Most superdelegates in Congress privately back Obama

[not_too_L8]

"Capitol Hill insiders say the battle for congressional superdelegates is over, and one Senate supporter of Barack Obama is hinting strongly that he has prevailed over Hillary Rodham Clinton," Politico's Amie Parnes and Josephine Hearn report Wednesday. "While more than 80 Democrats in the House and Senate have yet to state their preferences in the race for the Democratic nomination, sources said Tuesday that most of them have already made up their minds and have told the campaigns where they stand."

1. HAHA secret super delegates... will the funneh never end!

[JackORoses]

5. June 3. That's when you and all the other Hillarites either board the Obama Train or get left behind

Chooo! Choooooooo!

[Cheap_Trick]

22. or get thrown under the train n/t

[JackORoses]

24. Blood on the Tracks is a damn good album

in fact it has a song which applies directly to Lil' Hilly

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin' south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

15. grab a cl;ue, genius

he's been rolling them out steadily. And expect him to keep doing it.

[PBS Poll-435]

18. So...

Obama is extending this contest when most of his supporters want it ended?

Obama could pull this switch on this today and start the GE tommorrow?

Nah...wishful thinking.

[cali]

19. hardly what I said.

I pointed out that true to their word, the Obama campaign has been rolling out endorsements they said they had. Do you really think he only found out last night that Representatives, Capp, Hill and Braley were on board? No, he's had them on tap for a while. And it's interesting to note that the elected SDs are going for Obama. Both of Clinton's SD endorsements today came from unelected SDs.

2. And they can change their minds anytime

[thewiseguy]

7. Thats not what the article says but thanks for the spin.

[JackORoses]

9. that's all you have left? "but,but they might change their minds, or get hit by an asteroid!!"

Better Luck next time.

[lisa58]

3. That doesn't surprise me...

...Hillary is a known quantity - if you wanted Hillary, you're already there.

[DJ13]

4. the battle for congressional superdelegates is over

Read it again Hillary supporters.

Get it yet?

:rofl:

[SeaLyons]

6. Coming from McCaskill, this really has no

credence.

[DJ13]

8. You're right, You know better than she does, Im sure

:rofl:

[blm]

10. Well, McClatchy surveyed the supers after Super Tuesday and supers OVERWHELMINGLY

were in Obama's column.

People expected Clintons to bow out gracefully since they have known about the McClatchy survey since shortly after Super Tuesday. They refuse to do so. THIS is why you'll be seeing more and more declaring for Obama PUBLICLY, whether it bothers Clintons or not.

[SeaLyons]

11. I think we should not lose sight of what the SD's are for....

making sure we have an electable candidate. That's probably why they are waiting. I'm sure it has nothing to do with "bothering" the Clintons.

[thewiseguy]

12. Then why are they going Obama's way as of late? Because he is more electable?

[SeaLyons]

13. I don't know...maybe for the same reason some have

gone Hillary's way of late.

[cali]

17. bzzzt. Obama is garnering far more SDs than Clinton, dear.

There's obviously something about her the SDs are less than thrilled with. He's received many, many more SD endorsements than hilly over the last 3 months. And it's continuing. He got more than hilly yesterday and got more than hilly today.

[thewiseguy]

20. not nearly close to the number of superdelegates who have gone Obama's way

[scheming daemons]

25. Since PA.... the score is Obama 10, Hillary 6..... you're wrong

[IronLionZion]

27. Who exactly? DNC party members?

:rofl: Hillarity is watching Hillary supporters spin pure bullshit.

[blm]

16. Clintons have been on top of supers like white on rice. They already FIND HRC unelectable

and a downer for many of THEIR RACES when she is at the top of the ticket.

You act as if they haven't conducted their own research and focus groups for their own candidacies.

Clintons have KNOWN it's over for two months. This all about Hillary2012, and those standing by her are only helping to assure that happens.

[SeaLyons]

23. you got proof....do you have a link or something

that proves what you are saying.

[blm]

26. Proof of what? That supers are with Obama? I made the McClatchy survey post in early MARCH.

My spouse works in the newsroom. I know what part of the story that was edited out because Clintonites went batshit saying they were working on the supers and that more would be coming out about Obama that would force him out of the race - - so guess what - IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

[MadBadger]

14. If you look at who has come out today, Obama got three members of Congress

Hillary got two unelected members.

[apocalypsehow]

21. Of course they do - they're in a position to see who offers true leadership day after day.

And it ain't HRC.
