Officials tell the AP that Hillary Clinton is prepared to acknowledge Obama's delegate tally. (June 3)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination. The Associated Press tally is based on the number of delegates who have publicly committed to Obama, as well as more than a dozen who have privately committed. It also includes the minimum number of delegates Obama would get even if he loses the final primaries in South Dakota and Montana.Obama is the first black candidate to clinch the presidential nomination of a major party.He outlasted chief rival Hillary Clinton in a long primary that sparked record turnout, but exposed deep racial and gender division within the party. Clinton speaks Tuesday night in New York.Campaign officials tell the A-P that Clinton will acknowledge that Obama has the delegates needed to win. However, she does not intend to formally suspend or end her campaign.SOTChuck Babington/The Associated Press"I think she's just being realistic. The numbers have not been in her favor"Obama will face Republican John McCain in the general election. ___ ___, The Associated Press. Tags: primary rdp clinton concede delegate race obama |

Both states had their delegates stripped because they held their primaries too early. (May 30)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:clinton/obama split screen]Democratic divisions will be on public display this weekend. The party's rules and bylaws committee meets Saturday to discuss what to do about Michigan and Florida. The Democratic National Committee stripped both states of their delegates because they held their primaries too early.Hillary Clinton's campaign is pushing for all of the delegates to be seated.She won both contests, but only after all candidates agreed not to campaign in Florida, and Obama had his name taken off the ballot in Michigan. Democratic strategist Jenny Backus says it's likely the committee will settle on a compromise.SOTJenny Backus/Dem Strategist"what we'll probably see happen is a split. The committee will give the state's half their delegates...."The biggest story Saturday could be what's happening outside the meeting.Clinton supporters are mobilizing for a protest that's expected to include several busloads of Clinton backers from Florida. Democrats say there's a danger of showing too much anger this late in the primary season.SOTJenny Backus"there's a lot of anger among Clinton supporters and it's all going to play out in public...."No matter what happens Saturday, Obama is growing increasingly close to clinching the Democratic nomination.The primaries wrap up with votes Sunday in Puerto Rico, and Tuesday in Montana and South Dakota.The party is hoping a solution on Michigan and Florida will keep the contest from dragging on into the summer. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Hillary Clinton's Fuzzy Delegate Math: Michigan and Florida Take Michigan: Even though it was an "election" worthy of Joseph Stalin or Saddam Hussein, with no major opponent on the ballot (because the others honored an agreement she retroactively broke), 41% of voters chose nobody when given the opportunity to vote only for Sen. Clinton. Here's what would have happened in Michigan if Hillary Clinton had not been the only leading candidate on the ballot : Based on exit polls taken at the time, she would have received 46% of the vote to 35% for Obama and 12% for John Edwards. That means that, with Edwards' endorsement, Obama would now be getting more Michigan delegates -- and more of its "popular votes" -- than Clinton. But because he honored the agreement and she didn't, she now wants a one-sided agreement that rewards her behavior. Or take the Florida election: Clinton and her supporters want those votes counted because it will add numbers to this "popular vote" argument. But John Edwards got 251,562 votes in that invalidated primary. Shouldn't those votes be added to Obama's total now? That would bring Hillary's meaningless "popular vote" margin there down from 294,772 to 43,000. Throw in the votes from Dodd et al. and Hillary actually lost Florida's "popular vote" (she received 49% of the vote total). See how meaningless this metric really is? Please, Clinton supporters: Stop using this damaged and destructive logic. I know that "counting every vote" sounds like a high-minded principle, but it's not. When the Clinton campaign dreamed it up, they knew it would mean defending a Stalin-like vote in Michigan and using M.C. Escher logic in Florida, but they guessed that these nuances would be lost on many supporters - and they have been. They knew it meant reversing a pledge that Sen. Clinton acknowledged on video (in defending the fact her name stayed on the ballot), but so what? Apparently "counting every vote" is a more compelling "principle" than "keeping your word." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/more-people-have-voted-ia_b_104093.html A reader writes: My question to you and anyone else who may be interested is: Why is it that the Democrats who played by the rules are now to be punished? I am a 51 year old white woman with two daughters who live, work and attend school in Florida. Both of them played by the rules and did not vote in the Florida primary as they were told their votes would not count. Why is no one concerned about their disenfranchisement? Why should people who broke the rules and voted be granted better treatment than those who did the right thing?..the rules are for the little people, not the Clintons. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/05/playing-by-the.html What you'll see televised from the DNC's Rules and By-laws Committee meeting on Saturday, May 31, will be a swarm of irate Hillary Backers carrying signs and protesting any possible outcome of the Mich./Fl. debacle other than a no-fault decision with the votes going to HRC. She needs 'em. And she needs the rules changed, despite the fact that she agreed with the DNC's decision last fall. But that was when she was still "inevitable". While Camp Clinton bats their collective baby blues and denies organizing a mini-mob scene to influence the decision..they've been actively urging Clinton supporters to pressure the DNC to fix the game Hillary's Way.Obama's volunteers, with a little encouragement, could have overrun the city. They got no such encouragement. What Obama volunteers got from HQ was a clear message: Do not go. Do not protest. Do not pressure the DNC. This is not who we are. We are about changing this kind of political posturing. There are better ways, more positive ways, to use your time. Phone banking. Canvassing. Registering new voters. Whether he liked them or not, Senator Obama played by the DNC's rules in Michigan and Florida. Senator Clinton thought the rules were just fine so long as she was front runner and destined to win the nomination. The specter of losing compels Hillary to change the rules. Of course, she's not playing this bait and switch game only because she has to win this thing any way she can--she's the new, improved populist who cannot bear the thought of a single vote not counting for all it's worth. Not a one. Unless it's a caucus state vote. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-hansen/washington-rules-committe_b_104264.html Tags: Barack Obama Hillary Clinton John Mccain Montana South Dakota Iraq war George Bush bill iran puerto rico primary edwards |

