Obama Ahead in Delegate Count?Posted on Feb 6, 2008
Super Tuesday’s aftermath is certainly providing a good crash course in American electoral politics as the results are sorted out. The latest surprising twist involves Barack Obama’s camp claiming a slight lead over Hillary Clinton in the total number of delegates racked up. Officially, the final count has not been determined yet.

By Grousefeather, February 7 at 12:39 pm # IdealogyWho cares if Obama becomes president if dispite all the lofty talk about change he turns out to be just another wolf in sheep’s clothing. My suspicion is that he’s being backed by wealthy corporate interests who also back McCain, that way the wealthy can’t lose. So far, I haven’t heard one straight or difinitive statement from Obama. But I’m just a disallusioned old guy listening for a nugget of truth and not hearing it. In my view Obama is long on words but short on real meaning and that’s makes him just like all the rest. The circus like excitement surrounding his candidacy reminds me that the voting public loves a good magic show and usually votes for a carefully packaged personality and not the policy.
By steve, February 6 at 1:56 pm # it doesn't matter anywaysIt really doesn’t matter who is ahead or tied...the bottom line is Hillary or Obama or even McCain will have to listen to the real people who run this country...the great leaders of our Multinational Corporations...the leaders in Exxon Mobile, Citigroup, the infamous Carlyle Group, and of course our friends in the Medical and Pharmaceutical companies to name a few. Everything else, the primaries and general election, is nothing more than a big show. To make you think you actually have a say in anything. The next President will have to do their bidding or face the consequences. At least in Obama’s case, who at least almost seems honest even to my cynical eyes, there would probably be some kind of scandal either real or manufactured to discredit him.

Reagan was promoting peace when HE was hit by a bullet that hit the car first. Imagine, everyone AROUND his gets shot even his car. Next agenda? Star Wars! Add Your Comment |
