Imagine Barack Obama would utter such nonsense ... would there not be the 'Big Bang' in the media? Now that Clinton says it, it's a small headline far down in the ticker at best. "Well, we mentionened it." CNN can say ... hardly doing their job of holding the politicians accountable and keeping us really informed. OBAMA'08 for the American People, for Democracy !

On one hand, she wants the Florida and Michigan delegates seated, clearly a departure from the rules the Democrat party laid out. She doesn't want to disenfranchise these voters - a noble position. On the other hand, she wants to go after the Super delegates to get them to push her over the top, even though she won't win the popular vote nor the pledged delegates. The rules of the party state that the Super delegates can vote any way they want. However, wouldn't this be disenfranchising the voters and delegates in all of the primary states?

If you wish for the SD to respect the wishes of the electorate, it is very reasonable to expect them to respect the wishes of their specific electorate; i.e the South Carolina SDs should endorse Senator Obama. Taking this approach, Senator Clinton gets the bulk of the SDs as she has won the states that have the most SD. Proportional representation at a state level or at a national level don't appear to make sense as this approach would negate the need for SDs all together. The DNC, when they created the role of the SD, definitely did not create the role with the intent of the role having no purpose. While the level of vitriolic rhetoric is extremely high surrounding this issue, it is important that people take a step back and look at the actual intent in having super delegates. We may not be happy with the results but we should be willing to look at this with logic rather than emotion.

Not only must all of your lives be horribly miserable; but, those around you have been dragged down to your wallowing levels. Your self-righteousness preceeds you as human beings.Certainly none of you are Christian, because if you were, you would not be speaking in such tones. It is why, because of people like you, personifying a bigoted Bush, that this country gets a bad rap throughout the world. I feel sorry for all the negative people who have posted on this sight.

If that is how this HITLARY candidate thinks and believes, then she should be definitely OUSTED in any way possible from this Presidential run, and her Senator spot. She does NOT deserve to think she can be any part of this great country's political process. You people want this Government back??? Start using your heads.

I don't know how many of you actually pay attention to political primaries but what she said is true ad has been done before. In 1984 we had a similar situation in the Walter Mondale Gary Hart matchup. Senator Hart excelled at caucuses (similar to Obama) but learned a very important lesson. The caucuses have three rounds. Round 1.) Elect delegates to a county convention Round 2.) Elect delegates to a state convention Round 3.) Elect delegates to the national convention What we have witnessed so far has been round 1. Delegates are free to change their minds at each stage in the game. In 1984, by the time we got to round 3, many of Senator Hart's delegates changed their minds and decided to vote for Vice President Mondale. Understand this very clearly...NO CAUCUS DELEGATES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN YET!!! We are only at the first round of voting. I still, for the life of me, don't even understand why they are figured into the totals. Like the Superdelegates (John Lewis comes to mind) they to can change their mind at will.

Why else would she have stayed with Bill when he publicly humiliated her with his numerous white house affairs??? Wake up people...women especially. Don't let your desire to see a woman as president (and I for one don't wish to see this yet) cloud your better judgement. The Clintons only care about themselves. And she doesn't want Obama running with her...that is her tactic to try to swing votes. He wouldn't run with her anyway. Obama may be able to woo her voters if he wins the nomination but I guarantee his voters won't be swinging her way when she steals, cheats, and lies her way to the nomination.

They made the 2025 delagate rule for a reason, it did not say who ever had more would win you have to have 2025 to win so to reach that number of course you would have to get ppl to switch.
