Superdelegates since Friday

by alex100, Mon May 05, 2008 at 07:06:09 PM EST

4 supers out of 4.5 went to Obama today (according to DemConWatch). Obama has gotten 8 to Clinton's 2.5 superdelegates since Friday.

The AP has the superdelegate spread at +16 for clinton. Only CNN has Clinton up by more than 20 supers.

Tack on the Pelosi club and by some measures, Clinton's lead in supers is now in single digits.

Drip Drip n/t (2.00 / 1)

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (none / 0)

Definitely no drip drip drip for Obama.

....that there sound you're hearings is grinding metal, screaching to a hault. lol

Who are you counting in your totals? Hmmm? Because even since Friday she picked up more than that?

Saturday she added from Maryland and today she added from Democrats Abroad.

...now, how do you get a .5 LOL it must hurt to acknowledge any reality, huh? lol

by environmentally blue on Mon May 05, 2008 at 07:13:36 PM EST

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (none / 0)

The Democratic Abroad Superdelegate only counts as .5.

And his or her total is largely accurate. Senator Obama is outpacing Senator Clinton in accumulating Superdelegates 3:1.

Most have her lead down to 13.5-15 at the moment.

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (2.00 / 0)

what idiocy.

per Demconwatch:

5-2-08 - Added DNC Jaime Gonzalez Jr. (TX) for Clinton
5-3-08 - Added DNC Brian Colon (NM), new add-on Inez Tenenbaum (SC)#, and new Guam Vice-Chair Jaime Paulino (GU) for Obama
Added new add-on Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (MD)# for Clinton.
5-4-08 - Added DNC Robert Martinez (TX) for Clinton
- Added Parris Glendening (MD)# for Obama.
5-5-08 - Added DNC Kalyn Free (OK) for Obama.

Added DNC Theresa Morelli (DA)* for Clinton.

Added DNC Michael Cryor (MD) and DNC Lauren Glover (MD) for Obama

Added IL add-on Richard Daley (IL)# for Obama. 2 other IL add-ons will be added when we get a valid source.

That's 8 for Obama, and 3.5 for Clinton. Now, why .5? Because Democrats Abroad only count for half a vote.

Perhaps if you'd done a little research, you'd know this...

Why can't Hillary close the deal with the people who know her best (the national party)?

Especially after her landslide victory in Pennsylvania.

Re: Why can't Hillary close the deal? (none / 0)

Obama is the one with the "huge" string of 11 primary victories and couldn't close.

Hillary is in the midst of her string of 12 victories in the remaining 13 contests to the convention.

At the end of her string, she'll seal the deal.

Wait for tomorrow chief.

Begging your pardon, but I count 12 contests after 3/4, and Obama has won three of them so far.

Those three don't count.

West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana count twice.

True. Obama needs far fewer supers and is just as electable.

Electabiltiy?? (none / 0)

Electability...Huh? You mean like having the entire Democratic Machine on your side, starting with a 100+ Superdelegate lead, having the Clinton name recognition as one of the best POTUS in our history, your advisors telling the country it will be finished by Super Tuesday, and you are losing to a 46 year old African American....you mean that kind of "electability"?

Toot, thank you for raising such a terrific person...You done good and we will have you in our hearts.

Not to mention being able to campaign more because you don't have young kids and your former President husband can campaign for you too. And your daughter. And you're still losing.

Re: Why can't Obama close the deal? (1.00 / 1)

Because he's an empty symbol and people who know better don't bet on empty words, clearly not backed up by his actions.

Hillary on the other hand IS closing the deal......as you have witnessed in all her wins since early March.

Sit back and enjoy the ride. President Hillary will be solving our many challenges.

Re: Why can't Obama close the deal? (2.00 / 2)

She lies to you.

She fools you with phony gas tax holidays

She fools you with revisionism toward her irresponsibility in the lead up to war

And you take it. And you call her President Hillary. It's unbelievable to me that you all call us the "cult." I think Obama is a politician. I think he's a good one (as far as a politician can be) but he's just a politician. And he won't solve my problems. That will take me, and you, and him, and congress, and state governments, and on and on. We are the change we've been waiting for. So no, I don't agree that President Clinton will be able to do much. Except maybe tell us more lies.

John McCain isn't evil. He's just wrong about a lot of things. Vote Obama!

two of the 3 Illinois add on delegates have not yet been officially counted. They're Obama supers but let's not count them until they're announced.

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (2.00 / 0)

Obama now has a 9 delegate lead if you count Michigan and Florida and do not give him Michigan's 55 uncommitted.

I keep saying Mi and FL will be sat as soon as the super's pledge. Looks like that will hold true.

by cardboard 1 on Mon May 05, 2008 at 07:53:13 PM EST

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (2.00 / 1)

Obama will wrap up the uncommitted superdelegates by June, and be able to seat MI and FL as is without them changing the results. Everyone will be happy. Certain people will look very goofy for their hyperbole the past couple months (like posting pictures of the US flag missing two stars, stuff like that).

John McCain and the right wing noise machine will turn Barack Obama into an evil racist coward who wants to appoint Al Sharpton to the Supreme Court. The fun hasn't even started. They already slimed Hillary and she's still viable just wait till Barry gets his dose of GOP lovin and he thought Hillary was mean to him lol

Re: Superdelegates since Friday (none / 0)

If they race bait and fear monger any more than has already been done in this primary, it will only appeal to the 30 or so percent that still support Bush right now. Obama's candidacy is banking on people having learned something from '04.

John McCain isn't evil. He's just wrong about a lot of things. Vote Obama!
