V.I. Superdelegate Supports Clinton, Then Obama, Now Back to Clinton

Hillary and Chelsea did some fantastic campaigning in Puerto Rico.
America is slow to recognize the dynamo that is the Caribbean in the making right now. Obama doesn’t get this tonight. I’m sure he will next week.

Kevin Rodriques is a smart man, he sees who should win the nomination. Hillary is my no:1 choice, John Mccain is second! GO HIllary! DJM

Donna Mohler i doubt you are even a Hillary supporter. I support Hillary but i am starting to deal with reality. Nevertheless, I will vote for Obama because this election is too important to let emotions cloud my mind. If you are a true supporter of Hillary’s positions my only hope is you think twice, clear your head and vote for The Democratic Choice in 08!

Wonderful change. Smart choice.
We will see more SDs switch to Clinton!!

i feel sorry for this superdelegate.the pression from the clintin camp was too much for him to handle.

Smart man! Who’s next?
Hillary 08!

DonnaMohler-
Any Clinton supporting democrat who would vote for McCain if Clinton doesn’t get the nomination is a narrow-minded fool. If you don’t understand the far-reaching consequences of voting for a man who would have your children die in Iraq and call it a noble cause despite the fact that we all know, or should know by now that it was a war waged based on the basest of lies told to the American people, who would take away a woman’s right to choose, who knows nothing about the economy at a time when we are billions of dollars in debt to countries like CHINA, who owes his political life to lobbyists, who professes to be an expert on foreign policy but who can’t get his facts straight on the ethnics involved in the war in Iraq, who calls it “surrendering” if we pull out our troops despite the fact that this is a civil war we started and will NEVER “win” no matter how long we stay there, who would minimize if not totally do away with the separation of church and state which is one of our constitutional rights in this country, at least it was one of our rights until Bush got his slimy hands on it and distorted it beyond recognition, well, you and your kind are idiots and it’s really unfortunate for the future of our country that you have the right to vote because you don’t have the intelligence to make a good decision. You people will be instrumental in the continuing destruction of America. Good work folks. You’ll get what you deserve.

This is the Clinton campaign statement.
Where is HIS statement?

This superdelegates got overwhelmed with the hype on Obama.
But he woke up and see the light.
Hillary is the right choice.
If you are thinking November then Hillary is the right candidate.

Hopefully the super delegates will open their eyes and realize Hillary is a scam artist who cannot hurt them. They can come out into the light and endorse Obama.
Obama is the best candidate
Obama is the only one to beat McCain.
Obama for President 2008-2012

None of the campaigns should trust that snake. I bet he’ll be looking for another reason to switch again and again until his pockets are full. Mr Flip flop for real.

Thank you, Kevin Rodriguez! You are obviously a very astute man and I hope
you can convince other superdelegates to
do the same!

I dont think Hillary is a stronger candidate. Especially when Fox News and Rush Limbaugh says she is. Think about it these people want republicans in office!! Super Dels should realize this!!! Obama is the best candidate!! and Obama is the only one to beat McCain!!!

This was probably a stunt from the start. Switch from Clinton to Obama, then two weeks later switch back to Clinton to create a false sense of movement. There is no movement. Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

How can you count PR’s primary as a basis of winning the popular vote they are as relevant as Guam and then discount caucus states. Their votes don’t even count in the general election.

Aha! He realized that Hillary is the Real Deal.

I am an a democrats reristered and im for hillary. But it gets to the point now that im being fed up by those OLD IDIOTS democrats who are in OBAMAS favor, sorry OBAMA you will not get my vote and not deserve my vote, i vote for mccain if I must. I dont trust that OBAMA speeches!

Actually, Deval Patrick is about the closest thing we can compare to BO. He gave the lofty speeches, galvanized the masses, spoke of mighty “change” from the highest dais…Guess what…Turns out he’s a very ineffective Governor of Mass….hmmmmmmm.
…………………………………
Obama can just thank his lucky stars there are caucuses tailored just for his demographic, and fortunate most people don’t get to vote at all in a caucus, and he’s lucky that although he lost TX by 100,000 votes, he still received more delegates..That’s a hoot! I’m sure he’s thrilled with all the red states he claimed victory in. That’s sure gonna bring it home for him in November. Again..Hillary tried to warn you far left liberals.

