  • The Superdelegates

    [Read the article: A supersize controversy]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Are there to correct problems. Like all the crossover votes going to Obama in some primaries coming from right wing Clinton haters just to beat Hillary. It's going to happen in Texas again maybe. A boatload of votes going to Obama all around the country from people who will be voting for the republican in the general.

  • This Specific Primary Year

    Can be used to redefine the superdelegate as follows. If neither candidate has 2,025 at the convention and one side of the party, barely ahead, is leading us on some half-assed pipe dream based on rhetoric only that has no chance in the general, then the superdelegates are to step in and administer reality.

  • This Is The Pipe Dream Mentality I'm Talking About

    Some Obama supporter replies to me that all his republican votes are coming from republicans who are voting for him in the general........LMAO.........Superdelegates PLEASE step in on this naive nonsense.

    It looked like a democratic year. A big democratic year. I thought the only victory the republicans could get, which is the only one they really wanted, was to keep Hillary out of the general. Which is about 50 percent of why I am for her. Now I'm thinking they may get 2 victories. Hillary defeated in the primary, and then they beat Obama. It's unreal.

    To insure a McCain win. They don't care if McCain wins. They just want Hillary out. Those are bogus votes for Obama. Tens of thousands of them.

    [Read the article: A supersize controversy]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The republicans voting for Hillary in the primaries is not intended to nominate Obama as an eaier candidate to beat........It's simply votes against Hillary, that people are counting as votes for Obama tnat got him delegates.

  • Like I Said

    There's a big bunch of wingers that don't give a damn if they win the general or not...........I'm just saying for the sake of honesty, which the Obama supporters seem to be calling for non-stop, a segment of his delegation at the convention should be called the winger-vote delegates.

    I never said they voted against Hillary because they didn't want to run against her in the general. I said some of Obamas delegates are bogus. That's all. The question is how many.

    Obama didn't have to vote, so it's all speculation there............I know for a fact on the day that the US soldiers and Iraqi citizens were taking down the statue, Obama was not running his mouth against the war.

    Yes Texas could go to Obama. A lot of wing nuts voting against Hillary down there. The right wing radio pricks are talking it up. That's delegates for Obama, but smelly delegates.

    Hillary has been shooting for this a long time. It's been her dream and her focus. Then when she's in the fight, a big chunk of the party ends up talking about her just like Hannity does. It's a real pisser.
