So only one switches his vote and the media get excited?

Clinton still has the support of 82 more superdelegates than Obama, even though Obama might have 140 more pledged delegates than Clinton.

The Democratic Party still has a ways to go before they prove themselves to be actually democratic.

I don't even think it matters AT ALL whether "black lawmakers" support Hillary or Obama. All their policies ARE the same. They both have the same health care plan they both believe that global warming is "ruining" our planet and they both believe that all the unborn children in America should die and continue to die in more and more states. If you ask me .. who gives a rats ass who likes who. They are both horrible for our country and they will both bring slack values to our country.

You think that making health care available to every American is a "slack value"??

Has McCain said he would support a reversal of Roe v Wade?

Even if he did I think we all realise that, like gun control, it's never going to happen. So why make it an axiomatic issue?

You could just base the winners and losers on the popular vote. You know, that's where the majority of actual people decide who wins the election.

You mean dispense with the Electoral College system?

But that would remove equality between the states and mean that the big 6 states, who pay the bulk of the Federal taxes, would in effect pick the President.

Yeah, we should stay with the system where New Hampshire decides.

But that would mean that the coastal states would decide the elections since that's where a majority of the people are. Alaska and the smaller states would be screwed with their tiny population.

So? Americans are Americans no matter where they live. Nobody cares about what Wyoming and North Dakota thinks anyway.

North Dakotans are 22 times more equal than Californians. Even though Californians have to subsidise their state (and most others).
