Josh points to Mark Penn: Clinton is ultimately responsible for putting her political fate in this fool’s hands. But this is a guy who has basically one big political win under his belt and whose record in seriously contested races, particularly Democratic primary races is one of almost constant defeats. Much of Clinton’s current predicament […]
It looks like Clinton is losing some previously pledged super delegates. Another interesting thing to point out in the super delegate race is how much these people get paid by candidates.
No big surprise there. This should put McCain past the threshold if all delegates follow along.
While supporting the thought of super delegates swaying the vote to Hillary: Don’t change the rules in the middle of the game – or, more accurately, don’t game the rules to change the outcome. Interesting idea. So why is it that Hillary is doing this exact thing when it comes to Michigan and Florida? Also […]
Currently Obama is ahead by 125 pledged delegates. The Clinton campaign is hoping to end the primary season only behind by 30 delegates. As near as I can tell that is going to be extremely hard to achieve. Going through numerous scenarios they might end up down 75-100 pledged delegates, but I wouldn’t be surprised […]

Their goal is now to end up maybe 25-30 pledged delegates behind Obama, after the primary season has ended, and win the super delegates over. Fineman also said that is a pipe dream to come […]
Bet you didn’t even know about them. I got to give it to Obama – he has really tapped into the power of the internet. It’s cool to see someone running for President that appreciates the technology. Hell it would be great to have a President that reads the newspaper.
The TNR has published an editorial today titled “Stop Thief“, taking on the Clintons and their attempts to seat the delegates in Florida and Michigan. It is worth a read, especially when you consider the TNR has not endorsed any candidates.
Clinton has lead with party insiders Should the voters decide who becomes the nominee or “party insiders”? This is the exact reason the super delegates have been under fire since the beginning. The DNC needs to look at getting rid of them and letting the people decide. This is a democracy – isn’t it?
It’s looking more and more like Obama could come out the winner in pledged delegates. With every victory we get closer to needing an answer on the super delegate question. Rachel Maddow said last night that if Obama wins the pledged delegates and the Super Delegates give it to Hillary then there will “be torches […]
