If I were a betting man I would imagine that Florida will be allocated half of their delegates, but the delegates will be apportioned by voting results. That is what the Repubs did and would seem fair.

As for MI, their legislature already came up with a compromise but Hillary has rejected it. I really don't know how MI will be resolved, especially when Hillary admitted that it wouldn't count back in November, but they will end up splitting the baby somehow.

Whatever happens Obama will still come out with more delegates and more votes, but there is still no reason to force Hillary out. If she wants to waste her money go ahead and let her.

Vern, which party has more ties to Abramoff? Seconldy, Landrieu has always been more of a moderate than a dem. Hell, she even voted for the estate tax repeal.

I wonder if UC even realizes that there are blacks out there who are more racist than anyone.


Kip: Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.

OK so now we now it isn't whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, the real question to ask when determining if someone is a scumbag (family values wise) is "are you a politician from New York?"

Joe you are absolutely right, I was going to answer my own question with this:

Primary results are a very, very bad predictor of general election results.

So is the Dem party divided from now on?

Clinton had more black support in November 2007 than Obama did. If his appeal was entirely racial, as some people keep saying, explain that fact. Did he change races?

I have told this story here before, but I think it is appropriate here as well. In July of 2007 I went out to the seminar portion of the Essence Festival - a weekend here in NOLA which is mainly tailored to African-Americans from all over the country. Here I am, a white-male in a predominantly African-American setting, with my Obama gear on, trying to sign up Obama supporters. I can remember being told over and over by people that they were not interested and they were Hillary supporters. I have to admit that I was perplexed as this demographic seemed to be the easiest for Obama to pick up, but he was having troubles making in-roads. So to say that African-Americans are backing Obama solely because he is black isn't true. Obama has worked hard to garner their trust and support and Clinton has helped by scaring off their support.

Danni, be sure and mention that to 90 percent of black voters.

Those same black voters who were supporting Hillary Clinton up until the South Carolina fiasco? I think it is funny that before the race really started people thought it was crazy that Obama wasn't getting the African-American vote and that group was still backing Hillary. Now that Obama has won over that demographic they are only voting for him because he is black.

If this election becomes an election based on race then republicans will win. Hillary knows this. The fact that she is acting this way shows she has no regard for the Dem party.

Finally, when Obama names a white, populist male as his Veep, this whole thing will be over.

From the Pro-Hillary Ben Smith at Politico:

Now, the press has talked about the race in these terms constantly, so I won't feign shock. But it's a bit strange to hear it so bluntly from the candidate's mouth, and probably not a great way to endear herself to African-American voter.

And it's also noteworthy that the blunt talk on appealing to whites surfaces the day after the last round of primaries in which there's a substantial number of black voters.

I think Hillary may be a little tired and/or desperate.

Rogers, I like the new look of the site on the blackberry. It is much easier to navigate.
