling as a just "solution." Etc. http://stubbornfacts.us/politics/2008_election/a_fearless_prediction_rules_committee_seats_michigan (PS--It was a treat to meet you f2f this weekend, Justin!)

Obama should still be able to go over the top with PR, SD, & Montana. In fact I hope Florida & Michigan are seated 100% just so Clinton has nothing left to complain about.
