a decision made on the weekend which in effect awarded delegates to Obama in a State he never won one single vote in.

Oh please.
Clinton didn't win any delegates in Michigan either, at least not legitimately. When a dictator like Castro "wins" an election with 90+% of the vote when he's the only candidate on the ballot, we criticize it as being a sham and not a real democratic process (and rightly so). But now, somehow, when Clinton "wins" the Michigan primary with only 55% of the vote when she's running unopposed, we're supposed to recognize that result as being legitimate and reward her with all of Michigan's delegates? You realize that would be punishing Obama for abiding by the rules outlined by the DNC prior to the start of the primaries, right? The very rules that all candidates,
including Clinton agreed to (Clinton only flip-flopped on her respect for the rules when she realized she needed 100% of Michigan and Florida's delegates to win)? Surely you're not possibly defending that as being a fair and legitimate result, are you?

Obama has been losing more states than he has been winning in this finale quarter. He has lost a lot of momentum in these finale weeks.

And yet he's still won more states overall and with a greater percentage of the popular vote. In hockey, it doesn't matter if the opposing team scores two goals in the final minute if your team was already up by four.
