Reid, Pelosi, Dean May Push Uncommitted Superdelegates to Decide No Later than July 1

Folks,

We don't have to guess what might happen in the general election. We have enough polling data to get a pretty good idea.

They take all available polling data (from all 50 states) and plot it on the electoral map. In a head to head comparison between a Clinton/McCain and Obama/McCain race, Clinton is more electible.

Clinton beats McCain 291 electoral votes to 236 with Indiana being too close to call. Obama edges McCain 264 to 263 but does not get the 270 electoral votes required to win. The election would be decided by Indiana which is currently statistically tied between Republicans and Democrats but almost always leans Republican.

Why take the chance when we know that Clinton can win? She is leading the popular vote if you count Michigan and Florida and she will likely be leading in the popular vote at the end of the primaries. That should be enough to give her the nomination since neither candidate can reach the magical number of pledged delegates.

Think about it, actually, it is Obama who created such destruction in Democratic party. If he waited for a few more years and cleared his barriers during that peirod, that would his ideal time to come out and no one could stop him. Then Democratic can take white house for 16 years. But right now, he is not experienced and popular enough to take Hillary or Rep out easily.

Get out of here democratic fat cats and let the race finish. Senator Clinton is going to win anyways.

EXPERIENCE - What kind of experience prepares one for the presidency? I don't think there is really any. Truman- who was in my opinion the best leader in recent history, was a high school graduate and had nothing in his background to make people confident in his abilities. But he had common sense, honesty, integrity, was pragmatic, knew how to listen to people and then make the decisions he had to make and then take responsibility for those decisions. Those are all the gifts I believe Obama possesses. Give him credit for putting together a great campaign - that takes leadership skills. Ask yourself why so many people who have worked closely with the Clintons are on Obama's team? If Hillary wins it will be a major defeat for the country.

David- I believe the reason Gore lost was because their was a backlash on Clinton. Think about it- economically things were good. The Democrats should have won easily. But emotionally and spiritually the country was drained from all the scandals, lies and one "gate" after another. Those feelings were expressed at the polls, against Gore. That is why I believe he lost - it had nothing to do with him, hanging chads or anything except people were sick of all the garbage and Bush seemed to be something the Clintons were not - ethical. I'm not saying that proved to be true but it was the perception at the time. That is why Hillary cannot win the nomination - this country can't go through all that garbage again. Too much at stake right now and too much work to be done.

IAM SO GLADE THEY ARE AT LEAST CONSIDERING SHUTTING THIS PRIMARY DOWN. WHO EVER HAS THE MOST DELAGATES AND OR POP VOTES AFTER THE SEASON SHOULD WIN .THE SDs VOTES SHOULD COME TO PUT THEM TO THAT NUMBER OR USE FL AND MI AS TIE BREAKERS.

DNC you screwed up the votes for FL & MI and now you're trying to stitch up the rest of the voting! People have a democratic right to vote!!! Even if Obama is buying Super Deligates!!! How much are you making?!
SHAME ON YOU DNC, SHAME ON YOU!!!

molly:
I live in Florida and you don't
know anything!
It was a state decision to move the
primary date up!
Both Republicans and Democrats voted
almost unanimously to move the date up!

Mccain just uses a simple word " Experience" to beat Obama in 08. Obama has very less EXPERIENCE for the white house. As a result, Mccain will win a big at this election in November.

Have waited patiently for the Democrats to do the best thing for our country during this long primary season.

We feel that the "dream team" is actually Edwards/Richardson (our original first choices)- candidates who appear to have the maturity and experience to lead our huge, diverse country with compassion and logic.

In an ideal world- the voters should have a chance to vote again for the BEST candidates, instead of watching and wasting time with the politics of negativity.

Oh, but this IS POLITICS, not the ideal world, so we can't say "none of the above." Or can we?

Dream Team "Edwards/Richardson 2008"

i am with you, average joe!
The party has self-destructed in the past few years. There use to be values that you knew the party stood for. There just were core values we all held. Now you actually need to ask, or investigate to see the latest stand, and then see if the party has moved at all in that direction. Reid and Pelosi have squandered the opportunity the party/country gave them when we voted them in office. They have done nothing. It is a sad commentary. I have been a loyal dem for 36 years, NEVER voted republican. I may well vote mccain this year, as I refuse to vote bho-a racist and unamerican citizen, unfit to represent this country, especially with a white hating non-patriot, wife--. I too, will probably leave the party and un-affiliated, since independent is usually considered a party, too.

I am sick of Reid, Pelosi and Dean. In all my years with this party, this is the most pathetic group of incompetents running the democratic primaries. You people are real close to losing me in this election and at times I wish I had not voted for some of you in '06. Time to go Independent!

Oh sure, Hillary is now going to take her orders from Reed and Polosi ! Hillary cares nothing for the Democratic party or the country, it's all about her. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs as a third party against Obama to insure he looses so she can run again in 4 years.

Obama supporters are always whining that Clinton is making him unelectable. Ever heard Clinton supporters whine that Obama is making her unelectable? What's that tell you? Clyburn went all over the airwaves today whimpering about the Clinton's making the nomination not worth having....it's pathetic. Obama supporters KNOW he's going to lose, and are already plotting the excuses. Clyburn is a dumb baboon.

The superdelegates should stop fooling around and just put Hillary over the top. What more do they need to see that Obama is unelectable?

There is no rule that the one who lead the delegate count will get the nomination under the Democrates proportionality rule unless the count reaches 2025. If neither candidate reaches 2025, they have to go to convention for a tie-breaker. Before reaching 2025 delegates, nobody has a claim of the nomination.

The OBAMA campaign, surrogates, and supporters are presumptuous that own the nomination. It is unethical to oust another candidate to get their nomination. It is against the rule. It is not fair to people voting. People are entitled to have all the votes counted and all the voices heard.

The black community turned their table on Bill Clinton over very petty things that they should be ashamed of. They are just making excuses for their racism and voting on the colour of skin rather than issues. These are the fact that Americans will long remember before the race is over.

Pushing Hillary out of the race is not a solution but a problem for the party. As the momentum of the race swinging to Hillary, the OBAMA people are ruining the party more than everything else. Hillary is just fighting for his rights which are legitimate and well deserved.

Again, nobody should count their chicken before all the eggs are hatched. Maths and statistics represents probability not reality. The changing tide proves that Maths don't mean a thing. Just follow the rule and stop making up new rules to mess up the party anymore.

Do not make up new rules because the world is watching OBAMA is doing everything that he was against. From now on, he is downhill all the way.

He has never been a leader of any significant cause in the congress and bipartisanship. No one with a sensible mind thinks that he will.

Put up a good fight and stop your foul play, OBAMA and your fanatics stink.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that he, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean will give a cause that will make Democratic party big lose in November.

Repurican party will have a big win this fall because of Reid, Pelosi, and Dean make a very bad decision.

John McCain anh Clinton have very good exprience, but Obama doesn't.

If no Clinton, I will vote for John McCain.

"This is not racist,its facts. Obama hasn't won the white vote since Feb 19."

----------------------------------------------

When is the last time Clinton won the black vote? As you said, this is not racist, it's facts.

Sorry I didn't see the show. But the Super Delegates are not pledged to vote like their state. My understanding is that they were created to step in when we are in the kind of situation we are in now - to be sure that the party is not split down the middle. Anyway, I was watching Bill Moyers tonight with Rev. Wright. Anyone watching with an open mind would see that much of what we have seen and heard has been created in the press to discredit Obama. I am very happy he came forward finally and spoke.
