I agree.
If you are correct, then our odds of winning the White House, regardless of who becomes are nominee, are significantly worse than we thought. Neither candidate is likely to win with half the party believing their victory was illegitimate.
I know for some folks this is hard to get their heads around. For some folks "come together" means only "come to me", and "unity" sounds more like the Borg message of "be assimilated or be destroyed". If you are one of those people, you will likely not understand how much damage Barack can do to himself by preventing solutions for these states.
exactly. the magic number will not be the current one at the convention.
They'll be seated and it won't harm his numbers. So once that's done (assuming it to be true for the sake of argument at least) there won't be any reason for Clinton supporters to believe his victory was not legit in your opinion right?
Probably not.
It's stil possible that the guesstimations of actual votes comes out in favor of Clinton. He needs to have a clear victory there as well.
I'm currently supporting Obama because he's the only one that can currently hit all those legimization metrics even with Fl and Mi included. (Total and pledged delegates and total votes.)
But he really should hit all three of them. Unlike the saying with this contest two out of three would be bad. If it came to a candidate missing one of the legimization markers, I'd rather go for the person winning the popular vote then the pledges delegates. But I'm hoping that it won't come to that, and that Obama will earn the nomination on all metrics.
Get over yourself. Either candidate is a winner over McSame. I'm sorry if your candidate doesn't score the big one. Mine (Hillary) might not either, but whoever gets the nomination is by far better than McSame. That needs to be your (and every Dem's) mantra. Repeat after me: ____ is by far better than McSame and I'll support her/him no matter what! It is time for our party to heal. You can be a part of the healing process, or you can choose to side with the Repubs and hurt us and our country!
