On My Switch From Clinton to Obama

I wouldn’t say we are coming home.

It’s more like we have a really bad case of Obamaphobia.

That’s about the only thing I can say in defense of McCain at this point.

I still don’t know what I’m going to do. If it’s close enough in our state, I suppose I might have to do it, but I don’t have to like it.

I will never believe we are uniting behind Juan.

We are uniting against the other side, but party has nothing to do with it.

We are stuck with the only game in town.

BTW, Paperdoll, it’s good to see you back!

I kind of went into a funk in January myself!

Thank you, Califreak. After reading your profile, I think I love you! :)

I always loved you for supporting Duncan Hunter!

False. Not all superdelegates are elected officials, and even some of those that were elected have since been voted out of office or retired. I suggest you get your facts straight prior to lecturing me again.

That's true. Not ALL of the superdelegates are currently elected officials, some are past elected officials such as former presidents, vice presidents, and former majority and minority leaders in the house and senate. Former DNC chairmen are also superdelegates.

However, the vast majority are currently elected officials.

So 80% of the delegates are selected through the primaries, and most, but not all of the superdelegates are currently elected officials, yet you say the voters have no say in the matter.

You have a strange way of taking small minorities and acting like they are the majority.
