Super delegates should vote the will of the people

[satireV]

And I agree with Sen. Obama, that super delegates should vote according to how each state's primary results have voted.

Uh oh....

Gov. Bill Richardson is a super delegate from New Mexico but Sen. Clinton won the New Mexico primary.

Darn it.

1. and kennedy and kerry?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. Fuck that.

Get the crown!

3. You mean former presidential nominee Bill Richardson.

It's slightly different.

[satireV]

5. Gov Bill Richardson is a super delegate. period.

4. You're being too "technical".

[ClassWarrior]

6. They will, unless they get strong-armed.

NGU.

16. if they do Hillary will win

[ClassWarrior]

18. That's true. If there's any strong-arming, it'll be to Clinton's benefit.

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

19. So how about an answer to my question at post #15?

NGU.

7. I agree! NT

8. so Kerry. Kenedy and the 26 other Mass SD's belong to Clinton

15. Why not? Why does this talking point keep popping up? And what would it matter?

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

20. Hmmm... another empty talking point? Slogans not substance?

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

21. .

9. Yes, that would apply to Kerry and Kennedy as well...

and plenty of Hillary supporters in Obama-won states.

Probably a zero-sum game, so I say the Super-D's should be able to do some vote-trading - just to save themselves the stink of switching.

10. What *IS* the will of the people?

Since Caucuses are undemocratic and normal primaries can be fixed to a point?

[ClassWarrior]

17. Yes, how can we be certain of anything? How do we know this isn't the Matrix?

:eyes:

NGU.

11. IMO super delegates should vote the will of loyal Democratic Party members, those who were members

yesterday and who will be members tomorrow, not those who are here just for one election and one candidate.

12. Hate to confuse some of you guys with facts, but....

In Feb, Richardson thought the superdelegates should base their votes
on the "will of the people."
A few weeks later....oh well, not so much.

Welcome to the new politics, no more "same old same old."

:rofl:

[bigtree]

13. have you called or written them with that view. I think it helps.

Don't let the campaigns be the only ones influencing them. Let them, and everyone else know how you feel, because, the super delegates can vote however they please.

14. super delegates should vote according to how each state's primary results have voted.

You obviously listened to Hillary, not Obama.

:eyes:

22. Oh good, she's getting all of Texas' supers.

[satireV]

24. Obama was saying this back in January (eof)

[democrattotheend]

23. Obama never said that

He said that the superdelegates as a whole should not overturn the pledged delegates. He never said SD's should vote with their states...that would defeat their whole purpose.
