What will you do if the Super-delegates pick Hillary at the convention?

[seriousstan]

What if Florida and Michigan delegates are seated at the convention and Hillary wins?

####Sorry for shoving 2 questions in 1 post but the 3 post rule is in play.

[shadowknows69]

1. After holding my nose to vote for her

I will then change my affiliation to Independent.

[Perry Logan]

23. You have my permission to leave the party immediately. I'll show you the door.

This will save wear and tear on your little nose.

[shadowknows69]

33. Always the gentleman

[tekisui]

2. I don't think either will happen.

I would think that it sucks for democracy and the Democratic Party and th country. I would vote for her.

John Dubya McSame would be the President in 2009.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

3. Laugh my ass off at the cesspool swimming haters around here

And be quite surprised, also

[yardwork]

4. Vote for her.

[AtomicKitten]

5. The Democratic Party would implode if it is settled that way.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Which is why it's NEVER gonna happen.

[kimmerspixelated]

15. You know what I think?

I think there would be a coupla days of "Gadzooks! And Damn it all to hells!!!" and then I think we'd all just roll over and play dead. Really, we'd go ahead and vote for HC because- frankly by the time Nov. rolls around, my God we're going to be completely mind-numbingly bored out of our skulls don't you think..? I mean- it all started way to early. We'll all vote for the Hill if we have to.... When we consider the McPAIN option- we will quickly learn to love her!

[AtomicKitten]

18. hard to imagine right now but I accept that prediction as a possibility

I think it would be very, very bad for the party, though, to reward her for that and her vote on the IWR, etc. I don't think there is any opposition to the notion that Obama is what drives the massive turn-out and that many people who may have supported the Dem candidate will just stay home if HRC is offered as the nominee. Hopefully we won't have to test that theory.

[kimmerspixelated]

21. I'm with ya!

[BringBigDogBack]

39. you got it.

[Vinca]

6. If the superdelegates vote the opposite of the elected delegates

and virtually nullify the votes of the people, I'm going off to look for the Independent Underground. Michigan and Florida won't be seated based on the contests they already had and if they hold new ones, Obama will pick up a good chunk of delegates and will still be ahead.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. Good riddance

[joeybee12]

53. Yeah, I mean BO has such a HUGE lead...you act is if the whole world is

for him and against BHilary.

[RoadRage]

7. Sit at home and play WII in November

with all of my other Dem friends who also won't be voting for her.

If she wins "fairly".. ie, re-do in MI & FL and wins that way, or figures out a way to win by 70% in every one of the next 12 contests in order to overcome Obama's delegate lead.. then i'll hold my nose & vote.

If she wins it the Clintonian way.. ie cheating, stealing, backroom dealing.. then I won't vote for her. Yup.. i'm throwing away SCOTUS nominees, i'm threatening a good health care program, but i'm also standing up for VALUES and MORALITY in this friggin country and in politics.. and I actually think at this point that is more important.

How the HELL do we say we're any better then the creepy republicans if we allow this kind of shit to happen within our own party? Well, I personally won't vote for it.

She wins fair & square - I vote. She wins by cheating, I don't.

[Andy823]

25. I agree with you

If she can't win it fair, but has to resort to dirty tactics like she wants, then I don't vote. If she wins fair, then like you, I hold my nose, and vote!

Right now I have lost all respect for her. If she stops this right wing crap, and gets back to the issues, and how she will change things instead of attacking Obama to keep the heat off her, then I may change my mind, but if not, she doesn't belong in the whitehouse anymore than McCain!

[goclark]

57. That is how I feel about it ~ won't get my time or my dime

to get e;ected.

I will do nothing.

Now I am off to make a donation to Barack Obama.

[NightOwwl]

63. My sentiments exactly.

Thank you for stating just what I was thinking so much better than I could have.

ETA: Her tactics are going to backfire. I just donated to Obama's campaign for the first time; I suspect I am only one of many who will part with hard-earned cash in order to keep this closet Repug out of the White House.

[NEDem]

66. Same here,

If it's fair I'm there, if not, I'm not.

