While most people weren't watching today the supers were. How do you think they will react
Edited on Sat May-31-08 06:29 PM by LeviathanCrumbling
to the Michigan vote, 4 Hillary supporters voted against her interests.

I also wonder if Hillary's very visible supporters will influence them one way or the other.

1. Doubt It
They were a rude ill mannered mob who basically ticked the committee off. The days of threats and temper tantrums may be ending.,

3. I'm guessing they've already made up their minds, for the most part. nt

6. They had the RBC meetings on at the gas station today...
...I wouldn't be so sure that people aren't paying attention. And those "hard-working Americans" generally don't react all that well to ill-behaved bullies and buffoonery. She and her supporters (I speak of Clinton) didn't do herself any favors today, and their "within hours" flip-flop is just further demonstration that the Clintons only seem to fight their hardest when they stand to be personally advantaged from the outcome. Every other battle, on every other topic, it's political gimmicks and selfish motives.

10. that's my take too,
I didn't get to see all of it but what I saw and heard the Clinton positions did not seem reasonable, her supporters looked staged with faux outrage or outrage about "boys being mean to us". Ickes looke like a mean, stupid, bully, republican. He's appalled? Well, all the rest of us are appalled. He came across as exactly what Obama has been talking about, the old politics we need to get rid of.

If MI and FL are "happy enough" with the result, then she loses her argument that she is doing it to help the voters in those states. It truly is all about her at that point.

11. I agree with you. I think the Clinton supporters hurt their own cause.

7. Between Blanchard, Ickes, and the shouting Hillbots
I would guess they were less than impressed with Team Hillary.

8. The Supers see the momentum.
They'll be announcing for Obama in droves.
