Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is
I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

Re: May I Suggest Reading The Transcript
McCain is a wily coyote politician from arid Arizona, who has spent his long, post-hero career bedding women and making hay in Washington DC politics. Reminds me of George Mitchell and not a few others. Such big egos and such small results. Is George Mitchell married even yet? At least Bill Cohen found someone to settle down with. Not only would ...

Clinching the nomination
Obama can't clinch the nomination until after the first ballot at the convention. You state that superdelegates can't be counted, but to justify the slant of your article you are counting them. Neither Obama nor Hillary can clinch the nomination until the convention. Super delegates are not even allowed to vote until all pledge delegates have ...

Superdelegates
Superdelegates, it seems, have a special role in the selection of a democratic nominee. Since they are not ordinary delegates, they must not show partiality until every voter has cast his/her ballot; neither should they indluence others in any way because they should be the final group with extraordinary privelege of ensuring that choosing the ...

Hillary drops out when Obama's superdel total exceeds hers?
''We've believed for some time that the day Obama overtakes Clinton in the pledged delegate count is the day Clinton throws in the towel.''--Slate This bizarre statement overlooks Hill's mantra, ''In it to win it.'' Being behind in a metric in which many superdels haven't declared themselves wouldn't be a signal for anyone to leave the field, ...

Super Delegate Leaderhship Time
Dear Super Delegates, The time has come for the Super Delegates and the elders of the Democratic Party to show some leadership and end this divisive Primary campaign. Hillary Clinton will not drop out and nobody in her inner circle will encourage her to do so. At this late stage in the game, she really has no incentive to abandon her campaign, ...

Why Hillary will win, if the Superdelegates do their jobs
The reason primary season is designed to last so long, if necessary, is because this isn't election day in November. This is a process that shows the change in perception as we expose our candidates, learn more about them over time, look at sensitivities amongst different demographics (and no, not all white people are racist) and different ...

Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...
... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...
