Super delegate win could equal bigger loss for Hillary

It actually is very European. As in the winning party selects the PM, not the voters directly. And we all know how much in love the democrats are with anything europe, right?

Super delegates are not more important.  They really should be considered automatic delegates not super delegates.  They are seated automatically based on their status as current or former Democratic office holders.  They are about 20% of delegates. 

I think Hillary SHOULD absolutely stay in the race and let the primary season run its course.  It amazes me how Hillary and Obama have been practically tied and so many are calling for her to hang it up and let the coronation of Barack "the future" Obama continue.  We have a process, let's follow it.  It wasn't very long ago that the death knolls of John Sydney McCain were heralded and now he is the nominee. 

I remember seeing a Democratic bumper sticker stating "make your vote count" with Hillary Clinton's name on it and then she claims that if push comes to shove that she will still win with her super delegates. BTW, I think it's wrong to use the word super when it comes to politicians, unless we are talking about how super selfish they all are.

super delegates votes count too. 

Right. Some people are just more equal than others. Hello Snowball and Napolean.

You mean they are the only ones that count. You know for a Democrat you sure love being told right in your face that your vote doesn't really count even though they told you it would. If all Democrats are like you man you are a gullible breed.

With the way the Dem primary is set up to split the delegates in most states based on popular votes, it seems difficult not to have a close race.  It is certainly a more individually egalitarian approach than the winner take all approach in most of the Repub primaries, though it is more likely to produce these protracted battles.  That said, why bother with delegates if you're going to predominantly follow the popular vote.

As history has shown there is a decent likelihood that the popular vote will split, this just pushes more power into the hands of superdelegates.  They may be elected or past elected officials, but are they elected to do a specific job of government or to decide who becomes the party's nominee?

They are not the only ones that count.  They are only 20% of the delegates.  In most years, their votes would not hold much sway.  Because this is a close election they do.  People act like they are throwing all the primary and caucus delegates vote out and only letting the super delegates decide and that is just plain NOT TRUE. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was awesome

When you have a person like Hillary Clinton saying she will win regardless of the popular vote because of her super delegates, people don't have to act, they react. But you continue to "act" like your party is not doing anything that could be deemed shameful or disgraceful. As I said before:

If all Democrats are like you man you are a gullible breed.

I won't count Hillary out yet since Obama’s dirty little racist affiliation has surfaced (man of the people, yeah right). She's doing a good job of setting herself up for failure during the general election now that her first lady records are coming out. She said her plane was shot at in Bosnia, Comedian Sinbad says "not true". She said Chelsea and her had to keep their heads down and run for cover when they landed. Photos show them grinning and gripping outside the plane. Did that other guy in the democratic race quit (what was his name), he might be their best shot at prez. Looks like the Clinton mind control trick is broken (help me Obi Wan). Otherwise it's McDonalds for McCain...cause he's luvin it! 

Michigan & Florida primary disasters = Palm Beach hanging chads (what were they thinking?).

Super Delegates = Supreme Court.

Reckon the Dems will be happy to have Obama 'robbed' of the nomination?

The irony in all this is tasty indeed.

I find it incredibly humorous that Loca comes here and defends her 'gal' Hilldog.  Of course you are happy about the idea of Hillary winning via super delegates, and of course you don't think their votes are more important, but...

Obama has won how many caucuses and primaries?  Answer: the vast majority of them.  Even Hillary's 'win' in Texas was a loss.  She lost the caucuses there, and though she may have won the popular vote, didn't collect as many delegates (not super delegates, but delegates) there.

Face facts - Hillary should be long gone and should have walked away once she didn't get the delegates she needed from Texas.  That she didn't shows what an egomaniac she is.  She feels she's owed the job.  Tells people that Obama isn't qualified while implying she is.  Why isn't he qualified?  Not enough experience she says.  What real experience does she offer?  First lady?  Wife of the commander-in-chief that was getting a BJ when he should have been working on protecting the security of the nation?  Mrs. failed health care plan?  Mrs. Whitewater.  Mrs. how much is that pardon in the window?  Mrs. President whose National Security Advisor stuffed classified documents down his pants in order not to let the original materials be examined because they could reflect badly upon the President or himself?

Yeah, she has a ton of experience.  Experience in making money in the stock market with little or no effort.  Experience in carpet bagging into the job of Senator in one of the most liberal states in the Union, rather than going back 'home' where there wasn't a chance in hell of winning a job as a Senator.

Who do you want answering the phone?  The guy that associates with people with beliefs similar to Kanye West (even if he doesn't share those beliefs) or the woman that wasn't aware of where her husband was when he was trying to have some sort of relationship with Mrs. Willey, or Paula Jones, or ....

Yeah, I'd be supporting her ass all the way to the end too (NOT!!!)

Loca has  a right to come here and support her girl. If the Pastor Wright thing would have broke 2 months earlier, I'm sure it would be a different ball game now for Hillary.

I think this election will be a win-win for republicans no matter who gets elected.There would be an element of amusement watching the the "experianced" democrat president in action, as long as our wallets can stand it.

Tell that to the "04 Red Sox. There's a chance, though slim, for her to win with some, reasonable help from super delegates. How is it Kerry, Kennedy, and Richardson had no qualms ignoring the majority state delegate pledges? If it were Edwards and Clinton going toe to toe till the end there would not be a cry to end it: DNC fears the black and youth voters.

The only fear they have, is fear itself!

Good one!
