No matter what the delegate counts look like—and Obama is likely to maintain his big lead through the end of the primaries—the debate for the party remains the same. Will the superdelegates overturn the popular vote and the pledged delegates?

That's the democratic test that Obama referenced at the end of his speech in San Antonio. It was the tale about the Ugandan grandfather of a campaign volunteer who was watching the contest for a living lesson in democracy. "The world is watching what we do here," Obama said. "The world is paying attention to how we conduct ourselves.  What will we they see?  What will we tell them?  What will we show them?"

The answer, for Obama, is for the Democratic Party to follow the democratic principle of listening to the voters.

    Comment: Many of you say you want a female president yet you continuously demean Hillary. Sorry , but the lady (yes, lady) has always carried herself as a crusader even before she married Bill. This is why Laura Bush will not run for President.
    Hillary was always destined to fight for rights of people. I don't believe one word that comes out of Obama's mouth. He's saying all the right things. The difference is he is sticking his foot in his own mouth. NAFTA, Teamsters, his xerox speeches, riding on the coattails of Hillary's ideas. He cannot think for himself. He stumbles when challenged. Hillary may not get the delegate count but she damn well got the states that elect presidents spending less money.
    The DNC is in major trouble, they know this and they know their strongest candidate is Hillary. She can go head up with McCain on any issue. Obama will crash and burn because the only thing he can preach is hope and change. The problem is this hope and change involves shady characters whom will be looking for the promises that were made to them to get him the nomination and the presidency. That is why I will vote McCain for president if Obama gets the nomination. Voting for Nader won't do a thing. I will stomp for McCain the same as I am for Hillary. Many others are not far behind.

    Comment: Notwithstanding the Obama's supermacy over his counterpart senator Hillary Clinton, one may stll have sufficient reason to believe that Mrs Clinton has all- needed deserts to upset the apple cart regarding the forthcoming results of the US election-2008's primaries.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
