As to the super- delegates don't forget that they're free to vote however they wish. They might choose to just "go with the flow" and bring their support behind Obama too. Gem

or a simple and market friendly method of transitioning to alternative fuels and technologies that will not require drilling in nature preserves, or how about ending welfare, as we know it, withing a five year time frame with something as simple and market friendly as forms of unemployment insurance that can replace traditional forms of welfare and the red tape it involves. |

Re: Thoughts on Obama
I too am not a big fan of the super delegate system which rewards people for have prestige. Like it or not, as the race stands now, super delegates are definitely going to have an effect.

Re: Thoughts on Obama
Obama has crushed Clinton in the last four states and is poşsed to repeat this on tuesday. A wide marging with "popular" delegates might help Obama gain on Clinton in the super delegate front.

Re: Thoughts on Obama
Just to toss in my two cents here. If the American people in general had much intelligence, you wouldn't HAVE candidates successfully running on a platform of "change", now would you?

Re: Thoughts on Obama
This looks like a "grand" progress after the same people elected a candidate in 2004 running on a platform of "fear."

Re: Thoughts on Obama
What do the candidates have for time-tables? I am under the impression that previous candidates have given us campaign promises without timetables for accomplishing those goals.
Consider a hypothetical time-table for establishing another state in historic Palestine, or a convention on unification; to be accomplished by the end of the first term in office. With such goal sets, the People would know whether or not some milestones have been achieved an would also serve as a guideline for re-election purposes. |

Re: Thoughts on Obama
I think it's more like a load of fools swallowing yet another slogan from a candidate looking for votes. And I'm looking back a lot farther than 2004. Bush may have contributed to the mess we have, but he sure as hell didn't START the decline.

I want both sides of the aisle to admit that they share a lot of blame, and that both have the responsibility of cleaning everything up. The GOP had some Very Bad Ideas, and the Dems followed like puppy dogs. "Bipartisanship" is a complete pipe dream, but wouldn't it be nice if they spent as much energy getting things done as they do passing the buck? Dare to dream....

We can even keep the two parties, as long as the people in there now are turned out. If the idiot sheep would let their representatives know they are watching and will vote the OUT if they keep up the old ways, we would have something substantial going, and not just cheap sloganeering by presidential hopefuls.
