thepage.com has announced Hillary has picked up 5 superds:
Clinton nabs four New York supers — Attorney General Cuomo, Comptroller DiNapoli, former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields and Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo. She is also expected to get Connecticut AFL-CIO President John Olsen.

Go hill :bounce: :hi: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause:

And I bet one or more also had already endorsed her.

This is just spin, trying to blunt Obama's endorsements.

This was announced way early.

Plus two of the four NY supers have not endorsed.

:)

Go Hillary, don't let the turkeys get you down!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

shit.

:shrug:

:toast: :applause:

I mean, better a Clinton to them than an actual Democrat.

be Clinton supporters.

Next week, Obama will get 3 add-ons from Illinois.

Hooray that the SD's are declaring!

2 from MD
1 from SC

over the weekend

Isn't that exactly how Obama played it dirty against Hillary's New York Automatic Delegates? Fair is fair. Tell Halperin that. Give him a link to the post below that attempts to mock Hillary, OK? :evilgrin:

Obama's ineptitude is becoming obvious throughout the country to voters who want a Democrat for their next president. Obama's faulty judgment with Rev Wright is like a beacon pointing to his lack of experience. Obama sat in front of this Pastor every Sunday for 20 yrs soaking up all the spew this racist Pastor could dish out without making a move. When he did make his move a few weeks ago in Philly with his lamented speech, rationalizing and excusing Wright's behavior as a member of the family. It wasn't enough. And now it's too late.

Obama has wasted so much of everyone's time explaining his personal mistakes that his indecisiveness will affect his viability as a candidate seasoned enough to assume the role of The Leader of the Free World. He's left himself and the Democratic Party wide open to Republican attacks if he is our Dem Nominee. We have no way to defend his actions. How can we be competitive with Republicans when Obama has put voters behind the 8 Ball?

From Lynn Sweet:
Obama picks up 3 more Illinois superdelegates: Daley, Currie and Stroger.
WASHINGTON--When the Democratic Party of Illinois meet next week to finish filling out the delegate slate, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will pick up three more superdelegates, according to Steve Brown, a spokesman for state party chair Michael Madigan, who is also the speaker of the Illinois House.

That's because the three appointments are all pledged to Obama: Mayor Daley --he shares strategist David Axelrod with Obama and brother Bill, the former Commerce Secetary is on the Obama team; Illinois House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie (D-Chicago), a Hyde Parker who lives near the Obamas'; and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.

Hillary got the ct super also, bringing it to six

bill from ct

From Mark Halperin, The Page:
Net gain: Obama 5, Clinton 4*
Clinton nabs four New York supers — Attorney General Cuomo, Comptroller DiNapoli, former Manhattan Borough President Fields and Assemblywoman Arroyo — after state elects its add-ons.
She is also expected to get Connecticut AFL-CIO President John Olsen.
Obama gets endorsement of Texas DNC member John Patrick, who cites candidate’s record on trade, fighting for working class.
Also expected to pick up three prominent Illinois supers — Mayor Daley, House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger — as the state finishes filling out its delegate slate.
And adds former DNC leader Joe Andrew.
*Superdel Andrew leaves Clinton camp for Obama, subtracting one from her day’s total

bill from ct

.....somehow that just doesn't have the same pull as if they would have been from, let's say, South Carolina or Vermont or something........ New York, duh - given she is the Senator of New York, how would it look if she couldn't get their endorsement?

It's more like the House and Senate. The idea behind that setup is the the House is directly responsive to the will of the people -- hence the two year terms. The Senate was designed to be more concerned with the good of the country and other factors that the people weren't considering. They weren't supposed to be pulled one way or the other by the people's fascination of the moment -- hence the six year terms.

Those differences meant a lot more before tv, internet, airplanes, etc. But the idea was a two-stage process where the participants decided on different bases.

This is a primary to pick a candidate for the party. The party can do it pretty much any way it wants. There is no constitutional guarantee for participation in the party process.

Anyone who doesn't like it can run for party office and change it.

It's like the committee that chooses where the Olympics are held. Whoever provides the best prostitutes wins!

If a state has a process for choosing how their SDs vote, fine, but it should not be up to the individual SD. I've been saying this for MONTHS.

NAB: Main Entry:

They apparently wouldn't come willingly.

Congratulations, Hillary. You are wanted and needed as our next President!


God bless America :patriot:

:woohoo: :applause:

So 5 SD by night.:woohoo:

She needs 70% of the vote in the rest of the contests to pull even. she's not going to get it. Even then she would need the supers to hand it to her. she will enter the convention down 125 and will need the supers to overturn the will of the voters over a 6 month period. that is the only way she can get it, by crook.

