I like it how you keep citing Obama though, I wasn't aware he was a candidate this election.

[pinebox]

17. It wasn't a racist ad? And number of people running who voted for Iraq?

Funny thing that racism.....
Again, is Obama running? May I vote for him?

19. Again, Obama is running?

Is there a ballot someplace I can vote for him?

I'm sorry I was under the impression we were talking about candidates who are running in the 2016 race.

Meanwhile......today on the NYT's front page. Hmmm I don't see Obama listed.

[3hummingbirds]

28. sniper fire

That was a good one. She is such a liar. Must have thought there was a gun in the flowers.

[Waiting For Everyman]

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Partial list of candidates that have garnered the most superdelegates in the past...

Walter Mondale
Howard Dean

Did the superdelegates choose wisely?

[Tarc]

3. The superdelegates, boogeyman or savior, depending on which way the Bernievane blows...

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. Is there anything about my post that was incorrect?

And I noticed how you avoided answering the question.

[tonyt53]

26. Mondale was a good choice. His downfall was that he told the truth

He said during the last debate that he would raise taxes. Reagan said he wouldn't, but he did raise taxes several times. But all anybody heard from Mondale was that he would raise their taxes.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. Sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate#Election_of_1988

"The superdelegates have not always prevailed, however. In the Democratic primary phase of the 2004 election, Howard Dean acquired an early lead in delegate counts by obtaining the support of a number of superdelegates before even the first primaries were held."

Are there any other demands you'd like to make?

[bettyellen]

20. Untrue- he had an early lead. So did SBS in NH, LOL.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Wow. Way to miss the point of the post. Both of you.

The point is that in the past, superdelegates almost unanimously supported Walter Mondale. Not good judgment.

Before the primaries even started, superdelegates were lining up behind Howard Dean. Good judgment? Your call.

[bettyellen]

22. You don't seem to know how the SDs work. They move away from the losers.....

to show solidarity with the party.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Talk about who doesn't know what...

The superdelegates were created to protect the party elite from the Proles (by way of an insurgent candidacy supported by a majority of voters).

[bettyellen]

24. Were we talking about the why? Nope. But they aren't there to sideline the more popular candidate--

just because of early polls. I am sorry, but that whole idea is fucking stupid, and smacks of desperation. I am sorry you are buying the fairy tales that something like that could or even should happen..... but the path for SBS to win has closed.

[islandmkl]

15. number of Presidents who, as a candidate, made a deal with his opponent to prevent

convention mayhem by awarding the opponent a plum cabinet position, even though said opponent could not have won the nomination without swaying the super-delegates to her side (which was attempted but unsuccessful right up to the convention):

1) Barack Obama


this game is fun as hell...thanks
