Obama Takes Superdelegate Lead

9:12 pm EST May 10th, 2008 | News | 9 Comments

This is like the McGwire-Sosa home run race without the performance enhancing drugs.

Barack Obama erased Hillary Rodham Clinton’s once-imposing lead among superdelegates Saturday when he added more endorsements from the group of Democrats who will decide the party’s nomination for president.

Obama added superdelegates from Utah, Ohio and Arizona, as well as two from the Virgin Islands who had previously backed Clinton. The additions enabled Obama to surpass Clinton’s total for the first time in the campaign. He had picked up nine endorsements Friday.

    Except, of course, steroids don’t enhance performance.

    Wonder what happened to Wellstone. Guess he ran out of metrics to explain how Hillary is the REAL winner.

    And without the friendly rivalry between them, too. That’s the one thing that makes me upset about this primary election. Both candidates could have made this a win-win situation by being civil, but I can’t see any reason why Obama should offer the VP slot to Hillary or pay her campaign’s bills.

    ¡Viva Obama!

    “Wonder what happened to Wellstone. Guess he ran out of metrics to explain how Hillary is the REAL winner.”

    I am 100% serious when I say I’m worried about him. … Okay, maybe 90% serious. I would like him to come back, admit Obama is the winner, and maybe realize he went off the deep end there.

    “Both candidates could have made this a win-win situation by being civil…”

    Exactly. That’s why I stopped supporting Hillary Clinton in the first place.

    Hillary Clinton deserves all the enbarrasment that is coming to her because she is a two-face politian of the first class! Her hubsban, Bill pardoned his croonies in bussiness and she never said one word in protesting such a ill-deed. When Bill desecrated the White House using it for his sexual rampant, Hillary Clinton was quite as a mouse when she could had voiced her hurt and indignation….
    When the numbers of delegates, pledge delegates, and superdelegates were in her favor she voiced that those numbers should be respected, including the mayority in popular vote. But now, each time the numabers do no favor her, she changes her opinion and comes out with the most absurds excuses to fit her ill-temper as a bad looser! I, like millions of americans, am tired of this double face politician whose last drift is to speak that the white hard working americans are with her. Well, I am a white hard worker american and I disagreed wtih her. And with me are millions of white americans that feels hurt by her divisive ratial opinions. Let me close this by saying that Hillary Clinton is the mad woman of the house and her role should not be in the White House but in a tragicomedy where the role of the mad woman of the house is the perfect one for her.
    I am leonel Sanchez and I approve of this message!!

    I don’t care for Hillary but I have no problem at all with her silence on this. THe ONLY response either CLinton should have given to anyone ever was “None of your damn business.” THere was and is no need for her to make any public comment on a purely personal matter.

    I agree 100%. I may not like the way Hillary has run her campaign, but I see no reason to re-write history to excuse the Republicans for their witch hunt of Bill Clinton during the 1990s.

    “I see no reason to re-write history to excuse the Republicans for their witch hunt of Bill Clinton during the 1990s.”

    Absolutely. Nor a reason to excuse the Clintons for going along with it, at least as far as the Lewinski portion was concerned, by agreeing to ever address the issue with anything other than the answer I listed earlier: None of yer damn business.
