sounds almost as if the DNC is telling us azurnoir Jan 2016 #23

Wait, you're saying that the outcome of voting mythology Jan 2016 #24

it's about the superdelegates which we're told Clinton has sewn up before a single vote is even cast azurnoir Jan 2016 #41

Superdelegates votes are earned by candidates. MineralMan Jan 2016 #46

again they have nothing to do with what the rank and file want it's political azurnoir Jan 2016 #58

It's politics and political organization. KittyWampus Jan 2016 #61

why yes it is indeed azurnoir Jan 2016 #62

The DNC isn't saying anything to you Stuckinthebush Jan 2016 #34

did Obama have the superdelegates sewn up BEFORE the first primary was even held? azurnoir Jan 2016 #40

Yes he did Stuckinthebush Jan 2016 #42

you confess at this point in 2008 most superdelegates were not yet committed azurnoir Jan 2016 #45

Your original statement Stuckinthebush Jan 2016 #47

again nothing you've refutes my statement azurnoir Jan 2016 #60

Why are you worried about Superdelegates? brooklynite Jan 2016 #51

ah so you're saying your own OP is Crap -thanks for that azurnoir Jan 2016 #59
