Is this election going to come down to how many "Super"delegates Hillary can buy with some promised Cabinet, State Department, Judgeship, or ambassador position? Wow! Hillary should go DOWN in history as the most manipulative, conniving, evil witch who held Truth hostage in this election. If the Democratic Party chooses to go down with her, so be it.TruthSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733295278520216517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655786796982608016.post-10911963704567363222008-04-25T09:32:00.000-04:002008-04-25T09:32:00.000-04:00Insult comic dog has hit it on the head. This sec...Insult comic dog has hit it on the head. This secret weapon only works if the question of seating these delegates gets past the rules committee. In order to do that she needs a majority of the rules committee, which will roughly be equally weighted by Obama and Clinton delegates with DNC reps representing Howard Dean taking 25 slots. Since Dean has already said that a decision must be made by the SD's by 6/3, his representatives are never going to support a decision that will blow that up. Her only chance then is to make this a floor fight--which no one (even many of her pledged delegates want). You have to remember that a large number of the uncommitted SDs are party leaders who have decided to stay above the fray, but have stated categorically this will be decided by June (Pelosi, Reid etc). There are so many big name dems that have not committed for that reason, but will do so once the primaries end.<BR/><BR/>HC's stated strategy of flipping delegates has been her biggest failure. Since January close to 100 delegates have moved to Obama and something like 6 have moved to her. While Obama has gotten some of the Clinton delegates to flip, she has not flipped one Obama commitment. And she won't based on the way she has run her campaign<BR/><BR/>Odds are this thing is going to be decided after NC/Ind.<BR/><BR/>You see Susan, contrary to what some hardcore Clinton supporters believe, there is not alot of support to sit this delegation if it's ultimate result is to throw the election to HC. Yes, it will be seated if it means the status quo, but no if it directly causes HC to win.joep58https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974360248895213441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655786796982608016.post-52981704937015300542008-04-24T17:34:00.000-04:002008-04-24T17:34:00.000-04:00Hillary can only win a floor fight if she has the ...Hillary can only win a floor fight if she has the numbers on the floor.
