It's all down to the popular vote now ....
... at which point, the rules and delegates will be overturned, and the nominee decided, by party insiders.

(BUT ITS ABOUT THE POPULAR VOTE!)

This is the only time Hillary is transparent.

7. The goal post has moved again...
and the popular vote is the new firewall. All the people in the states that held caucuses, once again...do not 'matter'. I wonder if they're counting in Michigan and Florida..silly me, I'm sure they are. After all, those 2 rogue states matter more than the other 48 put together!

8. Someone commented yesterday about those small states Clinton pooh-poohed.
Funny she's not doing that w/WV and KY. These states must pass muster with her. Again, the spin is wild!

2. Interesting
A Ghost dissing transparency and downplaying the popular vote. Please give us 500 words on the non-importance of the popular vote. Put it in the context of democracy and don't forget, at least two references to the founding fathers.

10. Dont need 500 words
its the RULES. its never been about the popular vote, its about DELEGATES, and you know it.

if we want it to be about the popular vote, then change the rules, for 2012 (which we should).

6. Obama will have 2025 on May 20..and it ends there
The committee meeting on May 31 will be a "housekeeping matter"..

the SDs are tired of this shit..and I'm predicting that he will meet the 2025 before that 5-31 meeting..

Hillie can go to Puerto Rico for some R& R and have her beauty contest, but by then we will have all moved on..:)

9. They want all votes to count until the supers over turn the primary.
It is so sad to watch the Clinton lie machine ruin the minds of fellow Democrats. Hillary claims both, that she wants the votes to count at the same time she is working her best to make sure they don't count.

It is so Orwellian how she has the little cult following along like mice to a piper.

If they can USE the popular vote argumentso be it, if not, member of her campaign seemed to have planned to woo super dels regardless <http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/4/1/17559/60484> all the "principles" seems to come to a stop once you get to the top of her campaign
