damn, this got green lighted awfully quick.

This doesn't even count Joe Andrew, hand picked by Bill Clinton to lead the DNC in 1999, and who endorsed Hillary they day she announced her candidacy for President.

He is switching his endorsement today.

The Endgame has begun.

Nice photo, Barnacles!
Where'd you get that one?

I hope these new SD endorsements will encourage other fence sitters to go public with their support.

It's going to take a couple more big names to knock That Woman off her pedestal, but I think I hear footsteps...

Fat and Nasty 86: damn, this got green lighted awfully quick.

Good thing Obama didn't rescue wounded members of his unit from the mountains of Kandahar. That's an instant red light, apparently.

Maybe if you made it funny.....

Now why would Hillary clear her throat?

If you follow up and to the right just slightly from the top of Obama's head - doesn't that guy in the red jersey have a farking huge head?

The Onanist: Nice photo, Barnacles!

I am not sure. from an earlier greenlit thread in the politics section. :)

hahaha yeah!

I still think that this is how it will go down.

May 3: Guam. Delegates split 2-2
May 6: Either Obama Sweeps Indiana and North Carolina, or they Split.
May 7-12: 25-40 SuperDelegates endorse Obama
May 13: Clinton Wins West Virginia.
May 14-19: 10-20 SuperDelegates endorse Obama
May 20: Clinton Wins Kentucky, Obama wins Oregon
May 21-31: 20-40 Super Delegates Endorse Obama
June 1: Clinton Wins Puetro Rico, Obama is within 10-15 Delegates of the Nomination.
June 3: Obama wins Montana and South Dakota, and those pledged delegates seal him the Nomination.

This mean "the people" have chosen, with a little help from the Supers. This way, the Superdelegates did not make the final decision technically, and it was primary votes that won him the nod.

The remaining SD's endorse him in mass shortly thereafter.

So what do you guys think now - will the Hillster drop out on June 4th, or crawl determinedly to the convention in August to try and pull some shenanigans?

That's how I see it

She'll never drop out.

Yeah, that's probably what happens. At this point, the supers CAN'T end it gracefully, because she'll be biatching about how "Guam and Kentucky need to have a say!!1@", regardless of the fact that most of the states NEVER get a say in the primary process.

It's ALWAYS been OK, for Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to chose our leaders for us, but now we have to wait till Guam votes??

what_now: It's ALWAYS been OK, for Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to chose our leaders for us, but now we have to wait till Guam votes??

think about it this way though...

obama will be able to go into the general election and tout how the democratic party elected a nominee with the input of the entire united states, and paint mccain as having somehow disenfranchised half the country from the process.

with how rocky mccain's standing is with his base, i'd say it would probably hurt him a little to have that pointed out. just think of all the "yeah! what about ron paul!" or "we liked mitt romney more!" calls that could result.

But Iowa is a caucus and therefore evil.

Holy fark someone contact the media. DamnYankess and I agree on something.

I may have to reconsider my point.

Jon Steward to Obama: "Senator, do you think you could be taking the oath of office, and Hillary will still be running for the nomination?"

what_now: Jon Steward to Obama: "Senator, do you think you could be taking the oath of office, and Hillary will still be running for the nomination?"

What was his answer?

Obama should see a doctor. Drinking all those milkshakes can't be healthy.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: what_now: Jon Steward to Obama: "Senator, do you think you could be taking the oath of office, and Hillary will still be running for the nomination?"

He laughed and said, "maybe" or something like that. He's not gonna throw her under the bus on Comedy Central.

msygonist?

Known Fark Filters:

The proper phrase is "race baiting," subby.

Ain't that the truth. What's worse, the fanboys don't say anything new or compelling, they just badmouth Hillary and repeat what Jon Stewart said the previous night.

ring up 3 more from Illinois. ^{(^)}

Mayor Daly,House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger

Obama leads in total delegates, 1,731.5 to 1,598.5

Can someone help me out? How are there .5 delegates?

Inigo_Montoya: msygonist?

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that.

Chester the Snake: Ain't that the truth. What's worse, the fanboys don't say anything new or compelling, they just badmouth Hillary and repeat what Jon Stewart said the previous night.

Equally bad are the whiney biatches such as yourself that also don't say anything new or compelling. They just bad mouth Obama and piss and moan about all the Obama threads.

Looks at Chester

*Facepalm*

hahaha, nice one.

But really? I don't get it. Is this some mother's .5 of a kid?

ARE FETUSES GETTING THE VOTE NOW?!?!?

hehehe.

I think those come from Democrats Abroad. How and why they exist I have no idea though.

EVERYTHING is better with midgets.

SJH9: Obama leads in total delegates, 1,731.5 to 1,598.5

Democrats Abroad get 11 delegates, but they're sending 22. so 22 delegates / 11 votes = 0.5 votes per delegate

Chester the Snake: hat's worse, the fanboys don't say anything new or compelling

He picked up new super delegates. That's news, especially in the Politics tab. You could, you know, not open the thread if it annoys you.

I think the reason superdelegates have been trickling for Obama rather than coming out en masse is because Obama's streak ended in early March and because the party doesn't want to tick-off Hillary's stubborn base any more than they are now. If he takes NC and IN by 5+ point margins, then I think the trickling will turn into flood gates.

But I thought that all the broads were voting for Hillary?

Shrugging Atlas: Oh, OK. Thanks! :) This Canadian finds this election really cool for all the weird Democratic Party rules that are being brought into the spotlight.

Inigo_Montoya: hey, question for you....do you ever post on drewmarshall.ca? If not, it's just someone with the same handle, just curious.

Then he wouldn't have anything to snark about.

Duke_Phillips: What I don't get is that a good percentage of Hillary voters have said they'll vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. How exactly can one vote for McCain if they're Hillary supporters? Aren't they polar opposites policy-wise? Oh right, it's not about policy, my mistake

no, talking heads on the news networks say this. then they find people who will say it on tv.

I wonder if it was Doctor Clinton that Mr. Black overheard say If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college? Because it sure sounds like the logical basis for her campaign for POTUS.

SJH9: Can someone help me out? How are there .5 delegates?

Democrats Abroad, or one of the other tiny groups that has never ever mattered in a primary until now, has some weird rules such that their delegates only have 1/2 of a vote at the convention.

Ahhh, now I get it. Cool, thanks. :)

They are a big fan of one policy that they both share, namely "not being a negro."

Well, I've said I won't vote for Hillary if she's the nominee for about a year. But I also won't vote for McCain. These people probably feel the same way, but they're trying to make it SEEM like the party needs Hillary.

They're bitter and angry, because their candidate didn't win, but they aren't voting for a Republican- or at least one who isn't Hillary.

Look, by the beginning of June, this will be over, and when Bill Clinton introduces Obama on stage in August, everything will be fine.
