Obama has known ALL ALONG that Hillary, would be going to the Super delegates, wooing for their votes, after the final primary contest elections were done.
This was yesterday....last night that the elections ended.
Obama knew this, and wanted to hurt her chance of doing this....a political position that I don't blame him for taking, but PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DON'T be saying she cut off his limelite in a historical moment when it is HIM who cut off her chance and her moment.
First, he started calling all of the super delegates that had said that they would support him when the actual state primary contests were over....YES OVER, to pledge their support for him BEFORE the contest was over so that he could go over the top of what total delegates needed, with the ACTUAL pledged delegates from the people in Montana and south Carolina....
It became obvious to him that he would not be able to meet the number of delegates that he needed through the vote of the people, thru the pledged delegates so, he called upon his friends to bring him over the number needed by getting the super delegates to support him early, so to come to the number and SQUASH HILLARY'S MOMENT.....
His whole AMMO has been to CUT OFF this election before it was over, cut off the votes before they were counted and cut off the super delegates from their DUTIES by the Rules...which allows the super delegates to change their minds all the way up to the convention.....THOSE ARE THE RULES.
If Obama had received ENOUGH of the pledged delegates to win his nomination without the use of help of Super delegates this contest would be 100% over......but he didn't receive enough pledged delegates to do such, THEREFORE she has every right, as close as she is, to make her pleas and woo those superdelegates to change their minds and come back to supporting her again or to get the Obama delegates to just switch...
She also has 57 votes that went to obama that were not suppose to according to Michigan Law that she should have the option to woo according to the rules....she still has reserved the right of appeal ACCORDING TO THE RULES.
The REASON Obama won is because of the super tuesday caucuses.
The Democratic Party REWARDS CAUCUSES with more delegates per person than they do with Primaries won because caucuses is where their loyal dems live....cities, more populated areas of democratic voters...
THIS IS WHY Hillary has more of the popular vote and not the delegates to go with it....
it is an archaic delegate/caucus math, that the democratic party has in place does not represent the votes of the people EQUALLY.
Anyway, Obama did not want Hillary to have this moment to close her campaign, thank her voters, woo the super delegates and he snubbed her, she did NOT snub him..
Obama has plenty of time to declare his victory, this was the only time she had with her voters and supporters left....after a very long and enduring, stressful and successful campaign that garnered MORE than half the dnc primary voters.
He owed Hillary this moment and owed her supporters this moment and owed her the courtesy of following the rules and allowing the superdelegate wooing that she wants to try to do....ALL IN THE RULES......of course this is not what the DNC wants or Obama, they have been calling this thing over since february, while the voters continued to support her more than him since....
Anyway, as Jillian has stated, i am sure some deals will be made to try to work all of this out, but if i were Hillary, I would not let them just push me out, as they have been doing since february and finalized it with changing the Certified votes of the people in Michigan and giving them to Obama as pledged delegates....including the votes cast for undecided, Biden and Edwards, and 4 other delegates from hillary.
Obama has the votes that McGovern and Kerry had....the Dem caucus people, they both lost their election.
Care
