Comments on: Edwards to endorse Obama - UPDATED http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2008/05/14/edwards-to-endorse-obama/ Fri, 5 Sep 2008 22:41:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.5 By: nonaubiz http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2008/05/14/edwards-to-endorse-obama/#comment-32459 nonaubiz Thu, 15 May 2008 15:34:25 +0000 http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2008/05/14/edwards-to-endorse-obama/#comment-32459 What is the point of 60% the primaries at all? Why bother to have them? For the citizens of those states why bother to vote? Apparently in a “not-close” race the second and third place candidates are supposed to quit after New Hampshire, certainly by Super Tuesday. In a close race such as we have the second place candidate is supposed to quit in March no matter what, (apparently). Why should West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky and Indiana even get to vote? Why is the purpose? Why not make those elections illegal? I think the press would approve. Obama is not going to get enough delegates to win the nomination at the convention without the "super delegates" who used to be known as the "back room". So therefore there should be a true convention. That was what conventions were invented for. You vote for your candidate on the first ballot and then you have a true American debate and get on with the business of electing a candidate. What is the point of 60% the primaries at all?

Polling for those states says that ain't gonna happen. Clinton has to totally crush Obama in the last few primaries to have any chance. Polling for those states says that ain’t gonna happen.
