Sorry Folks, I just don’t get what the fuzz is all about! Really!!!
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 09:34 AM by demo dutch
I’m disappointed AGAIN, that we can’t come up with someone better than Obama and Clinton. Mind you it doesn’t really matter because the party with its super delegates will decide who is going to be the nominee instead of the voter anyway!
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-oe-spivak19jan19,0,6856334.story

I guess it's wishful thinking that we would actually come up with a super Candidate
Candidate who has the progressive passion of Kucinich
who has the communication skills & compassion of John Edwards
who can inspire people like Obama
who has the experience of Richardson
who speaks his mind like Biden
who has the name recognition of Hillary
who is as witty as, and do I dare say … Huckabee (Let’s face it neither Obama nor Hillary seem to have much of a sense of humor)
and I can go on.....

Meanwhile, the jury is out on who can really work across the aisle. So, don’t get me wrong, I’ll support the nominee because there are bigger issues at stake here like the direction of the courts and getting out of Iraq. But I'm just saying.... what a sham!

10. Are you joking with these spelling errors and all the exclamation points?
You're like a parody.

12. if you don't care for the choices, if you have other principles and qualities that
you admire, and expect from the Democratic Party, you are crying.

The OP is not a cry. You're whine is.

3. There has never been a single occasion
where the superdelegates gave the nomination to anybody other than the candidate that got the most votes.

4. The prediction is, by many, that's it's a real possibility.

6. Yes, it's a possibility
but since it's never happened before, thre's no reason to assume it will happen this year.

9. Yes
the article says they "may". They're explaining that it's possible to happen, which I readily admit.

But it's never happened before, and not likely to happen now.

13. But do votes in FL and Michigan count - or just rural delagates where Obama may get delagate lead?

14. we don't know yet
but I don't think it will be as close as some here believe. I think someone will jump out in front pretty noticeably next week.

16. My projection of state results - with Obama losing - has Obama near 1900 - it'll not take much to
reverse that.

15. "Witty as Huckabee"--I must be missing the wit there. And I'm not voting for Clown-In-Chief.

17. Well Obama actually does have all of that
Hillary has a good portion of it, if you can overlook the fact that the record doesn't match the rhetoric. Still, you have to have a heavy duty bag on your head to not see the ridiculousness of your statement.
