Osama/Obama keeps chirping about "change". I guess Rep. Lewis decided Obama was right.....

What is more amazing to me is that John Lewis keeps getting elected to the House.....looking at his voting record and ridiculous public statements, it appears to me that he has a room temperature IQ at best......

Note to Hillary staffers: Hide the ashtrays.....

ROTFLOL. This guy can’t even make his own mind up and stick to it. “No her; No him”, “No her; No him”.

Ah, whichever way the fame and money are currently flowing will be where most of them are anyway.

Don’t these people ever feel ashamed; atleast very least of how stupid they look?

Don't count Team Clinton out too early. Remember, many pundits and commentators thought she was DOA after Obama's early wins.

Team Clinton knows how to play down and dirty, and they aren't going to let this big prize slip through Hillary's fingers without an all-out war, if necessary.

Latest delegate tally:

Pledged Delegates

CNN
2-12-08

FoxNews
2-14-08

RealClear
Politics

Republicans 1,191

McCain 827 843 825
Romney 286 288 291
Huckabee 217 242 240
Paul 16 14 14

Democrats 2,025

Clinton 1,211 1,220 1,237
Obama 1,253* 1,275 1,289

*Obama lost 3 from earlier CNN tally

All are equal.  Well, sort of.

All may be equal, but some are more equal than others.

Both the Dems and the GOP use 'extra' delegates.  Most of these 'extra' delegates are not elected by the general membership of the party.  Instead, they are appointed by other special party leaders and elites.  The Party really doesn't trust the general membership to do the right thing and select the Party's preferred nominee.  

So, both poltical parties have a bunch of 'extra' delegates.  The Dems call theirs Superdelegates, and they own nearly 27% of the total delegate count.  The GOP calls theirs 'uncommitted' delegates.  The GOP is a bit more equal because their uncommitted own only about 19.5% of the total delegate count.

Either way, those extra delegates are more special than the ordinary primary voters; they get two votes.  They get to cast their regular citizen vote for their desired candidate, and then they get to cast an extra vote at the convention for their special candidate.

Where did these special voters come from?  Most are from the ranks of the elite within each political party -- the leadership, the state chairpersons, the special people.

That was before his district went overwhelmingly for Obama. One can hardly criticize him for deciding that he needed to represent the will of his constituents. That’s one of the reasons why I think the bulk of the supers will wind up in the Obama camp.

When the bald headed one (who marched with MLK) signs on during Black History month,the trouble is beginning.

Every word he utters is a slur
