How to split the "superdelegates" "fairly", and still allow some of them to both endorse AND vote for their selected candidates?

Not complicated math.

All the states are proportional, so even in states Clinton won, unless TOO MANY superdelegates want to support Obama, just let the undecided ones go with Clinton until the ratios are right. That way Kennedy CAN vote for Obama at the Primary, who he has endorsed, AND Clinton "gets her share". That way it is still fair, the public is NOT overruled by the Superdelegates, and there is NO ISSUE!

Did you check their programs ? Maybe you''ll find answers
on their web sites. But about "concise" ... I wouldn''t mind they elaborate a little bit, you see.

If Obama is the Democratic nominee, this country wil have it''s first Biracial president. We are not going to elect a senior citizen with ideas of yesterdays imperfections as a base for tommorrow ideolgy. We want change in our country for our citizens. We want the United States to be what it''s suppossed to be for it''s citizens rather than for it''s businesses. Anyone that thinks that this world is safer without Saddam Husein is an idiot. Ask yourself how many U.S. troops where killed in Iraq when Saddam was living? How many radicle islamist insurgents wherein Iraq when Saddam was living? He was the only person that had a clear vision for stability in Iraq. We as a nation must learn that our system isn''t for everyone and not everyone is going to accept it nor should they have to. That is why McCaine will only win over Hillary. Nobody really wants Bill in the Whitehouse again.

"They are the only options, unless you are a true moron and want to continue the Bush years under McCain????

Exactly my point. You need to read ... "Bomb Iran" is the very concise type of McCain answer. I fear these people who have "simple" answers to problems.

"If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, then I''''m voting for McCaine. I will not be responsible for the Clintons return to Washington. We need a change. If that means voting for the same Bush like policies to stop the Clintons then so be it.

The problem is that McCain means another 4 years or less of the same Bush policy.

While I cannot attest to any inside information in politics, I see Huck and Obama as protest votes of the PARTY ELITES. Either would be a change in the direction of this country. Surprised the WHITE MALES want to vote for Obama, he is an ALPHA MALE and will be able to represent us well in the rest of the world. He certainly is a better choice than the Clinton TAG TEAM.

Don''t write Hillary off too quick. Remember, she has slick Willie in her corner.

Are You just an idiot, Bomb Iran?????. You might want to start taking your medication again. It is quite obvious you have no clear thoughts when you stop taking it. Are you afraid to hear some answers before Mr. Obama, or Mrs. Clinton get elected. They are the only options, unless you are a true moron and want to continue the Bush years under McCain????

We%u2019re going to sweep across Texas in the next three weeks, bringing our message about what we need in America: The kind of president that will be required on day one to be commander in chief, to turn the economy around,%u201D Clinton told a crowd of thousands in El Paso Thursday night. %u201CI%u2019m tested. I%u2019m ready. Let%u2019s make this happen."


Hilary: "yeah, I''''m tested and I''''m ready!! so what if I can''''t manage my campaign and my core group is splintering...so what if I can''''t manage the campaign money and have to lend myself millions to survive one month? I SWEAR I''''ll do better, when it''''s the entire country and YOUR money, I get to manage--honest"

You have a point Hilary. Bush had ''''experience'''' and it showed he ran all businesses he owned into the ground and had to be bailed out (then he did it on the macro scale with the country) now you are showing that with your experience--you can''''t call a war right, don''''t know how to back off of torture, can''''t release your finances and can''''t even run or direct a Presidential campaign. We gave Bush a shot--why not you?


Why not, indeed.

No, I was never a deserter. Obama hasn''t a frigging clue...and the Neocons will crush him! He can''t even articulate in debates with HIllary...McCain will toast him.

I hope HIllary gets the superdelegates and the nomination! Competence over buffoonery!

According to the DNC''s regulations, the superdelegates will decide it. That''s not a steal, that''s a win, tyvm!

Why did Obamma win? America Rejected the Clintons. The only hope they have now is to try and steele the election thru the secret delagates.

Would they stoop so low to try? Thats the real question

Obama has more legistrative experience than Clinton. Obama was elected to legistrative office in Illinois 1996 and serve in that capacity until he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, this means Obama has a total of 12 years legistrative experience. Hillary, who had never been elected to office until 2000 when she was elected to the U.S Senate, she has a total of 8 years legistrative experience. Obama has more legistrative experience...