[Crabby Appleton]

8. Vote for her in the GE nt

[CoffeeCat]

9. Those things won't happen...

The Supers are all ready breaking for Obama. They're not going to do it in bulk. Slowly,
1-3 each day are breaking for Obama. It's happening.

Also, Fla and MI won't be seated 'as is.' There's no way. There might be a re-vote---and that
is fine.

[nsd]

11. It depends on how she wins.

I'm an Obama supporter, but even now -- despite her behavior these past two weeks -- I'm willing to vote for Clinton in November if she wins the nomination fair and square. By that I mean the DNC agrees to re-votes in Michigan and Florida, she wins those, and that gives her the pledged delegate lead. It's not a likely scenario, but it's still possible.

But if she wins by breaking the rules -- i.e., getting Michigan and Florida seated according to the January votes -- or by convincing party insiders to give it to her despite the pledged delegate totals, then I really wouldn't be able to bring myself to vote for her. I'm a loyal Democrat, but that would just be too much. I'd leave that part of the ballot blank.

[RoadRage]

27. Cheers! My post mirrors your almost exactly!

She wins fair & square, I vote.. she decides to cheat, I don't!

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. I will vote for whomever we nominate

.. and I hope to be in DC for the Innagural.

[skipos]

13. 1. If she has the most pledged delegates, I will have no problem with it. nt

2. As long as valid elections are held, I will be fine with it.

I am not cool with...
Telling me the election won't count
Having the election
Then deciding the election counts
... and I don't care which candidate it benefits.

[SKKY]

16. I will vote for her in the GE and send her the money I have saved for the Democratic candidate...

...if it gets to that, I think she'll probably need both in a bad way.

[msallied]

17. In knowing what would have to happen to make such a scenario possible

I'd vote third party just to spite a Democratic Party that had clearly lost its mind.

[Auntie Bush]

19. After pulling the corners of my mouth down io a broad smile... I'd jump up to the ceiling

(and we have cathedral ceilings)and then do it all over again :hop: :hop:
That would be my reaction and that would be mild as to the way I was feeling! :) :) :)

[hell-bent]

20. I will vote for Hillary Clinton

in a New York minute,eh.

[Perry Logan]

22. Rejoice. It will clear the Clinton-haters from the party in one fell swoop.

[bunnies]

31. yep. Purging a huge chunk of the Democratic party is a really good idea.

She's sure to win if that happens. :thumbsup:

edit: sp

[hell-bent]

35. Well, they can

now for for Ralphie! "We don't need no stinking caucuses!" :>)

[Arkansas Granny]

24. I will vote for her in the GE.

[RamboLiberal]

26. I will go to the poll and vote for every Democrat except Hillary

Sometimes the party deserves to get a message from the voters!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. I'd Agree With Their Decision And Be Excited As Hell, Since Obama Would Also Be The VP.

Dream ticket here we come!

[Levgreee]

32. Wow, are you serious? And you were claiming you weren't a troll earlier..and are intelligent

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

38. Not A Claim, But A Fact.

Furthermore, if the SD's decided such a thing, it would undoubtedly in my opinion be for the right reasons, so I trust that. But I think part of any deal like that would involve Obama also being the VP, so in the end we'd end up with a dream ticket and guaranteed victory in November. And yeah, I'd find that to be absolutely exciting!

[11 Bravo]

29. Vote for her in the General Election.

That was easy.

:shrug:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Hopefully, wake up from that bad dream.

[cottonseed]

34. Start getting in shape. Ready myself for the draft.

The Iran adventure will need fresh troops.

[Beregond2]

36. The End.

For me, that will be the end. I already have my exit plan in place. I will be leaving America for good. But I don't think it will happen. The SDs aren't stupid. They know it would mean the end of the Democratic Party, and by extension, the country.

[Carolina]

52. you must be reading my mind

I was thinking the very same thoughts!

Hillary is destructive every way you slice it.

[lmbradford]

37. I will leave the party forever.....

I will then move to a country that has a democracy where the voters choose their representatives and feel sorry for all of the wonderful people that had to stay in this fake democracy and pretend that they matter.


If the FL MI delegates choose it is the same thing. If they redo the votes and the actual people (pledged delegates) choose Hillary, I'll shut up and stay home. Then in four years, I'll work my ass of (again) trying to get a good candidate in office instead of the corporate candidate.

