He sure doesn’t need her for VP! I would get a food taster if she was my VP!

I guess these superdelegates for Obama are idiots along with being stupid.

Shoot. I’m cncerned this will turn into a superdelegate landslide.

Of course, she could mount a floor fight under almost any foreseeable circumstances...Ted Kennedy did so in 1980 with only 1/3rd of the delegates.

That is true and rarely mentioned, but I doubt if she goes that far. She could end up losing her Senate seat as well. She already has made extra enemies by going on this far.

The numbers are starting to really go against the Red Queen. That said, somewhere on this site I read an article, last night, about Obama’s heritage...the non African American that he is based on his father's linage and the grandfather going with the Islamic or Arabic heritage rather than being a member of an actual African tribe..
And in that article the author said that this could blow him out of the water IF the MSM would cover it and ask the questions. I am not trying to race bait here but the article just went on to point out the per centages of his biological side and then to ask the question if he lies about this, what else will he lie about..
So could this be the thing that Hillary drops in her last bid to win the nomination?

And he never will. So what?

A nominee doesn't need every single superdelegate to secure the nomination.

Not to nitpick, but if two announced and its 275-270, doesn’t that mean that he was already ahead? I mean, if the two jumped ship from Hillary to BHO, then it would have been 273-272 Obama to begin with.

Just the media trying to blow even more smoke up his...well, you know...

Amen to that!! They simply can’t help themselves, and cycle after cycle they go immediately to the very bottom of the barrel for their nominee pick. It is nothing short of amazing. The bad news is that the R.’s have gone to the same strategy this time around with McShame.

Rush was right a week and a half ago but his callers seemed to bail on him, panicking that Clinton might beat Obama. If more Republicans had supported Hillary last Tuesday she could have make North Carolina close, handily won Indiana, would still be in the race. Operation Chaos is about over.

Operation Chaos couldn’t make up for 90% black vote AND high turnout going for Obama in NC. It did work pretty well in Indiana. Clinton would not have won there without it.

The Democrats are completely out of their minds.

The Obama candidacy and Clintons for that matter are a direct result of giving every one the types of people the Founders warned about giving the right to vote the franchise.

THIS NATION WAS NOT FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF LETTING ALL CITIZENS VOTE.

It took 4 constitutional amendments and Motor Voter, but the work is just about done.

Amendments 15,19,24,26 have just about doomed the Republic.

Its all downhill from here.

It doesn’t matter how many super delegates either of them has. What’s going to be fun is watching those two idiots try and co-exist in the senate after McCain wins the White House. After the November elections, you can bet that Obama will start his run for 2012. Hitlery, OTOH, will fade into history. Nobody will want to associate with her after November ‘08.

Actually, the Constitution left voting rights requirements to the STATES. So New England states were letting their few black males vote in the 1850s!

It is possible that many conservatives will vote for Oprah’s Obama thinking he can “get” gasoline prices down and provide them with “free” health care. Conservatives have been duped before.

No, Kennedy money flows only to Kennedys. It is said at the retail level that EMK never buys lunch for anyone; it is that person’s privilege to pay for lunch in order to dine with “Uncle Ted”. And the American people fall for that.

My 7 year old grandson would have questions about the basic math here:

“Just broadcast on FoxNews. Two Virgin Island SuperDelegates announced for Obama and this puts him ahead of Clinton in Superdelegates for the first time! 275 Obama 270 Clinton.”

Let see Obama gains two SD’s and now leads $hrill by 5 votes.

There are Muslim Africans. His Dad was a muslim kenyan socialist marxist elite economist who worked for the Kenyan government.

I am frankly a bit relieved that Hillary is definitely out of the picture, despite the success of operation chaos. Obama is more beatable than Hillary would have been.

Obama was rated the most liberal member of the Senate.
He has zero accomplishments, no record of any real service to country, and a lifetime of associating with radicals.
His oratory is cotton candy, tasty but of no real value.

If we cannot beat Obama with one of the few Republicans out there with positive favorables (above 50%), then we couldnt beat anyone with anything.
