Which is why Obama will be the VP
And don't think I didn't notice you try and blackmail the party...
It is not blackmail if he has the lead. People will not be satisfied with VP.
If he loses the popular vote he loses.
Try and fight a 48 state pledged delegate primary and cry when the party counts 50 states and takes popular vote into consideration so that its 1 vote 1 person???
My vote as a Dem in Cali should count MORE than a GOP crossover in Alaska not less. Currently that GOP crossover gets 10 times the say in terms of votes per pledged delegate.
Popular vote is democracy as most understand it and that is who will win.
this is a race for delegates, not the popular vote.
Now please launch into your standard diatribe about how you'll reward Obama in eight years if he just gives you what you want now, otherwise you'll ruin his career forever. Since you did mention blackmail, and you, DTaylor, have the power to make that come true.
Why do I keep getting the impression we are being coerced into Obama, just like we were into Bush?
Of course, the Obama camp takes every legitimate beef the Clinton folk have ans parrot it right back at us, nomatter how little sense it makes.
This is like some bad movie.
Of course, you could also try winning instead of whining, but why give that a try, eh?
Clinton still has a small chance to pull this out. Fine. If she doesn't, she's just a lousy campaigner.
This is why we have elections. Not turns. You don't get a pony. Not yours.
right - with 300 delegate (of the super kind) who have not cast that vote yet.
Well, that's the election right there, then, especially if you get a vote for every one of your sockpuppets, Mssrs. John Wesley Hardin was a Friend to the poor and T J Jefferson.
And I need to vote for Hillary because?
My vote as a Dem in Cali should count MORE than a GOP crossover in Alaska not less.
What the hell does that even mean?
Hillary Clinton has to win every remaining state by sixty percent or more to win the popular vote, and that's the low estimate.
in case you hadn't noticed..
sigh
In which states will McCain not be on the ballot in November?
Sweet christ you people are exhausting.
In which states will there be a caucus this November?
Okay everyone the game we will be playing is checkers.....Moves made....Um, no I meant chess...more moves....hey, it was supposed to be backgammon, everyone knew that.....more moves....Chinese checkers is a true game.....more moves....this game is stupid and doesn't really show anything....Monopoly anyone????
Hillary's supporters are starting to realize Barack brings nothing to the table. He is not needed on HER ticket. It's all a shame. He was a shining star with potential in the party.
About blackmailing the party: Do you think the party will unite behind Clinton if she somehow narrowly secures the nomination via a convention fight, while being 100+ pledged delegates behind Obama? Assume also that Obama has a popular vote lead, excluding Michigan.
seemingly by outlining how the race could end I'm blackmailing the party. I think that about says where the Clinton Campaign's chances lie.
Excluding Michigan?
There is no 48 or 49 state democratic party.
If Obama loses the 50 state popular vote then he can't complain if the SDs make sure the will of the people is done.
You didn't answer the question. I didn't ask what should happen or who has a right to complain. I'm interested in what will happen.
Florida and Michigan will count at either 50% or more likely at 100%
Obama's delegates were already seated as the uncommitted in roughly the numbers he got in post voting poling.
