Is it over yet?

Is this the end?

Tomorrow (Sunday) and this Tuesday are the last two primaries for the Democratic Nomination. But it still could be a very close race! Here are the numbers:

Obama has 42 delegates left
Clinton has 244 delegates left

From RealClearPolitics.com which shows there is only 86 delegates left from 3 "states" (Puerto Rico what?) being held on two days within the next week. In other words, YAY ITS FINALLY ALMOST OVER! (but is it?) While Clinton will not beat Obama to the 2,026 delegate count, she can stop him from making the number. Obama has to basically win at least half of all the remaining pledged delegates to win.

However, there are 190 Super Delegates still undeclared which means that actually BOTH candidates have a chance at the nomination! So it isn't over, but it isn't likely that Clinton will win, with Florida and Michigan or not.


So why have all these super delegates been holding out from voting?

I heard on CNN from Donna Brazile, one of their political analysts and a superdelegate, that she has not yet declared her vote because she hopes it will help to unify the party. What does that mean? Well to me I believe it means they may not be voting because they are hoping the pledged delegates, the votes of the people, will decide the nominee. Thus these super delegates have decided to vote like citizens and they will hopefully never have to use their super-vote. Certainly, if pledged delegates decide the outcome, there will be little controversy.
