If Obama leads in committed (non-SD) delegates in August, he better be the nominee
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 11:48 PM by BluegrassDem
I don't give a damn about superdelegates. If Obama goes into Denver with a lead in the won delegates and he doesn't get the nomination because of Bill Clinton bullying superdelegates, there'll be a revolution in Denver! There will be no walls at the Pepsi Arena after Obama folks get through. Chicago in 1968 will look like a peace gathering compared to what Denver will look like if Obama gets screwed by backdoor deals. There will be a war inside that arena.

1. You might want to make some cookies...
...and put on a pot of coffee for the DHS agents who will be visiting you shortly. I recommend toll house. :)

2. Pepsi Arena?
Try Pepsi Center. That's what the arena is called.

I'm watching basketball at the PC... so I know :)

3. hahaha
I don't understand the Obama supporter logic. We should follow the rules when it comes to Florida and Michigan, but not when it comes to superdelegates.

6. Superdelegates are there for the express purpose
of overriding people like you. You may not give a damn about them, but you know what? They don't give a damn about you. You want a revolution? Go start one. The Democratic Party does not owe you or anyone jack shit. If it wants to write rules saying it will nominate the winner of American Idol, or the WWF champion, or the PGA champion, it can do that. You don't like its rules? Go the fuck someplace else.

That is all.

7. SD's are politicians who want to keep their jobs!
And pissing off half the electorate in the primary won't be good for them or the party.
