| The heckling of even Clinton supporters on the Rules and Bylaws Committee by audience members upset with the results is an embarrassement, but we now have a clear picture of how many delegates Obama needs to clinch the nomination. Not the best day in the history of the Democratic party, but the committee made the best of a bad situation. Al Giordano does the math, makes a few conservative predictions about the results in Puerto Rico and on Tuesday, and offers that Obama now only needs 25 superdelegates. The Obama campaign almost certainly has that number of superdelegates willing to step in and end this. So after today, the end is finally in sight. A few careless and destructive people might still be chanting "Denver," but few in the party will see the need for this to go on any longer after Tuesday --- and with their actions today, those protesters have only hastened the end. |
