| If either Obama or Clinton had dominated the race, the Super Delegates would not matter one little lick. This is so silly, really. I keep hearing all of these Obama supporters talking about how Hillary can't win enough delegates to overtake Obama, and if the Super Delegates "give it to her" it will be tragic. Well Obama can't win enough delegates to overtake Clinton, either. Absent the Super Delegates, he ain't got enough to secure the nomination. Look at the math BOTH WAYS.
And I didn't hear anyone bitchin about Super Delegates when the idea was that Obama's momentum was so strong, they would swing his way and it would then be over. Obama wants the popular vote to matter, as long as he gets to insist that Florida and Michigan be excluded "because those were the rules from the beginning". Well, the Super Delegates were part of the same "beginning rules". It is what it is. This is what I say...if Obama wins, Obama wins. If Clinton wins, Clinton wins. Support whoever gets the nomination of the party, because their policy positions are almost identical.
If you hate Democrats, vote for McCain. If you hate Republicans and Democrats, vote for your Mother. My personal opinion is that the democrats screwed themselves with the proportional distribution of delegates, trying to erase the memory of Gore's loss to Bush. The general election is gonna be winner take all, if we had gone with that format in the primaries, it would be over now. Our stupid bad. But don't bitch if the Big Wigs do what the Big Wigs were empowered to do from the beginning if no one candidate was able to capture enough little "d" delegates to win outright. It is what it is.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
