Louis Said:

How can Obama go to Florida & Michigan and ask for their Votes in the General Election?

We Answered:

It will be a hard sell. But take heart! Clinton is not out yet and she has been active in seeing those states represented. An action that I am sure will be remembered come November.

The main reason Clinton stays in the race is because she still has a good shot at winning.

All the ongoing issues with Rezko and Wright aside, there is still the issue of MI and FL with their 350 delegates. If they are seated in anything approaching the actual results, Obama’s lead shrinks to a handful.

Second, there are still about 200 delegates to be selected in 6 races.

Third, and most importantly, THE SUPERDELEGATE COUNTS FOR EACH CANDIDATE ARE IRRELEVANT!!

Allow me to explain. Under democratic party rules, the superdelegates are not locked into their selection until the convention when they actually vote. They are free to change their vote however often they want. They can go to Clinton from Obama, to Obama from Clinton, or back and forth a dozen times, it does not matter. The only count that counts is the one in August at the convention. Therefore, all 795 superdelegates are “in play”.

And just to make it more interesting, Obama leads Clinton by less then the number of currently undecided superdelegates. Until all the SDs make up their minds, they are not only in play, but ripe for Clinton to bribe, I mean, convince to vote for her.

Thus, it is way too early for her to drop out.
