Despite pressure, Pelosi firm on superdelegates -- Politics, Ne...

What Pelosi said is unequivocably true. It really would hurt the credibility and legitimacy of the Democratic party for the superdelegates to decide the contest contrary to what the voters have decided. Its called the Democratic party for a reason. For this event to have transpired the way it has sours my view of Hillary and her supporters even more.

To be honest, I don't buy the arguments in favor of Hillary. If she really is so experienced, why does her campaign keep producing so many embarassingly bad you-tube videos?

This is really one of the better ones...

As far as primaries go, the Clintons don't seem to care about the democratic party... and that is bad. Bill spent too much time getting Hillary into congress, and that probably cost Al Gore the Election in 2000. What's her experience? Oh yeah, it is experience that was only possible because of who she was married to. Hillary strikes me as overly greedy and primarily the servant of her big money constituents.

Pelosi is a superdelegate isn't she? Is she not entitled to her opinion or is the Clinton donors becoming desperate? They donors may be very weathy but they don't seem to be too smart!

Yeah South - you said it - so these people who think they can buy outcomes with their power - get stuffed, the American people are taking the power back for themselves - millions of them, joined together for a common purpose and you are nothing in the fact of that - get used to it.

Good on Pelosi for sticking to her guns. I knew she would. Now there is a woman with some integrity - showing the sort of character that I could be proud of in the first female President of the United States.

If the San Francisco flake Pelosi is so worried about the voters wishes, the Comintern of the Party will let the votes of Michigan and Florida be counted. Of course,'man of the people' Obama made sure that didn't happen, and the liberal elite of the party is quite happy to pick their own nominee. The loser, of course, as has been picked for 28 of the last 40 years. The two Democrats who did manage to get elected in this time were not liked by the flake wing of the party: that is why they won.

If they think that I, who have been voting Democratic for 30 years, am going to let them hijack my vote and assume I will vote for Obama, they are very sadly mistaken. We can stay home just like the evangelicals did in '92 when they single-handedly lost the election for Bush 1.

I think the Dem. party better wake up and look at who would
be the best role model for President. Someone we really don't
know and who would be advised by a Rev. who hates America
and has a wife that also hates America?? This tarnish will never go away. Yes Hillary has baggage, but she loves America enough to take all the knock downs and she still comes up fighting.
We need her and I will vote Rep. if Obama wins and I will
fight for the rep. party even though I am and have always been a Dem. I would not want a person that associates himself
with a hate preacher. I would be ashamed of my country.
God Bless America! Let's get behind Hilllary and get on
with the election!

Obama could never be trusted when his Rev. is his
advisor. How could anyone want a President that
has been associated with such hate for America. We
will be the laughing stock nation wide. Quite trying
to get Hillary out. At least she loves America and has
showed this with her actions. Can you say this about
Obama? You had better take a long look at the road
ahead and who would be the best PERSON for the job.
I love America and want a President that does also.
I will not vote for Obama!!! Get behind Hillary and show
your red, white and blue colors!!!

ABC's Jake Tapper reported on an unnamed Democratic Party official saying that it’s not a question of *if* Clinton can somehow secure the nomination. The question is -- what will she have to do in order to achieve it? The official’s answer: She will have to "break his back," to destroy Obama and make him completely unacceptable. "Her securing the nomination is certainly possible - but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option.'" the official said. Read full story here - http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/... ).

As the Clinton campaign spins Obama as actually being the reprehensibly negative player in this competition, and the media swallowing and regurgitating the most incendiary non-issues,(consider today’s self-righteous "all I know is that if it were me personally, I would have left that church), I fear for the future of Obama’s campaign, of the Democratic party, and the United States. I’m afraid we can’t take another two months of the destructive Clinton ambition machine. Please contact the Democratic National Committee (http://www.democrats.org/page /s/contactissues) and let the party leaders no that we can’t waste any more time; the train is nearing the bridge that’s out, and it takes a lot to stop that kind of fateful momentum. Superdelegates must decide *now*, not in August, to swing behind the best candidate in our generation so that the Democratic Party can look forward to the general election in November and beyond.

Where is Nancy Pelosi's outrage that Florida and Michigan's voices are not counted in this important race??
No wonder the Congress has lower ratings than Bush. She is not the leader she thinks she is.

I am Hillary Clinton and I endorse this message.

Actually I might have mis-spoken but who cares, call me a liar, shit happens, get over it and vote me President.

Ok, will do.

I wonder if those $35 donors will be there for Congressman during the next election cycle...?

Nancy Pelosi is not the "Decider" for the Democratic party. The approved rules are simple...Super Delegates are to vote for the candidate they feel is best qualified. If they were to vote based solely on the popular vote in each state, why even have Super Delegates? I consider it a poor method and it needs to be changed but not in the middle of the process. As far as Michigan and Florida, both candidates are wrong. Hillary surely can't consider it fair to allow the illegal votes to count---and Obama would have been extremely anxious to have redo primaries if the states had been South Carolina and Mississippi. Both candidates may be talking change but it's "politics as usual". That said, I will support whichever Democrat is the nominee. John McCain is too old, he won't get us out of Iraq, and he knows even less about the economy than Bush.

Nancy Pelosi has no back bone. When thousands of Americans were calling for the impeachment of Bush she sat there and did nothing! Now millions of people have voted for Hillary Clinton and are not being heard because the DNC will not count the votes from Florida and Michigan. How can anyone say Obama has more votes than Clinton when all the votes have not been counted?

I could not believe it happens in US a freedom & democrat country, that election can be bought. I was not surprise if it happens in the 3rd world / underdevelopment countries. No wonder, America lost its reputation and respect from the world. America is not world leader any more; it becomes poorer with finance and education. It is sad for the next generations.

There is an easy way to solve the superdelegate problem. Since Pelosi wants to change the rules in the middle of the game, go ahead, but change all the rules. Give to each candidate all the delegates, be they pledged or super for the States that each candidate won, that is winner take all. If you did that, you will see that Clinton is the one who is ahead. The present rules are idiotic. The November elections will be winner take all. Clinton is the leader if the rules were winner take all. Once again, it seems the Democrats prefer to lose the presidency than to allow the candidate to be chosen by the rules that apply in the general elections. Thus most likely the Republicans will win again.

"I Want Out",
I laughed like hell at your "comment". Obviously, you are not exactly a deep thinker but compared to the most of the crap I've read, I truly enjoyed the thought you shared with the rest of us.
