4. And his endorsement trumps the others. But honestly , who gives a damn about these endorsements, on
either side? Are they supposed to influence my vote, or even the average voter? Do you think thre average voter even knows who they are?

down...

33. I understand the way the primaries work very well, thank you. It is the GE
I am concerned with, but perhaps you wouldn't understand that.

34. Because they do not have an electorate that will vote for Barack and the polls already indicate that

14. They do notice HRC trying to wine and dine them
Can tell you that for sure. I was at my county convention this past weekend and while in line for some food/drink I overheard one delegate joking with another about superdelegates vs delegates, with one saying: "I don't see anyone wanting to take ME out for dinner"

24. They're superdelegates. You know it, I know it, and so does everyone else.
Have some self-respect and quit with the pathetic misdirections.

37. Yes, of course, in sad, delusional little hillary world
the endorsement of 1 congressman trumps 5 Senators and 4 governors.

6. it doesn't matter ...
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 08:05 PM by JorgeTheGood
Obama can't take FL and can't take OH ... therefore he can't (won't) win the White House and that's all that matters. PERIOD.

13. well - like, uh ... logic maybe
Other than nearly all the polls telling me so (we still go by polls don't we?)

Both OH and FL are RED states

BO had his A$$ handed to him in OH by HRC and McCain will do the same

FL is full of seniors that will support McCain, plus the military, plus the Cubans, plus the other Hispanics in the mid state corridor

But the BIG point is this ...

THE GE IS NOT A CAUCUS ... LOL

30. Sure we go by polls, but polls in April do not = polls in November
Obama and Clinton are both statistically very close to McCain in Ohio and Pennsylvania and McCain has been getting a free ride in the media since he doesn't have to run against anyone at the moment. Ohio and Pennsylvania will once again become a dead heat once it's campaign season.

31. LOL! Repugs will be allowed to vote dem in the GE.
And he never even got to CAMPAIGN in FL. How can you say his numbers are accurate? Hillary wins there by simple NAME RECOGNITION and FAMILIARITY, just like everywhere else before Obama shows up.

You think Hillary can win Ohio now that we know she was a NAFTA supporter?

9. Go sit down, both of you (and I mean you, saracat)
and re-read what Dean just said about FL and MI today - they *WILL* seat the delegates - but not just yet.

I truly believe he endorsed Clinton as a payback to Pelosi.

16. Pelosi backtracked pretty quickly on HC getting out ...
once she realized that if BO is the nominee, there is a chance the dems lose the house and she loses her job ... it's almost worth it to see her get tossed.

21. That is a lie! She still says that the super delegates
should go with the winner of the pledged delegates. She still says that it would destroy the party to do otherwise. The only thing she did not do is call for her to drop out. And it was because of the fundraiser threat that was sent out by the fat cats not because of anything Barack did. I swear I see why DU Hill supporters like her. It is because they are just like her. Pathetic.

she doesn't tell the super delegates what to do ... geeesh ... I can't wait until she gets booted down to being a back-bencher.

26. Same here.
Pelosi has been a great disappointment.
Also, Murtha's endorsement is a very valuable one.

15. The race has been over since WI. The subsequent noise is courtesy..
.. of the MSM needing to sell ad space, and the whack-jobs on this board.

19. Chuck Todd said most likely that those that wanted to be for Clinton already came out for her.
He said the rest are probably holding back out of respect for Clinton but in the end will not go to her side.