Hillary will lead the Popular Vote totals after the Puerto Rico Primary, even when FL and MI are NOT included.
We’ll be seeing a lot more Obamaites jumping off the Obama Boat and getting on board with Hillary a week from now.

Is this the best the Clinton campaign can come up with??????

Hillary needs 95% of the remaining Super Delegates to win the nomination. The race is over no matter how much more blubbering you Hillary lovers do.

Seems the Obama supporters like polls just fine when they support your candidate. I guess you find them more credible then. What is amazing is how well Hillary polls eventhough she is declared politically dead.

wonder how much that one cost

And people actually WANT the Dems to “be in charge”?
They can’t agree to keep their own rules without someone screaming and hollering about how “unfair” it all is.
They flip-flop on who they support.
Not to mention all the other problems: Big government, big taxes, less personal choice, less tolerance.
Yeah, they’ll do so much better than that other party.
On the bright side, they’re educated (FWIW. Not much IMHO).

I’m curious what the “quid-pro-quo” is behind the switch back and even more curious as to why this Mr. Rodriguez has not given an official statement regarding his switching back to Hillary. I smell that something “shifty” is going on here and at this point in the game, the Clinton campaign is so desperate, they will do just about anything. On a serious note though, this is nothing but a small victory for Hillary that really amounts to nothing. Who needs this “flaky” man’s endorsement anyway? Not only does it not carry any weight, it is also not bringing Hillary’s numbers anywhere close to winning the nomination.

If Clinton STEALS the nomination, Obama supporters will encourage him to run as independent and he will win. He has the money, he has the support. It is time for change and only Obama will give us that change.

I hear Hillary is demanding a debate because she is a cunning linguist.

Anybody who has ever followed the work of the Clintons knows they don’t have a racist bone in their bodies. They have been fighting for civil rights and educational rights their entire lives. The Clinton Foundation gives more to fight aids in Africa than any other foundation. Sure, the Democrats need the AA to vote for them, but no more so than they need hispanics, asians, whites.
Jesse Jackson Jr. injected race into this campaign early on, but the msm shut it down rather quickly. What Bill said wasn’t racist at all. Even Jesse Jackson said it wasn’t, but Obama’s campaign staff began disseminating memos to the press stating how terrible the statement was, and this was a marvelously smart thing to do. By doing this, Obama solidified his AA support, so he no longer had to work for their vote. He didn’t feel the need to go to the Black Forum in N. Orleans as Hillary did. He didn’t feel the need to go to Memphis on MLK anniversary as Hillary did. He didn’t feel the need to campaign in black districts of IN as Hillary did…he knew he now had the AA in his back pocket. Independent thought is a beautiful thing..yes?!?

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways! Let me know if (or when) a super delegate who originally supported Obama switches to Clinton. I doubt it though. But that’s news WORTH reporting. Otherwise – I am not going to waste my time on stories about unstable people.

i wonder how much of the donations that people have given her she spent to get that super shes one sad lady she will never get my vote if she gets elected i stay home on voting day!!!!!

Wait until tomorrow evening. Everyone will know the truth about Obama! Finally.
Hillary 08

Somebody started to see the truth.
Hopefully will wake up the 200 plus Superdelegates.

catleya
I am certain that Obama will remain just out of reach after the end of the primaries and the SDs will refuse to endorese till the convention because the media can hype all the want they cant influence the election of the wrong candidate!

Fae
whether the truth comes out about him before the end of the primaries or at the convention it will come out!

John
we shall see who would win between Hillary and Mccain but Obama is not the stronger candidate… even the republicans are piling on myths now !

Eddie
well the book is being written as we speak as to how Obama has risen to power through corruption … corrupting him in the process!

Staniam,
I’ve been thinking why these uncommited SD have not endorse any of them.
Are they waiting until the convention?
It means , this is not over.

What worries me the most, is that the media is in Obama’s pocket.
It is a sad day when a former Dem like myself gets the most fair and balanced news from FOX!!!
Once Chris Matthews went on about the tingling…I knew I had to find another news station.

I am starting to think that the Hilary campaign has lots of paid supporters on these comments as no reasonable human beings could actually see things the way that these people do.

