The End Of The Road?

As CBS News' Fernando Suarez reports, the Clinton campaign today emailed reporters regarding signing up for travel with the campaign through June 6th – three days after the final primary, and two days after many political observers expect Clinton to leave the Democratic race.

But while Clinton may be sending a signal that she is going to stay in the race beyond the end of the primaries and perhaps through to the Democratic National Convention, the leaders of her party have other ideas.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today said in a radio interview that he, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chairman Howard Dean "agree there won’t be a fight at the convention." CBS News' Michelle Levi reports that Reid said "simple math indicates that...Obama will probably have the necessary number" of delegates he needs to become the party's nominee by Tuesday, June 3rd, when the primaries wrap up.

The three party leaders are pushing uncommitted superdelegates to back a candidate sooner rather than later in order to avoid a convention fight, Reid said, in case matters aren't settled on Tuesday. Pelosi is reportedly already contacting superdelegates in order to convince them to declare their allegiance by next week.

I''ve created a spreadsheet with contact information for superdelegates who are from states or Congressional Districts which voted for Senator Obama, but who have not made any endorsement.

Please be polite and responsible when contacting these superdelegates. Only contact a superdelegate if he/she is from your state, or in the case of US representatives, your Congressional District.

The "bs" in your userid must stand for ***. You are gonna choke on the words in your racist post come November when Obama wins in a landslide. YOU are gonna be one sad little BOY when those same whites votes that helped the bi-racial MAN win the Democratic nomination also lead that same MAN to victory in the general election.

You listed 10 states that you think don''t "believe" in Obama. Why is it then that he will win the Democratic nomination? Most of the states he won are predominantly white. Thank goodness they are decent, honest, unbiased people.

By the way, half of those states listed by you are most likely going Republican in November while the other half will go to the Democratic candidate. Guess who that Democratic candidate is going to be? Don''t hurt yourself trying to figure it out.

Which will prevail, the sexism or the racism?

Any state that doesnt vote for Obama is racist and should be stripped of its votes.
LOL
