Hillarah has more delegates in total, but that's mostly due to her super delegates, which I don't count as valid right now. Conceivably, if this remains even, they become crucial. But if either of the two have a substantial lead in pledged delegates, I can't conceive the governors and senators not coming along.
So, with Hillarah at 632 and Obama at 626 (counting only pledged delegates), this is becoming a race of attrition. From everything I heard on TV last night, that's what the Obama campaign was trying to get to. They have more money, they're gaining ground, and their man usually wins states he has time to campaign in. It makes sense, I suppose, but getting more votes in California would have been the beginning of the end for Hillarah. Now it's still up in the air.
How will either do in Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, and Texas? Guess we'll find out, but Texas should be the most interesting. Personally, I think it should scare Obama with all those Latinos--who still find it hard to vote for a black man--but nobody knows at this point and the polls have been extremely inaccurate thus far.