The truth is that Obama has been paying supers all along…excuse me..I mean he “contributed” to their campaigns.
This is just the tip of the iceberg
In June, Obama gave $5,000 contributions from his PAC, Hopefund, to every Democratic member of Congress from Iowa and New Hampshire. On June 15, he gave to Reps. Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire, and Reps. Bruce Braley, David Loebsack and Leonard Boswell of Iowa. At the end of the month, he wrote a $5,000 check to Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa).

These Obama supporters call Hillary supporters moron, uneducated etc.
They call Hillary, Bill corrupt?
Do they even know about Obama? Are smart enough to know about Rezko case?

Making them believe in what they
see
….
and what they hear
is part of the process
…and i call it
“working the system”
obama…speech 07

staniam.. I am quite sure either he/she is the same person from earlier…omentum or some crap like that…was doing the same thing…just put on ignore…
Ignore…what we will do to Obama’s name on the ballot…

Raleigh Voter,
No it’s me Davis, I am always Davis… Ask your little fellow Clinton Koolaid drinker Staniam, he knows!
Hillary and all the lying Clintons are out! And Next McBush is going down!
Obama 08!!

McCain is no Bush…I have been following him for years now.
Even as a Dem, I admired him for going against his own party on various issues.
I am an Indy now and will likely vote for him since the Dems can’t seem to convince enough people to vote for their nominee…including me

I would like to know why you think Edwards would want to destroy him and how he would do that by endorsing him…sorry…i just don’t get that

I guess the Clintonites are digging pretty deep if they think a super delegate who doesn’t even live in the United States will start the surge and turn the tide. I know when I think of Powerhouse influential democrats to mount a comback around I always look offshore.. Dont we all.. WOW they will stop at nothing to cling to a dream that is becoming a nightmare for all of us..

Not all super delegates are dumb. It’s time to wakeup, DNC Leaders and liberal Dems.

Some will say that wisdom comes with age…
McCain still has life left in him…he will get my vote…look how old his mother is…talk about good genes…geez…wish that ran in my family…

Davis…I do not quite get why you go on and on accusing others of being “plants” when you are here doing the same sort of thing.

If people cannot see just what a political panderer Obama has been these last few days then I am willing to bet that Obama can do no wrong in the eyes of his supporters.
The stuff he has been doing as of late would not bother me so much if he had not premised his campaign on being so different.

Young and feeble minded people blogging here tonight…and I am not referring to myself since I must be one of the old hags that voted for Clinton.
Petty insults do nothing but make the insulter look petty

Some of us do have a life, have a family, have a job and have a clue. We know all about each candidate, not just what we want or would like to know.
It is so comforting to have my thoughts in regard to Obama and his supporters justified night after night on these blogs. At least I know that I am doing the right thing when I vote for McCain in November.
Thank You and Keep up the good work alienating 1/2 of the party that you claim to support. Nice Going! :-)

Raleigh Voter,
Go for it! Go vote for McBush, you and the maybe 100-150 Hillary supporters that constantly are on these blogs putting forth your fuzzy math and your Clinton lies…
You think you will make a difference?? Ha, ha, ha!!
THE BARR FACTOR will cancel-out you and most of the die hard old ladies that still cling to Clinton!

staniam,
You insect, Obama won your state NC already, and will it again in the general!
Your little name calling and lies won’t stop Obama in the fall. You losers can’t stop a movement in the country for change like this!
FACE THE FACTS YOU CLINTONISTAS!!!!

I don’t really care if Obama loses in Nov. The real objective was to beat that big phony Hillary. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

I am an a democrats reristered and im for hillary. But it gets to the point now that im being fed up by those OLD IDIOTS democrats who are in OBAMAS favor, sorry OBAMA you will not get my vote and not deserve my vote, i vote for mccain if I must. I dont trust that OBAMA speeches!
Best comment of all!!

Umm. All you idiots realize that this guy doesn’t even get to vote in the real election. He isn’t an american citizen. It would be swell if he nominated Hillary for president of the Virgin Islands. I wonder if she could nuke Iran from there.

