Will Obama reach the magic number tonight?

I thnik hillary would have in deed won reguardless of how the campaigns would have been run unless you think that people voted on now they were run some how and not ideas. Its also a fact that Iowa and new hamshire democratic party is the one that wrote to the democratic committee asking that florida and michigan be punished for going ahead of their primaries dates.In both states they have a law that says no matter what their primary will be two weeks before any otherr state primary.So they can move theirs with no penalty.Why would the national commitee allow this ;could it be to ensure a leg-up to a liberal candidate because the committe is made up of the liberal wing of the party?

Oh I fully understand it's the 'party' that makes the rules that determine who will be elected and not the winner of the individual voters. As the commercial goes; priceless.

bingo! So if it isn't over until the party leaders go to the backroom and decide, why should Hillary concede? Why shouldn't Obama concede since Hillary's received more votes?
