Democrat nominee decided by super delegates?

Suck it up ... if one wants to change the rules, abide by them for the remainder of this election cycle and do it above board within the rules established by the Party. If one thought it was a bad idea, they should have done something about it before it ever came to this point.

... this said ...

I don't think the superdelegates will alter the outcome of the primaries (excluding Fl and MI).

I have no problem with the idea of a super delegate, as long as they vote as they should - a large number of them are directly affiliated with a state - they are senators, representatives, elected in state contests, whatever. As far as i am concerned, they have no right to vote differently than their state did. (legally, they do, morally, i think they do not). I have to profess my hope against hope that the large majority of them will cave to the enormous political pressure they will be under to back their state's decision.

If Obama wins the most delegates, and loses because of superdelegates, i may never vote again.

Oh please. you have governors, mayors, city councils, state legislates, and US reps/senators for a reason. Don't blame the top before you blame everyone prior to that.

Why wasn't Blanco impeached? Why was Nagin reelected? Gross negligence when their cities and states needed them. They control their own national guard forces. they have their own budgets and contigency plans for their own issues. You didn't see Houston bitching and moaning for federal help when Allison destroyed the medical center, downtown, and pretty much half the city. You didn't see Mississippi and alabama making the stink that Louisiana did and STILL does about katrina, and there's city's, neighborhoods, miles of development 100% gone. Not just wet and fucked up and moldy. Washed the fuck away.

Katrina........please. Louisiana failed louisiana. When we see some state responsibility, from the local to the governors office, then we can start moving up the chain of command.

And I can say that shit because I was in the dome, passing out sandwiches and water bottles. I gave blood. Food. Clothing. Appliances. My wife worked at charity hospital, the one with the "omg it's so terrible people are dying" story every 5 minutes.

No shit people are dying. it's a fucking hurricane, there's no power, there's 10 feet of water in the streets, there's NO FUCKING LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY GAVE UP IN THE SYSTEM AND THEIR OWN PEOPLE, and the people themselves have low moral and ethical standards. No shit, people are fucking dying.

Blaming bush for Katrina is like blaming the president of indonesia on the tsunami. Ridiculous.

Stay on topic. Democrats. Super delegates. Burning it down.

If I didn't think voting was so important as one of my civil duties I'd be right next to ya on the couch election day.

If I were a registered Democrat and not independent I'd be more likely to cause a fuss. I think that it is unfair. That and the electoral college. Not going to say that Gore should have been president because I was happy with W's first two and a half years and I think Gore would have sucked at it. But The electoral college is Bull sniazah too.

**...bigdog...** · 02-11-08, 09:19 PM

just for the damn principle of the thing, I'm going to vote for obama in the election, just so I can get disenfranchised by the super delegates going for hillary.

that's right......you read it here....

Bigdog endorses Barack Obama for the Texas primary. It might be the only chance you'll ever have to vote AGAINST Hillary Clinton, get disenfranchised, and be able to attend the burn-it-down party at bigdog's house.

We DOnt need no Water LET THE MOTHER***KER Burn!

P.S. People had days of warning for Katrina. If you live below sea level on the coast and there is a hurricane coming...run, dummy. Survival of the fittest. Keep in mind the city of NO had 8500 busses sitting still and completely lost to flood waters. were they used to evacuate? Nope. The real outrage is to listen to the IPOD wearing Hybrid driven Starbucks junkys point there finger at the commander in chief they voted for, and blame him for everything not because they are informed.. but because its popular.

Lifes tuff.. get a helmet.
