A tough night for Obama

You have to hand it to the Clinton campaign. They got their people out in droves and kept Hillary viable until Pennsylvania. I had hoped, as with everyone in the Obama camp, that he could have knocked her out last night. Unfortunately, that was not to be. As things stand now, Hillary gained about a dozen delegates with another dozen or so outstanding. Obama still comes out with a 100 or so delegate lead and friendly contests in Wyoming and Mississippi on the horizon. Not a bad place to be considering that Hillary is running out of states to make up the difference. And while her victory is still mathematically plausible, it is a long shot, fast approaching impossible. I am keeping the faith.

Joe, I feel dumb. Can you explain how delegates are chosen (just regular joes like electors, yes?), how superdelegates are chosen (all DNC officials, yes?), how primaries AND caucuses both have delegates? What the heck? Please decipher.

Thanks,