Alex Jones: Ron Paul Win by Delegate Process? When I first posted this, I was pretty sure Alex Jones was right. Now, upon further reading and understanding of the delegates process, I think AJ is wrong on this one. I do, however, believe it is a debate worth having and AJ's position cannot be ignored, because it WILL come up during the SUCCESS OF RON PAUL! Reading the following article is what finally changed my mind.

Hillary Clinton's Fuzzy Delegate Math: Popular Vote Fallacy Look at Clinton's math. She leads only if you give her 328,000 votes for the Soviet-style Michigan election, while giving Obama zero for not being on the ballot. And if you then ignore the caucuses of Iowa, Nevada, Maine, and my own state of Washington -- where a record quarter million people turned out to participate. Our votes don't count under Clinton's math. She disappears them down the memory hole of history in an argument that invents reality as much as Bush's claims of Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction or Clinton's earlier story about running the gauntlet of Bosnian sniper fire. Clinton said, "No matter what happens, I will work as hard as I can to elect a Democratic president this fall." But then she insisted once again, that "we are winning the popular vote." This lie undermined every word she said about coming together...The superdelegates understand the real math, or they ought to. But given the "bitterness" of so many Clinton supporters toward reality that the woman they thought would be America's first female president will not be, the more they hear a story that suggests Obama's win is illegitimate, the more likely they are to bolt. If Clinton's voters embrace that story that "a man took it away from a woman," denied her a victory she rightly deserved, they're at risk of staying home come November, or holding back from the volunteering and the get out the vote efforts necessary for the Democrats to prevail...polls actually have Obama doing marginally better in Michigan than Clinton, nor have they explored the impact of roughly 60,000 Democratic voters who crossed over in Michigan to vote Republican...Clinton's argument also ignores that this isn't how the rules are set up, and that if they had been, Obama would have made more than three brief visits to California and one to New York State. Clinton's been praised of late for refraining from any truly outrageous comments, like her claim, following the Indiana and North Carolina primaries two weeks ago, that only she has the support of hard working white voters...every time she claims she has a popular majority, she's shattering whatever ceasefire exists and making it that much more likely that her supporters stay home come November. If she really wants a united party, she needs to stop, and the media and the superdelegates need to hold her accountable. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-loeb/the-bosnian-sniper-math-o_b_102979.html It is incomprehensible to me that Mrs. Clinton can seriously be touting the notion...that she is leading in the popular vote and should therefore be seriously considered as the most electable candidate in the November election. She's including those who voted for her in Florida and Michigan's name recognition ballot saying that to exclude them would be to disenfranchise them. What about the Democrats in Alaska, American Samoa, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Nebraska, Washington, Hawaii and Wyoming who did not cast ballots because they were playing by the pledged delegates playbook and voted by caucus. What about them? Certainly if the rules are going to be changed and judgment is based on the 'popular' vote those voters in the eleven caucus states and Samoa will be disenfranchised. What about them? And what about us? What about the American people? Haven't we had enough of Mrs. Clinton's mad antics in her pursuit of the realization of venal personal ambition; her 'say anything, do anything, no matter what' effort to manipulate our all too willing media to gull this country's populace into believing that her wretched illegitimacy is indeed legitimate. How much mendacity do we have to suffer, how much brazenness do we have to swallow before someone, anyone, has the decency, the common sense, to relieve us of this terrible trifle, this pathetic madness? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/donald-sutherland/hillarys-popular-vote-not_b_104152.html What you'll see televised from the DNC's Rules and By-laws Committee meeting on Saturday, May 31, will be a swarm of irate Hillary Backers carrying signs and protesting any possible outcome of the Mich./Fl. debacle other than a no-fault decision with the votes going to HRC.

Democrat Super Delegate Donna Brazile says "I Get Two Votes" CNN Democratic SuperDelegate,CNN political analyst and longtime Clintonite Donna Brazile contributes to this informative discussion an primer on the whole SuperDelegate process... (The quote takes place at 2:35) "...I was appointed in 1998 by Bill Clinton and Al Gore and Dick Gephardt, and yes, our role is to help build the party, not to decide elections. I get two votes. I get a vote on Tuesday here in the Democratic primary in the District of Columbia.That vote is mine. But as a SuperDelegate, I believe that vote belongs to the American people...And Therefore I will withhold committing to any candidate until the voters decide..." CNN February 09 2008 OFUMedia Comment: Let there be no doubt as to whom she will vote for when the time comes. Donna Brazile has been bought and paid for by the Clintons. At the end of the CNN clip, she does say that if she has to decide the nominee in this fashion, she will vacate her position on the DNC. Yea, just like Hillary kept her word not to campaign in Florida, and even now they are lobbying to try and claim those disputed delegates that have been nullified. Let's not forget, as a SuperDelegate, Bill Clinton gets two votes also.