Think long and hard about that. She is damaging the party badly already and it will only get worse. I guess that is what you want, which calls into question your motives.

Its like cheering for the titanic to not sink....you cant bend the laws of science... the race is over and has been for awhile now.

he castigated Wright this latest time. Every single thing Obama and his wife, his super delegates and followers, his blog-cults and news outlets in the tank for him, every single thing has been because Obama is doing this nose dive thing in the polls.


If Obama and his herd thought for even a second there is no way Hillary can win, all of them would be making nice. That they are in meltdown mode instead is pure proof they are scared to death Hillary can in fact pull this off. What is happening off camera with folks like Kennedy Kerry can only be imagined.

Obama and his entire cult are scared to death.

When Obama and his cult start playing nice to the millions of Democrats they are now trying to disenfranchise, then I will know they believe they have won.

Don't you mean fomer DNC and super-super delegate Joe Andrew whose defection signals that the Hillary Rodham campaign is in its final throes?

Yes, yes you do.

and are only showing how little know know.

BTW - 5-1=4. I know Math is hard for some HillFans, but it's something you should really get used to.

1 (Cuomo) + 1 (DiNapoli) + 1 (Fields) +1 (Arroyo) + 1 (Olsen) = 5 MINUS 1 (Andrew) = 4.

You're welcome.

Great!!

fox announced just now. Go hill!:bounce:

Great!!

K&R

Not likely though.

Dems in the White House in 2009!

the headline is quote Net gain: Obama 5, Clinton 4* unquote


by cherry picking half the story you have no credibility.

And now everyone can go here and see who has quoted your source correctly

http://thepage.time.com/2008/05/01/thursdays-super-battle/

Only report half the story or half the poll results - its easier to con themselves into thinking they really are winning!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: FIFTH SUPERDELEGATE TODAY ENDORSES HRC:

Connecticut Automatic Delegate John Olsen Endorses Hillary
Connecticut automatic delegate John Olsen announced his support for Hillary Clinton today.

“Hillary Clinton is the champion working families need,” Olsen said. “She is a fighter and a doer who will stand up for the middle class and deliver quality, affordable health care for every American. She is the strongest candidate to beat John McCain in the general election and win back the White House.”

A DNC member since 1996, Olsen is President of the Connecticut AFL-CIO and former Democratic State Party Chair.


another one just endorse her.:popcorn:

Some Supers are realizing that come June 15th, Obama won't be electable.

Wow.

The traitor Richardson must be peeing in his pants. This is personal with me as a half hispanic. Richardson is a traitor.


I'll vote Obama if he is the nominee.. but my friends in NM will NEVER vote for Richardson again.


Richardson is a traitor through and through. President 44 won't forget it, even WHEN she forgives it. Hillary is kinder than the Latino community. My father says he will never forgive that fucker Richardson. Much like the African American community won't forgive Bill Clinton. Tough Shit.

How did this become about Richardson? If you read through the thread, the actual story is that Obama picked up 5 and Hillary nets 4, because she lost a SD who switched to Obama.

and repeats the incredible slur of Judas, so I guess he is taking this personally somehow.

and if that is not enough


can't figure out if he is really from New Mexico or like his profile states Tennessee.

Because you can't realize that a Latino from TN has friends in NM is not my problem.


Take remedial English.

I'm part Latino and I can respond to posts correctly.



And f**k you for not realizing that Jesus is a popular name in the Latino community.


My name is Jesus Jeff (Lastname). Make fun of it all you want. You are pathetic.

at a loss for words? I'm still angry at you for saying I CALL myself "Jesus"

and your lies that I am lying that I am from TN and I have friends in NM (how ever could I have friends from another state? *SHOCK*)


guess what grantcartRACIST... I have family in Mexico (the country).


Am i a traitor to the USA now? Could I possibly have family in Mexico and still live in the US?

She is the light of my life and she said I was nasty to you.


I'm sorry.


Our goal is a Dem in '08.


You couldn't have known that my real name is Jesus.


Take care, friend. Sorry I was angry.

I believe Obama has narrowed her SD lead to 18... last I heard.

Hillary 280 Obama 249 if the DNC does not screw 2.4 million innocent Democrats.

An excellent and non-biased source:
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html

Today:
Hillary +5, -1 for a total of 4
Obama +5

A net pickup of 1 for Obama, with 9 more off the table.

to 18. And secondly the states screwed themselves. It'll be worked out. The delegates will be seated. Don't you ever tire of that victim act?

Go Hillary!

The add-ons are to be expected, they count though.

The rest of the add-on schedule should give Hillary about another 20+/-.
