Should she stay or should she go now?

Well, there are people on either side here. Some saying Hillary should pull the plug and others pleading with her not to.

Of course Hillary has a different idea of what to do. Now if she thinks that he is going to take her up on it, she has got to be dreaming. Why on EARTH would Obama sign on as her VP? All it would do is make it impossible for him to run in 2012 and "taint" him by associating himself with the Clintons. Not that he doesn't have his own Chicago baggage that he is dragging along. It also ignores the fact that he is actually AHEAD in the delegate count. You have to admire the arrogance of the Clintons to even make the suggestion.

McCain needs to be pushing forward right now. Put his solutions out on the table every chance he gets. Grab the cameras and pull them over, then actually give them something of substance to report.

With all of this joint ticket talk from Hillary, I'm concerned that she's desperate. I'm concerned that her SS have gone out and haven't found enough dirt on Obama to make him look dirtier than her (granted, that would take quite a bit). I'm guessing that he is just going to laugh in her face, pull out his pocket watch and go back to hypnotising crowds while he steals their wallets. If he entertains the idea AT ALL it would mean that the SS dug up something REALLY big and REALLY stinky and it's got Obama's name all over it and they are using it as leverage to get him to take a back seat. But, I'm afraid that is probably not going to happen. For all intents and purposes, the Superdelegates are going to majoritively sign with Obama and Clinton will go back to being a Senator from NY.

If I was Howard "mean scream" Dean(head of the Dem Party), I would be pulling all of the Superdelegates together and tell them all that if they want to save the Dem party that they will all look at who won the most delegates and 'gently persuade' them all to vote unanimously behind that candidate. But then again, that would probably take Hillary to scratch together some humility and a smidgen of character to do what is best for her party... that won't happen.

Perfect example

This is a perfect example of the Democratic mindset. It is an arguement FOR superdelegates. The basic idea that he is putting forward is that if the voters can't come to an overwhelming majority opinion of who they want to be their candidate, then the 'party elites' can step in and help vett out the right candidate that has the best chance of winning the election.

What is really behind it is this: the average citizen is just not smart enough to pick the candidate that is going to be the best person for the position. Democracy is great, but sometimes the elites need to make the decision and the Democrats obviously just don't trust the common man to do it.

The people just aren't smart enough to make their own decisions.

We're the Democratic leadership... trust us. ;)

Primary fairness

The more I learn about the Democrats and how they run their primary, the more I have to laugh. These people are ridiculous. The whole concept is insane. The Dem party members vote and think that they are picking the nominee, but really they are only giving that nominee part of the delegates available. After all of the states either caucus, primary or convention only a portion of the delegates are actually decided. The rest of the delegates (800 of them!) are just faithful party 'elites' who get to pick whoever they want, regardless of who people voted for. So very reasonably, someone could lose the primaries of 'the people' but win because they paid off the "superdelegates"... oh, did I say 'paid off'... yup, okay good, that's what I meant.

Check this out.

Oh yah, the Dems are definitely the party of the common man. Of course they also believe that the common man is too stupid to make decisions for himself, that's why the superdelegates need to decide. In fact, that's pretty much the way it is with everything. People can't and shouldn't take care of themselves, just give your money to the government and they'll work everything out. Classic.
