Essentially, this is how and what we PUMAs are trying to say and what Hillary wanted. We have a tie in the outcome yet we let the media deliver the "news" day by day of Super Delegates endorsing Obama - not to throw their support behind their guy, but to gut the impact of huge victories in West Virginia, Puerto Rico, and Kentucky for the simple purpose of distracting. These weren't endorsements, they had a whiff of contrivance and were acid in the eyes of the legitimate voters - lifelong democrats who were proud again to be democrats after years of Cheyney's manipulation of our psyches. HOW does a candidate with the popular votes, victories in states where the O won't GO (because it's less of a Rock Star Show and more of a roll-up-the-sleeves and Campaign), and all the momentum of the last months of the campaign get shoved aside - with the Democratic Party Leadership's assistance? The Super Delegates - according to the RULES that State Committee approved, aren't required to make their "final answer" until the roll call at the convention. As long as the two candidates were still in it, John McCain couldn't get a mention on the news. What was the rush? Until the Convention, both campaigns had an equal right to work for those super delegate votes. So often, in competitive situations, men have tried to force me aside just because they fear losing to a woman! I say: "AS LONG AS THERE IS MONEY ON THE TABLE, I HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO GO FOR IT AS THE OTHER GUYS!!"
The actions of the OBoomBoxes to suppress legitimate competition, force the removal of Clinton and her 18 million supporters surgically via complicity by the unfit-for-service party leaders and manufacture a win when NEITHER candidate had enough pledged delegates (unless you count the ones Hillary WON in Florida and Michigan that were copped for baby boy) to claim the nomination. One could almost hear those guys dragging their flagging empty suit across the finish line chanting: "Beat the Girl, Beat the Girl!"
