It's so NOT over - just ask Ohio's superdelegates
So Jerid and I took the weekend off from BSB to decompress - Jerid went skiing, and I watched the Cavs, and shoveled snow. Caught a cold, too. Urgh.
So everyone thinks Ohio's primary is over, eh? Hillary's net gain of plus 9 delegates from March 4 sounds wonderful right? Well, guess what. There are at least that many undecided superdelegates in Ohio. Still. Probably more. All that money spent, all those lies about NAFTA, all the race-baiting, the fear-mongering, the "as far as I know", playing class and ethnicity off of each other, all of that, and my, my......there are still more Ohio delegates to be had. Ain't that...ahem....super.
What does this mean for BSB? The hue and cry over the last few days over my posting, culminating in a Larry David blog, a post that appeared at Huffingtonpost with almost precisely the same content (last I looked Huffingtonpost was a liberal blog), you'd think the whole world came to an end. Maybe it did. But this primary didn't.
Just ask Hillary. The only way she can get the nomination now is via superdelegates overturning what will likely be a pledged delegate lead, popular vote lead, and states-won lead, in favor of Barack. That's the only way. So the remaining undecided supers in Ohio are WAY more important than even the pledged delegates we all here at BSB spent 6 weeks arguing over.
So instead of us arguing over the millions of voters, we now have a target audience of perhaps a dozen superdelegates to persuade. Hillary supporters may want us BSB Barack supporters to stop advocating for our guy, but that's only because nothing would make them happier than to have that fun all to themselves. Not gonna happen.
