According to CNN, the margin in Mississippi (61%-37%) will allow Obama to increase his lead over Senator Clinton by another six delegates.
Now we have 41 days until the Pennsylvania primary…who would have thought this would have dragged on this long?
I heard an idea proposed over the weekend that I am seeing as more and more likely to be the only way to finish this…a superdelegate primary. Immediately following the Puerto Rico results in June, every superdelegate must state their preference and let that be the end of it. Whoever gets the votes they need, wins. Will Obama supporters (like me) be upset if the superdelegates reverse the tide? Yes. Is it fair? Given the rules that were laid out when this all started, yes.
Having Michigan and Florida revote isn’t going to solve anything. Both of those states will be too close to see a significant delegate swing either way, and it simply pushes up the threshold for the number of delegates needed to win the nomination.
