So I take it those 50 superdelegates waiting in the wings backed out?

[Drunken Irishman]

Earlier yesterday it was reported Obama had 50 superdelegates ready to endorse, but not a mention on any of the major news channels. I guess this means, in light of last night's results, they're going to hold out until after PA?

Damn.

1. I read somewhere than an Obama aide

said it wasn't true...sorry I don't have the link. I wish it was...after last night though I read Hillary is telling all of them to wait and not committ to Obama.

2. Fucking lame.

This sucks. Obama won't win the nomination until late summer at this rate and by that time, McCain may be 20 points up in the polls.

3. FWIW, I heard last night that they were still committed to Obama but they

decided they would roll them out a little at a time to keep the momentum going. Whoever said this (I can't remember who it was) also stressed that none of them were "big name" Democrats. :hi:

5. Great idea a few at a time

then in a few weeks someone adding up the delegates will all of a sudden go, wow obama has more supers now than her!!

6. Yesterday he got Dayton's mayor, Rhine McLin, and

today he got Nick Rahall of West Virginia.

7. I'm going to make a rare prediction.. or maybe its just Hope Floating up inside

of me again. It seems the media hypno-fest with Clinton is nearing an end. Once again, they've been played for dunces and they know it. She dissed them nationally on SNL and in the debates and then used them to Naftatize Obama and spread her "pity me" and "shame on you" messages. Now, they know Nafta was a setup. They know Obama won more delegates in Texas. They see her supporting McCain. The Ken Starr thing was over the top. They have not only caught on, they are laughing at her. And that FREEZE she put on the supers? Once this haze wears completely off, and its starting to tonight, the Supers are quickly going to unfreeze themselves and list towards Obama quickly.

Too many are calling again for her to step down. Too many are predicting rift within the party. She has taken a positive and once again overreached.. and turned the tide against herself. MI/FL is turning into a national fiasco and embarassment because of her. Her campaign is an embarassment to the party. Obama is staying out of the fray and out of sight.. this may be a good thing for now.

And McCain is planning Spring time trips abroad to shore up support and to hold "mini summits". While we watch Hillary tear the party apart with her ego-driven machinations? I seriously predict the Party and the MSM and the Superdelegates (and maybe even OH and TX) are having buyer's remorse.

Something is getting ready to move.. a big shift toward Obama.

8. I hope you are right

I cannot stand that woman. The Clinton's time is up.
