I think Obama will eventually get the nomination, but it might be a
brokered convention. That alone would be an entertaining political
drama, unseen in America for many years.

The Democratic nomination might come down to the "super delegates," who
are typically office holders or insiders of some stripe. They can vote
for whomever they please.

I'm an ordinary delegate. My vote is committed to Obama, the
overwhelming favorite (50-8) of my fellow caucus members.

My biggest problem with Hillary Clinton is that she could energize the
rabid right-wing Republican vote. They hate her. Her campaign would be a
get-out-the-vote campaign for the wingers.
