Difference between Hillary and Obama Super Delegates.....

[KansasVoter]

Super Delegates suppot Hillary because of her political power and their fear of her down the road if they don't support her.

Super Delegates support Obama because they respect him and know he can actually change this country for the better.

That is why I support Obama!

1. Hillary is well known over Obama and he is getting most of them, so

are they for Obama or against Hillary??

9. Lois Capps' endorsement told a lot. She was a real Hillary loyalist. n/t

2. The Super Delegates with a brain support Hillary because she's by far the most competent & honest

4. Exactly right.

None of Obamas SDs can't pull away from him because they would be accused of being racist.

10. You nailed it, RichGirl

None of Obamas SDs can't pull away from him because they would be accused of being racist

Spot on :thumbsup:

3. And...

you had personal conversations with ALL the SDs and they told you this. Wow, I'm impressed.

5. No, common sense tells you no one respects her, they fear her.

6. Don't be fooled for a minute into thinking

that the SD's have anything but their own political futures in mind.

[KansasVoter]

7. Hillary's do.

8. Then explain why normal people support her?

The bottom line is some people prefer her to Obama and she appeals to them (even if you can't see how she can appeal to anyone with a brain).

Yes, her SD count is proportionally higher than her current vote count compared to Obama, but its definately reasonable that the people simply like her in both counts (and moreso in the SD count). Perhaps the reason she appeals to a larger portion of the SDs than real people is because they are exactly the type of people her appeal is most strong on (established centrist politicians). Then again, maybe she, with her contacts, just got to them early. Its tough running against an incumbant, and with a name like "clinton", that is sort of what is happening here.

12. Careful now. These jokers living here in La La Land wouldn't know what normal is

Some of them actually think that DU reflects what happens in the real world. Imagine that...

13. The only reason she has more SDs is they declared before

there was even a race. As to SDs not being able to switch because of racism, how do you explain the SDs who went for Obama when they didn't have to, and also the ones who switched from Clinton to Obama?

14. I think Obama leaning SD's are waiting for the "mathematically impossible" moment...

... and that's when a SWARM of them will endorse Obama.

There are many SD's that would endorse Obama but are holding off because either their state hasn't voted yet in their primary, or they voted for Clinton. If they endorse him now, then they will be accused of going against what many on his side should be the guiding principle for the SD's to vote on (who the people voted for). Now if their state has voted for Obama already, they have cover to go ahead and endorse him. But if that state hasn't, a better time for them to endorse him is when it is mathematically impossible for her to catch up in terms of pledged delegates. At that point the SD's then will feel justified in supporting Obama since the "nation has committed to supporting him through the pledged delegate majority", and that can override them voting for him contrary to what their state voted for. Enough Clinton delegates are already committing to her against the will of their state where they can justify this. They can say that they aren't going against the will of the American people whereas Clinton SD's voting against the voters of their state can't.

And since the Clinton SD's aren't likely to get to that "mathematically impossible" moment, many of them that want to go against their state might as well do it now if they are going to do it and not wait.

That's why I think the sea of remaining uncommitted is likely to mostly go to Obama soon, and at that point, we'll work on the GE campaign, and hopefully Clinton will see that as the point to make a graceful and honorable exit for party unity.

15. Obama will destroy her!
