How does anyone think that the Super Delegates will vote against a guy raising $40 Million a month??
Sorry!! Sometimes i just sit here ans wonder how anyone can think Hillary still has a shot!

How crazy are people to think that any Super Delegate will vote against a guy raising that much money and has the delegate lead!

George Carlin Sad it best:

"Think about how stupid the average person is, them remember, HALF of them are stupider than that!!"

1. Hillary was in line for the throne!
Was.

I think many superdelegates have that mindset that Hillary was annointed. Some are flustered in knowing what to do now. Of course many have crossed over to Obama.

4. Some (SD's) are flustered in knowing what to do now.
Like deers in the headlights.

Good old Democratic fortitude at its finest!

6. You're damned right she was. I found this photo of her taken February 5th.
Her campaign is trying to keep this photo hidden.

10. I saw some footage
of what I assume was Obama before the SFRC hearings on Tuesday. He sure seemed to have a lot of FRIENDS. Back slapping, yucking it up. I think the SD's will probably go with who they think will win the nom. So I see your point.

11. That's how it should be. Why go for a candidate waiting for disaster to strike
in order to win? Will each congress person have to wait for their own disaster to win, with Hillary on the ticket? :shrug:

12. They won't, unlike DUers, super delegates haven't forgotten how Kerry lost last time
And a large part of it was due to a money disadvantage. Another part of it was his policy wonkishness. People talk about how Obama's voters can't tell them what "Hope and Change" actually mean. George W Bush's voters probably couldn't tell you why they think he would be a better commander-in-chief, they just "felt it".

People are so worried about nominating another McGovern that they've forgotten it's 2008 and not 1972. Obama is a 180 degree difference in style from John Kerry and that's exactly what we need to win in 2008.
