The process is looking more and more like Mondale redux; the party elder must get the nomination, so the upstart is knocked down as far as it takes to get the establishment to line up. This time it will all be rationalized and spun inside political circles, but the swing voters out there are well aware of how the process is unfolding. I checked some earlier conventions and found that even Dukakis had more than 2600 delegates, and Bill Clinton had 3300 in 1992. Gore swept the primaries, as did Kerry from Super Tuesday on. Even the bitter 1980 fight wasn't this close, and we know how that ended.

I don't agree with bearcatbob on much - but on this one I do. She has the Clinton machine and will get down in the mud throwing the ugliest "turds" she can find and if that doesn't work she will say - to the detriment of the party - that the votes of Florida and Michigan have to count. If that doesn't work, she will claim the super deligates were meant to save the world from Obama and say they must vote for her or else she will tell the world who else Monica did. After watching both Gore and Kerry roll over and quit, I'm ready for someone with a little more spine. I don't mind at all having a fighter or two in the party to help balance things out.
