14. Thanks for this. They think it's a winning strategy to fuk everyone over.
The Obama strategy is actually quite brilliant. Claim that he has a mandate because for the moment he is ahead in delegates and votes. Never mind that someone else could have made the same claim at some other point in time.


At first they said the supers should be bound to vote with their constituents (completely missing the fact that pledged delegates serve that function.) When Hillary took Massachusetts and created a hypocrisy problem for Kennedy and Kerry, they shifted their stance to supers who don't do what they should do (vote Obama) might face a challenge to their seats. They sent out Bill Thug Bradley to deliver that threat.

People are beginning to notice how his stories on Wright and Rezko undergo revision as new information is about to hit the news. I hope they can see his hypocrisy on this issue also.

However, you will still read posters at DU talk about the possibility that Democrats in Florida might get a chance to vote in a new election as being the same kind of election fraud as that which Jeb Bush perpetrated in 2000 when he drew up a phony felons list that kept Blacks from voting.


I was reminded of this also but mainly more as analogous to keeping the whole state from voting. They are treating all the primary voters as felons.

As I keep saying, pretending the people in Florida and Michigan haven't voted doesn't take away from the fact that the will of the voters is for Hillary to be the nominee. You are more correct to say maybe, but I think she will do well with the remainder of the primary states. I believe Obama has patched together his lead with Repuke crossovers who meddled, non-representational caucuses and outright threats to supers, especially the black supers (most of who have worked their hearts out for their constituents and don't deserve this sort of skullduggery.)
