Honestly, what is the likelihood of a super delegate changing their mind?

I understand that they are just %26quot;pledged%26quot; at this point. But what is the likelihood of so many of them changing over at the convention to make a difference for Clinton?





Wishful thinking or not?





Thoughts?|||None.





They know that Hillary is losing and the ONLY support she really has are the Appalachian voters and those who are can not get pass Obama%26#039;s %26quot;pastors%26quot; and the %26quot;bitter comment%26quot;.





It seems to me if they are so bother by it, perhaps some truth hit a raw nerve.|||They can change their vote if they want. It is within the rules.|||i obamas check bounces then so will the super delegates vote.|||50%|||This is politics, not real life.





Still, HILLARY HAS NO CHANCE.|||I read that one was selling his vote for a million dollars so I suppose anything can happen.|||Not likely, the DNC is doing every thing they can to keep them from supporting Hillary, especially Pelosi,Reid,and Dean.|||They will change and change back. Whether she can get enough depends on events.





Supposing some new scandle comes out in the next few weeks, or Obama barely wins or loses a state tomorrow when expected to win? All of a sudden, there are questions and supers many of whom are elected officials may start to wonder what their constitutients are thinking.





However, the DNC doesn%26#039;t want the division to last just %26#039;in case%26#039; a new tape surfaces or Rezko%26#039;s trial (or Paul%26#039;s, could be either way) comes up with something. So after tomorrow there will be pressure and Clinton will at least have to take a position about whether she will stay in to fight, relatively soon.|||I am one of those wishful thinkers. However, I do not think it is likely to go in Hillary%26#039;s direction. We are forced to elect the weaker candidate. Had the Rev. Wright story came out in January...things would have been different. I really think that. The states that have chosen Obama are states that will vote republican in November anyway. She won the key states that elect presidents. Sad situation. If we ever needed a Dem president...now is the time...but the National Party doesn%26#039;t see the way the average voter does. Sad.|||It will take a scandal of some proportion. But no politician wants to be associated with someone who is on a sinking ship. Look at how the flow of super delegates trickled to a stand still when the Wright stuff came out. Any more of that type of thing, especially if one or two of the big boys switch sides and he could see his support quickly evaporate. And that is why Clinton is not getting out of the race.|||Wat the Feck is a super delegate in the first place...x:|||Considering that a majority of them %26quot;pledged%26quot; before the Rev. Wright/Phledger/Michelle Obama%26#039;s speech about not being proud of America until her husband was running for president...





They may change their minds; however I think the Dems are stuck with Obama and all his baggage.





Can you say %26quot;buyer%26#039;s remorse%26quot;?|||The Super Delegates are politicians - most will go as the wind blows them.|||They could decide that even though, they like Obama; he isn%26#039;t electable..........and Hillary has a better chance against McCain.
