Barack Obama: 38 delegates

[LoZoccolo]

Hillary Clinton: 36 delegates, lol

All Obama and Edwards supporters should big up this thread with reccomendations so that we can soar even higher than the can't stand Obama thread!

1. Super delegates tell a different story.

[LoZoccolo]

3. You sound like you are proud of that. n/t

[NJSecularist]

5. I am not proud of that.

I am just stating facts. I am neither a Hillary supporter or a Obama supporter at this time.

[BeFree]

21. Pray tell us

How many supers are there?

[iconoclastic cat]

4. But aren't they a bit fickle?

I read that they can switch on a dime, with no real rationale or anything. Weird freakin' system we have here.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. Yes, because Super delegates are the ultimate political animals

They always wait for the writing on the wall, even though there is HUGE pressure from inside the beltway to go with Hillary.

Most of them have seen firsthand what happens if you piss off the progressives ( See Lieberman, et al) and they prefer not to spend their fat campaign funds ( which double as retirement funds) on primary wars. Not all of them are officeholders, but many are networkers at the top level who need to stay on the winning side of things. I've got a lot of these folks on speed dial as a party operative myself.

OTOH, Bill Clinton will definitely call you if you're on the fence. That would be cool no matter who you support.

2. How many delegates are awarded on Feb 5th? n/t

[tekisui]

6. 2075

including supers from those states.

[Tom Rinaldo]

16. Thanks. I thought the number was large

So the OP is kind of the functional equivalent of getting excited about being ahead by less than 3% in the returns for a single primary, with less than 2% of the districts reporting.

7. Uh, you better wait until those delegates are actually assigned in a few weeks or months.

While you are waiting, read up on the different state political party rules for assigning delegates before the convention.

8. How many threads did you have locked yesterday

LoZoccolo?

I lost track.

[LoZoccolo]

9. None. n/t

[ClericJohnPreston]

10. You're that guy

Who wrote that Edwards and his fans, like me, have some super secret "BIG UP" machine, and that is why Edwards threads are always on the front page.

Man, you are one weird dude.

Psst....we Edwards supporters are having our monthly "BIG UP" meeting tonight at "you know where" if you'ld like to sit in.....sshhhh, don't tell anyone else
:rofl:

[LoZoccolo]

13. Go ask Skinner, there are such things.

When the recommendation system was first set up, he found that there was a secret Clark message board that was engaged in bigging up threads.

[cboy4]

11. Oh okay.

[LoZoccolo]

14. You have a star, go find them if you want to call me Pinnochio. n/t

[cboy4]

22. It would take me too long to cut and paste all of them

But here's just one

[LoZoccolo]

23. That is probably the only one.

For some reason it didn't show up in my "My DU" list, so I missed it, but still that is probably the only one.

[HughMoran]

12. Only 1987 more needed!!!11!!!

:woohoo:

[jackson_dem]

17. You need over 2,000 on the Democratic side. You must be thinking about the GOP side

;)

[HughMoran]

18. oops

Thanks :D

I fixed it - slipped a digit :D

[Omega3]

19. Obama supports are showing themselves to be very immature

[bookman]
