what does that mean?

Clinton won New Mexico and Richardson and one Senator went Obama. Clinton won Mass and both Senators went Obama. Clinton won OK and one Senator went Obama. Clinton won California and Nanci Pelosi is Obama.....

What does that mean..??

You know what it means to me..... it gives the SD a Independent vote.
However, it does put pressure on SD receiving money.

Obama. has donated to SD... $710,000.00 and Clinton $236,000.

first off, the new mexico primary was too close to call for a long period before finally going for Hillary. So Richardson, the Gov, and the Senator are siding with and representing roughly half the Democrats who voted when they endorsed Obama.

Carney is in an entirely different situation. He represents his DISTRICT and the 10th District went overwhelmingly for Clinton. She got 70% of the vote. Plus, unlike a Governor or Senator who represents the interests of the whole state, a Representative is just that and is the congressional voice for his subset of people within his state. Carney was merely supporting and representing the vast majority of his constituents with this endorsement.

It'd have been different if the split had been close in the 10th but it wasn't. So I don't think he had much choice.

"Clinton won New Mexico and Richardson and one Senator went Obama. Clinton won Mass and both Senators went Obama. Clinton won OK and one Senator went Obama. Clinton won California and Nanci Pelosi is Obama....."

Go look it up: Obama won Pelosi's district, so she did the same exact thing that Carney just did. And the margin wasn't as overwhelming in her district as it was in the PA 10.

Its good to see the super delegates come out in support of there candidates!

We often get too caught up in polls that it doesnt occur to people that different people have different opinons, and those count too

I am a bit concerned about the fund donations made to SD from Obama?
He has contributed $710,000 and Clinton $236,00 .
Rumor has it, and I hate stuff like this, that Obama has a surplus fund offering of $30-50 million to the DNC that he will bring, along with his donor list. This is very serious stuff...
Democracy for Sale.. all of this. It will not set right with the natives if any should get out.

one study showed that 82% of the candidates follow the money donations.
  
all votes should count

At least some of them are doing the right thing.

Forgive me for posting like this but I am running out of time and do not have the time to blog on every site right now.


This is a petition to stop Joe Andrew from his comments that will have supers jumping to Obama. Everyone in upcoming primaries should be able to vote, regadless of who wins. If you agree with it, please sign and distribute to everyone. I would like to send it before Tuesday's WV election.
