At this point in time I believe a lot of Obama supporters are having buyers remorse. If the election was held today I afraid he would not be doing nearly as well. Although I do not agree with the superdelagate concept it does allow for corrections to earlier results where voters might not of had a complete picture of the canidate. The problem is that these superdelagates come out way to early to try to steer the election in one direction or another. They should

Dan,
Your enthusiasm for a given candidate is admirable. Salute That! But, campaigns are waged to determine what the voting public wants. History has shown that how campaigns are waged are direct reflection of how that candidate will run their administration and the country.

Camp Clinton has committed several fatal errors, which were of the most fundamental in nature. The top 2 errors will not knowing how to count delegates: i.e. Her top advisor mad campaign plans based upon a winner take all system, instead of proportional. She ran out of money after Feb. 5 because they had no fall back plan.

Those errors are similar in nature to what the Bush administration’s biggest critics use against Mr. Bush. No exit strategy in Iraq, and fundamentally mis-understanding the situation that you were entering.

Just this past Sunday Bob Schieffer was interviewing a top Clinton campaigner when he said…as best as I can recall….

“….But, isn’t this like a baseball game where the rules are laid out at the start. The objective is to score the most runs to win, not get the most hits or most strikeouts…….” They were arguing about Clinton’s claim to have the most popular vote, when the primaries are about delegates.

They should hold off on their selection untill after the voting is complete and then vote what would be best for the party.

This Super delegates concept that is part of the Democratic Party primaries is so Anti American that its not even funny, its criminal

do you realize Donna Barazil whom NEVER was elected to public office, Whom never was nominated and approved by congress for a cabinet position, who is a private citizen who is JUST involved and connected to high powered politicians, is a “super delegate” and represents
1 delegate ….. The entire state of Alaska, every citizen who registers and votes there, counts for 17 delegates, Vermont for 21 …. How can you have a system where 1 person, for no good reason has such power to pick 1 of the few candidates that run in a general election for the Presidency of the United States of America ? 1 votes from 1 person who is “connected” and 17 - 21 for entires states full of US Citizens ….. how utterly corrupt

The whole process is a farce. How do you become a super delegate, does the public have any say in this ? absolutely not …

I am an independent, but democrats, take your party back, protest this bogus, the fix is in system

unless you like being played as fools

alot of superd’s are going for obama that have come from states that hillary won and so i would think that if they had to vote like their state did, then she would have more votes. am i right?

heres my question. IF ALL the super d’s HAD to vote the will of the state that they reign from, what would be the difference now in total delegate vote between hillary and obama?

The Florida and Michigan elections do not count.

This was stated prior to the primaries being held. that’s the end of it.

If Hillary wants to stay in to the convention and hope to sway enough of this
ridiculous concept of “super” delegates she certainly has the right to, and has worked long and
hard enough to do so

is it good for her party … no, but she only cares about herself anyway.
This crowd is so power hungry that they will slash and burn everything around them to obtain it

remember Gore ? a machine recount which still left him behind in Florida wasn’t enough …

we had to have 80 years retirees holding vote cards up to the light to see if a chad was punched through or pregnant enough ……

No class, no pride of party or pride of country
just un controlled hunger for power

Does anyone remember Bill Clinton was impeached .. He runs around as though he should have his face on a dollar bill

and now they are positioning the daughter to get into politics’

our long National nightmare continures ….

All votes in all states must be counted. Hillary Clinton in the strongest canidate for thr democratic party. After all the states have completed thier elections and the pledge deligate count is final then and only then should the superdeligates vote and base their decision on the best choice for the party. If one canidate leads by enough pledge deligates that it can’t be over turned by the superdeligates so be it. If their lead is small enough that a superdeligate vote could reverse it, then so be it. Superdeligates must vote what is best for the party not themselves or as their state voted. Clinton voted are very loyal and are more likely to come out on election day. Hopefully they won’t have to come out for John Mc Cain.

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning.
As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.
As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.
One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch,
She saw that there had been a terrible cave-in.
Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began
Calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.
‘Hello!…Hello!’ she shouted. ‘Can anyone hear me?
For a long while, there was no answer.
Losing hope, Snow White again shouted,
‘Hello! Is anyone down there?’
Just as she was about to give up all hope,
she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine, singing . ….

‘Vote for Barack Obama! - Vote for Barack Obama!’

Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed,
‘Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive…

I’m a Hillary supporter and a woman, but my family is majority male and they support Hillary also.
We want Hillary to be the nominee because:
1. She is speaking about issues that matter to us.

We are not for Barack Obama because:
1. He has run and ugly fraud of a campaign that has been designed, from its onset only to take out Clinton. That is why his electoral prospects for November look bleek compared to Clinton.

A winning candidate for the GE does not come to NC and give a very popular democrat (Hillary) the finger and do an imitation of rapper Jay-Z. ( I saved the Youtube of this for those skeptical) While that can get you 92% of the black vote in the primary, it’s not helpful in the GE. Witness the latest polls from Survey-USA showing Hillary beating JM in NC, but BO woefully short. We don’t forget this stuff!

His ugly actions in SC and MS are similar. Wearing a flag spin and making more fraudulent speeches just won’t work for him anymore. Obamabots get a grip!

Hillary didn’t do this to him. He did this to himself.
