I wonder how many people who voted in Democrat primaries and caucuses realized that their vote will really only count as 6 tenths of a vote? Forty percent of the delegates to this summer's Democrat Convention in Denver will be "Super Delegates," not elected in the primaries or caucuses. Presently those super delegates who have announced who they are voting for, are going for the Clintons by a two-to-one margin over the new guy on the block, Senator Obama.
Meanwhile, the momentum among the people actually taking the time to vote, is clearly for Obama. Even though the dinosaur media, except for NBC, announced that the Clintons had won Super Tuesday, in fact Obama won the most states and the most delegates. It is hard to buck the entrenched machine and old media, but Obama looks like he will be able to do it. Clinton's campaign is broke, and many of her contributors have already given the maximum allowed under the law. Obama, on the other hand, keeps bringing in new contributions. and huge turnouts everywhere he goes.
Obama is the Rock Star in this campaign. His speeches are soaring. However, as Mark Steyn points out, his speeches are beautiful music, with no lyrics. One day someone is going to ask him, "Where's The Beef?"

Thanks for the link. I'm still speechless about how little 'we the people' actually make a difference.
Been wondering when that will finally happen. I'm always amazed how superfacial people are about really important stuff.
