Dean Demands Superdelegates Vote Now

Posted by: Curt @ 8:04 am in Politics  | 0 views

Look who’s getting a bit antsy:

An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they’re for – and “I need them to say who they’re for starting now.”

“We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time,” the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “We’ve got to know who our nominee is.”

After facing criticism for a mostly hands-off leadership style during much of the primary season, Dean has been steadily raising the rhetorical pressure on superdelegates. He said Thursday that roughly 65 percent of them have made their preference plain, but that more than 300 have yet to make up their minds.

I think the last debate sealed this thing for him. Obama squirming, hemming and hawing, sent his supporters into a frenzy of attacks against Hillary and the media. Both camps are tearing each other apart and are getting so bitter whichever one loses the nomination, their supporters may very well vote for McCain out of spite.

Either way, the arrogance of this man to basically tell all those states who have not voted, those being Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, South Dakota along with Guam and Puerto Rico, that their vote don’t matter. The thing is, maybe they don’t count….its the Democrat way you see. The chosen few elitists get to decide who runs, not the people.

I have an idea on how he can force those superdelegates to vote now tho…..scream at them:

Whatever happened to count every vote?

What if the Republicans only counted votes for President in the states we won?

These Dems have made such a mess for themselves.

And they deserve it.

Anton Chigurh: You know how this is going to turn out, don’t you?
Llewelyn Moss: Nope.
Anton Chigurh: I think you do.

It’s pretty easy to understand how the Superdelegates are going to go. This week alone it is Obama +5 Clinton-1.

Well, it has already begun; the MSM is working overtime to get the story off of the “bitter” Dean Scream type comment of BHO, the poor performance in the debate, notably if the MSM believes that the “bird” BHO flipped was inadvertent, they’re not showing that footage on television…
No, instead, what’s on the morning news regarding the Democratic Primaries? Well, the fact that BHO picked up a few more endorsements (the undercurrent here being “come on you stupid proles out there, get on the BHO bandwagon like you should”), then the most favorable poll numbers available to “show Obama closing Clinton’s lead,” and of course the big funny that BHO pulled on the Colbert Report last night…
Makes me wonder whether BHO will complain that the news is filled with “typical distractions” away from what matters in the campaign?

i say to let them keep fighting, i love this. the longer it goes on the more it hurts the libs. they are both so power hungery and self absorbed that they aren’t seeing the big picture. the dems will hopefully loose the race for the white house. i am so tired of their taxes and crap that it makes me sick. howard dean is a dork plain and simple, he is so washed up and washed out. he is out of touch with reality if he wants to keep taking away the rights of voters. the super delegates is a dumb way to do it, i think the whole process is tedious and outdated. we need to revamp how elections are held.
