For a few days there I kind of believed that Obama might win this thing. Not that I want Obama to win but that's another story.
But I thought, maybe Obama will actually beat She Who Will Be Queen and never mind that by me Obama would be way worse than Hillary should he win. For a while it just made me smile that once the Dems had somebody, ANYBODY, they all, the Kennedys, many lib Governors, all swung over to Obama. Made me think that maybe the Clintons got on their nerves too and should the chance arise they want to throw that pair over the bow.
Then reality hit me. What's the deal with these so-called "super-delagates"? I realize this is a Dem thing but from the bits and pieces I hear, super-delagates are like ex-governors and "hard-working" local political folk. But my thought is, isn't it just like the Dems to build in a quality mechanism to tamper so easily with the will of the people?
Ex-Governors? Hard-working local politicos? This has CLINTON written all over it. Because if any of them ever had their name in an FBI file you gotta know they'll for the Hill. The rest of them, well money buys a lot, maybe even super-delagate votes.
Oh, and the Florida/Michigan thing! You think Hill's gonna let this drop should Obama win in the other states? Already I see that Dem Senator from Florida out, forget his name. But already he's out and arguing for Florida's votes to count, that Floridians shouldn't be disenfranchised.
So I read some pundit or another who mentions, correctly I think, that Obama didn't campaign in Florida, that it was understood that Florida has no votes in the primary.
Only The Hill campaigned in Florida, huh? And sheesh, She Who Will Be Queen has so many aces in the hole my mind boggles.
Which doesn't affect us so much except, hey, I wasn't expecting this Obama thing and now I gotta think about this.
Finally, how about Huckabee winning everywhere tonight? What's up with that?
About Huckabee—all it took was for Mitt to drop out. Too bad Mitt didn’t do it sooner.
You missed one. Ex-Presidents!
Finally, how about Huckabee winning everywhere tonight? What's up with that?
Conservatives sending McCain a message. The speech at CPAC was not nearly enough to convince us of his so called conservative credentials.
The Dems went to super delegates to prevent any future George McGoverns ( ~ radicals) from running..They may favor Hillary but it is going to be a very tough sell to their Dem constituency that Obama is not their choice, especially if he is leading in committed delegate votes..if that happens and they choose Hillary they will split the party.
As for Huckabee winning ?..i think it is a combination of Huckabee voters plus Stop McCain voters..That gives more strength to Huckabee, but also to Fred and Romney and possibly Hunter..
This may go into extra innings...more popcorn...
