Superdelegates Ignore The Voters

[red states rule]

Showing the party hacks do not give a damn what their voters decide, SD's in states Hillary won are not endorsing her


Superdelegates hold back
By Christina Bellantoni

Several superdelegates from Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio are bucking the will of the people by withholding endorsements from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, staying silent even though she overwhelmingly won their districts.

The silence from dozens of superdelegates who have good reason to back Mrs. Clinton amplifies the near impossibility of her winning the Democratic presidential nod.

The schedules of Mrs. Clinton and her rival Sen. Barack Obama revealed their priorities: She campaigned in three states while he spent yesterday wooing superdelegates among Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

staying silent....
The silence from dozens of superdelegates


Actually, I'm happy with silence.

It's them cheering for Obama that would depress me.

While they are silent they are waiting and seeing.

These are the ultimate in spineless politicians. All they want to do is endorse the person who wins so they can hopefully get some hand out in the future. Its a game that most of them play, but these are some of the worst examples.

this is why i see delegates as stupid. they should only be used when there is a tie. we are in the time where we really don't need delegates anymore. jimmeny cricket.

The system is so screwed up because the party leaders do not have faith in their voters to pick the correct candidate

Why Dems are putting up with this is beyond me. The party hacks in the party are playing them for fools

We are talking career ending decisions here, guess Bill and Hill would reach out and touch some of them?

Having political super delegates is the absolutely stupidest idea I've ever heard of. If you have to have super delegates then require them to be out of politics for at least a decade or 80 years old which ever comes first.

A stupid idea from stupid arrogant liberals. Are you really surprised that the Dem selection process has become a total cluster fuck?

What does "pop a cap" mean?

Why? When they DIDN'T have superdelegates, the elected convention attenders went crazy and picked McGovern, who lost 49 states. I'd say that's the stupidest idea I'VE heard ---------------- letting non-professional politicians pick some loser every time so the Dems never have a chance of getting in.

So you agree the Dem voters are to stupid to choose who they want, so the party hacks are the only ones smart enough to pick the right person?

Libs never cease to amaze me. Only the government and Democrats can make the correct choices for people

Only the morally and intellectually superior liberals know what is best for everyone else

With the SD's it seems they are doing the same

From what I have seen, all the Dem delegates are odd

anyone see a trend here

[red states rule]

But when their liberalism fails, libs do not take the blame. They whine how not enough funding was provided, or not enough time has been given for their programs to work, or the people are to stupid to understand the complexity of the issues

The Price of Delay

The question is: What is the cost at this point of delaying Obama's triumph?

The answer you hear from Obama's headquarters is that the time lag from May 6 to June 3, the last day of voting, is not much of a problem, so long as Clinton does not use it mainly to point out his weaknesses. His aides don't want four more weeks of claims from the Clinton camp about gaps in his health plan or his vulnerability with Catholics, women and blue-collar white men.

The lateness of the convention -- not until the final week of August -- leaves enough time to heal the intraparty wounds and plan the general election campaign. Money has been no problem for Obama all year, and when his already impressive organization is bolstered by recruits from the Clinton side, it will look at least as formidable as McCain's.

That said, there is still a price to be paid for letting the nomination campaign drag on.

At the most personal level, it denies Obama the rest he badly needs. His friends talk with real concern about the fatigue he constantly feels and often shows. But as long as Clinton is campaigning in states that are potentially competitive in November, Obama cannot fail to show up, lest their voters think he is taking them for granted.

Her thirst for power is amazing JD. The serial liar continues on, and I love the fact she is keeping the uncivil war in the Dem party going on
