Haha. Just kidding. Did I get your attention? Anyway, here's a fun delegate math fact (assuming my math is correct):

If you believe RCP's current pledged delegate counts, neither candidate can mathematically get to 2025 to win the nomination even if they win every single delegate in every single remaining primary.

If you believe RCP's current "pledged superdelegate" counts, Clinton would have to win 92% of the delegates up for grabs in the remaining primaries, and Obama would have to win 75%. Neither scenario sounds likely.

So, one way or another superdelegates will decide the nomination. And it may not be until Denver, unless one of the campaigns blinks first. Which also doesn't sound likely.

(All of this could change If the DNC ever gets around to addressing the FL/MI fiasco, but not by much.)

P.S. Contrary to the News Sentinel's front page headline today ("Republicans decided, Democrats divided") and lame right-wing talking points about the big rift in the Democratic party, what this primary is showing is that Democrats can field two strong candidates who can energize the party and put up record turnout numbers nationwide.

Meanwhile, the best candidates the GOP can come up with are Mitt, Rudy, Fred, Chucklebee, and their eventual nominee... McCain? Either Democratic candidate and most of the also-rans could hick his or any of the rest of that crew's butts.

So maybe we could call a timeout and all get together behind that for just a moment?

OK, minute's up. Carry on.
