Ickes says Hillary has it locked up

Superdelegates will be the difference. He says it won't matter what happened in the primaries.

So tell me again that Republicans disenfranchise voters.

Wow... so one of Hillary's senior advisers thinks she's going to win this, huh?

Remain calm!! All is well!! :o :o

Sounds like the democrat convention is going to go swimmingly well.

Even if the statement were true, which it isn't, people need to remember that there's no constitutionally enshrined right to vote in primaries, or indeed to have anything to do at all with the selection of a party's nominee. Primaries haven't been around that long. Is it BS that superdelegates might decide things? Sure. But it's not evidence of the disenfranchisement of voters. It's evidence maybe that voters have been convinced that a primary and the general election are the same thing, but it's not disenfranchisement.

If the Dems nominate Hillary even if Obama has more votes from the people, even the wettest dream from the GOP wouldn't be able to suppress voter turnout as much. John McCain is begging for that opportunity. Hell, his first commercial would talk about how Hillary isn't even the choice of her own party.

If the Dems do that, I'm done with them. I'm officially joining the ****ing Green party or whatever other weird leftist, third-string party we have out here.

I'll be right behind you. Maybe we'll just start our own party.

Which is why, if Obama continues on the surge he's been on, he'll be the nominee. However, I think the pause in the election calendar may blunt that somewhat.

As a Libertarian and Green Party voter, let me just say we aren't weird or leftist. But we're certainly third-string.

No. ****ing. Way.
They will not give Hillary the nod if Obama wins more pledged delegates.
Of course, at the rate he's been going lately, he may just absolutely crush her anyway, in which case the super delegates wouldn't matter.
But I'm guessing most of them put their support behind her when they thought there was no way anyone in the field would beat her. Now that it's an actual race (and one she's even trailing), I'll bet most of them are at least up for grabs, if not already moving to his side.

I think the greater question is...who gives a ****?

Four years from now, we'll all be talking about how the next person running is REALLY going to change things.

Then four years from that, we'll all be talking about how it's time for a change and if we vote for the new in-crowd candidate, then he/she will be brave enough to take on the system and change things.

See where I'm going? Call me disinterested, but it's all the same **** and really, nothing is ever going to get accomplished.

But, then again, if someone can lower my gas prices, they've got my support.

 

[ADifferentOkie]

Do you think there is no difference between how things are now and how they were under Clinton?

I was walking near Union Square today and some creepy-looking kid jumped in front of me with a sign and a bunch of pamphlets and in a way-too-happy-voice, said, "Do you have time for the environment today?"

Please don't turn into that kid.

I said, "Yes. I don't have time for you, though."

 

[sportschick]

I don't do way-too-happy. I think I'm safe!

Um, I think a lot has changed in the last seven years.

Of course . . . but never underestimate the power of selective memory, vis a vis
