But Obama will have a signifigant lead in money, delegates, pledged delegates, and overall votes come convention time. The only way Hillary can win is by convincing a ton of superdelegates to vote for her instead of Obama. I can't fathom that happening. It would completely alienate Obama voters and the Democratic party would lose the black vote for the next 30 years. McCain would win the thing in a massive landslide. They'd also lose a lot of close Congressional races that people would vote Republican out of spite.

The Democratic Party is pretty fucking stupid, but I can't fathom they'd be that stupid.
