I think the Obama campaign's plan is to take the Democratic party to the brink of the cliff and then decide whether to push it off or not. Whether he pushes will depend directly, I believe, on how much he buys into the Obama cult of personality narrrative his campaign has been weaving.
Why do you believe Obama is tryinng to apply some pressure to delegates that is more "unseemly and unwarranted" than the pressure that Clinton applies? What would make you believe this and what would be more "unwarranted or "unseemly" pressure that Obama has used that Clinton would/has not?

"cult of personality narrative?"
