You are right on the money about the superdelegates, Michael.
It is a little known fact that even though the delegates in the past primaries have already been pledged to the respective candidate, the other candidate(s) can "lobby" them to change their support.
In fact, I understand it is actually a law regarding the division of delegates. It applies to all delegates, not only superdelegates.
(I apologize if my terminology is incorrect when referring to "pledging", etc...)
So don't count Mrs. Clinton out just yet, folks....

No one wants a women who will threaten to tell them how to make desciions for there one health and take money from people. No we dont want someone who lives of the goverment her whole life and served on the board at wal-mart. No we dont want someone who shares the same ileaologies as adolf hilter goverment run and controlled wealth ITs already happening In Cuba-Chusetts.

Of course Baddour gloated too soon.
But don's count the Billary Clintons out yet.
They desperately want back into the White House and all the "super delegates" are, by and large, loyal Clintonistas.
In 1968, if I'm not mistaken, the "super delegates", members of the good old boy, establishment Democrats all, thwarted Eugene McCarthy's bid for the nomination by capriciously nominating VP Hubert Humphrey, even though HH had not competed in a single primary or won a single "rank and file" Democratic delegate.
what's to say today's Clintonista "super delegates" might not do the very same thing behind closed door at next summer's convention?
Baddour, Mr. Johnson, sadly, might still have the last cynical laugh.
