Senator John Edwards' endorsement is like a pat on the back of Senator Barack Obama, because even heaven knows that Obama is winning the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party and does not need the help of John Edwards to get it. The support of John Edwards will not do much for Barack Obama in the presidential election and Senator John McCain can even beat Barack Obama in North Carolina, the home state of John Edwards. I am sure, Senator Hillary Clinton is not fazed by John Edwards' endorsement of Barack Obama. She is determined to continue her race for the Democratic nomination to the Convention. I believe the pledged delegates and super delegates will decide who is the better presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.

ENPR: Pa. Win Gives Hillary a Super-Delegate Wedge Outlook by Robert Novak and Timothy P. Carney Posted: 04/23/2008 Outlook Despite her impressive win in Pennsylvania, Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) still faces a very difficult path to the nomination. It is impossible for her to win more elected delegates than Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). It is possible that she could yet win a majority of the composite popular primary vote, but probably not without tallying the outlawed Michigan and Florida votes. Clinton's more feasible path—though very difficult—is to convince the super-delegates, by winning the remaining primaries, that she has the momentum. The two most important future primaries are North Carolina and Indiana May 6, but North Carolina looks nearly impossible, considering that half of the state's 2.5 million registered voters are African-Americans. That leaves Clinton with the hope that super-delegates will see Obama as a loser against Sen. John McCain (Ariz.). The attacks by he...

Senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain have reacted to Gov. Eliot Spitzer 's sex scandal. Hillary Rodham Clinton: “Let’s wait and see what comes out over the next days. But right now I don’t have any comment and I think it’s appropriate just to wish his family well and we’ll wait and see how things develop.” Gov. Eliot Spitzer is one of the Super Delegates who have endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama: “I really haven’t seen the details of it, so I don’t know what’s going on. I’m a little in the dark.” He declined to comment further. John McCain: “I was just watching, as all of you have, this information about the governor of New York. I don’t know what to make of it.’’ Later, he said that it was something that “nobody ever expected” and added, “Our prayers go out to his family.’’

The most popular American presidential candidates, Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on political bribery. Christine Escobar's "Obama, Clinton Fill Superdelegates' Wallets" is all the proof I need to confirm that American politicians are corrupt. Even, the so called "Mr. Change" Senator Barack Obama, who is boasting to change the corrupt political tactics of Washington has been bribing the Super Delegates to endorse him! The following politicians are on a long list of the Super Delegates Barack Obama bribed. 1. Rep. Bruce Braley of Iowa - $16,000. 2. Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa - $10,000. Rep. Melissa Bean (IL) - $19,000 Others included, Rep. Leonard Boswell (IA), Rep. Joe Baca (CA), Rep. Dennis Cardoza (CA), and Rep. Tim Mahoney (FL). Some received $18,826 and $19,000 each. Hillary Clinton also bribed many Super Delegates. Let me spell it out to you in CAPS. POLITICAL BRIBERY IS BRIBERY. See P...

Dear Orikinla, You've probably seen some of the news about the delegates it will take to win the Democratic nomination, including discussions about pledged delegates and automatic delegates, or so-called "super delegates." There are a number of misconceptions about the role that delegates will play in this election, so we've launched a new website, the Delegate Hub , to help you cut through all the myths about the race for delegates. The three most important things to remember are: 1) A candidate needs 2208 delegate votes to secure the nomination with Florida and Michigan included. 2) After weeks of voting, the race is a virtual tie, with Hillary and Senator Obama now separated by little over 2% of all the delegates to the Democratic Convention. 3) Both Hillary and Senator Obama will need automatic (super) delegates to win the nomination. Senator Obama has aggressively courted automatic delegates, while his campaign has simultaneously tried to discount their role in t...
