The Clintons are prepared to offer jobs, money, and anything else to superdelegates
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 08:07 PM by BluegrassDem
According to the roundtable on MSNBC. The Clintons will be doling out ambassadorships, jobs, or whatever it takes to get the SD's to side with them. Half of the SD's are not elected officials. They are party members who have spouses and kids that needs jobs, college admissions, etc. The Clintons are prepared to promise anything to them.

I can't imagine a more disgusting scene in Denver with Bill backstage promising jobs, money, or whatever to people to get them to vote for them. If that's how they have to win, then they have the morals of an alley cat. I would never vote for someone that achieved the nomination through such detestable means. Talk about politics at its worst.

3. What do you think happens at a brokered convention?
That's what it is all about. Everything is brokered.....air-time, convention speaking, ambassadorships, jobs of all natures.
The only way to avoid that is for the candidates to come to an agreement of some sort. I don't see that happening, unfortunately.

4. Of course this is pure hyperbole that will never see the light of day
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 08:16 PM by niceypoo
But that doesnt matter to Obamites, whose job it is to attack and smear on Obamas behalf whilst he stays, 'above the fray'

The "above the fray" line came from Bush in 2000 and 2004 while republicans attacked and smeared democratic candidates as per KKKarls instructions.

10. And if Chris Matthews says something nasty about a Clinton, it has to be true
It isn't like he hates them or anything.

14. None of the shit slung on Chrissy Matthews show deserves serious discussion....
He openly worships "manly" Republicans like McCain, Giuliani and Thompson and has talked about Bush like a love-struck middleschooler.

Sorry, it might turn out to be true, but considering the source I find it unlikely.
