When does the Democratic Nominee finally emerge?

I would think that it could happen as late as June 7

That is impossible this cycle. Over half of all delegates available during the entire primary season will be awarded during the first two weeks of voting.

Unlikely at this point, perhaps, but not impossible if the race is close. If Sanders wins Iowa and NH, it could tighten up, but if Clinton were to win Iowa, she may become unstopable.

I love that many Bernie fans think he is going to be the 2nd coming of Obama 08. Sorry guys, it ain't happening.

Not all Sanders supports are not predicting that he will win, but Clinton hasn't won this thing yet.
Before February it is too soon  to predict how long this thing will go on. If Clinton does win the nomination
it is entirely possible that Trump will win the Republican nomination sooner.

I heard that Sanders think he will do as well as Obama, but Obama had Teddy Kennedy's help, which got Obama the SC primary.

That was not the only reason why Obama won SC. This is looking like a 2008 race however which is great for political junkies like us.

I strongly disagree. It's just not. The race for the Democratic nomination will be over quickly. By no later than mid-March be prepared for the MSM to continuously say that Hillary has such a large lead that she is unbeatable.
