Texas delegates are second-class

by illlaw1, Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 01:35:36 PM EST

A pattern of disparaging certain states has pretty regularly come from the HRC campaign.

Today the Politico reports that Joel Ferguson, a MI super-del (if they are seated), stated:

""Superdelegates are not second-class delegates," says Joel Ferguson, who will be a superdelegate if Michigan is seated. "The real second-class delegates are the delegates that are picked in red-state caucuses that are never going to vote Democratic."

How is this a good election strategy? That would mean that the HRC campaign considers Texas delegates to be second class. Is that a good way to get the voters energized to come out to support you?

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

Actually, Hillary supporters should boycott caucuses. Caucuses are undemocratic.

No need to worry about second-class delegates. Automatic Delegates will put her in the Whitehouse. It is inevitable. Then she can begin work on day one to eliminate this unfair practice.

AUTOMATIC delegates? (none / 0)

What are those?

Re: AUTOMATIC delegates? (none / 0)

Automatic delegates is the name Hillary suggested for Superdelgates. I think she's trying to imply they should "automatically" vote for who they originally endorsed (before the voters stepped in and messed everything up).

Re: AUTOMATIC delegates? (none / 0)

And the ones that haven't endorsed anyone?

Re: AUTOMATIC delegates? (none / 0)

I'm not sure, illaw. Hillary is changing the rules so fast that I honestly can't keep up.

I like your diary. You're instincts are right. Hillary is damaging her relationship with voters.

I've been sarcastic because I'm angry to see these tactics in our party. I hope I didn't offend you.

Thanks for the diary ;).

What are automatic delegates? I don't think boycotting caucuses is sound election strategy...

Thanks! I wanted to post in Hillaryland as a genuine supporter recommending the boycott.

But then I asked myself; "What would Obama do?"

Automatic Delegates are better than homicide bombers.


Bill Foster would agree, Barack Obama has coat tails.

Is that you Rush Limbaugh?

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

I hope Rush isn't in here. He'll do anything to elect Hillary, because Obama scares him to death.

If the Repugs become low-profile or worse yet, moderate, he won't have anyone to listen to his hot air. He'll be unemployed.

That will be it for him. He'd have to commit suicide before taking a Dem. handout for assistance.

Poor rush.

Boycott caucuses?

With that kind of thinking, you'd fit right into Hill's campaign team!

Look how well they're doing.

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

Yep. I think word of the boycott got out already. How else is the inevitable ship sinking so fast?

Except maybe mismanagement, lack of foresight, poor planning, uninspiring message, denigrating voters.

Nope. I's gotta be the boycott!

I'm guessin' he's a Clinton supporter.


This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

He's actually a co-chair of the Clinton campaign.

Amazing huh?

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

Nope. I'm an Obama-mama. I love to caucus. It's just that Hillary supporters shouldn't, because it goes against their very principles of fairness. Only Obama folks think caucuses are fair.

I love your signature line!

My sig. line is from Stephen Colbert's White House Press Corps Speech.  That man is genius.

Re: Texas delegates are second-class (none / 0)

As you may have noticed, I don't have a sig. I've been looking for one that I like.

I like yours very much.

What if I gave you credit? Something like;

This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

Plagiarized from blogger venavena (with his/her permission. Is that plagiarizing? I'm confused) Originally from S. Colbert.

This era of using famous words (which don't matter) is very complicated. Hillary steals words (which don't matter), but I don't wanna be like her.

What do you think, venavena?
