What is this nonsense? It's getting ridiculous

The top Dems are screwing this primary up, and I for one am loving it


Some superdelegates more super than rest


WASHINGTON - Some of those presidential superdelegates Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are pursuing are more super than others.

One delegate, one vote doesn't apply to them. These prominent Democrats can name additional superdelegates, giving them control over multiple convention votes, and that could be the difference in a race that may not be decided until the August convention.

The clout of the nearly 800 superdelegates is unprecedented in this year's race because neither Obama nor Clinton can clinch the nomination with only the delegates won in state primaries and caucuses. Largely overlooked in the arcane process, though, is the power of a select few to complete the superdelegate ranks by naming 76 newbies, and Clinton and Obama are fighting hard over every one of those from state conventions to back rooms.

Separated by fewer than 140 delegates, both candidates are lobbying the hundreds of known superdelegates, employing family, friends and influential surrogates to woo the governors, lawmakers and other party leaders. Some are more important than others.

Consider Art Torres, chairman of the California Democratic Party. He remains uncommitted, yet he could be the most powerful superdelegate of all. Torres gets to name five additional superdelegates, giving him control over six votes at the national convention this summer.

"I am the super of supers!" Torres proclaims with a laugh.

The logical way to describe why the super delegates were created wa the em leaderhsip were fed up witht heir voters goinf with hard left losers

They wanted a way to ignore what the voters wanted and go with what they wanted

Now, they Dem party has to sleep in the bed they made. No matter which way it goes, one half of the Dem party is going to be very pissed off after the Denver convention

MFM is upset over the fact Republicans are getting results with crossing over - and his Dems did not

Let's have some fun in Michigan
by kos
Thu Jan 10, 2008 at 01:31:01 PM PDT
In 1972, Republican voters in Michigan decided to make a little mischief, crossing over to vote in the open Democratic primary and voting for segregationist Democrat George Wallace, seriously embarrassing the state's Democrats. In fact, a third of the voters (PDF) in the Democratic primary were Republican crossover votes. In 1988, Republican voters again crossed over, helping Jesse Jackson win the Democratic primary, helping rack up big margins for Jackson in Republican precincts. (Michigan Republicans can clearly be counted on to practice the worst of racial politics.) In 1998, Republicans helped Jack Kevorkian's lawyer -- quack Geoffrey Feiger -- win his Democratic primary, thus guaranteeing their hold on the governor's mansion that year.

With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don't we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?

For Michigan Democrats, the Democratic primary is meaningless since the DNC stripped the state of all its delegates (at least temporarily) for violating party rules. Hillary Clinton is alone on the ballot.

But on the GOP side, this primary will be fiercely contested. John McCain is currently enjoying the afterglow of media love since his New Hamsphire victory, while Iowa winner Mike Huckabee is poised to do well in South Carolina.

Meanwhile, poor Mitt Romney, who’s suffered back-to-back losses in the last week, desperately needs to win Michigan in order to keep his campaign afloat. Bottom line, if Romney loses Michigan, he's out. If he wins, he stays in.

so...are you another of those morons who doesn't know the difference between a sunni and a shiite?

AQ has ZERO chance of any sort of long term presence in Iraq. Iran will most likely turn Iraq into a client state as soon as we leave, but that was a foregone conclusion when we overthrew the sunni dictator of a country with a majority shiite population sitting right next to the only other islamic state with a majority shiite population. major Bush fuckup.

tis true. i gave him the benefit of the doubt, hoping that things would turn out different, but that have not.

major factor to consider though:

it is not necessarily a "bush" screwup. we have no idea how much longer saddam would be in power, and/or if power were to go to his sons. at most, i think it would have bought time in terms of a true muslim conflict that i believe is going to sweep the globe.

The Clinton campaign has taken to boasting that its candidate has won states with more electoral votes than has Barack Obama. True. By my count, Clinton has won 14 states with 219 electoral votes (16 states with 263 electoral votes if you include Florida and Michigan) while Obama has won 27 states (I'm counting the District of Columbia as a state, but not the territories) with 202 electoral votes. Eight states with 73 electoral votes have still to vote. In percentage terms, Clinton has won states with 41 percent of the electoral votes (49 percent if you include Florida and Michigan), while Obama has won states with 38 percent of electoral votes. States with 14 percent of the electoral votes have yet to vote.

