Rep.: Half of House Dems may vote Hillary at DNC - Amie Parnes and Ben Smith - Politico.com

dont know how many threads are on this already , but I wonder if this is talk or true

how ugly can it get at the convention if some do go with clinton?

It's all cheap talk, since many delegates including in the New York delegation have said that now that they endorse Obama, they will stick with Obama at the convention.

So it's actually predicted that although Obama took 2,200 delegates and Clinton is at 1,900, what we'll actually see is that she'll have less than that with all the delegates and Super Delegates who have already switched to Obama not going back to vote for her.

This is a non-story. And the media covering it will explain this to us next week, when her roll call comes in with a few hundred or so less delegates than what she actually achieved.

This is about recognizing the historic nature of their primary. Bill and Hillary and others on their side have already said they plan to vote for Obama in the roll call. What Hillary has planned is to take the stage, acknowledge all her delegates, and then give them over to the Obama camp as a symbol of endorsement and unity.

Nuff said.

Agree.

It would be fun to watch though.

Very fun to watch.

I at least want both candidates to hold back on mentioning their VP's til the conventions, since the conventions are just parties now.

This certainly would be a hardcore Hillary supporter's dream.

Its getting pretty ugly alright....Denver has secret jails?

9NEWS.com | Colorado's Online News Leader | City defends 'secret jail' built for DNC

WTF?

I knew there was some Hillary supporters were going to protest but does the city really believe they are going to arrest THAT many people they must have extra jail space?

Yeah its been a while since Spad last used his dungeon to lock up Dems...

lol lol lol
lollol
lol lol lol

If there were just 1/2 an inkling that Hillary would pull a surprise out of her ass at the convention, I'd watch it! Hell, I'd record it!

I would do that for the same reason if there was a 1% chance. The truth is it will never happen.

Why doesn't anyone remember their history. Jesse Jackson got a floor vote, Ted Kennedy got a floor vote. ALL the losing candidates get a floor vote and their delegates are heard. It's just what happens. Clinton will get her floor vote which she deserves and earned and the Democrats will move forward. This is what is so stupid about this election, they act like because Obama is new and that thre is history involved than EVERYTHING is new and unprecedented. It's like these polls that show McCain winning among white voters. White voters ALWAYS back Republicans at higher rates than they back Demcorats. Obama is polling better among white voters than John Kerry did against Bush in 2004 in EVERY SINGLE STATE. Its just ridiculous.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008

So would i....(and to see if i can see Spad on the news! )

Ahhhh... If you only knew what I have been up to with my dungeons!

Don't count Hillary out yet. Obama thinks it's clear sailing to the nomination, but Hillary could (and would) do a Bobbit on him. To watch the nomination get yanked during the convention would be the video of the century. As little political experience Obama has, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him get blindsided by Clinton.

What pisses me off is that my weekend falls on two of those days, and I may very liokely be called in to help with idiots on the protest. Well, guaranteed, you won't see me bashing anyone, even if they need it. I'm way too close to another, and hopefully final, retirement.

Hillary said herself she will NOT be the one to divide the democratic party. I take that as she won't intentionally divide the party, and I believe her. I mean she knows there will no chance come election day that she could ever become president. No way. Party would be too divided, no republicans would vote for her, and she won't be the one that does that.

Naive. Not too experienced watching politics, eh?
