Co-frontrunner Senator Hillary Clinton of New York is still in the race. Despite fighting tooth and nail to the end of the Democratic primary, it seems that many within both the Democratic Party and GOP are ready to acknowledge co-frontrunner Senator Barack Obama of Illinois as the eventual Democratic nominee. Many have said that Clinton has been showing signs of desperation in trying to turn the tides into her favor.
The latest issues in regards to the Democratic Race would be the superdelegates and the issue with the Florida and Michigan delegates. Eventually, it may look as if it will be up to the remaining superdelegates to end this contest.
DNC Chair Howard Dean demanded the uncommitted to endorse a candidate by the end of June. Now Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are working to end the fight between Obama and Clinton. As Clinton’s chances of securing the nomination look grim, she still refuses to drop out.
Clinton claims she still holds the popular vote. However, it remains up for debate.
In what could be another sign of desperation, Clinton has written letters to the almost 800 superdelegates. Clinton is still trying to get them to believe she is better suited to go up against presumed GOP nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona. She has been pleading her case repeatedly.
With regards to Florida and Michigan, Clinton wants all her delegates to be seated. However, Florida and Michigan were stripped of its delegates by holding their primaries too early in violation of rules set by the DNC.
However, many have focused on Obama rather than Clinton.
