Super Delegates Hijacking the Primary
As a frustrated Hillary volunteer, I just spent a day doing a Super Delegate analysis of support, state by state. For any who wonder what is really happening, go see this analysis at NoQuarter, under post “Letter to SuperDelegates” in the comment section.
In sum, it will show you a consistent, diabolical pattern of SD votes for obama, against the Will of the People of every state, or vastly disproportionate to the primary outcome of the state. It also shows, painfully, that SD support for Hillary has been withheld, or totally circumvented, even in states where she had big wins!
So,the cat’s out of the bag - SUPERDELEGATES ARE STEALING THE ELECTION! (because, by circumventing the voting results of the people, they are depriving the Nomination to the Candidate most popular and most qualified to win the election.
Therefore, sober fact is STEAL THE NOMINATION = Steal the ELECTION and don’t even wait until November to do it.
CAUTION, please, to some as above, who said they will “still vote for down-ticket Dems”. BE AWARE, those down-ticket Dems are also Super Delegates - and they are the ones stealing the election from Hillary.
In many cases, these down ticket candidates have been generously bribed with the bottomless funds of Obama’s special interest financing (which includes millions from both major corporations - in bundled money form and millions more from Muslims (yes, that’s true - from Rezko & Auchi’s money chain in the Mid East, to Farrakan’s Nation of Islam, to the Hezbollah front Qwazini in Michigan, to many more.
Those Congressional candidates who are not being bought may be under duress of threats, just as La Rouche site reported was the case of J Edwards, who was told that if he didn’t come out RIGHT NOW for Obama, he’d be permanently exiled from the party.
If Obama is given this crooked coronation, I personally intend to campaign AGAINST all down-ticket Democrats, who gave Obama their SD endorsement.
If the superdels voted in exact proportion to the vote in their states, they would be superfluous. The percentage difference between the candidates would be exactly the same, just with more delegates. And this post doesn't discuss the superdels that are party members and officials. They don't have a state to vote with, and shouldn't ALL superdels use the same criteria? I realize the post is fake and meant to be a joke, but actual Clinton supporters really do try to use these fatally flawed arguments!

It's really hard to tell, since specialist has been very consistent in his pro-Clinton shtick, I don't know if it is a shtick or if he's sincerely this ignorant.

what do you do for a living that allows you time to hang around in a blog 24/7? Who supports you?

See, this is part of his shtick that I really find funny. The innuendo (and he's come out and said it outright before), that anyone who disagrees with him is a paid operative of the Obama campaign.

Correct if I'm wrong, but since Feb. all we've heard from the Clintons regarding superdelegates and pledged delegates, is that they can change their minds. Surely, you're not saying that the supers who've endorsed Clinton, but live in states or districts that went to Obama should switch over to Obama Um, because you know...he's won more states and in cases like NV where Obama carried most of the state, but lost the big city, that means you'd want the supers in those districts to vote for Obama. Right?
What did Queen Bee say on May 14th?

Oh and if you want credibility quoting the blog of a psychotic, racist CIA agent is probably not the best way to garner it.

Or refer to a "La Rouche site" ...
Lots of crazies coming out of the woodwork lately.

Glad to see it's not me. There's like 7 nutjobs who've started posting a lot in the last week or so and their claims ("diabolical pattern"?) are merely psychotic and laughable. In all fairness, I do like specialist's blog posts because they're so over-the-top whiny and unhinged, that they give me and my friends a great laugh. We've even ditched "tin-foil hatter" and substituted "specialist" instead.

Is it Specialist or Spinner. In any case, read my post here at TPM entitled "Hillary Electability Argument is Raw Material for Fertilizer" and maybe you can avoid having to see a shrink.

I haven't laughed this hard since - well, the LAST Clinton attempt at justifying her continued presence in a campaign that has all but demanded that she stop pestering us and go back to New York - where she can do less damage.
Unfortunately, I live in NY - so I have to put up with her for another 2 years (at least).
But thanks for the Yuks!

The problem with the Clinton campaign is that her supporters just won't stay on message. Clinton has been telling everyone who will listen that this election is going to come down to superdelegates since neither she nor Barack will win enough pledged delegates to clinch the nomination. Therefore, she hopes the supers will support her. She will finish up the contests, make her best case and accept heir decision. Why are her supporters talking about stolen elections now?
Come on Clinton supporters! Show a little discipline!

You forgot to mention that regular delegates are also hijacking the primary, since Obama's lead with them is even bigger.

Not any longer. He now has 14% more superdelegates than her and only 11% more pledged delegates.
So, er, I guess the SUPERDELEGATES ARE STEALING THE SPREAD or something like that. Maybe they're upsetting a few office pools, I don't know.

Pissing off voters in two key states is fine as long as Obama is the nominee.
We can afford to blow FL off.

I sincerely hope this post is meant as a joke (it is hard to tell).
Wasn't it a Clinton supporter, who just last week was found to be attempting to buy superdelegate support for Clinton from the YDA??? The only reason anyone is concerned about this race at this point, is that Hillary has the power of a former Presidency behind her... The math, if all supers were forced to go with their State vote gets way worse for Hillary. Like Orwell said, up is down...

So what promises did the Clinton Campaign give to the 100 super delegates she had before the primary even started? Before one vote was cast?

Hillary, of course, would encourage all of the superdelegates to vote against her under the same conditions.
Give me a break.

The above quote from her own lips appears about 1 min into the clip.

Also from the above clip:
Greta: What about the pledged delegates? Right now, are they likely, you have any position on them sort of them moving over in one direction or another?
Hillary: Well you know delegates are free to exercise their judgment. All delegates - whether you're from a caucus, or you're from a primary, or your so called appointed delegate.
