Dean: I need a decision 'now'

[D-fendr]

Only Howard Dean could screw up a train wreck he caused.

[Mark]

Read the comments at the bottom of the article at the CNN site. Libs attacking each other and attacking Dean. Visualize CHAOS. Too funny.

[Tex Pete]

Aren't the primaries still going on?

[uglybiker]

I guess it's time for Dean to give his Motivational Speech. ;-)

I wonder if Dean would have Obama take his seat in the back of the bus, or does he want Hillary to stay at home and cook for Bill. The dems have created an electoral monster here with the two candidates they have, the racial/gender interest groups they have pandered to for years, and the structure of their nominating process. Where the dems are right now is literally a perfect storm, and nothing worked out in a ‘smoke filled back room’ will make it all better.

The beauty is that a decision at this point is guaranteed to split the Dims and lead to irreconcilable bitterness.

The alternative of course being a bitter brokered Dim convention.

I just love this election cycle.

[eyedigress]

Leave it up to the Democrats to invent super-delegates?

Even they know their moonbat wing is to stupid to pick a mentally balanced candidate and their base is becoming that wing.

[Know et al]

Obama is ahead in the delegate and popular vote.
If the delegates commit now, they will have to commit to Obama, otherwise Hillary will have the stigma of being selected not elected. Where have I heard that before?

[John123]

“We’ve got to know who our nominee is.”

When the choices are Hillary or Obama -- does it really matter?

[RichInOC]

Okay, Howie, here’s one:

Both your candidates suck.

Here’s another:

Both your candidates, as well as their spouses, are phony-baloney, plastic-banana, good-time-rock-’n’-rollers.

[GVnana]

Hmmm. Let's see. A congenital liar or a socialist with bomb-throwing friends...

Scream, Howard. Scream.

[hsalaw]

If the delegates commit now, they will have to commit to Obama

Actually, the superdelegates don't have to commit to the most popular candidate. That's the whole point: the superdelegates are there to save the dem party from itself, to save it from picking a real whacko unelectable candidate (like there's any choice for them this year), and thus they don't have to follow the popular vote. If they just follow the popular vote, what's the point of having them?

[Parley Baer]

Looks like Operation Chaos is have its affect. Bwahahahahaha.

[omega4179]

OPERATION CHAOS.

[omega4179]

Democraps do not have stigmas because the media will fall in line and throw Barry under the bus as a lightweight and a liar not ready for primetime.

[Koblenz]

Hillary won't pick up many delegates in PA. They award many of the delegates based on congressional district. The # of delegates in a CD is based on how many people voted Democrat last time.

Barack will win the black districts overwhelmingly. Hillary will win the (bitter) rural districts. But the rural districts have usually four delegates. So unless Hillary gets above 62.5%, the delegates will be split 2-2. As long as Barack gets 12.5%, he'll get one of the four delegates. So even a blowout by Hillary won't yield many delegates. There are some state-wide allocated delegates, but on the CD allocated ones, she won't win that many.

[harpo11]

Old Howard is a spoil sport. Rush Limbaugh is having too much fun aiding and abetting the primary process, especially giving his full support to Hillary Clinton, as he said today, Hillary can't go after Obama, so the republicans have to, and like a true gentleman and honorable man of the highest character that Rush is and I really like him for these qualities, he has stepped up to the plate to boldly go where no republican candidate for president will and take on the heavy lifting of Hillary to the top of the democrat ticket.

Ah, Rush, please don't lift to hard though, we don't want to see her merrily ensconced in the pretty in pink oval office.

[not2worry]

Is it me, or is Howard Dean cloning a Bill Clinton nose?

Obviously the Barrack Fund Raisers for the DNC have gotten Dean’s attention....Money Talks, but the Lack of it Screems.

JMHO

[supremedoctrine]

THis “need to know” can only mean one thing:give the DNC enough time to readjust to the fact that Hillary will be the nominee, after so many “Key” Democrats have already thrown her under the bus, and allied themselves with Obama, who is the new Diversity Stand-in for how Bill Clinton was considered in ‘91. When these “defections” started, I knew they were making a mistake, but I wanted to lean back and watch the process of their self-destruction continue unabated. It is ongoing, and soon they will come to their senses and realize what side their bread is buttered on , and that side is Hillary.
