Clinton's super delegate problem

[gabeana]

"If Clinton's not winning over caucus activists, why should we believe she'll win over a large enough chunk of superdelegates to overcome Obama's pledged delegate lead?"

"The Clinton campaign was even robo calling Obama delegates, and had kept a paid campaign organizer in the state working the conventions. Now there's nothing wrong with those efforts, they're all within the rules of the game. But here's the thing --

None of it worked.

Obama picked up all the Edwards defectors and added another delegate at Clinton's expense. So not only did the Clinton campaign completely whiff in its efforts to switch delegates to their side, but they lost some of their own.

And somehow, her campaign thinks they can pull the supers to their side?

That's why the Clinton campaign, at this point, is nothing more than a charade

1. Let's not forget, 7 have left her since 2/5. She is actually going in the wrong direction with SDs

[MaraJade]

2. She may be losing SD's but.. . .

she still has millions of regular folks backing her. It's THESE people that OBAMA needs to fear.
If Hillary is not the nominee, millions of folks will not support Obama. That means that he can
win the nomination and still lose the election.

3. The same could be said for Hillary

[quantass]

4. And lest we forget Obama has even MORE people backing him than Hillary ...

dont forget, she is LOSING bad! I think when her train wreck inevitably bows out the democratic party will come together...i find it highly doubtful that millions of original Hillary supporters will not support our nominee...they just need time to cry in their pillow to wake up the following day and realize the bigger picture and how awesome Obama really is,

5. What the fuck is this? Mutually assured destruction?

Idiot meet moran. Threatening to withhold votes if your candidate doesn't win it infantile at best.

6. Fear goes both ways, it seems ...

"If MY democrat doesn't win, I'm voting for the REPUBLICAN."

"If MY democrat doesn't win, I'm NOT VOTING."

That'll sure convince those superdelegates. Or even convince the 85% of the people that have already voted.

It's a temper tantrum put on display by a two-year-old, while the issues are being ignored. Would you still vote for a Republican or not vote at all if 100 years of war are at stake?

7. When I watched the Republican debate

I came to the realization I could never vote for a republican,
So if my #2 candidate doesn't go(#1 was Edwards) then of course I'll go with our nominee
the choice is easy once you listen to McCain, However, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy voting in Nov.

8. Would YOU vote for Joe Lieberman???

I'll vote for a democrat, but not someone who simply has a "D" after their name.

One of the candidates is no longer a democrat.

10. I wouldn't vote for Joe Lieberman

I already voted for a Democrat ... Senator Obama. And I intend on voting for a Democrat in the fall, whichever Democrat is chosen. (hint: it'll be Senator Obama)
