Was that "ironious" or "maloderous"?
Politics are about what?
I wonder about the concern over super-delegates without equal concern over caucuses. They are what they are, political machinery. Obama seems to have the advantage in the caucus vs popular vote states, Hillary in getting commitments (probably, maybe, could be, not binding) from super-delegates. Caucuses are about the politically connected or political aspirants, it is not a populist voting mechanism. Super delegates I guess can have a similar outcome in that theoretically, they could short-circuit the popular vote in the end.
Exit polls show:
Hillory is favored by
- poor
- whites (men and women, but especially women)
- Latinos
- Asian
Obama is favored by
- youth
- blacks
- wealthier
- higher educated
Draw your own conclusions, I can't from that mix. But I do find it annoying that Obama denies that he dominates in the black demographic. Why is he ducking this? I would think he would be proud. Never mind, I understand "Mr. lifting the country from it's dark night of the soul" is just playing politics.
And puuuleeeze, Obama cannot garner a simple majority in Democratic national polls. How about postponing the coronation until he at least does that. The Most recent National Polling shows Clinton ahead by 2 to 8 points.
...for some reason I thought 18 - 35 year olds were adults……..I suppose us “kids” should sit out the political process, as my parent’s generation has done such a bang up job.
Maybe if we are lucky you guys might even leave us some social security money......ah, who am I kidding? we are never going to see any. -- jamiso
What a fukkin magic number - under 35 and you are not responsible for anything that has occured in the last 15 years, over 36 and it's all your fault. Tremendous maturity there. Let me show my maturity - up yours. Also fukkin stop depending on the RNC talking points (aka social security is dead), maybe the "yes we can" generation can come up with some original talking points.
The difference is: Hillary and Obama both made speeches making judgement calls. Obama's judgement was right, Hillary's judgement was wrong. -- Person
I made a judgement call in the super bowl and I was right. I am going right down to NY and applying for the Giants coaching job.
Notorious WES says:"Obama has won a bunch of mickey mouse caucuses representing just a tiny percentage of the electorate."
And I say: Denial....not just a river in Egypt. -- Xrandadu Hutman
WES states an opinion based on facts (caucuses do represent a tiny percentage of the electorate, caucuses do not vote in the general election, and WES is reasonable in thinking that micky mouse), Hutman denies it, then accuses WES of denial. No matter how many time Obama votes in support of the War, Obamites go into denial and then accuse Clinton supporters of going into denial.
We do indeed live in "ironious" times.
And maloderous.
