Sort of a non-victory victory...
As I said in previous post, the she devil has it locked up, but still can be wounded and tainted beyond repair.
>An AP analysis of the Iowa caucus results showed Obama winning 16 delegates, followed by Clinton with 15 and Edwards with 14.
How does that work? Edwards came in second. Clinton came in third. So why does she have one more than Edwards?
LOl. Ok, I’ll bite-—who leads the GOP “superdelegate” race?
So, no matter what happens in the primaries or caucuses, the delegates can choose who they want. Since the delegates are all Dem politicians...it's pretty simple for Hillary: "If you want money for your next election...vote for me".
The witch ain’t going away even if NH is an Iowa rerun. All that remains to be seen is how much the enemedia will continue to carry water for her now that they have a prettier younger face who might be a better tool with which to promote their socialist agenda.
Probably a missprint
Now the only good news from IA has been taken from me.
Fuzzy Democrat Delegate math.
Akin to conjuring and witchcraft.
Well not for me. I don't see how the masses
would take this too well.
This reminds me of the double secret probations.
Only now we have double secret super delegates.
LOL. Yah, the super-delegates will troop like lemmings to the winners column hoping for jobs, connections, power and bragging rights. This story is air.
Let the coronation continue...
While there are no superdelegates in the Republican race for president, there are a number of Republican National Committee officials who essentially have similar voting privileges at the nominating convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in September.
A total of 123 RNC members -- state party chairs and RNC committeemen and committeewomen -- from 35 states, D.C., and the territories are "unpledged," meaning they are free to support any candidate at the convention.
Voting RNC members
Mitt Romney: 6
Mike Huckabee: 3
Rudy Giuliani: 1
Unpledged: 123
1,200 delegate votes needed to win the GOP presidential nod
An overwhelming majority of the RNC-member delegates CNN contacted were either undecided or are remaining neutral. Although the 123 unpledged RNC-member delegates make up a small fraction of the roughly 1,200 delegate votes needed to win the GOP presidential nod, support from these RNC-member delegates could play a decisive role in a close race for the nomination.
So how many delegates did each guy win last night?
Boy, the Democratic nomination process really is rigged, isn’t it?
The Dems have ~1/3 of their delegate votes as superdelegate votes: the GOP use roughly a 1/10 ratio .
So Hiliary! does have a certain inevitability, as she only has to suborn the votes of about 700 people in order to get 1/3 of the votes.
