Susan Sarandon argues flipping 300 delegates is just as likely as no indictment before the

[bettyellen]

Convention! She spoke of the indictment as an inevitable, ha ha. This was just on MSNBC, Tweety charitably called her view as "romantic".

1. Why does anyone pay any attention to actors,

when it comes to politics? I'll never understand that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Some actors become incredibly well informed ...

I was a grad student during Paul Newman's anti-nuclear weapon activism and he was incredibly well informed.

[JonLeibowitz]

9. Hillary does, especially when turning to them for ~$353,000 fundraisers for the money laundering

Politico has done some excellent reporting in this area; perhaps you can read their articles.

[YouDig]

12. Money laundering, what? I hadn't heard that one before! What else, drug dealing?

[tonyt53]

14. She drowned some puppies too - I'm sure of it.

[JonLeibowitz]

21. See post #20. This is well-known in the political press.

[libdem4life]

15. Some call it Pay to Play ... for future positive consideration.

Who needs drugs?

[JonLeibowitz]

20. Take it up with Politico and rest of the press (and take your head out of the sand too i guess)

Clinton fundraising leaves little for state parties

The Democratic front-runner says she's raising big checks to help state committees, but they've gotten to keep only 1 percent of the $60 million raised.

Some fundraisers who work for state parties predict that the arrangement could actually hurt participating state parties. They worry that participating states that aren’t presidential battlegrounds and lack competitive Senate races could see very little return investment from the DNC or Clinton’s campaign, and are essentially acting as money laundering conduits for them. And for party committees in contested states, there’s another risk: They might find themselves unable to accept cash from rich donors whose checks to the victory fund counted toward their $10,000 donation limit to the state party in question — even if that party never got to spend the cash because it was transferred to the DNC.

Sources working with the Hillary Victory Fund said the committee is sensitive to these concerns and that state parties were asked to submit names of donors they wanted to save for themselves.

Ripping the SDs as corrupt of course. Derp.

[riversedge]

29. Sanders camp embarrasses itself-all by itself. Susus S is the icing.

[geek tragedy]

5. nice surrogate, bernie nt

[Orsino]

6. Possible, barely, but likely?

Romantic is a kind term.

The thing that seems mostly likely to cause such a mass flipping is not something I think we should desire, and would be terrible for the party.

[qdouble]

10. Why the hell would people that Bernie demonizes swing to support him en masse?

[CorkySt.Clair]

18. #bernerlogic

[hrmjustin]

11. The fact that Sarandon wants to overturn the will of the Democratic Primary voters shows she

really doesn't believe in democracy.

[Skink]

17. Super Delegates are designed to back the winning horse

They can do that if they choose to.

[hrmjustin]

19. And for the most part they are going with the first place finisher.

To nominate the second place finisher is a way to destroy the party.

[Skink]

24. HRC is destroying the party.

[hrmjustin]

26. How dare Hillary get more votes and votes than Sanders!

[geek tragedy]

30. Sanders is the losing horse. He's losing quite badly nt

[dlwickham]

13. romantic=delusional?

[Stuckinthebush]

33. Indeed

Susan is way out there with the romance.

16. Susan Sarandon has done the Time Warp one too many times ...

22. Have you seen this?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- For the second time in three days, Sen. Hillary Clinton told reporters that the pledged delegates awarded based on vote totals in their state are not bound to abide by election results.

Sen. Hillary Clinton lags behind Sen. Barack Obama in the popular vote and in pledged delegates.

It's an idea that has been floated by her or a campaign surrogate nearly half a dozen times this month.

Sen. Barack Obama leads Clinton among all Democratic delegates, 1,622 to 1,485, in the latest CNN count. Among pledged delegates, Obama leads Clinton 1,413 to 1,242.

"Every delegate with very few exceptions is free to make up his or her mind however they choose," Clinton told Time's Mark Halperin in an interview published Wednesday.
"We talk a lot about so-called pledged delegates, but every delegate is expected to exercise independent judgment," she said.

Clinton's remarks echoed her Monday comments to the editorial board of the Philadelphia Daily News.

"And also remember that pledged delegates in most states are not pledged," she said Monday. "You know there is no requirement that anybody vote for anybody. They're just like superdelegates."

Clinton also made similar comments in a Newsweek interview published two weeks ago.

27. That "not pledged" part is scary

We could end-up with just about anyone as a candidate.

[grasswire]

28. she said it

and meant it.

23. Naderite millionaire says something. nt

25. They are going to need a lot more than 300.

More like 450.

32. Well we all know what happened to her ...

[Demsrule86]

34. Wasn't it enough that she helped elect Bush

Seriously, no revolution materialized but you helped kill thousands of people in America alone...go act , it is what you do...elections are not your strong suit.
