Superdelegates- vote however they please, could very well determine who is the next president if you believe the next repub has no chace of winning.

Sounds a lot like the electoral vote doing what they fucking please with their ability to vote faithlessly/unfaithful based on what the elctorate wants(granted it rarely happens, but it does)

in reality our votes mean almost nothing in a presidential race do they...we vote for someone else to vote for our bloc.

It is more important in voting for a delegate than a candidate on many ballots, how many people were confused on this and didn;t vote delegates, rather only the candidate?

Can the government make it any more confusing for some people, as well as our forefather were pretty fucking clever in basically making a loophole to make the popular vote worthless(ask Al Gore on that one). I understand why and all the reasons these emasures were put in place, just seems a lot like this isn't a democracy at all.

I become very frustrated when we are always told to vote, but our voices seem to mean nothing in the big picture.

    was thinking the same thing the other day, by the time the dems have a nominee, the repubs, will be in full campaign mode, and have an upperhand.
    Peace, Love.

  • i hope Clinton's numbers would tank if she won by superdelegates. but people would probably take it in the ass like they always do and do nothing.
  • This was a likely scenario but will look farther and farther away as the days go on... look for Obama to sweep tomorrow's primaries... He's already starting to lead in National Polls. Hillary's campaign is betting on Ohio, Texas and Philly. Those aren't until next month. She's in trouble... at this point is it Obama's to loose. Or the Clintons to steal...

    I'd totally support Bigfoot. Maybe he would get a reform going where shoes are made that actually have enough fucking room for my god damn toes.
