[newmajority]

[olkaz]

20. Keep saying it, never going to happen.

This thing is winding down, and we'll have a candidate.

This "Unity ticket" is just a distraction from the process.

24. Why would Obama shackle himself to a loser like Clinton?

[NJSecularist]

10. Good for Hillary!!!

Very good!!

[Tellurian]

13. Great!

I imagine the Obama Camp is wanting to keep up the appearance of a Strong Front, thinking this latest scandal will blow over..

I doubt Obama's campain will regain it's former newness and star power. Obama has run the dirtiest campaign against Hillary. A far cry from the "new" squeaky clean politics he professed would be the hallmark of his campaign. Fizzle..shnizzle.

[The Doctor.]

25. BWHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA!! "Obama has run the dirtiest campaign"?!?!

Oh dear!

You probably don't realize that's an admission that you've simply forgotten the last 8 years of Republican tactics so that you can tell yourself a patent lie.

I'm just amazed how how well people can rewrite their cognitive protocols, it's always been fascinating to me. To be able to tell yourself that 'Obama has run the dirtiest campaign' shows a strong willingness to want reality to conform to your desires.

Unfortunately, here in reality, you don't have any instance you can point to which demonstrates that Obama has run a 'dirtier' campaign than anyone.

I truly hope you come back to your senses after this is all over.

[Tellurian]

29. I feel very badly for you..you are a pathetic loser..

who will lash out at anyone who isn't an Obama supporter..

[The Doctor.]

30. No dear... I'm pointing out your lack of rationale. You may call it "lashing out",

but it's merely an observation.

You could choose to demonstrate the basis for your 'dirtiest campaign' claim, but you do not. It logically follows that you can not do so.

So instead you choose to "lash out" at anyone who points out that you are not grounded in reality.

Shame, really.

Feel as badly as you like, but realize you do so more for yourself when accusing others of 'lashing out' at you.


Why don't you choose to defend your claims?

Because you can't.

That, my dear, is what is truly sad. Good luck to you, and I hope you can become rational again one day.

14. Very nice.

16. SORRY ONLY TWO HAVE COMMITTED FOR CLINTON

This is from your link


The state Democratic Party today elected at-large delegates for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the allocation of which was based on a rather complicated formula dervied from the Feb. 5 primary results.

In addition, four new unpledged at-large superdelegates were elected: AG Andrew Cuomo, state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields and Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo.

Both DiNapoli and Cuomo have endorsed Clinton. Not sure about Fields and Arroyo - will updated

18. Alright, its all good!

21. But the title of your post is incorrect and is not supported by the facts

Not your fault but Mark Halperin didn't bother to read his own source.

[The Ghost]

26. I wasnt trying to be misleading

I support Obama, but just went with the headline from Halperin. Reading the article, its still confusing! HAHA!

[grantcart]

19. Please edit your title to read 2 supers

your original source based on your link states only 2 have endorsed Clinton so far

22. grantcart, I think he's making a pretty safe assumption

There's **very** little chance these guys break for Obama.

I know it's not rock-solid at this point, but it's not really a good point to argue.

27. wong, if you look at her website, she pick up all 4 SD.

our New York Automatic Delegates Back Hillary
Cuomo, Fields, DiNapoli, Arroyo named NY Automatic Delegates Today

The Clinton Campaign announced the support of four New York automatic delegates today, after the New York State Democratic Committee elected its automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

The automatic delegates include New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and New York Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo.

28. that was added at 11:32 after various reports had partial reports, including the OP

[grantcart]

23. Another example of the Clinton campaign screwing up a big opportunity

Obama already announces the 3 add ons for IL even though they won't be official until Monday

Clinton's campaign should have had a huge announcement. Now the press is wondering if 2 of them are even for her


I am sure that it will be all 4 for Clinton but what campaign incompetence on what should have been a big announcement.
