In a blog entry by Desparado featured by Google News (4/21/2008):
Since Hillary Clinton cannot possibly catch Barack Obama in the number of pledged delegates needed to win the nomination, her only hope for victory lies with the superdelegates. According to AP, the count right now stands at 258-232, advantage Clinton. There are 250 who are still uncommited and 60 more yet to be selected.
AP surveyed the uncommitteds and this is what they found:
"AP reporters across the nation contacted the undecideds and asked them how they plan to choose. Of those, 117 agreed to discuss the decision-making process.
*About a third said the most important factor will be the candidate who, they believe, has the best chance of beating Republican John McCain in the general election.
*One in 10 said the biggest factor will be the candidate with the most pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses.
*One in 10 said what matters most is who won their state or congressional district in the primary or caucus."
There are two major things I’d like to point out here. I refer to Democrats as members of the “Democrat” party because I don’t think they believe in democracy. They have no problem with going against the will of the people and they don’t have a problem with activist judges because those judge accomplish the leftist agenda that a democratic vote would never accomplish. As Desparado points out, only one in ten of the superdelegates that responded were concerned with the popular vote among democrats.
Secondly, the democrats set up their own primary according to their will apart from conservative or republican influence. They can’t even run an effective primary. How can they be expected to run this great nation?
