Delegate fight: Corzine mulling options?

Posted: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:24 AM by Mark Murray

Per NBC’s Tom Winter, Gov. Jon Corzine, a Clinton superdelegate, just said on CNBC's Squawk Box that he reserves the right to change his vote from Hillary Clinton if she doesn't have the popular vote. He stopped short of saying that he definitely would change his vote if she lost the popular vote and he did strongly emphasize that Sen. Clinton would win the popular vote in the end.

Sen. Maria Cantwell, another Clinton super, has said similar things regarding the popular vote.

Obama is a uniter? Who has he united other than the followers who have already been beating the same drum fo r years? What evidence of brilliance is there? What has he done that makes him such a messiah to some people? I certainly do not dislike the guy, but c'mon! How many times are we going to get swept up like a school girl by a smooth talker? I want RESULTS! Not ear-candy!!!

I noticed that Walden Books have moved Clinton's Autobiography "Living History" to the FICTION aisle.

Just look how the democrat party would be screwing up their own political process. Think how they can mess up sometime like their proposed Universal Healthcare fiasco if they remain in power and having a empty suit like B. Hussein Obama at the helm.
This Nov would be the perfect time to vote them out.

The hype that this is a close race to be decided in the end by the superdelegates is put out by the Clinton campaign. This race is not close. The final states will distribute the delegates between the two. Obama has the popular vote that Senator Clinton can't catch up. He also has what this race is all about-Delegates. The Clinton campaign keeps playing with the political reality fo this race, and the media needs to stop supporting their antics.

The reason Hillary gets so many 3 AM phone calls is that her campaign bill collectors want their money.

Now that (Hanoi) Jane Fonda has endorsed Obamer (as Kennedy calls him) it is possible he will be will get the nomination instead of Hillary. She seem to reflect the values of my once beloved party before it was hijacked by folks like Jackson, Shapton, Farakkan. etc... Since Fonda's endorsement, I have decided that I won't get a chance to vote for Hillary for president so I will cross over and vote for McCain and would urge all her fans to do the same.

How does Obama expect to win the general election when Archie Bunker Democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania have shown that they don't want to vote for him??

Does any intelligent person still think that the Clintons are the greatest political minds we have ever seen? I always thought there political skills were over rated. But then it doesnt take much to fool the voters these days.

The Clinton are full of double-think double-talk. Probably by now most people don't even know that it's a delegate race.

The same word games are being used by the Clinton to interject race and gender into race.

if the popular vote was all that mattered al gore would have been president
the democrats screwed up method of tying delegates to the percentage of popular vote is ridiculous
and to the poster who asked if the democrats were ever going to learn a liberal can not win a national election
apparently not

11th commandment ... unwritten and unknowable until this very moment ... though shall not take the nomination away from Hillary for if though doust ... seas will dry up ... storms will rage ... Bill will loose his mighty sword on little interns(and McDonalds girls) everywhere.

It's as simple as this: liberals are seeing for the first time in their party that we conservatives have seen in their party since Bill Clinton's charlatan act as a president. The irrational, immature, avoidance of accountability, the inability to see further than their own ambitions, whether it be detrimental to the rest of the population, in this case, their own party, the say anything but do nothing, to stroke their own egos, or to line their own check books. We as conservatives need not to say a word, for their actions speak for us.
