As things appear now, neither Hillary nor Obama are going to the convention with enough delegates to get the nod. But Obama is going to have the most delegates. One would think that that would automatically get him the nomination.
Wellllll, maybe. You see, Obama has won his delegates in little states. Many of which go republican in the general election. Hillary has won the big states.
Further, in the general election it's a 'winner takes all' sorta deal instead of the proportional rules under which the democrat primaries were run. In fact, if the big state results for the democrat primary were applied to the general election under GE rules, we'd now be calling her Madam President.
Hillary has clearly shown she can pull the votes from the elector rich big states, while Obama has shown his populist pulling power in the small states.
This creates quite a delimma for the super-delegates.
