Yeah. Super-delegates aren't going to vote for the person with less of the popular vote and whom McCain beats in head-to-head polls.

I'll guess that Obama wins 3 out of 4. Hillary will take Ohio.

Actually super-delegates are doing exactly that. The reason the race is so close is that more super-delegates are giving their support for clinton than obama, even though obama is the more popular choice.

I read an article entirely about how Obama doesn't fear Clinton's death stares during debates anymore.

And so it ends up 3-1 for Hillary. I wouldn't have guessed either. There was a funny story that in the urban areas of Ohio, the O'Bama camp protested to have the polls stay open late for a couple and in the end those polling places got something like a whopping total of 5 addittional votes during the night. Pretty funny... except for the poll workers who had to count the ballots at 3AM.
I'm going out on a limb to say the super-delegates will break for O'Bama. He's more likely to owe favors to fewer people off the line, so then state party heads and congress people will have fewer pork-seekers ahead of them when they call on the O'Bama white house looking for money and programs for their districts (ain't democracy great). Clintons, on the other had, are widely reported to already owe their souls to Satan, so obviously Dick Durbin and co will have to wait in the loby of the oval office a mite longer should the illustrious sentator from New York prevail.
Anyone have a take on the with the Stanley Fish editorial I posted?
