question about superdelegates

[onenote]

I recently saw a post that claimed that the "left" was leading the Democratic Party to defeat by supporting Obama.

I haven't seen a breakdown, but it seems to me that both HRC and Obama have been endorsed by some Blue Dog Democrats and that both HRC and Obama have been endorsed by some progressive caucus Democrats. Has anyone actually tallied it up along those lines?

1. both HRC and Obama are moderates. nt.

2. I like them both, but lets be real... his voting record puts him WAY left.

not saying that is bad... but it is the truth.

7. Can you elaborate?

How does his voting record put him far to the left of Clinton? By all measures I've seen, they're almost identical.

6. Its a class struggle, not a moderate stuggle

Its "coporates" versus "the people", monarchs against the resistance, and kings against the peasants.

3. Barack Obama is a triangulating centrist in the tradition of Bill Clinton

That's why this race is about Wright and race; little or no substantive differences between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the issues.

4. Hillary a moderate?

:rofl:

5. Its not the LEFT, its the DNC Democrats against the DLC Corporatists

It is a civil war at the highest levels of our party.

The DNC which is based on the core Democratic planks and the 50 state party lead by Howard Dean, versus the DLC which is based on centrist interest and corporate trickle down economy models, lead by former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe(head of Hillary Clintons campaign)

This is also why you see superdelegate and former DNC chairman David Wilhelm, who was Bill Clinton’s campaign chairman in 1992, endorsing Obama today.

The Democrats like Howard Dean and David Wilhelm are fighting for the people.