The Clinton campaign would do even better to use population rather than electoral votes, since smaller states are overrepresented in the Electoral College. By my count, based on the 2007 Census estimates, Clinton's states have 132,214,460 people (160,537,525 if you include Florida and Michigan), and Obama's states have 101,689,480 people. States with 39,394,152 people have yet to vote. In percentage terms this means Clinton's states have 44 percent of the nation's population (53 percent if you include Florida and Michigan) and Obama's states have 34 percent of the nation's population. The yet-to-vote states have 13 percent of the nation's population.

Thus the Clinton campaign could argue that Obama cannot win states with most of the nation's people even if he wins all the remaining eight primaries. Could argue—but I don't think that's going to persuade any superdelegates that Clinton is the real winner.............."

again. AQ is incapable of prevailing against sunnis in Iraq. It does not stand a chance against shiites. Iran has no reason to support a sunni organization with no real chance at success in Iraq over supporting shiites who will control the Iraqi government.

AQ's support from iran was in the form of IED's to attack US forces. iran will support anyone that is attacking the US in any way. They have been and are continuing to support AQ in iraq, right along with supporting the sadr forces. AQ has been crushed in iraq by the sunni's, not by the iraq government. And nothing is going to end in iraq until we take on iran. Whether by invasion or supporting an uprising by the population.

Gov. Rendell: ‘Keith Olbermann Should Be On The Obama Payroll’
By Noel Sheppard | April 6, 2008 - 18:15 ET

When it comes to media bias, if liberals are not only able to recognize your press organization's lack of impartiality, but also assert such when cameras are rolling, you know you're not fooling anybody.

Such appears to certainly be the case with cable network MSNBC, and, in particular, its "Countdown" host, which both were the targets of Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) a few weeks ago when he actually stated three times on PBS's "Charlie Rose," "Keith Olbermann should be on the Obama payroll."

With Olbermann's sycophantic behavior during this campaign, what makes Rendell think he's not?

With that in mind, the following extraordinarily candid discussion on March 26 that somehow slipped under the radar until now is sure to delight all those disgusted with the behavior of MSNBC employees

the superdelegate model was developed to keep transient trends and temporarily popular movements and issues from subverting the long term mission and vision of the democratic party.

See how nicely YOUR system worked for you: the mood in the country of being so pissed off at Bush had led to a dilution of your candidate base with a bunch of lightweights who were trying to be the UN-Bush.... and as a result, a middle of the road completely non-conservative candidate who appealed to the middle of the bell curve was able to wrest the nomination of the conservative republican party from the pack of lightweight losers.

If the system made sense, Clinton would be far ahead

Under a winner-take-all primary system, Hillary Clinton would have a wide lead over Barack Obama -- and enough delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination by June.

By Sean Wilentz


April 7, 2008 | The continuing contest for the Democratic presidential nomination has become a frenzy of debates and proclamations about democracy. Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has been particularly vociferous in claiming that its candidate stands for a transformative, participatory new politics. It has vaunted Obama's narrow lead in the overall popular vote in the primaries to date, as well as in the count of elected delegates, as the definitive will of the party's rank and file. If, while heeding the party's rules, the Democratic superdelegates overturn those majorities, Obama's supporters claim, they will have displayed a cynical contempt for democracy that would tear the party apart.

These arguments might be compelling if Obama's leads were not so reliant on certain eccentricities in the current Democratic nominating process, as well as on some blatantly anti-democratic maneuvers by the Obama campaign. Obama's advantage hinges on a system that, whatever the actual intentions behind it, seems custom-made to hobble Democratic chances in the fall. It depends on ignoring one of the central principles of American electoral politics, one that will be operative on a state-by-state basis this November, which is that the winner takes all. If the Democrats ran their nominating process the way we run our general elections, Sen. Hillary Clinton would have a commanding lead in the delegate count, one that will only grow more commanding after the next round of primaries, and all questions about which of the two Democratic contenders is more electable would be moot.

Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats in primary states choose their nominee on the basis of a convoluted system of proportional distribution of delegates that varies from state to state and that obtains in neither congressional nor presidential elections. It is this eccentric system that has given Obama his lead in the delegate count. If the Democrats heeded the "winner takes all" democracy that prevails in American politics, and that determines the president, Clinton would be comfortably in front. In a popular-vote winner-take-all system, Clinton would now have 1,743 pledged delegates to Obama's 1,257. If she splits the 10 remaining contests with Obama, as seems plausible, with Clinton taking Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Puerto Rico, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Montana, Oregon and Guam, she'd pick up another 364 pledged delegates. She'd have 2,107 before a single superdelegate was wooed. You need 2,024 to be the Democratic nominee. Game over. No more blogospheric ranting about Clinton "stealing" the nomination by kidnapping superdelegates or cutting deals at a brokered convention

You need to worry about who you will vote for in November now that your party has nominated someone who clearly is not a muscular conservative like you!:laugh2:

I know it is a problem, so do many top Dems, and their allies in the liberal media

again...not YOUR problem.

I predict that the democrats will unite in November because we have something important to unite FOR.

Your problem is who to vote for now that McCain is the nominee of the republican party and muscular conservatives have been cut out of the process.

I am confident my son can hold his own... especially is the operation chaos operatives are wimps like you!

and Denver COULD look like a lot of things, but it will certainly end up being your party's worst nightmare. We WILL be united in November and, by your own admission, muscular conservatives like yourself will NOT vote for John boy. A democrat is the white house... a democratic house and a democratic senate. Adios Bush and everything he brought with him!:laugh2:

You really are living in a dream world if you think the country is going to rally behind a racist sack of shit like Obama and his America-hating wife. Only the most delusional libs like yourself ignore his poor judgement in his friendships with assholes like Wright, Rezko, and self admitted terrorist William Ayers. Shitbag liberals like yourself are a disgrace to this country, if Obama was a bonefide child molester you'd still rally behind him because the only truely important thing that you care about is someone to forward your socialist and Marxist agenda.

I voted for him in my caucus. I'll vote for him if he gets the nomination and I will be proud to call him my president.

And, as I said, when you call someone a shitbag and a disgrace to their country, you really ought not to expect a great deal of cordial discourse in return.

I have discussed the Reverend Wright issue ad nauseum....

Rezko has been addressed by Obama and is really old news.

The connection to WIlliam Ayers is inconsequential...

MFM is still ducking Obama's racism, his racist mentor, his indicted buddy Resko, and Obama's terrorist buddy Ayers

With MFM, as long as his boy has a (D) at the end of him nane - that is good enough for him.

Dean warns Dems of divided danger

Howard Dean warned on Sunday that a Democratic Party that’s still divided come convention time could hand the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presidency. But Dean said he's not going to pressure undecided superdelegates to pick a side.

Speaking on both CBS’s “Face the Nation” and ABC’s “This Week,” Dean sounded confident that the superdelegates themselves would make their decisions quickly enough to avoid disaster.

“The only thing that is going to make John McCain president is disunity among Democrats. And we cannot afford four more years, essentially, of George W. Bush,” Dean said on “Face the Nation.”

“I think the remaining 300-some-odd superdelegates, or unpledged delegates, will continue to do what the 470-odd have already done, which is to make their views known, in drips and drabs, between now and the end of June. And I think that's the right thing to do for the country, never mind just the party.”

Dean also said he wanted to seat the delegations from Florida and Michigan in some way, but added that party officials also need to do so in a way that makes clear to states that they can’t break the rules with impunity.

“They obviously can't be seated as is, which is what one campaign is saying. And they're certainly not going to be excluded, which is what the other campaign is saying. But there is a reasonable, thoughtful way to do this,” Dean said.

not ducking at all. I have discussed those issues. and see no reason to continue to discuss them with someone who only wants to rehash them for the purpose of stirring the pot.

For me, as long as my party's candidate supports our platform, I will support our candidate. Both Clinton and Obama do. I prefer Obama, but will work to get out the vote regardless of which is chosen.

if you want to know what the democratic platform is, go here:

it will be updated at the convention in Denver, but the key planks will remain unchanged.
