I suppose she's saying, choosing the nominee despite the states.
I'd also suppose she's exaggerating voting for McCain, people seem to be taking journalists so literally recently.

7. I think she meant if they decide against the voters choice
Who that would be is still a tossup, but Obama is making a good case he's the actual voters choice at this time.

2. If this race is decided by Michigan or the superdelegates going against the
popular vote, I can understand the feeling. Needless to say I wouldn't vote. A vote for McCain I'm not too sure of, though.

Randi's threatenting to vote for McCain and Ann Coulter threatening to campaign for Hillary.

8. There was an incident with an ancient artifact and a ritual in the desert.
Oh my god, they've switched bodies!

11. Well, if Hillary doesn't get her MI and FL vote I'm gonna vote for McCain
Gosh, McCain must be a closet dem getting all these votes? I'm really sick of the media telling me what to do. It never stops. Anybody remember how many votes she got in Florida? Michigan? I've forgotten.

6. Randi blames the Democrats for the Rethugs stealing Florida.

5. I heard about 3 minutes of that insane bitch today.
She said the reason super delegates should not vote is because it does not protect the interests of the Republicans and Independents who voted in the Democratic Primary.

When she fell down while back I wonder if she had an undiagnosed brain injury.

13. So now, Randi is an "insane bitch" because she won't worship Queen Hillary
and her "right" to unimpeded rule?

14. Its like 2000 - Selected - not elected.
If Obama is CLEARLY in the lead and they give it to Hillary - It would look SO bad. Im sure many of you would join me in a complete meltdown over what they did.

26. Right. In the future when you talked about the time the candidate got "selected" not "elected",
you would have to clarify if you were talking about 2000 or 2008 and whether the Republicans were to blame or the Democrats. :)

And I can't understand why any person would listen to her.

22. I listened to her a few times. After hearing a
few people call her and say "I love you Randi, I think you're great" and then either politely correct her on something or have a slight disagreement with her but not rudely and then hearing her scream at the person and chew their ass out, that was it for me. Jesus. You're right. I don't know how anyone can listen. She is right all the time and don't you dare disagree with her even a little bit.

20. She has a point: Party "royalty" should not usurp the will of "The People"
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 04:41 PM by ShortnFiery
:shrug:

On Edit: Even if Obama (who I'm for) was BEHIND and (the royal party insider) Super-delegates GAVE HIM the win, it would NOT be a vote by *the people.*

In my, and many people's opinion, the candidate who has the most PEOPLE DELEGATES (minus Super-delegates) should get The Democratic Nomination. The American People will know if "The Royal Supers" give this election to one or the other candidate ... then all HELL will break loose within our party.

No, Super-delegates are ROYALTY (mostly selected).

Super-delegates are NOT people too. :(

23. If she feels that way she should either sit out the election,
or write in a candidate. NOT vote for McCain! Jesus Christ! How is that helping the progressive movement?

24. If "The Super-delegates decide the Democratic Nomination, myself and many others
will leave The Democratic Party.

BTW please note that Donna Brazille has securely fastened her knee-pads and is doing an "about face" to her position last week. :shrug:

25. A decent guess says she doesn't have draft age children. McCain
will need more cannon fodder.

27. Well if Ms. Randi was a DUer and saying that BS, voting for McCain
she would be pushing up daisies.

I can't understand the fascination with McCain.

The other night "A Daily Show" showed clips of all the times McCain has been on the show. I couldn't believe it, even tho I had seen all these shows when they originally aired, it really struck a cord with me just how many times they had that JERK (McLame's favorite word) on their show:puke:

But, but, but, McCain's a maverick, he's a straight shooter, a moderate:rofl:......... Yeah right.

30. I'm with Randi if Obama has the lead in Pledged Delegates
And Hillary wins by getting Mich and FL seated as it stands now.

Or if either Hillary or Obama lead in Pledged Delegates and the Super Delegates overturn that.

I'm either not voting for president or voting for McCain.

I will not stand for 2000 type chicanery from the Democratic party!
