Poll question: Will Obama's clinching of the majority of elected delegates bring on massive SD support in the 3 day
span right after the landmark total is achieved?

1. He got 25 last week, and some 35 the week before. They
are already moving. He should get another 35-100 this week, and clinch 2025 by this time next week.

2. I will be so THRILLED if that happens!
I can only imagine how relieved his campaign would feel, and him & his family... be nice to have a tiny break from this primary whatever-you-wanna-call-it

3. A flood? Maybe, maybe not
I'm not sure if there will be a massive amount, but I've heard plenty of currently uncommitted superdelegates talk about how they'd likely support the candidate who had earned the most pledged delegates. Given that Obama looks to hit that point tonight (and this is going by the pledged delegates that currently count by DNC rules, excluding Michigan and Florida until something significant changes), I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of them come out and announce their support this week.

4. I voted trickle
I just don't think most of the remaining SD's want to be known for forcing Hillary out before the final primary, seeing as it is only 2 weeks away. The flood will be June 3-4.