[Rageneau]

40. I'll buy the house a round!

[GumboYaYa]

41. Vote for a third party candidate and probably leave the democatic party forever.

[Exilednight]

45. This is the line I'm in. If the party fractures, I'm kind of curious to see if a new party rises.

[dysfunctional press]

42. actively work against her- the supreme court make-up be damned.

my wife is past child-bearing age, and we don't have any daughters(or sons), so the make-up of the supreme court won't have much affect on the control of our our bodies.

[democrattotheend]

43. I'd vote for her, but wouldn't donate

And I would be uncomfortable being involved with any GOTV efforts in the black community. If they stayed home I would not blame them.

I probably won't donate to her anyway if she gets the nomination, but I will vote for her and probably volunteer in Virginia.

[against all enemies]

44. I would let the Super-Delagates elect her President, they're so smart.

[sloppyjoe25s]

46. Ignore Politics & Get Ready for Prez McCain

Not much point in anything but getting ready for John McCain to beat her. Would be hard to watch, but quite likely.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

47. Put my vacation trip to the US on hold for atleast another 4 years i guess n/t

[Carolina]

48. revolt!

[David Zephyr]

49. It will be a shipwreck because it will be theft.

Everyone knows what will happen if the Clintons try to steal what they lost. The convention will become a disaster to the Republicans glee.

[boston bean]

50. REJOICE!

[End Of The Road]

51. CHEER til the cows come home. nt

[Carolina]

54. your screen name is appropriate

HRC as nominee by hook or crook is truly the end of the road for the Democratic Party

[totodeinhere]

55. What will you do if the Super-delegates pick Barack at the convention?

[BringBigDogBack]

56. Assuming Obama has the lead going in,

then I would gracefully bow out.

And I don't know when, if ever, I'd be able to vote for a democratic candidate again.

[tokenlib]

58. If SD's help Hillary rob Barack, I'll join the implosion....

...but I hope and trust the SD's are smarter than to light that fuse...

[Zynx]

59. If the plurality of Democratic voters nationwide have voted for her, I have no problem with it.

[cali]

60. vote for her and try to become resigned to President McCain

but I won't send her a contribution, and I'm pretty sure she'd lose under those circumstances.

[PresidentObama]

61. Campaign to make her President Hillary Rodham Clinton

[BluWtrLynn]

62. That seems likely to me.

Think of the Democratic Party as a poorly run business in a competitive market. The Super-delegates are the employees of the company. That is, they are those folks who work full time and get paid (either $$$ or in power). They have managed to get themselves a sweet contract where they have a big say on the board of directors. This is a wonderful hedge against the sort of change that will lose them their positions. They take care of a customer when that customer is in their face, but largely think of the company as working for their benefit. In the corporate world, this is an entitlement culture. It is a recipe for decline and mediocrity. If you don’t think it dominates today’s Democratic Party just suggest term limits or real reform measures to your local platform committee. Just look at how our flaccid Congress spends it’s time.

The Super-delegates will support Hillary because she is perceived as the candidate of keeping them on the gravy train. The new constituency drawn by Barrack will be squandered to keep business-as-usual. This is nothing new. This is why the party whose espoused ideals are representative of the vast majority of Americans could only win three presidential elections in the last 40 years. Hillary will get the nomination from the super-delegates and get my reluctant vote. McCain will win. The most political and corrupt DOJ in history has been working on her files for eight years, folks. I would not be surprised if she were indicted before November.

I won’t be taking my ball and going home, because third parties are not viable in this country. (If the likes of Dennis and Howard were to give it a try, I’d go along for the ride, though). The only way to have a party that represents what I think is the American ideal, is to fire the hacks, one by one, in local elections. This will take years, but it is the good fight. At least we will have President McCain to remind us why it is a necessity and we will have their stand at the 08 convention to identify them.

[jbm]

64. Be thankful that we have wise people in the super delegate position..n/t

.

[emilyg]

65. Smile.

[GoldieAZ49]

67. wonder how they can call themselves democrats

regardless of who the super delegates select as the nominee


Talk about the selected candidate

[ileus]

68. They know best who's right for the party...accept it.
