(It looks like our fun is just beginning. And think -- it could be Montana's young voters that decide who the next president will be. - promoted by Jay Stevens)
Fivethirtyeight.com had an interesting tidbit today. In its article, Can Obama Clinch on June 3rd?" they make the case that given a rules committee vote on how the FL and MI delegates get allocated, that the final pledged delegate victory could be right here, and making the case for him declaring victory in Montana:
"Obama might have another opportunity to declare victory on June 3rd, when South Dakota and Montana conclude the primary calendar. The conditions for doing so are otherwise pretty favorable. He is likely to achieve victory in one or both of these states (his worst case scenario is probably losing one of them -- more likely South Dakota -- by a small margin).
And while Obama could conceivably hold a victory rally anywhere, there is a sound argument for doing so in Montana, a potentially competitive state that symbolizes the Democrats' 50-state strategy (think Brian Schweitzer and John Tester) and their hopes to expand the electoral map in November. But will the math be there to make Montana the state that puts Obama over the top?"
Montana putting the final delegates into Obama's column and holding a victory speech here? Maybe in Missoula Montana?!!! Only in our wildest dreams. Denny Rehberg, get your coat, you're going home.
