Far worse than any divisiveness is the potential blow back from the Michigan and Florida debacle. Now if this gets decided before the wire, Democrats get to seat Michigan and Florida and say, “We have a winner and we seated Michigan and Florida”, best of both worlds.

But they can’t override Obama to do this, they simply can’t. They can endorse his victory, so to speak because he is in the lead and Clinton is at a severe statistical advanatage, but ot override Obama would be to disenfranchise half the party–essentially the same effect many think will arise should this happen at a brokered convention.

So, right now, Hillary is expected to win PA by about fifteen to twenty points, then it’s Indiana and North Carolina which are supposed to go to Obama. I think what will happen is that after PA, Hillary will be humored one more time, but after Obama wins Indiana and NC, everyone’s going to take one last look at the math and be like, “That’s it, let’s call it.”

It may seem implausible now, when everyone is already digging their heels in for a brokered convention, but I have a feeling that Howard Dean wasn’t wrong when he said that he won’t let it get to that.

remember, Hillary needs a forty point mauling of Obama in PA, and a twenty point blowing in every other state following in order to stay competative in delegates.

Totally off topic, I know I was going to post that one thing you sent me yesterday, but chose not to mainly because I’m having a hard time deciding what tone and what direction I wanted things to go here. I’ve been incredibly harsh on Hillary, and I’ve wanted to back down on that, yet at the same time I need to express some frustration. I may still post that letter, but I’m not sure if or when.

However, the delegates from both states could easily be seated at the convention if Hillary acknowledged the obvious and dropped out of the race. (Ah, wishful thinking sure is a solace to me!)
