he super delegate issue is unconscionable. There is a real chance our candidate will not be the one who gets the most votes. I can’t tell you how mad this makes me. I have created a protest site here

Add your comments. I am going to print every comment out and walk it to the DNC headquarters. Our voices should be heard!

[...] To quote Paul Kane of the Washington Post: “Ohio is not at all where Clinton could wrap things up. Weâ€™ve done a bad job of explaininng this, but it is now basically mathematically impossible for either Clinton or Obama to win the nomination through the regular voting process (meaning the super-delegates decide this one, baby!).” I guess Obama will loose then.

Simon, that’s pretty much exactly what they’re saying. So, if one candidate takes 60% of the remaining delegates from primaries, the deciding factor will be the superdelegates.

Superdelegates can pretty much decide to vote however they like, so you can’t necessarily assume that they’ll vote along with the popular vote.

[...] Well the close race for the Democratic nomination looks set to shatter the democracy dreams of millions of first time voters as it seems the race is so tight that it can only be resolved by the Super Delegates. [...]

What utter tripe. Perhaps you should do more than just one math equation before you declare it impossible. Just as one example, if 60% of the remaining delegates go to one candidate who gains a slight edge, and 60% of the superdelegates vote for that candidate as well, then he or she wins the nomination. How is that decided by the superdelegates in that case? I could spend time thinking of others, but why?

At best, the word you’re looking for is improbable.

I think the author is also failing to consider what will happen if michigan and florida end up holding emergency caucuses in May. That will be an extra 300 delegates up for grab and will make it much more likely for one canidate to reach the magic 2,025 without the help of superdelegates.

Plus generalized math and status are terrible…is it really that much harder to use real numbers.

I fixed the errors. The quote comes from a live chat with the author and as you know live chats are often prone to misspellings. I did not catch it earlier. Apologies.

In my experience, only two groups of people feel the need to measure intelligence by typos:

1. English majors/nerds (who I suppose have an excuse but need to learn to control it).

2. People who want to sound smarter than they actually are.

The content of the article itself is both interesting and sound.

Are you sure you speak English? In our language, “explaing” would be read by any reasonable person as a misspelling of the word “explaining.”
Hopefully this explaation has been helpful!

“Weâ€™ve done a bad job of explaing this,”

To be sure, you did a bad job of spelling this. Please clarify what ‘explaing’ means, for those of us that speak English.
