If that's who the Democrates want, then they should have him. I'm not a Registered Democrate nor a Registered Republican. I don't vote or assist the choosing of who a Party wants to nominate to run for a political decsision. When it's time for the election, I take a look at the canidates and then decide to vote. I just don't give a damn about Primaries and Deligets.

But who got the most Delegates? For Democrats it doesn't reflect thier actuall voters.

I saw on T.V. earlier, and it is glorious. Who wants to bet that Hillary is jumping up and down screaming profanities at her staff? I bet Bill is on the phone with reporters accusing them of being in the "vast right wing conspiracy." I really do hope this is our final farewell to those fucktards. I don't like Obama, but I will take 4 years of him in office over those twits any day of the year. Bye bye Bill and Hill. Go write some books and make some speeches at colleges every few years. Y'all are done.

Right now,tonight, Barak has a little less than a hundred more delegates and for the 1st time leads over Clinton,including super delegates. But this is long from over,and will probably go to the convention.But not one`s dreading that,contrary to the MSM. I think it`s all very cool.

This is slightly off topic but it seems an opportune time to ask. All candidates use the word 'change', Obama more than the other two but he never explains what he means by 'change', neither does Clinton and McCain. The more I watch the primaries on TV, the more surreal it gets as this mythical word 'change' is used more and more without any accompanying policies or explanation of what 'change' means. So....Can someone tell me what 'change' means for each candidate?

But this is long from over,and will probably go to the convention.But not one`s dreading that,contrary to the MSM. I think it`s all very cool. I'm not reading that. Checking here, and updated today (although it does not give a time) they are pretty even. I don't think I am reading this wrong. Obama has 1052 delegates but only 135 SuperDelegates have committed to him. His total stands at 1188. On the other hand, Hillary has only 949 delegates but she has the endorsement of 226 of the superdelegates giving her a current total of 1175. Of the regular delegates, Obama is ahead by about 100. Perhaps that is what you mean? The totals are standing only 13 votes apart, with Hillary slightly behind. It will be interesting to see if this actually comes down to the Superdelegates. quote: There are 794 (not including Michigan and Florida) total Democratic superdelegates that the nominees are trying to be endorsed by. This consists of 718 regular superdelegates and 76 unpledged add-ons. We will add the unpledged add-ons as soon as they are named by each state. Thats an awful lot of extra votes (that have nothing to do with the way the little guy is voting) out there and up for grabs, in My opinion. More than half remain uncommitted at this point. Bill has been making phone calls. One of the undecideds said he enjoyed talking to ex-Prez Bill even though he realized it was just a call to try to get a commitment for Hillary. I heard it today, but I really can't remember who the Superdelegate in question is. But word in the media has it he was quite candid and said lots of Superdelegates are getting Clinton calls and no one is hearing from Barak. Maybe he should get busy! Without Michigan and Florida, the candidates need 2024 votes to get the nomination. If Michigan and Florida are put back into the mix, the number goes to 2207 for a nod. If I am misinterpreting this info, feel free to correct Me. As an independant I admit I have not been keeping close track of what states are yet to vote, but it seems pretty damn close to Me!

If Hillary loses Texas and Ohio come March 4, it may be time to stick a fork in her. quote: WASHINGTON - Memo to Hillary Rodham Clinton: Barack Obama is stealing your faithful. The Illinois senator racked up sizable wins in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, besting the former first lady by a margin of 2-to-1. He also narrowly pulled ahead among delegates for the first time in the contest. He did so by winning over many of the voters who form the core of Clinton's political base. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23136915 quote: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers increasingly believe that, after a series of losses, she has been boxed into a must-win position in the Ohio and Texas primaries on March 4, and she has begun reassuring anxious donors and superdelegates that the nomination is not slipping away from her, aides said Monday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23119050

Does anyone else find the comparison here amazing. President Clinton always compared himself to President Kennedy. Now Senator Clinton is playing the part of Senator Ted Kennedy, getting close but no cigar; flavored like Bill's or plain. I hope she stays away from dark bridges in the night while driving home her new campaign manager.

It rocks [:)] . (I hope he wins the election.) (Not that I can do much about it.)

FR Hmmmm.....the people vote and the candidates get delegates. The delegates decide who gets to run. The people vote again and the electors appoint the new president...the electorate gets to think that they elected the appointed president. Sounds a lot like something Charles Dodgson would write. thompson

This will hurt him in the general election. He voted in favor of the Bill which would have denied immunity from lawsuits against telecom companies cooperating with the government after 9/11. Before jumping on the privacy bandwagon or civil right of privacy; note that this was immunity from CIVIL suits. Any release of information or phone access is still subject to criminal and Constitutional scrutiny. This was all about money and tying up the telecom companies in long drawn out civil court cases. Senator Clinton's political savvy came into play - she was absent. If Senator Obama goes up against Senator McCain this minor and, most likely vetoed, bill will be a focus of showing how Senator Obama would tie the hands of those trying to protect the US against future attacks or finding the perpetrators of prior attacks. This won't 'play' in middle America. It didn't even 'play' in the Senate, where the 67 votes against are represented in the majority by Senators up for reelection in their home States. I wonder if this indicates Senator Obama's confidence or his naiveté. quote: "We lost every single battle we had on this bill," conceded Chris Dodd, which ought to tell the Connecticut Senator something about the logic of what he was proposing. His own amendment -- to deny immunity from lawsuits to telecom companies that cooperated with the government after 9/11 -- didn't even get a third of the Senate. It lost 67-31, though notably among the 31 was possible Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama. (Hillary Clinton was absent, while John McCain voted in favor.) It says something about his national security world view, or his callowness, that Mr. Obama would vote to punish private companies that even the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee said had "acted in good faith." Had Senator Obama prevailed, a President Obama might well have been told "no way" when he asked private Americans to help his Administration fight terrorists. Mr. Obama also voted against the overall bill, putting him in MoveOn.org territory. Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120286974171964257.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks

Somebody up there -------^ says they dont care about the Primaries. Well I reckon you dont grasp what primaries are for. OK ? Dont they allow different wings of the same party to strive for the nomination ? Sounds important to me !

As for Hillary, yes she is upset, as reported in the papers she replaced her campaign manager and the assistant campaign manager also quite. Although there is no report that they were forced out. It is interesting to note that Hillary is up to her old tricks. In Texas she is speaking with a Southern drawl "ya 'all". She is hoping to win Texas.

The way I see it...it is a loss for America no matter what. Obama, Clinton, and McCain have absolutely no foreign policy experience and they have no experience running a god damn thing. None of these people are qualified to be president. McCain is a grumpy, angry, old man. Hillary is the most hated woman in the nation. And Obama's warm words with zero substance doesn't hyponize me like he seems to everyone else. We're screwed no matter who wins this thing....

I certainly want a Democrat as President at this point. But, I sure as hell don't want my income taxes raised! Obama seems to be the best person for the job, out of those three. Give Obama a chance, he will do all the things he promises! [:D]
