If he wins the most votes, and the most delegates, then he should be the nominee, PERIOD.
If you want to talk about backlash and a divided party, take the nomination away from the guy who got the most votes and give it to someone else, and watch them all stay home in November....or worse, start a 3rd party, one with teeth that could get 30%+ of the popular vote.

That is still an if of course, but no way the DNC sinks it ship if he becomes what they perceive as unelectable. Thats what the super delegates are for at the convention. Unless Obama gets to 2025 in pledged delegates before the convention he is not the nominee without the super delegate support.
I think its a very real possibility she ends up with more votes, less delegates and it then is in the super delegate hands to appoint the nominee. How do you think they should do it? on who they feel is best? on who they think is more electable at the time of the convention? Who their district supported?
