1. OK

[my3boyz]

5. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The United States is not in Iraq! They are not headed towards Bagdad! hahahahahahahaha

* I do wish he was telling the truth about that though. We wouldn't be in this mess that we are in right now..............

[newmajority]

14. **Paging Photoshop Wizards**

Somebody with graphic talents needs to morph Baghdad Bob into some Team Hillary spokesperson. Unless they actually hired the real Baghdad Bob. And after hiring Mark Penn, that really wouldn't surprise me.

[TexasObserver]

17. Baghdad Bob is working for the Clinton campaign mgr?

What's that guy's name that running the Clinton Campaign?

Oh yeah, FAT BASTARD!

3. Actually, you're wrong. that's old

Obama now has over 200 delegates,dear. You're not counting all the SDs he accrued in the last 2 weeks or so. And don't forget, SDs are not fixed in stone. Only delegates won in the primary process are. Why the propaganda?

[William769]

8. Actually dear this is the official count so far (as official goes that is).

Clinton 232

Obama 158

23. But it's so not fair to do a direct quote from CNN when it doesn't favor Obama.

:rofl:

4. That only factoring in superdelegates ....

Obama is ahead in elected delegates.

[elixir]

12. As far as I know, superdelegates count.

[Debi]

25. Super delegates don't count until they vote

because they can switch up until the last minute.

[GoldieAZ49]

27. They are "soft" counts, they can change at anytime

[totodeinhere]

6. She is only leading because of super delegates.

If Obama can win more primaries and caucuses, many super delegates might change their allegiance to Obama.

[Zueda]

10. Though winning is certainly an important variable...

I believe that the polls showing Obama beating McCain will have influence. And one needs to ask themselves...Would you want to be downticket with Obama at the top or downticket with Clinton at the top?

[pampango]

20. That would make it interesting. If Obama hits the convention with more elected

and that's still an IF at this point, I wouldn't want to be a super delegate, most of whom are committed to Hillary at this point.

These delegates would have many considerations among them who they thought would do best in the GE and whom they felt most loyal to. For them to select the candidate with fewer elected delegates would, it seems to me, make unifying the party more difficult, though it would be fun to watch the debate between those in favor of democracy with a small "d" and those extolling the "wisdom" of party insiders. ;)

[ihelpu2see]

7. I dont think you are right... Those are not the sworn delegates... Including Super Delegates

is a bit like saying your almost pregnant. You can not explain how they count...

9. "Welcome aboard the Titanic. This is your captain speaking. Hillary is the frontrunner."

"Don't worry about recent polls. Obama is way behind. There is no need to be alarmed."

16. you really shouldn't be drinking this early

[K Gardner]

19. Evidently you don't realize how many SDs are uncomitted and that they CAN and DO switch their votes.

[GoldieAZ49]

28. 2008 Dem Convention Watch

shows all the superdelegates most are still uncommitted

even the ones that are can change, sit shows both

21. DC establishment? In with the old! The more the Dc Dem establishement

endorses Obama, it reminds me of old verses new. They endorsed Kerry and look where that got us. They need to shut up. They, (Dc Dem establishement) want more of the sameold, same old. I think they feel they can minipulate Obama back to more of the same old same old. Nice try!

[Little Star]

22. You go girl friend!!!!!

[GoldieAZ49]

24. Don't count the superdelegates so fast, they can change right up to the convention
