Obama the whiner

Firstly congratulations to Senator Clinton! Our voices were heard!!!

There has been a lot of whining from the Obama camp about the delegates and how they are assigned. Obama complains about the super delegates not having to be tied to the outcome of the state. This whole complaint, to me, seems rather childish and is a good example of the kind of leader Obama would be.

He wants to change the rules mid race. The fact is, that he knew these rules before the race started and only now, because the race is so close, he wants to bend them in his favor. CNN has even gone so far as to poll people in yesterday's elections to get their opinions. The majority of the people thought the super delegates should be tied to the outcome of the state. My question is: Did they even know what or who super delegates were before this race?

Perhaps these same people would be angry to know that in TX, where Sen. Clinton won the popular vote, she may receive less delegates? It is this same complex delegate math that keeps the race so close, and too tight to call.

My hypothetical, since that what Obama likes to deal in when it comes to delegates, is to take it all one step further. Why don't we see what it would be like if we had a winner takes all primary like the Republicans. The chart to your right are the current results of the primary if we are to follow the Republican model of winner take all (super delegates included).

What we see is that Clinton has a clear advantage, and then if you add in Florida and Michigan she is well on her way to sealing up the nomination. So maybe Barack better let the rules stay the way they have always been. Stop whining, Sen. Obama.
