Pledged Delegates

Delegates that are acquired through the primary elections. They are awarded proportionally to the share of the vote garnered in each primary or caucus.

Superdelegates

Members of the democratic party's establishment. These delegates can support whoever they like and can change their support at any time.

There are 796 superdelegates. If neither candidate can garner sufficient pledged delegates to clinch the nomination, it is widely believed the superdelegates will side behind whoever is the "people's choice" (aka the leader in pledged delegates and popular vote).

Why close it? It's good I like being able to catch up on old news in the old thread too. I say just keep it going, it's like the Official Fighting Games thread.

You can still catch up on it, just not reply to it. I've had that discussion with a-game via PM in the past and it's fine this way. There is a lot of stuff that has become irrelevant by now in the other thread anyway, not to mention that people tend to not read a thread really properly once it becomes overly long.

Obama's got this one in the bag. All the polls indicate McCy's negative attacks and attempts to link Obama to Terrorist aren't working. There is no strategy left for John McCain to fail with.
Live to win.

Vote Nader to force the democrats closer to the center. Let them know otherwise they won't ever win another election.

Nader saved tons more Americans than McCain & Kerry together. He's a true American hero.

It would suck to lose this election due to complacency.
Hope democrats keep the energy to have a massive blowout election.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Right. Like I said. The mod should really make this thread more accurate: "Go Obama!"

Its great that when I make a claim its trolling but the people who make the opposite claim are discussing the 2008 presidential election, and so evidently are the guys with one liners saying I'm a troll.

I remember watching the second primary debate and thinking this dude's (Obama) got it in the bag.

He's tailor made to address the mood of the country and his message is simple, precise and brilliantly orated. Going up against the Clinton machine was his only decent obstacle but considering how she was shooting herself in the foot on a daily basis with her obvious double speak and blatant lies, it was fairly predictable to see she couldn't keep up the charade forever (but holy shit did she ever try to).

As for republicans? Please. Their platform is so fucked up and out of touch that them even competing at all is a testament to either the ignorance of party loyalty or people actually believing the fear mongering of the neo-cons and their war on a verb. They were over before they started. Then came McCain.. then came Palin.. Fish-In-A-Barrel.

The 15% voting for McCain so far in this poll should probably stop wasting time on this forum and back to the urgent matter of saving the country from barack's evil arab socialist agenda.

That's what every non-American thought with Bush vs Gore and Bush vs Kerry.
