Those superdelegates are going to make voters unhappy if they move away from their choice.

‘course, the Soviet-style Democrat party rules mean the party Politburo, er, “leadership” doesn’t really give a damn what voters want.

But the super delegates will not have the testicular fortitude to vote against their preeminent ‘victim class’. Fear will gain Obama the S-D vote.

The longer they fight each other, the better.

Rasmussen: 58% Say Obama Denounced Wright for Political Convenience, not Outrage.

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans believe it’s somewhat or very likely that Obama shares some of Wright’s views.

And, Nine percent (9%) of voters have a favorable opinion of Wright. Eight-one percent (81%) have an unfavorable view.

I admire McCain for going to Iowa to tell folks there he would veto the farm bill. Courageous...but deadly in an election.

If the Republicans win this November, it will be a miracle, given the tarnished brand, Bush approval numbers, the economy, Iraq, and a 72-year-old “maverick,” who tells voters in Iowa he’d veto a farm bill, and factory workers in Ohio he supports free trade (mind you, I agree with both positions).

This is no bright side to a Hillary Presidency. Absolutely none.

The point is that McCain is going need all the help he can get--and the longer this drags on, the more it can only help him. Go, Hillary, go!!

Of course as more democrats drift away from the haloed one, as is happening now, then the only folks likel;y to be truly angered by a win for Billary are Black voters and those latte libs. Come November they'll vote against a Republican in their usual numbers. Hope the Operation Chaos leadership will be happy with the result.

What is the bright side of an Obama presidency?

Quandary:

Do they continue to support Obama and face an almost-certain defeat in November?

Or

Do they cut their losses early and nominate Clinton.

Or

Do they drop both, and go with a 3rd selection at the Convention, in hopes of unifying by November?

Whichever they choose, the GOP is still stuck with McCain, it seems.

I honestly don't see an upside to this continuing if Hillary gets the nod. The Magnificent One Rush has said Obama can't win so why with the aid of republican voters is Hillary being encouraged and helped? Sorry I think many here want McCain defeated, I'm convinced Rush does I just wish Rush and his rushbots would be totally upfront about their motives.

And who continues to advocate assaults on free speech (he still claims 527's should be outlawed).

And who continues to advocate comprehensive immigration (a.k.a., amnesty for illegals).

The McCain of the past decade is the same McCain who gave the Conservatives the middle-finger salute after his win in South Carolina.

Anyone who votes for McCain and expects a different result is delusional.

Hillary is MARRIED to a guy who is a perv and was the most disgraceful president in history...he lies, he cheats etc etc....and she's condoned EVERYTHING "all the way".....and always has.

Her halo is more crooked than Obama's.

Should that be crookeder??

But the real point is what they BOTH are: LIBERAL SOCIALISTS which this little controversy shoves into the background.

Cynic! lol

[Who would be more beneficial to the conservative talk radio hosts? A McCain or a Clinton/Obama in the White House? Think of all of those obscene profit opportunities.]

How so? They vary little on their proposals. I see no advantage to either . Advantage Clinton has will be she can twist the arms of those senators that did not endorse her so her proposals seem more likely to flow through both houses easier than Obamas would.
