12. Not as far as I can see
Superdelegates are open to both sides and have been, if you can talk them into it go for it. Both sides do and have been open about it from the start, that's cool.

This is a case of going after State delegates which were the result of the elections, not quite the same thing and she had already denied doing it before and said she wouldn't. Superdelegates have always been open until the conventions but these ones were supposed to be connected to the results and we'd kinda agreed we'd leave it that way rather than poach.

If you can point to a case of Obama doing that too, then he's wrong too.

3. The Clintons LIE?
It would be far more newsworthy if they actually told the truth for a change.

7. Wouldn't it be funny if some of their own delegates switched?
I wonder how well their dissing of Richardson went in Texas.

14. Don't fret about Texas
The Obama campaign has been organizing and is ready for the senate/county conventions. Don't worry about poaching. And btw Clinton camp, the robocall thingy -- you need to drop it -- and not pay the asswipe who suggested that it was a good approach.
