Whatever happened to the "50 superdelegates" who were supposed to endorse Obama like a month ago?
Wasn't it a big deal on DU or something?

9. Ha - I just counted too because they are all so close together - three threads within 30 minutes.

Along with a new sarcastic avatar. I must have missed something which is fine with me.

6. Not gonna answer my question eh? Well I probably wouldn't either if I were in your position.
Kind of embarassing to declare that 50 would endorse him in one day... and then nothing ends up coming out of it.

7. Kinda embarissing that Tonya's prediction that it would be over by Feb. 5 was wrong.
I can't argue with you because you are a complete partisan.

10. Well, the Clinton campaign does say that Fox is the most fair network.
So in your partisan view that is a very nice thing to say to me. Thanks :thumbsup:

11. Does Obama let Fox take his picture?
Or does he only deny the "little people" a chance to be near him?

13. Actually he refuses to appear on Fox. Hillary's on there all the time.
Only HRC thinks in terms of "little" and "big." Obama mingles with the people. This guy was a security threat. Same thing would've happened with HRC.

BTW, take a breather. If you post while really angry you may receive a earth pizza. Just a warning.

They are different shows.

22. He was interviewed by a "fox news" reporter
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 11:02 PM by Lirwin2
One would think "Obama doesn't appear on Fox" would refer to the NETWORK, but you guys change the goalposts so frequently it's hard to keep up.

26. Actual Information:
Interviewed by Major Garrett during Hannity and Colmes about Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Fox News, meanwhile, is still doing "Obama Watch".

33. There IS no "Fox News Show"
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 11:12 PM by Lirwin2
There is a NETWORK called "Fox News" which Hannity and Colmes are on. "Fox News" is owned by "Fox."


What exactly is Obama boycotting?

I don't know what is the problem people have with Fox. I really don't. If you don't like their viewpoints, don't watch, obviously.

However, it is a source for reaching a lot of Independents and moderates. They are voters we will need in the fall. Not having our Nominee appear on Fox is shooting ourselves in the foot. Hell, I think some of the anchors on Fox (and I'm not talking about bigmouth O'Reilly or that twit Hannity) give our candidates more of a fair shake than they get on MSNBC or CNN.

edit...typo

4. Clearly, you're angry. I'm sorry you're upset. Getting into arguments probably
won't make you feel better.

The "50 SD story" was denied by the Obama campaign the very next day.

He has done pretty well with SD endorsements since then.

I hope you feel better. Being angry sucks.

15. It was.
There have been many crazy things like that on DU. People predicting that Hillary would win Miss in a blowout, or Obama Texas in a blowout.. People claiming Edwards was about to endorse x, in x days. I remember one who in response to those rumors alledged that Hillary had her own 50 about to announce. I would think most here would take it all with a grain of salt.

He has gotten a good few since that started, however. Nothing like a one day tidal wave, but enough that the gap between him and Hillary is down to a 30 SD lead.

18. Well lets see. 12 have come out and endorsed Obama..

Whatever happened to investigative reporting? I don't think that reflects badly on Obama though, do you?

25. It has gotten to the point where I read these posts for amusement.
The back and forth has descended to kindergarten level, where some of the dumb comments are just laughable.

Its going to be awesome!

Seriously, they certainly haven't come out for Hillary.
