Yes, open and shut...

BUT, if it's split, there's a problem. I've never liked the Electoral College, and for that reason, I don't want to overthrow the popular vote for someone who only won the delegate count. To me, the popular vote is "the will of the people".

It's funny, but everyone talks about the problem of who Hillary's supporters will vote for if Obama wins, or vice versa. They always leave out one important detail. This is the one thing I'm adamant about: whoever the loser is, he or she must support the winner BIG TIME. (Per Demosthenes, I'll allow a 5-10 day "cooling off" period to nurse wounded egos.) No ifs, ands, or buts, the loser must get out there and use his or her best efforts to convince supporters to vote for the other Dem. I'd really prefer it if both candidates made that pledge right now. But whoever the loser is, I will never forgive them if they don't try valiently to sway their supporters.
