2 More Supers for Obama, 4 Total Today

by hootie4170, Thu May 15, 2008 at 01:50:45 PM EST

Rep. Henry Waxman (CA) for Obama

It is now clear, however, that the Democratic Party is nearing a broad consensus on our nominee. And it is with great pride that I endorse Senator Barack Obama for President.

DNC Larry Cohen (DC) for Obama

"I'm convinced that Senator Obama's message of hope and `change we can believe in' has resonated across our country. He is building a broad base of support, inspiring new voters to join in the political process and demonstrating great appeal to all those who are looking for positive leadership to move us beyond politics-as-usual in Washington."

Earlier today Senator Obama got endorsements from

Rep. Jim McDermott (WA)
Rep. Howard Berman (CA)

Barack now needs 132.5 delegates to reach 2,025.....

And 7 of Edwards pledged too (for the moment)...

11 in a day is not bad, but I think we will get to 15.

Re: 2 More Supers for Obama, 4 Total Today (2.00 / 7)

2,025?  But with MI, FL, PR, Canada, Mexico, Iceland, and Micronesia the number to nominate is 5,563.  Unless you want to disenfranchise good, hard-working, Clinton-supporting Canadians, Icelanders, and Micronesians, you fascist!!!

Re: 2 More Supers for Obama, 4 Total Today (2.00 / 1)

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the magical concept of addition, wherein small numbers combine to form larger ones?

It's kinda how Obama gets to 2,025, and no one else does.

And thank you for helping in the effort to turn the Supreme Court of the United States into the most conservative judicial vehicle since the Star Chamber and Inquisition.

Re: 2 More Supers for Obama, 4 Total Today (2.00 / 1)

Can I join you on Candycane Mountain where that actually happened?  Or do you not have any actual quote?

Yeah, yes you did imagine it.  It never happened, but it fits your worldview to imagine that he did.

Good for you.  Can you imagine me a sportscar while you're at it?

Re: 2 More Supers for Obama, 4 Total Today (none / 0)

That was fast (regarding Edwards' pledged delegates).  In any case, if Obama keeps up this 4 supers a day rate, he will hit 2025 in a couple weeks.
