delegates

Some Texas Democrats took steps Friday to try to change the way the party allocates delegates for the presidential race.

Chuck Todd discusses that number as well as some others that aren’t too kind to McCain’s chances…

Here’s my question for those who say “anything” can happen and that this race is still winnable for McCain: HOW?

Seriously, how is McCain going to win this?

He’s behind Obama in every single important metric except for two in that poll, and he only leads by small single digits in those.

The Democratic National Convention was supposed to be all about Barack Obama. But his vanquished opponent will share the spotlight with a major speech Tuesday and in the roll call vote of delegates the following night.

Some Hillary Clinton delegates share what they hope will come from the convention.

AP is reporting that, this evening, Hillary Clinton will concede that Barack Obama has enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, effectively ending her campaign.

Reports are she will not formally suspend her camapign but this is clearly the first step to her bowing out as gracefully as is possible at this stage of the contest.

Now we see if the party can come together.

I think it probably will.

More as it develops…

Chuck Todd discusses the end game…

I guess I was wrong before about 20 superdelegates.

Looks like he needs 30 to 35 delegates to tie this thing up.

That doesn’t seem doable at this point.

I’d be surprised if it happened.

That’s apparently what he said a couple days ago…

I think this will be the likely outcome today.

And frankly, I don’t see any other way it can happen without tearing the party apart.
