You are correct, but I couldn't resist posting this anyway:

Hillery is FIXED as the in?

Sorry babe, this is a democracy. And a fix in this primary would make the Chicago Democrat Convention of 1968 look like child's play.

There will be no fix. If Hillery wants the nomination, she will have to win it. George Soros has spoken. Terry can't upside Soros. No way.

If she continues running 3rd in the various states, even with Super Delegates, the DNC will find way to drop her. If she can’t win primaries, she certainly can’t win the National.

Superdelegates are Hillary’s secret weapon that nobody talks about.

Her opposition would have to win an overwhelming majority of elected delegates to take her out.

All true EXCEPT if Hilary loses big in the primaries it will be difficult for the super delegates to nominate her. It would turn off a lot of the party base to get the candidate they clearly didn’t want.

The superdelegates control 42 percent of the votes needed to nominate Hillary. They may vote for whomever they wish, for any reason, and may change their minds at will. In August, they will nominate Hillary.

If this human toilet hillary is the dem candidate, she'll lose the general election by a larger margin then Kerry's loss to Bush in '04.

The super delegates were before the coronation collapse. When the nut-roots finds out, everything is off.

We’ve been having a discussion about this, Richard. It Obama beats her in big enough numbers, I suspect there will be great pressure on the super delegates to jump ship. The pressure, threats, and bribery from the Clintonistas on them must be intense behind the scenes. If Obama looks like he will deserve the nomination, but the Clintonistas stand in the way, there will be warfare by the Dem’s black base.

“Should Hillary falter in the primaries, the superdelegates will likely come to her rescue and nominate her anyway.”

Not a chance. If Obama is visibly robbed, the nomination won’t be worth anything.

Sure she will. She just has to win one primary first, to show she is electable. Coming in second doesn't cut it. Hillary has to show she has the goods. It won't matter if Obama should win primary after primary by double-digit blow-out margins. Then Hillary would forced to deny the nomination to a black man favored by the majority of Democrats. Keep him down cause its MY turn. Yeah, right.

You must know how the Democrat Party machine works - there’s a dude from Illinois that it wants to run over.

Looks to me like we win either way. If Her Thighness mounts a coup, the nutroots stay home or vote for a third party crackpot. If Obama wins, google the “David Dinkins effect.”

Clarity. This entire campaign is nothin gbut street theater. She Who Must Not Be Named is the presumptive heir to the nomination.

As for the “comeback kid” article, I say Feb 6th - The new GroundHog Day, where She will see Her shadow and Amerika will have four years of winter.

The flaw in this is if she loses the primary vote by a large margin. The RATs will have to jettison all their push for popular vote over electoral college in order to annoint Toonette. Once again, we’ll have the coattails of death.

Great analysis, as far as it goes. It does not discuss (because the topic is another article in itself) how blacks in the dem base will feel if their clearly strong candidate is “robbed” by smoke-filled room white party operatives. The “sit out” factor in the general is not to be overlooked given this scenario. Thanks for the more detailed information on the Super Delegates.
