MSNBC Obama 838 Hillary 834 (NOT INCLUDING SUPER DELEGATES)
When you add in the super delegates, Hillary has about an 80 delegate advantage. CNN says Hillary leads in the supers 193-106.

1. I really don't understand why Super Delegates...
even matter before the convention.

We all know that those Super Delegates will go to the winner. They will fall in
line for Obama or Hillary--whomever wins.

These Super Delegates are just people who vote at the end of this journey.

All of this "these Super Delegates have pledged to this candidate" stuff is vapor.

Just let these Super Delegates be. Quit calling them. Quit arm twisting. They'll
pledge for the obvious winner at the convention. Counting them as votes now...looks
like an act of desperation and like a smokescreen put in front of the TRUE delegate count.

2. any way you cut it, it is a toss up. Edwards delegates are now more valuable
This will be a once in a lifetime primary, and most likely undecided Convention event

Good luck to your candidate, Hillary, and good to my candidate Barack
