Reply #14: Your knowledge of the process is all hosed up.

Pledged delegates only determine the winner if they reach a total of 2025.

If that number is not reached, the SD's need to make up the delegate count for a candidate of 2025.

No, the SD's can vote for whoever they wish...they don't have to vote for whoever is ahead in the delegate count. Granted, they most likely won't go against the the will of the people, but with Obama's lower than expected showings lately, it could happen. Superdelegates, by definition, are expected to vote their conscience. That's why so many have declared for Senator Clinton. With your logic, all would vote for Obama. That just isn't going to happen.

I must be pretty embarassing to post what you did when your knowledge of the nomination process is severely lacking, uh?
