Sorry but calling you a demonbot, whether you agree with the caricature or not, is making a point. Using a word such as demon or dim illustrates a view that highlights a huge deficiency that is alive in the democratic party, lack of real religious connection and intelligence. Agree or disagree with that but those are points none the less.

I know what deficiency's are in my party that I have aligned myself with.
a. spending restraint
b. ignorance of the constitution as it was originally intended
c. removal of certain governmental agencies that are nothing but money holes
d. illegal immigration

Those are my priorities, but the list could be a mile long. If a democrat ever said, and I believed him, that he would restrict the growth of goverment and restrain spending while protecting the constitutional amendments as originally intended I would find it hard to not vote for him, but uinfortunately the most you ever get from both political parties right now is lip service.

I'll be goddamned! We agree on something. [except for the spelling of unfortunately that is] Did someone help you write it?

Now if you would have led with something that coherent instead of jumping in with name calling we might not have provided all this entertainment for all these readers tonight.

It's been that way for a long, long time.
That includes both Dems and Repubs.
I don't think it will ever change.

Hillary is still leading in delegate count. It looks like it will fall to the so-called super delegates.

From this point, quick math shows that after Super Tuesday, only 1,428 pledged delegates will still be available. Now, here is where the problem shows up. According to current polling averages, the largest possible victory for either candidate on Super Tuesday will be Clinton 889 pledged delegates, to 799 pledged delegates for Obama. (In all likelihood, the winning margin will be lower than this, but using these numbers helps emphasize the seriousness of the situation.) As such, the largest possible pledged delegate margin Clinton can have after Super Tuesday is 937 to 862. (While it is possible Obama will lead in pledged delegates after Super Tuesday, it does not currently seem possible for Obama to have a larger lead than 75). That leaves Clinton 1,088 pledged delegates from clinching the nomination, with only 1,428 pledged delegates remaining. Thus, in order to win the nomination without the aid of super delegates, in her best-case scenario after Super Tuesday, Clinton would need to win 76.2% of all remaining pledged delegates. Given our proportional delegate system, there is simply no way that is going to happen unless Obama drops out.

Open Left:: Super Delegates To Determine Nominee

So the nomination ends up in the hands of a few party elite subject to wining, dining and arm twisting. Don’t underestimate the Clinton machine. It goes on to say;

Our options are not pretty, but that would be better than letting bylaws and super delegates determine the nominee instead of voters. Hopefully, either Clinton or Obama will run up a long list of wins, and the other candidate will drop out. Failing that, hopefully the super delegates will line-up behind whoever has the most popular support and pledged delegates. Failing both, we could be facing a crisis in the party where the nominee lacks legitimacy in the opinion of the rank and file.

It sounds like it’s going to be a Hillary year.

I guess that is good news for McCain!
