Pennsylvania Voter4:03PMMay 7th 2008

We see Howard Dean is at work.

These superdelegates with all this power better count their days. We, the voters, are going to remember in November how they have voted.

Superdelegates are not democratic, were not elected by us and have too much power. They need to vote "present" as is Obama's habit.

But if for Obama or Clinton, we are outraged (voters) about there being such a thing as superdelegates.

We are outraged that Dean hand picked 20 of his loyalists to be on "rules" committee to stack the deck his way.

We are just plain outraged at the democratic party.
Can't believe Puerto Rico has 4 delegates, but 5 superdelegates??? These are votes being given to loyalists and nothing to do with actual votes.

Why are we bothering to vote when superdelegates are there. Guess that means we can all in the democratic system who are voters can just stay home in November.

I think the pundits will find that when we say we will stay home in November we will.

The DNC has Dean and superdelegates so "we the voters" can just stay home.

The DNC decided not to revote Michigan and Florida with Obama and his cronies flat out not allowing it.

Well pay back sure can be done in November.

Superdelegates and Dean you better vote your heart out as you just lost this election if Florida and Michigan don't count, but their superdelegates do?

Shouldn't the Florida and Michigan superdelegates also not get to vote?

What a crazy system. I have begun to hate the democratic party. I am all for a third party candidate next time around.

If anyone is taking up a collection to do blitz on TV supporting revote in Michigan and Florida I will donate.

Anyone taking up a collection to do away NOW of superdelegates and fight them let me know.

We are worse then any 3rd world dictarship or socialism.

The DNC is like Castro, make rules as they go, superdelegates, not revoting so millions can vote.

What a crazy system and we should be ashamed.

This is not democratic where each vote counts and each person. This is not representative of American values and I personally am horrified.

Down with the DNC.

Down with Dean

Down with Palosi

We didn't elect any of them.

Shame on the super delagates that are running to his side! Have they forgotten their responibility here? The primaries are set up to help us find the candidate that can WIN....

Obama is smooth talking man, and if we were looking for a suave politician- he'd get my vote....but, I'm looking for an experienced person who can change the economy, the war, healthcare, immigration....OBAMA CAN NOT BEAT JOHN MCCAIN....and if he does, it's because people thought he was the lesser of two evils, not because he is worthy enough to run this blessed country....

HELP HILLARY STAY IN THE RACE, SHE NEEDS OUR DONATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Pennsylvania Voter-Big wind bag!! All that space just to say nothing. Change the rules, move the goal post, I'm taking my toys and leaving. What's new?

Leslie4:20PMMay 7th 2008

Obama is beating Hillary. Some of you say Obama can't beat McCain. What does that say about Hillary???? If she was the one most of America wanted, she wouldn't be in the situation she is in now. She would be WINNING.not LOSING.

Brooklyn Chick4:23PMMay 7th 2008

BEACUSE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN DONATING MONEY INTO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN, THEY HAVE THEIR NOMINEE...AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOSE TO THE CLINTONS...."AGAIN"....I'm certain Bush has informed the Republican party about the "REZKO" deal, they are waiting till he is the nominee to pull it out....what will you do if in October Rev Wright strikes again? Have a Republican President?

Do the Math America!!!!!!!!

Brooklyn Chick4:26PMMay 7th 2008

I mean seriously people, how do you think Obama's campaign has raised sooooooo much money????

Oprah, she can send her money to through the black churches....we only have millions of them across the world....

Republicans, they see it as an investment towards their "win" with McCain....

Who do you think has been donating daily? The poor voter that can afford gas??? Look at our economy, the abundant contributions "daily".....

Monica4:28PMMay 7th 2008

Hillary doesn't need donations. She can just write a check and drain her personal bank account to keep afloat and keep from going totally under.

Monica4:29PMMay 7th 2008

Hillary had all the advantages going into this race. Why hasn't she been able to prevail? Why wasn't she able to close the deal (to use her own bitchin phrase)? Obviously, she's not the hot shot she thought she was. People (and I'm one of them) are just fed up with the Clintons and want something new.

Two articles of note

The link leads to the Indiana election, worth reading. Was especially interesting to note the use of some electronic voting machines and absentee voting.

To be a little clearer here, Limbaugh clearly had some effect. And 41% of the Republicans voting for Clinton said they'd back McCain in November -- a big number that clearly included some tactically-voting Limbaugh Democrats. But they also included people like the man I quoted yesterday who considered Clinton a preferable second choice to McCain. So don't give Rush all the credit.

We don't know why the superdelegates are wasting everybody's time. They accuse Hilary of dragging the race too long when in fact it's the superdelegates that are holding up deciding a nominee. They should all come out this week and make their intentions known. All the money being spent by the two candidates could be used in the general election. All Hilary's superdelegates and undeclared superdelegates shoul rally around Obama and get this thing over with. The tradition has been to declare for the candidate with the most pledged delegates and as it stands today, Hilary can never catch up on pledged delegates even if she wins all remaining primaries. Democratic leadership should stop looking weak and enforced their own rules.

