Relax! MI&FL will get delegates ...

I have no inside knowledge, but here's some basic principles.

• Obama is not foolish; his team has had a lot of time to think this through.
• All the Democrats really, really want to win the White House in November, and also the 60 votes in the Senate needed to stop Republican filibusters
• Therefore, they are not going to do anything that would let the GOP accuse them of going against the will of the majority ("count every vote" etc.)
• Therefore, super delegates will not overrule to pledged delegates
• Obama will finish the primaries leading in pledged delegates
• Therefore, the super delegates will give Obama will have enough delegates to win even if Hillary gets the majority of MI& FL deletegates.
• Therefore, once Obama's nomination is secured, there will be a deal to give Hillary a face-saving majority of MI&FL delegates but not enough to overturn the Obama nomination.

Hillary may see this coming and quit at a time that lets her save face; that means MI&FL get their delegates a little earlier, that's all.

Hillary, Obama and McCain go into a bar

...and the bartender says, "What'll you have?"

Hillary takes out her pocket planner and says, "Well, I've got a speech in another hour, so just give me some coffee."

Obama looks at his watch and says, "I'm done for the day, so I'll have a beer."

McCain takes out his cellphone, holds it up to his ear and says, "Joe, what's our position on that?"
