obviously, you are a Hillarybot, completely guided by irrational emotions and immune to reason, or alternately, a 65 year old, low-information, white woman!! :-)

Hillary Clinton can’t become the nominee, it seems, without the popular vote lead, which she won’t get because Obama blocked MI and FL is a disaster, because somehow superdelegates saving our ass is “harmful” to the party. By electing Obama, we’re selecting someone who: has a remarkably poor showing in critical GE states in spite of performing at his peak levels, will lose FL, is crippled by Wright, has not proven his qualifications for president, has put himself above the party by disenfranchising MI, is extremely unvetted, and a walking blank canvas to be projected upon. We’re turning down our strongest candidate, one who has the trump cards of the economy and gender, for the sake of an arbitrary delegate lead and an extremely tainted and (likely) slim popular vote lead?

Al Gore, save us!

Yes, this young man with a grad school degree is definitely “moody.”

God, I can’t believe what we’re about to do, and for what? Fear of public backlash by some small group of people (as if women will just fall in line)? They honestly don’t have a clue as to how bad this is. I am in disbelief.

electability is their key concern, and if McCain continues to beat both in polls for months and months, they will definitely talk to the weaker campaign privately and compel one or the other to stand down until next cycle.

they’re the biggest future voter bloc of the party by far, while other more established blocs (except Old people) are static or shrinking, populationwise. And young voters have not been a focus of the DNC nor of Congresspeople at all, or they would have been catering to them for the past few years—O has been but not the party or sitting officials at all.

Good Lord, I forgot about the demographic mismatch between McCain and Obama—most strikingly with Latinos. McCain remains a “maverick” image to many people (Yes, the man’s crazy, but image trumps reality) and Latinos respect the extremely unpopular stand he took to push forward comprehensive immigration reform.

Whoever wins the election will push such reform through a Democratic Congress and secure the Latino bloc for their respective party. Obama will not win Latinos. And it’s more than Wright and that vicious UNITE-HERE ad.

Overall, with all voters, the economy will obviously be critical (unless Bush starts a conflict with Iran), but even there I’ve seen a poll where McCain beats Obama on the economy. Anyone else know which poll that is? CNN?

of the independent straight-talking maverick that’s now set in stone and unkillable.

Just as Hillary = b*tch is set in stone.

the undefined one is Obama, but the GOP has been doing it all along (he’s unAmerican, foreign, muslim, unpatriotic) —and while Obama runs on his bio, it’s all very vague and general to most people (he’s fresh/new/new generation/uniter not a divider/post-everything/not fighting or angry about anything ever/not like those previous black candidates/Tiger Woods, etc).

in a bunch of states—it’s both racist and sexist.

shrinking, which helps Hillary and the party in the future.

We must win in all of these in Nov— FL, NY, CA, MA, PA, MI, IL, OH, NJ. There’s no winning without all of them Blue.

Obama can’t make his tiny/empty/red states’ delegates in Nov. add up to 270 if he were to win them, but he’s not gonna.

How is bringing in Al Gore anything other than the mother of all train wrecks?

He didn’t run, nobody voted for him, and now the party leadership is going to disenfranchise *everyone* by selecting him?

The job of the superdelegates is to break ties, not completely set aside the primary process.

Clinton’s numbers are rising in Pennsylvania. Can’t wait for the Big Orange melt down if she does better than 20 points. Markos big blunder posts are always made in April.

Good point! I remember reading not long ago about U.S. demographics trending coastal. Interior states steadily losing population, while appr. 50% of total pop. living within 100 miles of either coast. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I read that——due, no doubt, to my being an older, low-informational, slow, poorly educated, boomer who helped destroy the entire planet non-person.

Again, unfortunately, the ’elites’ (and I use that term very loosely) are so intelligent that they do not think long-term. My sister wrote a long, incredibly wonderful letter to Pelosi yesterday-and my sister can write. Am trying to get a copy of it to post.

Does anyone else sense that FOX news is holding videos/stuff back on BO? They have really been hitting him hard—-and since they have no love for Hillary, I’m starting to believe that they want to drive her numbers up so she can win the pop. vote, and the sd’s will pick her. Result being the AA’s walk out-and split the Dem’s for the GE.

Possibly a far fetched theory. But to original point, I doubt our SD’s have the fore sight to consider long-term benefit.

Fostering a racial split has been the strategy from the very beginnning. That is why both Obama and Clinton need to be on the ticket.
