No that is not the whole argument. And it is clear that the people chose Barry, counting the superdelegates or not.
Based upon what? The vast majority of voters are dumb sheep that vote based upon a couple of emotional issues and under the direction of sound bites. The correct statement is that the goals of the republican party are different from those of the illerati.
It is the whole argument presented in the article you chose. "Barry" didn't win enough delegates to be nominated, unless you count the superdelegates. The primaries were a tie.
the party doesn't give a damn about the issues. They want to get elected. They will argue that coffee should be flavored with shit if they thought it would help.
Neither party cares about the issues and both are corrupt. The republicans are not any worse than the democrats when it comes to only caring about getting elected. No politician cares about the "informed" voters that you ascribe to the American public. This is a nation filled with voting sheep that are easily manipulated. Heck, dead people win elections.
Well I disagree, I touched upon other issues in this thread, although I suppose I should post another fun article to clarify even further. Source: Slate The same technicality you keep talking about. It is true, yet his popular vote lead is not in question; he finished the Dem primaries ten points ahead of Hill.
Consider the source and who they're rooting for to win, of course. The same can be said about the superdelegates' decision making process. "Barry" won 48.1% of the popular vote to Hillary's 48.0% in the primaries. That's not 10 points ahead, it's .1 point. You're only off by 2 orders of magnitude.
What's wrong with the article? The superdelegates were ultimately redundant this cycle. Lol, I was talking about the RCP polling done at the end of the primaries, I'm not off by anything. It was only close because of Hillary's Brand name at the start of the whole process; Barry had a great campaign and it showed at the end.
Barry lost all but a few of the last bunch of primaries. He backed in, and only got the nomination because of the superdelegates. The superdelegates didn't even vote the way the people they represented voted. The party needs a new name - they haven't figured out what "democratic" means.
That's assuming I cared what the electoral college was. Hillary won based on the arbitrary process of determining what groups of counties become a state, and there were no big upsets. The nation didn't want her, and the Democrats supposedly care less about the electoral process anyway.
I think you are harping on the wrong issue. The bigger problem, as I see it, is that each state has a different method for allocating delegates, which leads to complex strategies where you decide where you need to win and where you just need to be close.
Not really. Even if we accept the argument that it was a "tie," between Obama and Yuckola, I'd argue that both were vetted and were deemed "acceptable." I'm thinking more about the dozen or so candidates that dropped out somewhere along the process.
If Palin had run for president and won 19M votes, she'd be way more "qualified" than "Barry," right? Maybe I'll bump a thread I made a while back where I talked about who were the most qualified candidates and who were the least qualified. For the record, I had Obama and McCain in the three least qualified category.
I wouldn't say that; but I'd certainly accept that voters believe that her inexperience is a non-issue given her other qualities.
We'll find out two things by the time of the election. What her qualities truly are (not just that she really had her own baby), and whether the voters see her lack of experience at the national level to be reason to not vote for the ticket.
I'm pretty sure that she will gain votes for Mr. McCain because she is a pro-life, pro-creationism young woman who likes to hunt and fish. As I said earlier, though, as a citizen, I am disgusted by the fact that this is the sole criteria for identifying a viable vice presidential candidate. Don't worry, I would be more disgusted by the idea of Oprah on the ticket.
Why weren't you disgusted with Obama when he first ran? Frankly, I am impressed as all heck with the guy, but I'm disgusted that we paid him to do a job and he hasn't done much of it. That'd be senator.
