Obama-Clinton contest is drawing to a close

The Pennsylvania showdown between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton is coming to a close...mercifully. The issue is that, even if Sen. Clinton wins big in Pa., she is probably too far behind Sen. Obama in election delegates to make up the difference (of more than 100 delegates). There is talk of using the "super delegates" to swing the process in her favor by supporters. But would that make her nomination questionable ethically -- even if she can do it?

Candidates should be nominated in the election process, nit in back rooms. Click on the headline and go to CNN.com.

Neither Obama or Clinton can win without super delegates

The battle for the Democratic Party's nod for president is so tight that neither Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama can win without the all-important super delegates at the convention. These guys would make life a lot easier on Dems nationwide if they would just rock, paper, scissors to decide who will be Prez and who gets VP.
