Obama's Counter: Superdelegates

Endorements are fine but what really matters is the public's vote. Again, when will Florida and Michigan be allowed to have their votes counted. These states are part of our great nation and these citizens deserve to have their votes counted. We have many freedoms in this wonderful country and one of those freedoms is 'voting.' DNC and Howard Dean, please allow the citizens of these states the opportunity and the freedom to vote their chosen candidate.

The superdelegates are not reading the writing on the wall. Obama can not win the Whitehouse. If Obama is the nominee a good portion of Hillary supporters will go for McCain. It is a fact, superdelegates! Obama does have what is take to hold the "Highest Office in Our Land."

Vote Hillary or Vote McCain

Dear PA:

Thank you so much for that great 10 point win!! You really came out and sent a message to the world. Thank you so much!! xoxoxoxo

You proved it: Hillary wins the big blue democratic states and Obama mainly wins the red republican states that would go to McCain in general. Clearly, Hillary is the solid choice for dem nom. She got the blue collar, the white men, and the white women votes yesterday.

So happy. :)

I'm so glad that superdelegates can change their minds any time they want! Even go back on their endorsements! Yay!

I wonder if anything else will come out about Obama that would knock him right out of this race?

hmm.

For all Hillary supporters asking to have FL and MI counted answer these questions for me.

Did those states democratic big-wig agree on a date that was after Feb. 5?

Did those same guys then turn around and change the date? Isn't that a violation of the party's rules?

Did the party tell them if you do, you're going to play with your electorates' vote because they will not be counted?

Did those states' democrate have they way?

If you can answer "yes" to these questions then why is the party to blame?

Why aren't these voters angree enough to take that frustration out on those elected party wigs in their state legislature and vote all of them out? If you democrates can direct your anger in the right direction it would make a HUGE difference. Just vote all of those bozos out of office, it would teach them a lesson

How can anyone think that we should "vote Hillary or vote McCain" ARE YOU NUTS? McCain is just another Bush, do you think our country can survive another 4 years? BOTH our candidates have similar values. WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WHOMEVER IT IS!

It is sad that individuals vote for someone because they can guzzle shots with them and they're white, rather than black. The blue collar, white men should be ashamed of themselves for falling for Hillary and her lies. No one can accomplish all that is promised instantly. She has lied, gone back on promises and flip flopped. She has also run a negative attack campaign. Shame on the press for switching and babying Hillary.

It's a 10pt lead, David.

Your numbers 1237696 to 1043174.
CNN numbers 1258245 to 1042297.

What's up with the discrepency?

It is really sad that people are characterising Obama as a racist. I don't know why people always take the low road..They said Martin Luther King was a communist...And they crucified Jesus. It seems that whenever the message is milder ie: non-violence, Christianity, Hope and Change people are just not comfortable with a message that GOOD! They want to see a pit bull tearing at another person..We are too sensationalist..stop it and think about the future if not for us for our kids. Our kids don't see us as divided as some adults do. Pray and get better..Be Better..Don't stay sick!!

Thank you so much PA!! We had faith in you, and you delivered for us. You have voiced everyone's buyers' remorse...thanks from the mid-west.

The bottom line is...Can Hillary beat John McCain if she steals the nomination from Sen Obama? the answer is without a doubt NO!
The negative campaign she's run chalked full of lies has split the democratic party and I WILL NOT vote for another lying, cheating Clinton.

By convention time so many negative facts about both Hillary and Obama will have piled up that it will be obvious that niether are fit to serve or electable. In an emergency session the Superdelegates will embrace their responsibility to protect the party and will nominate Al Gore, He will accept and easily win in November.

Endorements are fine but what really matters is the public's vote. Again, when will Florida and Michigan be allowed to have their votes counted.

I am from Tampa, Fla and was wondering why Hillary was not fighting for our votes last year when she thought she would easily blow through this democratic race. On the contrary, she's recorded on the radio as saying that she already knows that the votes in Michigan and Florida don't count. Didn't seem liked she cared about our votes then. So why now? Why does it take for her to be down tremendously to start caring? If she was ahead big would she care? I'm curious. Just asking a question.

The people of the America and the rest of the world owe the voters of Pennsylvania their thanks and admiration. Thank you. I hope so one will forget what you have done for our country.

