And the A-A community? (none / 0) (#161)

The same argument could be made about them. Where are they going to go? To McCain and kiss goodbye civil rights and any fairness in prosecution and sentencing laws? Yeah right. Also, you lean heavily on the women being in your pocket no matter how fairly Hillary is or is not treated. You can continue your delusions about that if you wish. I believe 20% have said they will not support Obama now (of Hill's supporters). With what you are proposing that can only go up.Foolish gambit you are suggesting. finally, consider the old codgers. Obama is alienating them with his ageism and statements about social security being in trouble. We vote (I'm an old codger too). He might very well lose them to McCain as well. So you want to make some adjustments to the argument that what is good for the party is to dis Hillary.

Finally, pledged delegate count is only one measure to consider for who should be the candidate. Especially so since how pledged delegates are obtained is so silly and idiotic. Popular vote is another indicator, which is also largely hard to establish due to thevoter suppression that occurrs in caucus process (many caucuses don't even report actual votes-- they are estimates), as well as winning key states, and the final subjective of momentum. Focusing on only pledged delegates is idiotic if one believes in a truly representative Candidate. Besides what is pledged now can change in the process from the caucuses-- we don't know and won't know for some time what the actual delegate count will be.
