Obama can't say it's unfair for super delegates to count when he's courting them himslef and would gladly claim the nomination if super delegates pushed him above 2025. He knew the rules BEFORE he ran. If he didn't like them he didn't have to run.

The question isn't what percentage of the black vote a candidate gets, the important thing is how many of those people actually show up at the polls.
Same with the youth vote...baddog said in another thread that Dems always get the youth vote, and that is true. However, turnout among young voters is always very low, but in this primary season they have shown up in much larger numbers to support Obama.
So again it's not what percentage of a certain demographic you get in the fall, it's how many people in that demographic show up to the polls. On this Obama has been way in the lead this entire season.
As for your last comment, Obama has never said superdelegates were unfair, AND he's never said Hillary should get out of the race.
Don't go confusing what op-ed writers and political bloggers and other people say with what the candidate himself says. He knows the rules, he's playing by the rules, and he'll win by the rules.
Speaking of rules, why do you cry about the rules when it comes to superdelegates but want to put the rules aside when it comes to Florida? Hillary knew the rules (regarding FL and MI) before she ran, if she didn't like them she didn't have to run.
