Wait, actually the convention is in August... Primaries end in early June, which is when Clinton people now say she'll have the delegates wrapped up for the nomination. Does the Credentials Committee meet between those two?
But I think we keep forgetting something: the Democratic Party has its very own Nobel
Peace Prize winner to help resolve any conflicts!

Gore emerges as power broker while Clinton hopes for a lifeline
Gore emerged yesterday as a possible mediator who could negotiate a resolution if the primary campaign ends in a stalemate and has to be decided by the party convention, where divisions are likely to run deep.
The former vice-president, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental campaign, is among a number of party 'elders' who plan to remain neutral in order to keep such an option open, the New York Times reported yesterday.
They are increasingly concerned that the momentum built up by Clinton and Obama's enthralling race could be squandered if neither lands a knockout blow and the nomination is decided at the convention by an elite of 796 Democratic 'super-delegates'. A perception that a backroom deal had ignored the wishes of millions of voters could be a gift to the Republicans . . .
