Clinton Flips on Superdelegates

Adam, Barry, & Ellen,

I respect your accomplishments in life, and the fact that you feel you've made an educated decision when choosing your candidate. But as you suggested Barry, research matters. I did some of my own about Senator Obama and his so called campaign of change.

In Neverland Senator Obama does not take money from registered federal lobbyists and pacs. This makes him pure, new, and different. But here in the real world Senator Obama does in fact take money from lobbyists and pacs. It was well documented in the LA Times last year. But since the media, and the citizenry in general, like theatre more than reality they've let Obama have a free pass (as has the Clinton campaign for some reason).

In the real world the candidate of hope and change is in fact a duplicitous liar and a fraud, who has exploited every loophole he can to violate his own pledge while maintaining his pose of purity (so much for your character argument Ellen). Read all about it since you obviously haven't (I assume this as you claim to be educated and have done research; but I find it hard to believe that a rational, educated person would support a candidate who violates the central principle of his campaign on a daily basis).

Senator Obama is not going to change Washington. He likes it just the way it is; especially if it gets him into the White House.

Yes, research does matter. It's too bad that the 10 million plus Americans who voted for him didn't seem to do much of it.

I'm not thrilled with the choices we have left. The substantive candidates; Biden, Dodd, and most notably Bill Richardson, were forced out of the race as the media started running with the Clintbama show in January of 2007, as if they were the only candidates that mattered. Now we're stuck with two candidates who are woefully under qualified to be President; who will both inspire Republicans to crawl over broken glass to vote against them.

I was really excited about this election cycle. I was thrilled about the prospect of getting the Shrub out of the White House. I was excited about Bill Richardson; the most qualified candidate that has run for President in my lifetime, and one that could handily beat any Republican. Instead, I'm already looking forward to 2012, and will probably end up voting for my cat in November. At least then I won't feel like a schmuck for voting for Obama.

I've always considered myself a Jeffersonian. But the more I read the comments on blogs like this, the more I think John Adams was right about the mob.
