[color:blue]Pelosi said the superdelegates should follow the lead of pledged delegates.</font color=blue><br><br>... wouldn't Ted Kennedy have had to remain silent?<br><br><br><br><br>

Kennedy is a Massachusetts super delegate. The Massachusetts Democratic primary was proportional. <br><br>Clinton 56%<br>Obama 41%. <br><br>Clinton received 55 delegates and Obama 38. At least 40% of the superdelegates or 11 of the 28 should vote for Obama. Kennedy is one of those eleven. He votes for me. He can also open his mouth anytime he wants to.<br><br><br><br><br>

Pelosi was referring to House members who can look at their own congressional district numbers for guidance. Senators have a little bit more leeway since their states are going to be sending delegates pledged to both candidates.<br><br>If you were to award Senatorial superdelegates based on who took each state as Sen.

As much as the media has a love for the numbers, I really do not think that they matter right now. What is most important are the positions that the candidates are staking out for themselves, their records on those issues, and the character of the campaign that they are all running.<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U

I suppose it is an interest for people who love crunching numbers and looking at trends. I fully admit to that as well. (I probably check that goofy Gallup junk as much as you do. ) I just hate how it is used to create news. If I hear another news anchor use the word "momentum" about anything other than Newtonian physics, my TV and I are going to create a domestic disturbance.<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U

Just like Poly says.<br>If the Superdelegates vote the way their constituents do, then Obama wins.<br>As long as 11 Massachusetts superdelegates vote for Obama, he wins.<br><br><br><br><br>

You didn't hear this from me, but...<br><br>Gallup 3/25-27/08 - Obama 50% (+2), Clinton 42% (-2) Trending upwards despite his so-called "worst week ever."<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U
