Has Hillary gained any supers?
Ok, OK, OK... she won PA. We all knew that she would ... even though many of us (read *I*:blush:) hoped that there would be some sort of miracle and Obama would come within a point or two...

I heard that she had already started with the calls last night trying to convince some supers to come out for her... have any done this? Have any superdelegates committed to her as a result of last night's win?

1. So, now it is ok for the SD to take the nomination from the will of the people?
You guys and your double standards. I can't keep up!

6. quit lying
she is not ahead in the popular vote even if you count MI and Fl

"When voters everywhere were watching the returns of, say, Kansas on Super Tuesday, most of them naturally assumed that Barack Obama won 27,172 votes to Hillary Clinton's 9,462. But those aren't voters they're counting, they're really just more delegates. County delegates. The county delegates represent an undefined amount of peoples' votes, depending on how many people arrive to the caucus and how many county delegates are assigned. This number could be anywhere from 5 to 100 people and beyond.

Since there is no exact number of how many votes are actually represented in a caucus, let's just round it out to 20 voters per delegate, out of morbid curiosity. That means each delegate, on average, represents about 20 people, and we will multiply the final tally by 20.

Therefore, in Kansas, Barack Obama gained 543,440 votes to Hillary Clinton's 189,240 votes. This is a far wider margin of victory than Clinton supporters would like to admit, but decidedly more accurate"

I'm sure you are not stupid just dishonest

9. bwahahaha. the will of the people? too funny
sorry, hilly's still cooked. and I've always said SDs have the right to endorse whoever they want for whatever reason. And Governor Henry endorsed him today. There will be more in the coming days. SDs don't like the bullshit rightwing crap hilly's been indulging in. She has no one to blame but herself.

12. Shameless self bump here....
Sorry for doing this, but I just got home and wanted to bump this to see if there had been any movement on the supers for Hillary.

And if there haven't been any, does that seem incredibly significant to anyone else? I mean if there were any out there that were planning on coming out for her, wouldn't this be the time for them to do it? Correct me if I'm wrong...
