People whose loyalties have once been bought with position can be counted on to do it again.

Spot on! Loved your whole post but that last line really highlights the changing loyalty aspect. It reminds me of the Seinfeld opening bit: "Some people cheat on the person they were originally cheating with. Which is kind of like a bank robber demanding money from a teller, "Give me all your money" then turning to their fellow robber and saying, "Now give me all your money too."

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I just provided you with the purpose of the organization and its mission. I am not trying to convince anyone not to vote for McCain.

Now you're just flat out lying. I'm finished with you.

I don't buy the scenario where Obama goes into the convention with a lead in pledged delegates and then the Clintons steal it away with the superdelegates.

Not that I would put it past the Clintons to try but the Democratic Party would be even stupider than I thought if they allowed that to happen. It would ruin their convention and alienate millions of voters nationwide who now see Obama as the future of their party.

As for the super delegates, well the Democratic Party can do some serious arm-twisting too. They don't owe the Clintons anything.

Makes you wish for the days when, if they were bought, they stayed bought.

LOL. You just can't handle the truth.

Obama had better hope he wins everything between now and Denver. If he has less than a two-hundred delegate lead going into the convention, he won't win the nomination.

Considering this hypothetical, if B. Hussein Obama wins the popular vote, and looses the nomination because of Rodham/Clintonian inside super-weasels...

(And, I'm absolutely hoping it does not occur)

...might there be worries of, ahem, some forms of civil unrest among the disenfranchised Democrat electorate?

The perfect RAT storm is still setting up. Obama and his supporters get screwed out of the nomination by the Evil Witch and her Super Delegates, causing most of them to sit this one out come November.

Exactly!

BS. The Dem bigwigs [read superdelegates] are not going to vote for Hillary if she winds up second to Obama thru the primary process. The Dem party would split apart and destroy the enthusiasm and momentum built up by the Obama supporters. Stealing the election from the people would be political suicide for the Dem party, especially when the victim is an African-American, the Dems most loyal constituency. If Obama emerges from the primary process as the top vote getter in terms of delegates, he will get the nomination.

Either way, a great deal of Democrats are going to be very angry and sit the election out.

The pro-Hillary people are not going to take their 'idol' losing gracefully and support Obama.

I agree, the Obama hype is media generated. If you look at the math, he needs to increase his winning perchttp://www.freerepublic.com/perl/post#help see help for more informationentages and cannot afford a single slip up.

The fly in the ointment is that if OBama goes to convention with a delegate lead, and the supes give it to Clinton, there will be hell to pay among the rank and file. The Obamaniacs are not your normal 'rats --they are potential insurgents.

The superdelegates represent the elected and appointed establishment of the party. The Clinton's have spent the last sixteen years putting most of them in power.

Should be REAL interesting at the rat convention, when Hillary is anointed and Obama is put to the back of the bus.

I bet Howard Dean is crapping his pants wondering what he will do to keep the convention from exploding.

Didn’t Hilly just fire her campaign manager? Or did the lady quit?

Hillary: “All calves and no ankles”

[harpo11]

Well, HIllary is all fat... no mettle.
