and I'm sorry the math doesn't add up. He CAN NOT win without super delegates. FACT
He's got 1592 pledged delegates. If he wins 100% of the remaining delegates that's another 217 pledged delagtes. My math says that's 1809.

The number needed to win factors in superdelegates, though. Obama is winning a majority of pledged delegates, that's a simple fact.
His hypocrisy lies not in the fact that he wants to win by getting more pledged delegates and superdelegates. It lies in the fact that on the one hand, his campaign opposes the rule saying superdelegates can vote whatever they want, and on the other hand fully supports the rule that excludes the Florida delegates from being seated.
In other words, his campaign supports rules when they benefit his candidacy, but not if they threaten it.
But it's all moot now. He has defeated Clinton, and the choice is now between him and McCain. Of those two, Obama is clearly the better choice.
