Greasing the Super-Ds

The Golden boy is untouchable in teh primary. The main stream media will not give this story any airtime, nor investigate further. I'm so sick of the BLATANT endorsement of Obama by the media. Go ahead and support Obama. I'll send you a postcard from Canada after McCain and the GOP machine EATS HIM ALIVE!

In all honesty, it looks like the "journalist" associated with this story - among many others - is the villain here for taking a "Let's you and him fight" position to get a little attention.
Either this guy has zero investigative skills, or he's happy to profit from the intentional distortion of a common practice, or both.

OK, so Who/what is the Straight Talk America PAC pursuing? "Very intriguing indeed," she added snarkly.

From your own "here" link: Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, whose endorsement of Obama was highly publicized, received more from Clinton than from the Illinois senator--$10,000 compared to $4,200.
Obama also gave to Hillary Clinton's senate campaign.
Are you seriously suggesting that either candidate anticipated this super-delegate debacle 3 years ago? Take a look at the 2006 list of Hope Fund Recipients and then seriously try to tell us it was all a calculated attempt to sway super-delegates.

This is the DUMBEST thing ive ever read.

I was expecting to read that just recently they both were giving money to these people...which is apparently not the same as giving money to people who werent even super delegates, and giving them money at the time of their relection to HELP them get relected (as in beating republicans).

Seems Obama is more concerned about the party as a whole by his donations, where as one might conclude that Clinton is only concerned about herself, for the most part).
Spin is easy to do folks...

of course it could also mean that Obama is psychic and KNEW he'd need these super delegates to vote from him EVEN if Clinton was crushing him...and if thats the case, dont we want a psychic in office? He could let us know when the next terrorist attack is coming.

OK, Jack Trapper is diligent. Now where are his articles on the corporate lobbists and all of the candidates ties to these corporate giants and subsequent legislation?

seems as if Obama and Clinton's help of other politicians to get elected has been 'spun' to sound like they are trying to buy off superdelegates. The timelines don't seem to support the headline. Hmmmm.

You seem to have buried the lead. The big story here is that Obama gave the superdelegates hundreds of thousands more than Clinton. If it had been the reverse I have no doubt the headline would have been "Clinton Trying to Buy the Superdelegates." Curious.

Of course Obama is the major giver. He has been very generous in funding other Democrats running for office, as well as making campaign appearances for them and doing major fund raising for them. He has the their better interests at heart and wants to see as many Democrats as possible elected.

Not like Hillary who spent an obscene $40 million on her incumbent senate run and transferred $10 into her own presidential coffers. She's looking out for herself. Obama's looking out for the party.

Another non-story. Obama's Hopefund was created to support and nurture progressive Democratic candidates, including giving campaign funds. The Republicans do the same thing. It's called politics.

Considering Obama even gave $4200 to Hillary's Senate campaign, what's the big deal? (This is from the supporting article linked in the More HERE link above.) Obama was one of the major fundraisers in the Democratic party who shared his funds with other Dem. candidates. It's a common practice to distribute wealth to other party members.

This won't be in any of the papers or many neews shows,Obama can do no wrong.

You fail to mention the fact that the people Obama donated to were NOT superdelegates when they received the assistance for their campaigns. You also fail to mention that Clinton gave herself a $10 million donation from her Senate coffers. If anything, it shows how greedy Clinton is, and how Obama has earned his support, by giving his support to his colleagues.

I'd like to add a clarification to my post. The Democrats really worked to take back Congress from 2003 to 2006. I really don't see how it can be garnered that this was a somehow not in the people's interest.

Obama is buying the votes. Is that what he wants to change? So fluffy. Contempt on Obama!

Oh my God, someone actually has said something negative about the golden boy.....I thought he didn't believe in PAC money.....just his own I guess.

It's *their* party, DanileK. Presumably, they can do anything they want!

"Re-vote FL and MI outright, or award their delegates proportionally after the primary season ends, based upon the respective performances of Clinton and Obama."

Good idea, but can they do that?
