The Obama campaign has argued that Super Delegates ought to vote in accordance with the “will” of the people. Really? Then let’s run the numbers. Under that metric, who would have a lead in Super Delegates? The Super Delegate total from the states that Hillary has won thus far (including FL and MI) is […]

I’ve updated my post: “Math that Matters Most”. with fresh data from Hominid Views that, once again, shows Barack loses and Hillary wins in the general election.

Many people are asking. “Why isn’t Hillary leaving the race?” Or, “Isn’t the math prohibitive?” Well, the answer is given quite simply by Karl Rove. Now Karl may be a lot of things, but he is not stupid and he knows politics and elections. Unlike Hillary and her surrogates in the […]

The full-court press to force Hillary from the presidential race ain’t working. She will win the West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico primaries.
But the screwed-up, patchwork system the Democrats are using to choose delegates has given small states, which are unlikely to be in the Democratic column come November, inordinate influence. […]

As the campaign for the nomination heads into the final days before North Carolina and Indiana, both campaigns are attempting to control the narrative prior to the voting. Obama is failing miserably. The Clinton campaign so fully controls the narrative now that it’s virtually a presidency-in-waiting, with bully pulpit and podium to boot (more […]

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire
Recent polls show that approximately 30% of Hillary voters could defect to McCain if Obama is the nominee. That such a large swath of Democratic voters might defect should be disconcerting to superdelegates, to say the least. I’ve been reflecting for several weeks […]

UPDATES: Hillary has two new superdelegates: (1) Bill George, DNC member since 1996 and President of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO (because Hilary is the most “electable,” and (2) Luisette Cabanas at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazon (Puerto Rico). ALSO from that MyDD diary: “This makes 6 new Super delegates (if I count correctly) added to […]

UPDATE: Hillary is on O’Reilly’s The Factor, Fox News, tomorrow.
UPDATE: V4Hill grabbed a great part of Gov. Mike Easley’s endorsement that the original video (now the second one) missed…. a great line about Rocky Balboa!
The governor also has some great things to say about Hillary’s ability to get things done (and not just talk about […]

Senator Hillary Clinton had a point when she declared that the “tide is turning” after her impressive victory in Pennsylvania last week.
Since then, senior Party leaders have been speaking up, and changing their tune.
Not too long ago, Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean was urging unpledged “super delegates” to decide “now!” and warning them not […]

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My […]
