2025 Delegates

I was quite curious how the reaction would be to last night's primaries. I can't say I was surprised at all the posts on this board today. People flat out saying they won't vote for Hillary against McCain, and vice-versa about Obama...although fewer. It's still there though.

I love the passion of the Obama supporters. I can say openly that I'm not that passionate about any candidate in this race. I can say that I'm passionately against the Republicans in any case, and that's where I stand this election. I'm voting against them this election, for who I can think will beat them. Obama or Clinton fits that bill for me.
Period. End of story.

I can only speak for me, but I've been mentioning the division since I arrived here not long ago. Been called out on it, and I'm sure will continue to be so. I have to say though, if you think Clinton has been hard on Obama, what do you think the Republican machine will do to him? It's most interesting for me, because I know I'll be voting for one or the other no matter who gets the nod. I can't even understand someone (democrats) voting McCain.

You don't want to vote Hillary? So don't vote for her!!! I think there are more productive and less wreckless ways to handle your vote. I will say this, though, these comments come more out of spite than anything else if you'd be willing to toss your vote to the fascists that currently run our country.

Which brings me to the title of the thread. Neither of our candidates has the 2025 needed delegates to declare victory. It's very possible that it will end up being decided right at the convention, I don't see now how it could happen any other way...

2025...Good luck to our party. We fucking need it.

This has the potential to bring inside the convention what happened outside the convention in 68. And I intend to be one of the Denver 8.

LOL. Well, I guess I'll not be making the 3 hour drive to Denver for that, then...

good thread. Didn't Obama strat the divisions by questioning if his supporters would vote for Hillary?
And yes, most of Hillary's supporters would vote for Obama.

So you have to shake our monkey tress by shoving the candidate you want and keeping the old system in place instead of having someone who would throw the old system out? Still don't see any corporate money in Obama's campaign. Not to mention the lead singer has more drugs and chemicals in him than an NBC facility

I'm going to be working at the Denver convention and if Clinton wins because of the super delegates, there is going to be a riot.
