Superdelegates say, we will decide

So this begs the question: Who is more electable in the GE, Obama or Clinton?

"Uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their decision."

And the train wreck in the making continues on down the track.

" only four said they regarded the primary vote as decisive. "

Then why bother with a primary at all? This is the stupidest election I can remember.

What they are saying is “How much are you willing to pay me for my vote?” or “Will you promise to make me the Ambassader to St. Lucia?”.

I saw on CNN this morning...so maybe not real reliable...

They polled Obama supporters and most would vote for Hillary in the GE if she was the nominee.

Same poll of Hillary supporters and the numbers dropped for voting for Obama if he got the nod.

Thus CNN says Hillary is more likely to be able to compete with McCain in the GE.

FWIW...

Sounds a little like a Hillary press release. If she does take the nomination on this basis, though, it will be extremely interesting to watch the demographics in the general election.

I'm still calling it Obama by a nose but I doubt if either staff is sleeping very well.

"Of 42 lawmakers interviewed by The Hill, only four said they regarded the primary vote consent of the governed as decisive necessary."

There, fixed.

Clinton is more electable.

After the Wright and Obama’s terrorist buddy, he lost everybody but blacks and white elite liberals.

I figure if they want the White House, put Hillary in and figure for a short time the blacks will be mad.
But after 40+ years of Democrats being the Klan, putting abortion clinics all through black communities to kill their children and failing them like crazy in public education... so what?
Democrats have been pissing on blacks forever, since way before they used to hose them when they tried to desegregate schools.
Blacks feel they have no where else to go and vote than their old masters of the Democrat party, so I guess they should go with Hillary.The blacks will remain on the plantation like good helpers in the end IMO.

“Uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their decision.”

So it really doesn’t matter who the people want as a candidate, they are the deciders.
Shows what a farce the whole thing is.

Clinton.

Your article is dated the sixth. The situation with delegates has changed since then.
