These are some scary quotes from Clinton's communications director, Howard Wolfson. It looks like the Clinton campaign will try to steal the nomination with "superdelegates" if they lose with legitimate delegates from primaries and caucuses.
From the February 13 Boston Globe:
"I want to be clear about the fact that neither campaign is in a position to win this nomination without the support of the votes of the superdelegates,'' Wolfson told reporters in a conference call.
"We don't make distinctions between delegates chosen by million of voters in a primary and those chosen between tens of thousands in caucuses,'' Wolfson said. "And we don't make distinctions when it comes to elected officials'' who vote as superdelegates at the convention.
"We are interested in acquiring delegates, period,'' he added.
If the Clinton Smear Campaign and the party insiders steal the nomination by using illegitimate "superdelegates," they will have sent a message of utter hatred and contempt for Democratic voters and grassroots Democrats.
Also, if the Democratic Party steals the nomination to keep a man who is half African American off of the ballot, the Democratic Party will openly proclaim itself as racist as the Clintons and the rest of the GOP.
If Clinton actually gets away with this vicious attack on democracy and civil rights, the following will happen.
1) Many Democrats will stay home.
2) Many other Democrats will vote Green.
3) Many Democratic-leaning independents and pro-Obama Republicans will vote for John "Keating Five" McCain.
4) Clinton will lose at least 40 states.
Yep with all eyes on the super delegate sitch..there will be havoc straight up havoc..if the people's will is subverted. And yeah the machine needs to cop a clue..she is not the people's first choice for the Dem Nominee..period !
I also am concerned that Hillary and gang will win at all cost. While everything she throws at Obama isn't going to be anywhere near what Karl Rove et all will do, if she steals the nomination I may just stay home. This coming from a lifelong Democrat
If Clinton steals the nomination Michael Bloomberg will get behind McCain a nd skin her evil butt. And I will cheer. That hateful, self-centered woman will do anything to win but this will guarantee her stuning defeat.
