>>we might just think honestly that Hillary is better candidate<< Are you a Superdelegate? Or, did your state not hold its primary yet? Whoever gets 2024 (or 2025) delegates wins the nomination. Somebody might think someone else would be a better President and hasn't even run in the primaries. At this stage and in the Primaries process the one who is a better candidate doesn't matter except in the states still to hold their primary and for the Supers. Everything I see shows that at this point, and since March 5 or so (except for some 1-week "blips"), Obama would do better in the General Election than Hillary. The mathematical hurdle is almost insurmountable for HRC. HRC's negatives are too high for SD to move toward her and for committed SD's to switch to her. Anything is possible "until the fat lady sings", but I hear the music.

You go and explain to the world how just a few folks can overturn the will of the majority just based on "we feel....". It is what the majority feels and not just we feel. The supers understand that very well and they are not heeding the type of logic you advance here which is very similar to the Hillary campaigns logic to the superdelegates. Putting forth a logic that Obama cannot win because he failed to get votes from White Blue-collar workers and dismissing the votes he got in SC as mere African-Americans voting for Obama like they did for Jesse is racist. But instead saying that getting a majority in the entire nation in all areas from among all cross sections proves electability is race neutral. I think we need to come back to issues instead of race. Obama built up his lead when both candidates focussed on issues. Now that Hillary has made it a race issue, she should expect a big backlash not only from Clyburn, a Black man but also from Howard Dean, a White man, Nancy Pelosi, a White woman. I am glad and proud that these folks are now standing up for what is right.
