Apparently, the superdelegates don't care. Now tied to Hillary and soon to supercede her.
Oh they care. Why do you think some are still on the fence?

And you know who will care even more? All those voters NOT of the dem/lib party who will come out in droves in November.

They're on the fence for political purposes, not wanting to show that they want Hillary out but being gracious until it's over. But I thought you could figure that one out yourself. Oops. And it's Hillary's lack of superdelegates we're talking about here. November doesn't count in this discussion. She will be long gone.

Wow what a horrible choice the last 8 years have been. 9 T deficits, a war based on lies, favoritism issued to contractors, designs to attack Iran, poor policies with other nations, executive branch disclosing CIA agents..... the list is long... I look at the Missioned accomplished and still wonder why a 6'5" arab attached to a dialysis machine can't be found...oh they couldnt find WMD's either.
Did we mention gas prices or the economy?

He has to win the Democrat nomination first.

There's still 3 months for him to screw things up and make more bone-headed comments to prove he's an elitist in the vein of Gore, Kerry or Kennedy.

The "Super-delegates" also have to weigh the growing number of people who are saying that if they knew then what they know now, they would not have voted for Obama in the first place.

Too many subjects to discuss in one thread, but the war was not based on "lies," it was based on inaccurate/poor information due to the intelligence agencies being slashed during the '90s.

I guess the dems/libs haven't learned from history. Nominating northeast liberals always fails - so what do they do? Nominate the most liberal guy in the senate who is from the mid-west.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

On the fence? Get real, it's all a game. It's called marketing 101.

The dnc wants to milk their ability to get media attention as much as possible. They get coverage every time a superdelegate announces a choice, especially when the count remains close. More attention if someone like Edwards just "hints" at a choice.

And strategists at the dnc also know that media attention is limited. Every time the superdelegates get attention, McCain is not getting coverage. That's an important strategy, too.

A+ for civics, Normie and for general savvy. Hopefully, others,will learn a thing or two about government, media - politics in general - before they post here so the risk of their statements being shot down are reduced.
