Q: Will Barack Obama win on Super Duper Tuesday?
A: Yes.

The harmony between Clinton and Obama in the California debate was most likely influenced by the delegate allocation process … as opposed to the Republicans with their winner-take-all primary. {Query : Wasn't California a winner-take-all primary when Robert Kennedy won?} Talking nice keeps everyone playing. The Dems have created a nomination process closer to the Electoral College where it may not matter who gets the most votes, but who wins the most districts … my prediction has been for awhile that the superdelegates will anoint the nominee … the question is will they affirm the Party Leadership’s choice or the People’s choice ?