Brooklyn Chick4:31PMMay 7th 2008

Obama hasn't "won" any of the necessary states to bring the Dem. party across the finish line, Hillary has.....and unlike Obama she is the "well known" candidiate, which unfortunately during the media blitz has been a negative for her campaign, because people were all over the new guy....but, the media neglected finding out "who the new guy is"....how could we be this far into the race before finding out about Rev Wright?????

Hillary Clinton has been inspected over and over, as first lady, as a nominee and as a senator....the republicans will not be able to sling dirt at her, Obama on the other hand is an EASY win for them.....

If this was a job interview, and they both submitted their reresumes her career in trying to better the lives of many Americans surpasses his, and not because of her age....because of her countless contributions to better the USA....

No one's questioning her patriotism, her love for this country...and that in and of itself speaks volumes!!!!!!!!!

Brooklyn Chick4:34PMMay 7th 2008

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA...

I WILL VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN BEFORE I PUT OBAMA IN OFFICE, and I know MANY others that feel the way that I do....so, I'm HAPPY Hillary is staying in the race, talks will occur on 5/31 regarding Florida and Michigan.....I hope the Super deleagtes utilize their brains when they vote, and remember this isn't about popularity, this race shouldn't be Obama's because he had a catchy song on youtube....or because Oprah likes him, she liked Dr. Phil and James Freay and was wrong about the both of them!!!!!!!!!!

elen4:35PMMay 7th 2008

Those Clintonites that speak against super delegates
may well remember that if not for them, Obama would have won the nomination because none of them were going to get the 2025 and thus they would have to contend who was ahead or has the popular vote.
They were Clinton's last hope and her campaign has wooed them incessantly. As far as who have gone against there state, none worse than Gov. Easley that made sure to endorse Clinton before his state's landslide made it virtually impossible. He deserves the boos.

Texas Chick4:35PMMay 7th 2008

Hey, Brooklyn Chick -- I am originally from Brooklyn and I believe the Clinton Campaign has sold you a bridge...to nowhere.

Shame on the Clinton Campaign for perpetuating the fantasy that Hillary's electable and Obama is not. Too bad you've bought into the spin and the funny math.

The good news is that the superdelegates go by facts, not fantasy.

Tejano4:36PMMay 7th 2008

Well, he has won States with high African American populations. Yet, that will not will not win the election in Nov.They are still a minority, with a minority vote. Hillary has won a majority of the non African vote. This will win the election in Nov. Obama's supporters are shallow people, supporting a shallow candiate. Hillary is a deep thinker who can make a change in 2009!

Dane4:37PMMay 7th 2008

FYI... McGovern is not a superdelegate.

Brooklyn Chick4:38PMMay 7th 2008

And BEFORE anyone says it I could care less what "color" Obama is....this has NOTHING to do with his race, although I do find it interesting how one day he can't sep. himself from Rev. Wright, but the next month he's tossing him under the bus....will his loyalty to our country be as transparent? I mean he did sit in that church for TWENTY years, had he never heard Rev. Wright damn Americans before that day???? No, he heard it a month before when the contreversy FIRST started....not sure why a month later it sounded different to him, was it the fear that this man who was like an uncle to him was going to cost him this race? Would he divorce his wife for being a tacky dresser and an unproud American till now????

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

elen4:39PMMay 7th 2008

It should not be about catchy songs but it should be about trustworthiness. It is not by chance that Sen. Clinton is viewed as untrustworthy by over half the voters in the United States.

Brooklyn Chick4:44PMMay 7th 2008

TEXAS CHICK

Let me explain to you what Obama has done, he has appealed greatly to the younger demographic, the young voter....the person that has never lost a job due to the economy, never paid rent, never been without mommy and daddy's healthcare plan....Obama hasn't made "change" in Chicago....

Obama is an excellent "motivational" speaker, somehow with his Harvard education, he manages to speak in regular terms, to normal people....perhaps half of America can't understand Hillary's brilliance? I can't pretend to understand why anyone that is as educated as him would dummy themself to appeal to voters.....oh, wait I know why, for the same reason he rolls up his sleeves at these talks, he wants voters to view him as one of "us"....and his life, his past, his drug use, his racist reverand do not represent a man of honor to me, not a man that "my" children can look up to....

Hillary Clinton has been across America at different points in her life, and she has effected many women and children with her HUGE attempts towrds bettering the USA....I belive her words, her fight and her ability....

Obama is a suave talker, but much like any other suave talker he's just trying to get your panties off so he can f^^^ u in the ass....AND I REFUSE TO VOTE FOR HIM, even if it means 4 more years of the same, or worse.....
