Icon10 Super-delegates

I do miss Non.

And I'm against this super-delegate crap. Tom Brokaw's vote should not count more than mine. Nobody's should. If you want your vote to count more, you should have to go about it the old-fashioned way and campaign and convince people.

For the "Democratic" party to decide that some peoples' votes count more than others, and then to make it 20% which effectively hands a serious margin of control to the wealthy (unless there are a lot of working-class super-delegates out there that I haven't heard of) is complete and utter anti-American elitist bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

Seriously, I might be voting Green over this, if Hilary wins the nomination because of the practice of super-delegation.

This is figure approximates the numbers from Iraq Body Count, the most well documented, and highly regarded, source of civilian Iraq deaths from violence during our war with Iraq.

So your logic is that if we are not there, the number will go down... That makes perfect sense... not.

So what?..point is what if Obama gets the nomination based on super delgates alone?
(theres superdlegates attached to state outcomes and some just by pay offs etc..there many more that don't have to make known thier decision until the day of the convention...Obama's small lead in declared vs Hillary is pretty much meaningless atm..neither one of them has anywhere close to half the 800+ superdelgates..they are both playing with around 1/4 of them all atm)


Seems the (IMO BS) position around here is that if Hillary wins by super delegates then people won't vote for her...
OK fine.......



Well now same situation but Obama gets it because Tom Brokaw voted for him.

Now what?




Daybreaker seems to imply in his last sentence that he'll live with the horrible thing he's (*)(*)(*)(*)ing if they pick Obama...

Default Not Clinton

I will not be voting for Clinton. She is not the one for the job. She needs to be Vice President. I think that Obama should run as independent if she wins.
