Sadly, no. by nightflameblue (4.00 / 1) #6 Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 10:56:50 AM EST

I never really believe it. But it's like watching Ep. III for the twenty-third time. No matter how many times you've watched it, some small part of you always hopes that when Padme shows up on Mustafar to confront Anakin he'll start making out with her instead of force-choking her and leaving her for dead. But it never happens that way.

I'm not deluded. My mistake is hope in the impossible.

Your sad devotion to that ancient religion by Rogerborg (4.00 / 2) #8 Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 11:08:40 AM EST

... uh... democracy... has not helped you conjure up the stolen primaries, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Cabal's hidden super delega...

No outright majority = a tie.

A tie = a super tie break.

And it's only ever going to break one way. The best Obama can hope to achieve is to refrain from blubbering when the super vote sinks in, sans lube.

Obama has an outright majority by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #11 Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 11:14:32 AM EST

And even if he loses the remaining primary he'll retain that. At least in the popular vote. Which the Democrats care about.

Heheh, that's funny by Rogerborg (4.00 / 1) #19 Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 01:38:48 PM EST

Counting Michigan and Florida, Hillary is leading. If you want to supervote for Hillary, do you count Michigan and Florida?

Before answering, check how many news outlets have challenged the Clinton-declared PA margin of victory of 10%, versus the 8% that the tedious boring old numbers actually indicate.

: Actually both numbers are correct by lm (4.00 / 1) #27 Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 03:22:46 PM EST

If you round first, then take the difference, it's 10.
If you take the difference, then round, it's 9. (The 8 was a bad report. For some reason the Pennsylvania secretary of state put the wrong number up for one county.)
So, at least this time, both candidates can spin it their own way without any falsehoods. The difference is either single digits or double digits depending on when you round. Either way, the arithmetic is honest and, to be fair, doesn't really make any significant difference.
There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.
