When pressed for a hard answer or a realistic comment about the Arizona and Mass Super delegates. Typical Obama, typical politician.
What he is saying is he wants it both ways. He wants all the super delegates to vote the way their states voted, but he still wants John Kerry's and Teddy's support. Amazing!!

And now, in the most amazing trick of all, a silver-tongued freshman senator has found a way to sell hope. To get it, you need only give him your vote. Barack Obama is getting millions.

This kind of sale is hardly new. Organized religion has been offering a similar commodity - salvation - for millennia. Which is why the Obama campaign has the feel of a religious revival.

"We are the hope of the future," sayeth Obama. We can "remake this world as it should be." Believe in me and I shall redeem not just you but your country - nay, we can become "a hymn that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest."

.

If Obama has the popular vote then why should the delegates not go ahead and make him the Dem nominee.

That's a good point Medi, but would you say the same thing if Senator Clinton got more of the popular vote. We still have 18 states to go before the voting totals are in. With the number of huge states coming up, it is conceivable the Mrs. Clinton will lead the popular vote when all is counted.

Apparently Obama wants a coronation rather than a contest. Does he really think the Dem superdelegates are stupid enough to give up their votes and accede to his ridiculous demand and thereby destroy the Dem nominatitng process by requiring superdelegates to vote in lock-step with caucus and primary results? This guy is sounding like Bush, another professed Wash outsider and unifier.

OH PLEASE ....OBAMA ALSO SAID HE WANTS TO HELP EVERY POOR DEVELOPING NATION IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD SO OUR ENEMY CAN SEE US THE LEADER OF HOPE AND CHANGE...PEOPLE GET READY TO PAY HIGHER TAXES...

Jordan, I think you as well as I know Lewis is doing. Its a message meant for Hillary Clinton.

I'm having reservations about Obama now big time. He comes across as a slick talker that has learned what not to say just like all other politicians. Now if he really wants the delegates to vote according to how their states voted, then he would want for Kennedy and Gov Napolitano to support Hillary Clinton. Just goes to show that Obama is not concerned with the Democracy of the votes, he's concerned with the title of President.

Whatever anybody can say about Democratic campaign, everybody is feeling that something is happening in Usa: Change is coming to America. Let believe in!

"We are the change we seek..."

"We must do whatever it takes to eradicate gun violence" but i believe in teh right to bear arms.."

Look at this drivel! Come on America, Obama is an empty suit. He speaks volumes but says nothing of substance...I am ashamed that this callow lightweight may win the democratic nomination.

Obama is relatively new and young, if he can be given more time, he can get more money from lobbyists and sent more money to superdelegates for wining, Yes he can

This story seems to be a non-story. The earth shattering news seems to be that Obama is waiting for a call back from Lewis. Isn't this just another ploy for Big Media to get the name of their crown choice in front of the public again.

I love it when people accuse black people of voting for Obama because he's black. Doesn't anyone remember what everyone was saying just two months ago? All I heard was blacks won't vote for Obama and no one understood why they weren't backing him. They supported Obama after the white people in Iowa did. They had to believe he was electable first. He had to EARN their trust and support.

"Empty Can makes loud sound" which mean that a person talk a lot and promise a lot when in fact he has nothing to offer or has no clue of how to fullfil his promise. Obama is this type of person. He always say change is coming but did not say how. If anyone hope and believe in his promise to bring change without experience, then it is just like they hope to win a lottery. They complaint about racist but in fact most black people voted for Obama just only because he is black not because he can lead. If Obama get the Nomination, I will vote for McCane.

Sorry guys but unfortunately race has become an ugly factor in this debate. The truth is noone expected a black man to get this far. Now that he has, all the black people want to vote for him for his color. Maxine Waters from California is too smart to back Obama. She knows he would lose the general election. All you black people who want to vote Obama just for his color....what if John Mcain has Condelezza Rice or Colin Powell has his running mate? Then will you vote for the most qualified or will you still vote for a JUNIOR senator who can't seem to give answers unless they are prepared for him or on a teleprompter. GET SMART!! If you want change with real answers to our very real problems vote for Hillary. Of course you won't because she's not black and because all of you who have never even wanted to vote before think it's cool to vote for Obama. Well he's not gonna be so cool once John McCain gets through with him.

thats the real issue, Obama doesn't say ANYTHING at all that makes sense. He has also demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of basic economics, proposing programs that cost $1 trillion over four yeasr and he is going to pay for it by ending the Iraq war and taxing 'the rich' well guess what America, we saw who is considered 'Rich' by the democrats in teh stimulus package. make over $75k as a single, you are rich so get ready for some massive tax increases.

we will get the leader we deserve, but not all of us deserve this empty gas bag with no record of substance.

Super Delegates that represent a Congressional Districts like John Lewis and Jim Clyburn are faced with the reality of a political backlash when confronted by voters in their district who are overwhelming for Senator Obama. The rhetoric by Jim Clyburn that the Clinton campaign racially tinged the campaign in South Carolina is nothing more than politics as usual.

Both Senator Obama, Senator Clinton, and media operatives have all used wedge politics of race, gender and generational differences to their advantage during this campaign. Rarely do politicians keep their word or commitments, no matter if it is Senator Obama, Senator Clinton, or Congressman Clyburn. Only a fools believe and vote on political face value.

I used to support Obama but now I just see him for the idiot that he is. My god his followers are sheep. This is actually becoming scary. If it weren't for MSNBC and the media, he would've been gone a long time ago. America I hope you're happy that the media is trying to choose your president for you!! Stand up and vote for Hillary and show them you all have a mind or your own. STUPID SHEEP END UP GOING OVER THE CLIFF!!

Laura, I've voted since I was 18 years old. I'm not voting for Obama because it's the COOL thing to do, I'm voting for him because it's the RIGHT thing to do.

So many of you are commenting on him lacking substance, well that's coming straight from the Clinton campaign. Do you not ever watch his speeches, such as at the Google summit, or his economic summits, or his recent speech at GM?

He had his policy papers out, some of them 1 month before Clinton. The Green Corps was HIS idea, and you are trying to tell me that he's an empty suit with just rhetorical speeches.

I'm sorry, but that's how Clinton has portrayed him since he gave his first speech. She's scared that she's going to lose so she'll try to win at all costs and in the process turn away MILLIONS of democrats.

I've read his policy papers, I've studied his plans for America and he is the REAL DEAL, sorry if you are too shallow to read them yourself. I'm sorry if many on here are too self serving to step outside the realm and read for themselves, but I've taken the time, and I've read everything I could on both candidates, and even on the Republicans, and Barack Obama is the BEST candidate with the MOST PROGRESSIVE agenda to help the middle class that needs it the most.

Uma, mpls..............I'm an African-American for Hillary and I'm appauled at what is taking place. Obama has tried to run his campaign for a year now avoiding the race issue. Now it's okay to invoke race by voting for someone because of their skin color. I pray Hillary gets the nomination.
