...finally. He faces the distinct possibility that he may not amass a majority of committed delegates by the end of the primary season on June 5, thus setting off a messy preconvention scramble that could further divide his party. Hart's buoyant mood is understandable too. The Colorado Senator has won four of the last six primaries, including landslides last week in Nebraska and Oregon.

(Hart overwhelmingly won the caucuses in his home state, Colorado, but the 43 delegates still have not been apportioned.) Mondale aides continue to insist that the delegate tallies heavily favor their man. Campaign Chairman James Johnson predicted that Mondale, who now has 1,528 delegates, would win the necessary majority (1,967) in the last round of primaries, on June...
