superdelegates are not committed btw until the final conference, where they go with the popular vote winner usually so.
That is kind of bizarre and disagreeable to me, but I guess it's to Obama's advantage, as Clinton currently has more superdelegates.

Jesus Christ, this is close! MSNBC has 838 - 834 in favour of Obama at the moment.

Seriously, I like them both, and I would be just as happy with either one of them as president. I just have a warm spot in my heart for underdogs, and I feel bad for Hill because everyone hates her so much... and the funny thing is that no one gives me the same reason as to why they don't like her and the reasons are never good ones to begin with.

What if she ends up as our democratic candidate? Will you guys vote for her, or vote republican, or not even vote at all? Would you be pissed?

I don't really have anything againts her...it's just that she seems so...fake. I mean they are so alike that you have to start looking at the little things. Like when she gives speaches I can't help but br annoyed by how robotic it feels, she looks down to see what she wants to say next. While Obama seems so INTO it....I know its not really a REASON its just hard trying to justify it.

Not only that, but she scares me, I remember reading something about her being bought out when she was trying to push a better health care system when she was the first lady.


EDIT: also, yes I would vote for her.

Obama is/was the underdog dude. Clinton was pretty far up in the Summer, she's fallen a lot.

I don't dislike Clinton at all. I just vastly prefer Obama.

If she became the candidate than yeah, I would vote for her. She's still far superior to McCain/Huckabee/Romney.

I know, that's why I used to prefer him. I didn't like Clinton very much, but not even I'm sure why I never liked her. The only thing I really dislike about Clinton now (besides the lifeless speeches she gives, as xeno|soft mentioned) is that she used to be on the Wal-Mart board...  :blarg:

yes. he did better than most expected, won more states, and narrowly won more delegates. he also outraised hillary 2-1 in January and looks to do the same in February.

I can't remember the exact number, but Hillary and Obama have been spending an assload of money on their campaigns each day. It's in the millions. I remember that much.

EDIT: This was in preparation for Super Tuesday.
