2. Actually, I have yet to see an endorsement mean anything
for either side. This is just political maneuvering on Richardson's part and rightly so. They all do it.

11. This one means it's OK for long time Clinton supporters to back Barack for the good of the party.
Richardson just did it and they all can do it.

7. Well he counts as a superdelegate.
But then again, Clinton supporters keep forgetting to count delegates.

8. Penn/Wolfson/Clinton's new strategy?
"Insult 40 Superdelegates."

19. At this point, I truly believe they do not care.
Clinton has no possible path to the nomination that wouldn't involve party anarchy and resulting chaos.

So, at this point, I think they're just trying to piss everyone off. They feel like they've been crossed by people like Richardson, and even though that ol' "do not cross the Clintons" magic has worn off, they just go to the old playbook out of habit.

They're not running a campaign anymore. They're running a "cover your ass and blame everyone" Oppo-Shop.

9. Yeah, Yeah
And only big states count, and only super delegates count and so on and so forth. The only one who seemingly can't count, the numbers, is Penn.

12. Democrats should reject Clinton solely by who she surrounds herself with-Penn
is not working in the Democratic Party's best interest.

Has there ever been a more grotesque image of a "fat-cat"?

17. Hahahahaha! No shit, Hillary will play spoiler and blame it on everyone else.
She won't take responsibility for her own votes in the Senate - like voting for the Iraq War.

What a fool!

I think I've got it straight now.
