It’s the long awaited DEMOCRAT CIVIL WAR between the Establishment DC Democrats and the no-longer-useful useful idiots of the “New Left” (aka. The NUTROOTS) who actually believed all the self-serving political BS they were fed for 7 years....

I hope Chicago is buying Water Cannons....

If she can’t win primaries, she certainly can’t win the National.

Bingo.

Carry_Okie: I can see it now: Clinton arranges a hit on Obama, blames white supremacists, and stirs the black vote to "retaliate." Easy stuff really.

Thank you, Carry_Okie.

Political assassination under a "false flag" is, in fact, one of the oldest tricks in the world.

Unfortunately, many Americans have difficulty understanding such maneuvers. Honest, plain-speaking and law-abiding folk that we are, we find it difficult to comprehend the intrigues and deceptions to which ruthless men resort in pursuit of their ambitions.

I suppose it is better to be innocent than jaded. But naiveté ill prepares us for the realities of imperial power struggles such as we face today.

She’s already ahead in declared candidates... 56% to Obama’s 22%. This isn’t even a close race, yet the snow-job continues apace by the MSM.

Have they forgotten how to do anything but spin, manipulate, and propagandize?

If Obama looks like he will deserve the nomination, but the Clintonistas stand in the way, there will be warfare by the Dem’s black base.

No way. They'll stay on the "plantation." Look at the way they rolled over with Pelosi's appointment as speaker of the house, as well as the other major appointments they never got. Hillary, McAuliff, et all know that they have nothing to worry about. The race pimps will keep the people they claim to represent rooting for scraps, because it keeps them in thousand dollar suits.

It isn't hard; this whole scenario just reeks of Bobby Kennedy.

Unfortunately, many Americans have difficulty understanding such maneuvers.

Researching and writing a book on environmental regulatory economics taught me how the great game works. Reading Rabbi Antelman's books taught me who's doing it and why.

There are 842 super delegates who represent 40% of the votes needed to get the nomination. Right now Hillary has 169 delegates with 154 of them being super delegates. Obama has 66 delegates with 50 of them being super delegates. Edwards has 33 super delegates.

If Hillary uses the super delegates to leverage a win despite losing the delegate vote decided in the primaries, the Dem party will implode. Black and Hispanic voters comprise 30% of the Dem registered voters. If the black candidate loses despite winning at the ballot box, i.e., the primaries, you can bet that the Hillary will suffer the consequences during the general election.

I don't believe the super delegates are suicidal and would destroy the Dem party by nominating someone who couldn't win at the ballot box during the primaries. The only caveat would be if the delegate count from the primaries is very close with Obama being narrowly ahead. If Obama has a significant lead in primary delegates, the super delegates will also break his way.

What role for Democratic 'super-delegates'? Governors, senators, state chairs, and even Bill Clinton get automatic vote--Voters don’t choose the 842 unpledged “super-delegates” who comprise nearly 40 percent of the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

Soros has been donating to Obama, too.

This Soros son of a b***h makes me sick. He ran from Communism into the arms of the capitalist West and made his fortune here, in the style of the robber barons of yesteryear. Now he shows his gratitude by tearing down everything that made him what he is. The man is a human termite who ought to be sent back to Hungary in a packing crate on the deck of a tramp steamer.

Isn’t Bill Clinton a superdelegate?

It was interesting to click on this thread and see it was posted on January 7. Even more interesting is that as I was looking for the post that resurrected this thread and I saw my own post from Jan. 7. I stand by it fully.

While Billary stayed relatively even thru Super Tuesday she has fallen like a stone. After 10 blowouts in a row any idea of her invincibilty has been destroyed beyond recognition. Almost all of them have been double-digit victories with tonight no exception. The story of 80 districts registering ZERO votes for Obama in NY NY was so blatant as to swing quite a few Clinton acolytes. Then the stupidity of warming up the Super Delegate/MI-FL trump card early so as to establish the battle lines surely only strengthened the resolve of Democrats to head the Clinton's off at the pass. Because of the proportional aspects of the DEMs primaries the delegate wins do not reflect how decisive these victories are. But these huge margins, while a result of a myriad of factors, are, I believe, a message from Dem voters (minus the crossovers): We're gonna make these victories so lopsided that if you try to pull these proposed convention hijinx the roar will so audible that not only will a rejection be made but Billary will be challenged for her Senate seat in 2012 (which is a problem in itself).

Just wait until Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania. They will all swing towards Obama as to avoid a convention fight. It is the only way the electorate can voice their opinion on the subject. Hillary will be toast after March 4.