Now maybe all the states and all who wish to vote in this election will get to do so. I hope this sends a clear message to all who wants this race over now.

Why do they wish every American not to get to vote?
Is this not the way for a democracy to work, everyone gets to vote, and not just the ones who voted before them?

Hillary for President! It's time.

I was under the impression that the majority of blacks wasn't voting for Obama because he is "black". If that's the case why would one believe that whites are only voting for Clinton because she is "white". Oh by the way I always thought a lie was a lie. Yeah Clinton has lied but so has Obama. But I forgot "Precious" can do no wrong. And they wasn't lies just little kiddie fibs. Come on now.

The big state argument misses a key component:

The spin suggests that Clinton's victories in big states will translate into a universal defection to the republicans, if she does not get the nomination. It sounds pretty for Clinton supporters and gives the illusion that she is far more competitive than she really is. It is an argument designed not for the Supers, who already know the math, but for the people, whose primary knowledge of the situation comes from headlines and 30 second sound bytes.

Even with the projected defections actually happening, that still leaves well over half of one camp's supporters staying Democrat in November. Both candidates are electable, given the numbers who vote overall. Either candidate is posting more than double in the Democratic Primaries than in the GOP contests. We ARE seeing a good portion of the vote for the general election.

Clinton has a budget deficit. She needs to continue and do well just to pay off her bills. Obama also needs to continue, if he hopes to maintain his record setting contributions and build a key element to the upcoming election . . . new and first time voters. The DNC needs this to carry through June for all of the above. Take states off the interest board, and you have no excuse to excite pocketbooks and registration.

The only pitfall to this will be negativity. I would urge both candidates to stop the bickering and mudslinging, lest they knee cap each other. Like it or not, they are in this together in the end, and if either one becomes unelectable, the other suffers equally as much. Campaigning like this is simply cutting your nose off to spite your face; neither can afford to lose the other's support, and neither will or CAN yield. To do so would be devastating for either demographic that votes based on their identity to either candidate.

Gutsy move on the dems part, but hopefully the powers that be won 't let this fall apart.

Congrats Hillary on a good win, but also keep in mind that if you stayed positive, it may have been by 20 points.

Condolences Barack on a herd fought loss, but keep in mind if you hadn't gone negative, it would have only been by 4 points.

I am so sick of the tone that the Clinton supporters have taken with this election, at the beginning I merely *preferred* Obama to Hillary and would have happily supported EITHER of them, but between her attack ads and the down right nastiness of her supporters and her campaign, its getting VERY close to the *I will NOT vote for her point*, which is a shame. No doubt someone will bash me and accuse me of some sort of prejudice, which is also sad..because I'm not.

You people in the media continue to move the goal post during the game. Just a few weeks ago it was she needs Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania in order to get the nomination. She got it. Now, it's meaningless. I don't buy the spin. We are talkin' electability. She is, he isn't. Bottom line. He racked up a agreat lead early on before the real questions, the tough questions were asked. It's not dirty politics to ask these questions. It's not racist to ask these questions either. Take a look at the exit polls. Take a look at the other polls when asked about defelcting Dems going Republican if the nominee isn't selected...for Clinton supporters, it's high. Less we forget Obama's remarks that he is sure he could get Clinton's votes, but isn't so sure if she could get his. Seems the will of the people are speaking. Convention wisdom is that once the nominee is chosen, that number will change and we will unite. Not likely. This isn't just Clinton supporters being "bitter" about our candidate, it is about his lack of sustance and his inability to bring together the core base of the party. He is not winning over Whites, Hispanics, Catholics, Women and the older generation. He seems weak and out of touch. I am one of those people he can not swoon. I will not sway. I voted for Hillary in Texas. I am Hispanic, Catholic, earn less than 50,000 a year. He didn't win me over. I am a registered Democrat who use to be in love with my party but not more in love than I am with my Country. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! John McCain would make a better President than Senator Obama. I will not vote Obama, not now, not in the General...

When will someone have the balls and guts (Joe Scarborough) to say "poor white folks" will never vote for a person of color. C'mon people just say it let's move on and get your heads out of your a****!!!

A comment after the Michigan and Florida elections was made by Obama then.

He complimented Hillary on winning.

And then he said, "I doesn't matter, they have no delegates."

This truly a mark of a man who cares nothing about people, only their votes and delegates.
