Apparently they used to vote separately on the VP at the convention back in the 60''''s and stuff, but it later evolved into one the nominee could make so he could balance out his ticket and find somebody he works well with.

I already smell a rat - we have no way of holding these Superdelegates accountable. If Hillary ends up on Barack''''s ticket, I may just cross the aisle and actually vote Republican . . . then again they''''re so dirty too. Hopefully if the Superdelegates try to force this choice onto him, Barack will have the freedom to be able to speak out and let us all know what''''s going on in the back rooms and what he''''s being threatened with.

Super delegates only existed after Carter. After him, the DNC decided they needed a way to nullify the vote of the people if the party did not agree with the choice. Carter was a choice of the people and as punishment, the established DNC refused to aid him in most ventures even though they controlled both Houses in Congress.

Agree this could happen. And ticket could be just as strong. I said what I said because I think the math seems to be favoring Obama, and in the end, the delegates are the only thing that matters.

-Are you saying Walking-LiarBush is older than lesbiian-grandad DikcCheney? This seniority thing is non-sens!

HOw odd...that Democrats so readily accept this perversion of "one man one vote and would let Superdelegates not only have their vote but then vote again with a power that implies hundreds of thousands of votes--and this does not faze them--even when they learn that these votes are up for sale to the highest bidder.

And I remember when buying votes was illegal and corrupt--what kind of Democrats are in the Democrat party these days?

chitown639, you know what''s really scary is the thought that maybe Hillary with her superior back-room sway knows that she won''t be able to get a majority of the superdelegates to vote against the public. But she CAN probably persuade them to threaten Barack that he will get their vote ONLY IF he makes Hillary VP (with some trumped up excuse like it''s for the ''good of the party'' when really could very well be for self-interest). And if he doesn''t bow to their threat they will give their vote to Hillary who has already vowed to make him VP.

Apparently they used to vote separately on the VP at the convention back in the 60''s and stuff, but it later evolved into one the nominee could make so he could balance out his ticket and find somebody he works well with.

You know, it''s obvious the Clinton Campaign is getting desperate when they''re new strategies consist of A) Irrationally attacking Obama, and B) Suggesting that Obama''s going to be her VP. All of the sudden both her and Bill have been campaigning the "dream ticket." They''re obviously acknowledging his popularity by kind of saying, "well hey guys, if you vote for me, you''re kinda voting for him too!"

mrmazerati.. Due to the seniority, the ticket will most likely be Clinto/Obama. This will give 4 to 8 years of seasoning for Obama before he runs again as President.

If Obama joins with Hilary in any way--he will be tainted--and she needs "seasoning" 35 years with the Children''s defense fund is not good enough to be President---nor do we count time spent as Bill''s wife or mistress as applicable. If it is--then she already has had her 8 years and needs to not run. LMAO

Goat forget the tax returns. I''''m sure that they use some pretty smart cpa''''s and atty''''s. They probably dont use H&R Block down at the mall. I dont look for anything bad from their return, which by the way they have until April 15 to file.

When Hilary was running for the seat from NY there WAS something bad in her tax returns....somehow she neglected to report a 200 thousand dollar donation and claimed she barely knew the people who gave it. It was Peter Paul and Stan lee. Her campaign manager got prison time for that ommission and Hilary is still not off the hook. A judge appt by Bill dismissed the case but it is back and reopened in Ca. It seems some video has shown up which proves Hilary was right cosy with the donors after all and indeed might have engaged in more campaign financing games....stay tuned, but don''t presume there can be nothing in those returns. Given the way the Clintons have blasted others who did not divulge returns in a timely manner--one has to wonder...
