I'll trust McCain over any Democrat candidate.

Obama wanted a ban on all semi-automatic firearms, and more penalties for possession, and wants a national ban on concealed carry. So McCain > Obama on 2nd amendment rights. Obama also did not vote to ban partial birth abortions. McCain > Obama on that, too.

Not "seem", the correct word is "are", for the most part.

We know what a "clean" political campain looks like. It is in the Candidate Handbook labeled "How to Lose an Election."

As bad of a commentary on the American public, dirty works. Even if the public knows how despicable it is, it works. Hillary cried a day before a primary, and polls showed her going up more than 10%. Exit interviews showed that voters thought they could relate to her, and that it was brave to show that kind of vulnerability. Personally, I think it was a brilliant political demonstration, and a deliberate ploy to tug at the emotions of the voters. I do not for a moment think that it was spontanious or honest. I really do not like that woman, and that is one reason why.

So, he sets the gold standard for bad political media while asking for more fair and honest reporting? Is he fighting himself?

Does anyone honestly think Hillary will become the nominee?

there is a chance. super delegates. if that happens, they will effectively turn this independent, moderately thinking voter into a registered republican.

Well if that does happen, imo the only honorable thing for Obama to do would be to form his own party and run as president anyway. If the Democrats choose him over Hillary, then they deserve a chance to vote for him as president, whether or not he's still a democrat.

So Obama has more normal delegates but Clinton has more super delegates, and they're the ones that people can't vote for.

Why does she have more super delegates? Why is there even such a thing as super delegates, it seems like a farce. Obama seems to be getting the popular vote, but still might lose this...

Because regardless of what she wants everyone to believe, she is the establishment candidate.

There will be some serious shit going down if he wins the normal delegates but she wins cuz of superdelegates.

he is getting the popular vote. she has more superdelegates because people that were supportive of her husband during this career in politics are most likely going be supportive of her. these 255 have said that they would vote for clinton a long time ago. A lot of these folks are important members of government/demo party/community organizers. They could vote for whom ever they choose, but if they were smart, they would vote for the person who had the most votes. they would vote for a person that could beat mccain.

No chance Hillary takes it because of Super delegates (I know mathematically she can). However, it would kill the DNC in terms of credibilty.

The reason the GOP would want Hillary as the nominee is that she would rally the GOP together. Loyal GOP supporters are voting for Hillary in the states that have open elections (Since McCain is secured). Unfortunately for her the moderate REP/independents are outnumbering them.
