Let me get this straight. Clinton, knowing she will be behind in delegates and the popular vote is going to the convention to convince undeclared super delegates that she can win and Obama can't but if she is unsuccessful she will work as hard to get the unelectable Obama elected as she has worked to get the unelectable Clinton elected. Do I understand that correctly?

Hope this helps

your are confused.....

Counting the MI and Fl votes AS VOTED, she is behind 30 delegates and leads in pop votes.
She also leads in Electoral votes and leads in the National polls to beat McCain.

Does this help?

Most important.....any SD pledging early can change their minds in Denver.......

You need a calculator

If we include the Florida delegates "as counted" then Hillary has only picked up a net 38 delegates.

If we include Michigan delegates "as counted", then Hillary has only picked up a net 18 delegates.

This is what Hillary asked for!

Obama now is ahead by 1592 to Hillary's 1424 pledged delegates, a difference of 168 pledged delegates. Obama only needs 33 more pledged delegates to make it impossible for Clinton to get more pledged delegates than him.

Oh, by the way, Obama says Florida's delegates will be counted "and will be at the convention with their party hats on".

Florida House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber says even listing all the delegates in her column won't help Hillary win the nomination.

answer the question!

That's kinda the theory

If our nominee is not decided by the end of the last 6 primary's and she is not the clear winner there is a very good possibility of that happening.

All The Way...

All Obamas promises are things I dont want. He promises riots, he promises war he promises vengence aganst myself and everyone I love. This is just like when George bush promised to kill me, and everyone said Oh he really didnt mean it, now a million of my dear friends are dead because of it and im hearing the same old excuses. Ibama got a lot of explaining to do and not to me, that would be too easy. I'll believe anything. He needs to explain all this to Clinton, and convince her.

Request denied. I have no authority to make any deals. I suggest if you want a deal, you tell it to Clinton.

Are you on medication?

By Hollywood May 10th 2008 at 2:36 pm EDT

"Riots", "War", "Vengence (sic) against myself and everyone I love"

?????

I sure hope it's just the pills talking, because otherwise I think we need to fit you for a new straitjacket!!!

Re: Are you on medication?

Request denied. You have no authority to make a deal and I have no authority to accept one, so take your insults lies and intimidation which is what the Obama campaign seems to think are the only issues and tell them to Clinton, because without direct orders from her, we have nothing to talk about.

Seek help immediately
