Why do I keep hearing about Obama winning states all the time, and how everyone hates Clinton, but she's is still in the lead?

 The more populous states have more delegates, and some states award their delegates proportionally. I believe Obama has still won more delegates than Clinton. However, in the Democratic primary, certain party officials (called superdelegates) can vote any way they like. They are going for Clinton and are the reason for her slim lead right now.

I have the worrying feeling that the Super delegates are going to give Hillary the Nomination even if she's losing

They could go to Hillary, but this past week has proven how she'd react under pressure. First, she got beat out by Obama in fund-raising. Second, she loses 4 states in a row - 4 - and even lost the Virgin Islands. Third, she cans her campaign manager after the weekend sweep. Fourth, though her camp is talking about how much money she raised, she had to loan her campaign $5M of her personal money. Lastly, the GOP has so much baggage on her it could fell the Spruce Goose hanger in Cali.

If they side with her even after Obama wins, hands down, more pledged delegates, and she's the nominee, I will NOT vote for her. I would rather stay home, let McCain win it, screw this country over even more and let the Dems follow the will of the people, superdelegate or not.



I am just waiting for huckabee to drop out. McCain is the most sane of the reps, and I wouldn't be too pissed off (I think I would prefer him over Hillary actually...)

But I can't believe how close the Dems race is...

EDIT:

Looking at the Calendar, I think the Rep's race could easily be over next month, but the dems may have to wait till may.
