Shop Talk/Random Thought

Just doing the math, it’s difficult to see exactly how Barack Obama can keep Hillary Clinton from gaining a commanding lead in delegates in tomorrow’s Super Duper Tsunami Hurricane Big-Ass Tuesday vote. And that goes double when you consider her lead in superdelegates.

That said, it’s also hard to deny that Obama is surging. The Big Mo, and the Big O, are on his side — even in India.

So here’s what my gut tells me.

If Clinton leads by fewer than 100 delegates after all the votes are counted tomorrow, then the Denver convention could very well be brokered. Or Obamania could mean that Obama is ahead by some small number on Wednesday morning. In which case, the nomination is his.

Now those are some tears Hillary would never shed in public.
