Sure they'll be seated... (none / 0)

...they just won't effect the outcome.  If they would change the outcome they wouldn't be seated.  Since the supers have been heavily breaking to Obama since the start of the primary season and he has an insurmountable pledged delegate lead...

The only question was whether it would be before or after the nominee is determined.  


McCain = Iraq. John McCain = overturn Roe.

Re: Sure they'll be seated... (none / 0)

Insurmountable delegate lead? If Florida and Michigan are counted, he's got a delegate lead of four - or something like that. And Democrats in blue states won't turn out to vote for Obama, if Clinton would have been the nominee if Florida and Michigan were counted.

The Democrats need Florida to win, and they need the blue states Clinton has won. Twice as many Clinton voters are telling pollsters they won't vote for Obama if he is the nominee, as Obama voters are telling them they won't vote for Clinton. Those Clinton voters are in blue states that Obama didn't win. If there's low turn out because Clinton supporters don't turn out, Obama won't win.

I don't know what you guys are thinking. Are you under the impression that Obama can engate in misogynist rhetoric against a deeply beloved Democratic party stalwart and have his campaign hurl racist accusation at two of the best allies African Americans have ever had in this nation, disenfranchise two large states and that you'll still be in good shape with the vast majority of the Democratic party? The refusal to vote for Obama may only shave a point or two off here and there, but those points will be in blue states he needs, and that may be enough for him to lose.

how many (none / 0)

times do we have to tell you folks.

Michigan can not be seated as it is now. Obama's name was not on the ballot.

Re: how many (none / 0)

He should have run a 50 state race like Hillary...

That will be the lesson he takes from his loss.

Re: erm... (none / 0)

Her name was on all 50 ballots Obama's only on 49.....

Guess which state will be counted and cost him the election?

Next time remember talk about a 50 state strategy is less than ACTION of having a 50 state campaign.

Re: Sure they'll be seated... (none / 0)

misogynist rhetoric

Excuse me?  What the hell are you talking about?  And Obama never said that the Clinton's were racist, never.  You can't just throw bullshit like this around and not think it's not going to stick to you or your candidate.  The out right lies is disgusting.

How many times do people have to remind Clinton supporters that the "disenfranchisement" of Florida and Michigan was decided unanimously by all the candidates prior to the first vote being cast in Iowa?