She is not a deciever.The press want you to think so. We are not naive. all politician lie through their teeth.
It’s an oximoron to be a politician and a Jesus Christ like @ the same time. It can never happen.
Who ever says this, is a pathalogical lier. Who ever beieves this is an idiot.
Hillary is a tested politician (read the definition of politician)and certainly knows how to deal and weal with any country! Duck the debates is no show of political or leadership wisdom. No debate , no resume, No job. NEXT!

staniam…I’m with you…he’s not up for the job if he can’t even debate Hillary in the several states (even before Penn) that he kept dodging her requests. He has dismissed her, early on. He cannot, however dismiss her supporters. He could offer me some of that 31 million he raised last month and I would throw it back in his face.
Every word he says, from now until November will be disected by the GOP and THAT gives me great pleasure. He will be looked into more than he has in the Dem primary and MORE will come out.

the southern strategy
of nixon
as fully implemented by Ronald Raygun most effectively
after Nixon’s appeal post chicago convention
to the vast
“silent majority”
obama wins 92% black vote
and combines this w/ appeal to
upper income whites
the splitting of the dem party
is accomplished
by a black unknown candidate
talking highly of the
“transformative politics of
ronald reagan” as he begins
his campaign in the western
states 07

Obama 1660 pledged delegates, Clinton 1500 and still winning elections. Superdelegates will decide this and they are like polls, don’t trust them until election day. Why we have conventions, people.

The DNC can do what it wants. It won’t change the fact that the USA wants Hillary.

the Obama camp wants to brand people as racists. . to make people feel guilty. It’s a psychological trichery ploy that works in war battles.Sales infomercial etc. It’s working like a charm. This campaign has no resemblance of a political stand whatsoever.All other issues are off limits. “Race and only race it will work as we keep the pressure to umberable heat”.

Who does Obama blame for his mentor Wright?

Davis,
Obama has made a sexest comment “Sweetie” remember? Now you or I wouldn’t think nothing of it but because it came out of the mouth of this year’s PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, he gotta lot of flack from the news media and of course HRC loyal women supporters.
Libre,
Did you just wake up or something? No one is talking about Michele nor Wright is that the ONLY ammo you have left?

PittBull61, We need to unite and get the Republicans out! These folks are drinking war juice..that is all they talk about while the economy is sinking..what about domestic policy? Charity begins at home! Lets take care of our country and leave the Iraqis to handle their business..we can help from the outside(diplomacy etc). Let us fix our country..so people can get jobs and buy homes,gas and send their kids to high quality schools. I do understand if 80% of the country say that the country is headed in the wrong direction..then why vote McCain when he a part of the establishment that is leading the country in the wrong direction? DUH! Vote Dems 08!

Anyone who says they wuld vote for Jonh McCain is a Republican. why would you vote for John MCain…becuase you are angry? that makes no sense…HRC and BHO have the same policies (if you ever read them). McCain is a failure. You people are not fooling anyone.

i see no red states. I see no blue states.
I only see 57 united states.

newera. NONE!

When voting people will pick the candidate that could do the job. They don’t care the President is a Republican or a Democrat. California is blue state but the Californians often pick a GOP as the Governor. We, the middle and working class are not vote for Obama because he is black or white but because he can’t distinct white or black (right or wrong). Otherwise, he will not listen to the pastor who hates Americans more than anyone in the world for 20 years.

Thank you Mr. Rodriquez!!!! Kudos to you for making the right choice. I just hope others that made their decisions prematurely will follow your example and back Clinton as more information comes to light about issues that will affect the outcome in November.
And for those of you that say this is money in action… Obama has spent much, much more in this department… that is common knowledge.

really….thanks for the laugh guys and gals…i really needed that..thanks..i love you!

For you who are taking all of these overused swipes at Senator Clinton, I have just some short comments:
Tony Rezko constant financial donations to influence Obama’s future help.
Mr. Obama’s unending contributions to superdelegates before they have declared support for him.
The literally thousands of top-end donations given by executives in the oil industry to Mr. Obama’s campaign.
And, how about this great reference he made to PMS symptoms – “I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal.”
Or this one about having a ‘cat fight’ – “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out.”
There were several more in his rallies, but you could care less anyway. As far as his supporters are concerned, he can do no wrong. But, they honestly need to look at the fact that their candidate is not as ‘super clean’ as he portrays himself politically.
So, get off your ‘high horses’!

