		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;what is wrong with these people?…I’ll tell you;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they are both tragically flawed candidates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doesn’t it make you proud to be a Democratic party member?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sheesh, the stuff we have to put up with to try and lead the party and government to do the right things.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The simple point is who in the Democratic Party is for unelected delegates voting for the nominee?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ‘powers that be’ who have run the party for decades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW, I don’t think super-delegates was to give them ‘floor privileges’. It happened during the 1980s when Reagan was winning big and early and Dems were split and looking weak. They created super-delegates jump in and give one Dem candidate huge numbers to appear to have unified the party and taken it all. Of course, it was a charade (sort of like our current government).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Democracy at primary time has yet to catch on. Same with real voting as opposed to the ridiculous caucuses.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama gets a lot of money from the Nuclear Power industry..(maybe not a bad thing..considering global warming)&lt;br /&gt;
NYT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is a big proponent of Ethanol (IMO, a bad thing)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How dare you? You can’t bring up real issues and policies in public. What’s the matter with you? Don’t you realize it’s impolite to try to wake the comatose cult members?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve had enough. Other that those things, I really liked them when they were in office. Unfortunately, I think they have now spent all their political capital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this was known in the spring of last year. Yet her zombie-like followers followed her religiously.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is different from Obama’s cult-like followers, of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When will the Democrats drop the rose-colored glasses, give upon their cults and begin to look at the real candidates, with all their flaws and real strengths?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rate things are going I’m going to have to admit that Republicans are no more kooky for supporting their nuts than Dems are — that’s not something I look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;In the general, McCain will say I was for the surge/it was my great idea and because of my experience in government, I am the one that will bring about the needed political solution in Iraq and everyone will buy it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You did not answer my question. Let’s hope that Jane H is correct. Back to work for me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;John “bomb it” McCain is ridiculous… It does worry me that his party finds him to be too liberal though, if that’s the case then what are the GOP candidates going to look like next year?  Maybe they’ll run a Rumsfeld/Ashcroft ticket…&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your “references” to the MSM history of the final and formal approval of the unelected SD and UAD delegates is entirely consistent with my “memory” which I will posit is correct.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hmmmm.  You said:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;SDs were never designed to have an impact on the nomination process&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the article from the Nation said:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It [the superdelegate system] returned power to elected officials and party regulars&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Returning power to the insiders sounds like an “impact” to me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
