Irrevelant Primaries?

February 17, 2008

Why are we spending tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars on all these primaries if they are irrevelant, don’t count, and it doesn’t matter? Why is Hillary spending the weekend for the Wisconsin primary if it doesn’t matter? Harold Ickes evidently thinks that democracy doesn’t matter any longer in America.

Harold, Ickes, a top Hillary Clinton adviser, on Saturday boldly predicted his candidate would lock down the nomination before the August convention by definitively winning over party insiders and officials known as superdelegates, claiming the number of state elections won by rival Barack Obama would be “irrelevant” to their decision.

He’s relying upon super delegate lunacy!

I wonder how long it will take him to either back-track on that statement or spin it in such a way that mis-represented what he said?

The claims no doubt will escalate the war of words between the campaigns, as Obama continues to argue superdelegates should vote the way of their districts. But the special class of delegates, which make up about 20 percent of the total delegate haul, are not bound to vote the way of their states and districts, as pledged delegates are.

Harold Ickes, a 40-year party operative charged with winning over superdelegates for the Clinton campaign, made no apologies on Saturday for the campaign’s convention strategy. “We’re going to win this nomination,” Ickes said, adding that they would do so soon after the last contest on June 7 in Puerto Rico. “You’re not going to see this go to the convention floor.”

By the way, the governor of Puert Rico just came out in support of Obama. And if the Obama tsunami keeps rolling, Ickes just might get washed out of the system.

Whatever the Clinton machine has done in the past, and however they have been able to muscle into existence whatever they wanted is no longer- Bubba isn’t the president any longer. There’s no need to be afraid of the Clinton machine. The wheels have come off of it in case you haven’t noticed.

[...] Primaries are irrevelant and they don’t matter. Only the professionals know who is best for America and that is Hill & Bill. They are entitled to continue the Clinton dynasty- to even out the Bush dynasty. Besides, we all know we can’t rust the electorate to do what’s right! Bill knows! Hill knows! You can trust Bubba.
