"Christian" is not, it is yet another "unchangeable"... or at least, "mostly unchangeable."I just wanted to specify conservative because not all Christian are voting for McCain. The way conservative is used now though, it has a lot less to do with politics than it used to (almost all the policies are rooted in religion).]]><![CDATA[ImNotBlue @ 5/15/2008 11:00:06 PM]]>258450«tvirus : ...and McCain gets a lot of supporters because he's a conservative Christian.

As for these women, the only way Clinton will win the superdelegate vote is if the superdelegates go against the popular vote, which would really be grounds for a protest. Boycotting just because they didn't get their way fair and square is beyond ridiculous.Agreed... although "conservative" is a fine reason to vote for someone, because it's a political theory.

Their vote has much more clout than others. The whole 1-man-1-vote premise is thrown out the window with them. Their vote is equivalent to about that of 10,000 of the rest of us.
They will make up about 20% of the total number of delegates. This means they will have a huge effect on the outcome. This is why Clinton and Obama are courting the "superdelegates" with so much fervor.
That is another problem with the system. How do the candidates and their supporters "court" the superdelegates. What means do they use to try and convince one person with the power of 10,000 to vote for them? Do they use logic and reason? Do they use political debate? Or is it more likely that they may use other more personally persuasive offers?]]><![CDATA[unzercharlie @ 5/15/2008 8:59:01 PM]]>2583522008-05-15T20:59:01+01:002008-05-15T20:59:01+01:00
