1. This is very big.... much bigger than the +2 in SDs for Obama....

This is a "rat jumping off the ship".

[tekisui]

4. A leading rat. One of the first to endorse Hillary.

A big one to switch.

[tekisui]

2. It was reportedly not lobbied for by Obama, as well.

I will KNR every thread about this Big Switch.

I am looking for more to follow.

[Triana]

7. It's very telling....in a good way.

Any switches from Obama to Clinton yet?

[tekisui]

9. None in the past month or so.

[baldguy]

3. How many is that in the last week?

10? 12?

For every one Obama gets, Clinton needs four.

[tekisui]

6. 11 for Obama since PA, net of 5 for Hillary since PA. (6 minus 1).

[K Gardner]

5. Great way to start the day :-)

8. Couldn't have happened in a better state at a better time...

...keep 'em comin'

[WeDidIt]

10. Super Delegate Gap NOW 17!!

Obama 243

GOBAMA!!!!

11. This is the nightmare the Clintons were worried about

2-3 more of these and they are finished.


This is why Cariville attacked Richardson so viciously.

12. K & R

13. Hillary is being undermined by her own party. Trying to stop her

before the primary is over. Still SDs can switch back at any time. We are taking names and watching who is trying to hand the nomination to Obama on a silver platter. There are just as many of us out here are there are Obama supporters who will be very angry if the nomination is given to Obama without giving a fair chance to Hillary to finish the race.

14. The Clintons have shown no loyalty to the Democratic Party -

how can they expect it in return? It's always been about them. Where were they when other Dems needed them? Where were they when Gore and Kerry ran? The Clintons might have assumed all these years that the mantle of the Democratic Party was theirs but they haven't stepped up and led the way they should have once Bill left office.

This is the consequence.

15. Perfect analysis

thank you.

[Avalux]

21. You're welcome!

:hi:

[WeDidIt]

16. Can Hillary take 75% of all remaining votes?

That's what it wold take for her to win, you know.

[AllentownJake]

19. Let me know how that works out for you

Seeing he is a party official and not an elected office holder. She loses the nomination her days as a party big wig are over.

[cali]

20. Why not ask why someone who endorsed HIllary on the day she

formally announced, feels compelled to switch? He made clear that he wasn't lobbied at all by the Obama campaign. Why did he switch? What do you think was his motivation? Why would he want to hand Obama the nomination on a "silver platter"? How is switching not giving her a fair chance? As you say, SDs can switch at any time. If an Obama SD switched to Hillay, would you think it was unfair and an orchestrated attemp to deny her the nomination?

And your impotent, angry threat about taking names, is just silly. What on earth do you think you and your cohorts could do to Joe Andrew?

Maybe you should grow up about all this.

23. How can it be "given" to Obama?

He's ahead in almost every possible way.

[ClassWarrior]

25. No, Obama's just "closing the deal."

:rofl:

NGU.

[Triana]

27. What do you mean? The Republicans have been very supportive of Hillary n/t

[Spazito]

29. Hillary wanted to end the race Super Tuesday, doesn't that

bother you??? She AND her supporters would have been very happy had that happened and both you and I know that.

It is blatant hypocrisy, imo, to even ask the question you did:

"are there are Obama supporters who will be very angry if the nomination is given to Obama without giving a fair chance to Hillary to finish the race."

and you know it.

[ClassWarrior]

31. No answer of course.

Isn't cognitive dissonance a wonderful thing?

NGU.

[Spazito]

33. There never is any response to the issue raised in my post....

showing a prime example of "situational ethics", they know it, can't defend it so they try to ignore it hoping it will go away, it won't.

[blm]

34. Clintons have undermined and sabotaged every other Dem leader who opposed BushInc for two decades.

You are CLUELESS to those you show loyalty - unless, of course, you are a closed government Democrat who sides with secrecy and privilege of the powerful elite - and in that case, you know exactly why you side with Clintons.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

17. Awesome!

Things continue to roll in for Obama, despite the Wright mess. The only people who think it's an issue are in the media because they get bored talking about the actual issues. The rest of the country sees it as a stupid distraction. In the end it's not going to have hurt Obama much, if at all.

18. Let me know when a Superdelegate switches from Obama to Clintn

And I will wait right here. :popcorn:

[Bigleaf]

22. More Great News! K&R

:toast:

[Hope And Change]

24. K & R!

:kick:

[TragedyandHope]

26. There's no stopping us now!

:kick:

[knixphan]

28. GO JOE!

[Life Long Dem]

30. This must be going over good with the Clinton's.

Probably like Richardson's departure from the Clinton's. Hey but don't forget, it is looking better for Clinton today than it did a week ago! :silly:

[libnnc]

32. I wonder if Bill will call and cuss him out in the middle of the night?

That's his thing, right?

Kick