I hope all the superdelegates wake up. Yesterday some of the the conservative media was talking about how the democrats are willing to nominate the weaker candidate of the two just so they don’t ruffle any feathers, even knowing that he probably won’t win the general. This is crazy. The main reason there are superdelegates is just for this type of scenario. I wish they would all get a spine!

rick that is such an insult to John Kennedy. Were you even alive then? I was. I was with Bobby too. Obama is nothing like JFK.
Lori

Superdelegates votes do not count till the convention and since neither can get the required number to win, this goes to the convention. then the supers can get up there and say for who they support and why. That boys and girls is called Democracy. Please God Bless America with a Hillary Presidency.!!!!

Why hasn’t this person come out and said he’s gone back to Clinton? So far, it’s reported that the Clinton camp said it. How do we know it’s true? They are not known for telling the truth.

The quote that they have for the flip flopper is a quote from Feb 18th!!! I have yet to see that he has switched or his name on the Clinton list of endorsements on her site. I think that everyone may be confused with the Rodriquez from TX. HE is on her list.

I knew there had to be a Superdelegate out there that is actually thinking about what is best for our country. Thank You!!

Dear CS3539:
You obviously were never a constituent of Hillary’s.
Me, I’m a Central New Yorker!
Hillary or Hell!

Thanks for the latest super-delegate using his good judgment and not being bought out by the Obama campaign.
I am a Clinton supporter. I wasn’t always one but early on when I watched her in the debates, I was extremely impressed by her knowledge, her spontaneity, her ability to think on her feet, and her grace under fire when sometimes she was treated rudely.
On the other hand, Obama away from his teleprompters and prepared speeches seemed very hesitant, almost tongue-tied at times. Looking uncomfortable and unprepared for tough questions reminded me of Geo. W. when he debated Kerry in 2004.
Then the stories came out about Rezko, Nafta-gate, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Michelle Obama’s negative comments about America and Americans as well as personal attacks against Hillary Clinton. Add in Obama’s own arrogant comments about small-town Americans and what I see is a candidate that I could never vote for President of the United States.
My vote is for Hllary Clinton but if Obama gets the dem. nomination, I will vote for McCain. I care more about my country than I do about some “blind” loyalty to the “party.” The last I heard we still live in a “democratic republic” where every citizen has the right to vote according to their own conscience and not according to the dictates of some “big brother” like entity.

I thought I would support Al Gore, but he decided not to run. So I looked around and Hillary was the one who really seemed to represent change. She virtually “invented” Universal Health Care in the USA, and when she says she will lead from day one I believe her.
Health care is important to me because I had cancer at 34, and now unless I’m employed, I can’t get insurance. I wanted to change jobs and to start my own business but my hands are tied with this insurance problem.
I have watched the Obama campaign be so vicious and underhanded and Obama shrewly plays the good-guy bad-guy game with Axelrod, so he can claim to be above the fray. I just don’t think Obama is sincere. Hillary is a down=to-earthn solutions oriented candidate and she definitely has built a broad coalition of people that believe in her leadership. Obama may be a Rocks Star and he’s attracted the young in big numbers, and the Black bloc, sexist, and drug users, but that’s not enough to win… and thank god, because Obama could be worse than Bush.
We need Hillary. Hillary will restore the USA to Peace and prosperity for all… I really believe she will be one of the greatest Presidents. She really cares about making a difference. Hillary is the one that will buck the status quo. Obama would never win. Hillary surly can face McCain and win.

whats with these democratic candidates.one is dodging bullets in bosnia and the other has an uncle in the red army.

First she used the Limbaugh operation chaos to win and now it’s operation Limbo. Obama won the VI by his largest margin and Clinton had in the neighborhood of 10%. But it doesn’t count as it was a caucus, like a number of states. Does that mean she isn’t counting Super Delegates (or Automatic Delegates in Hillary speak) from them.

Can’t decide who will butter his bread with added jelly? This is a game ridiculously close to bribery. I can see this being illegal ..it sounds like a banana republic election. Superdelegates can change their mind..determine the outcome of an election..and let’s face it..be bought and paid.

If the democrates loose come November, it would be ALL HILLARY CLINTON’S FAULT to a large degree. This is because of the loosing fight she brought about for so long. BARACK OBAMA for president.
