    Huh?

    The only way Obama can be declared the winner is if he had earned enough pledged delegates. He didn't.

    Unless the kangaroo Democratic rules committe changed the rules, the superdelegates can can change their vote at any point up to and including the convention.

    Why is the media so intent on ordaining this guy. Why the deception and hysteria. Why the ignorance about the process? The guy is in very good position to wrap up the nomination why the need of the media and Dem "leaders" to promote ignorance in order to prop up Obama?
