Are Washington's (the state) two Senators still committed to supporting

[rhett o rick]

Sen Clinton in spite of the fact that Washington (the state) democrats want Obama? And we call this democracy.

1. The superdelegates are free to support whomever they wish

I disagree with their choice, but it's entirely within their right.

Richardson is going against the vote in his state to support Obama, isn't he?

2. Just because it is in their "rights" doesn't make it right. The Super-duper-delegate

system is to keep the rank and file in our places. The Party movers will have the last say. They would rather risk a McCain victory than yield to the grass-roots. Damn them, damn them I say.

3. They should be supporting Obama

considering the way Clinton was beaten decisively in both the caucus and the beauty contest. Gov. Gregoire is doing the right thing and has my respect, Cantwell and Murray are losing my respect and may lose my vote should their undemocratic stands continue.

5. So, Richardson, Kerry, Kennedy should be supporting Clinton?

is that what you are suggesting?

[rhett o rick]

6. Yes, if their constituents voted for Clinton. They should represent their constituents.

Or do I misunderstand a democracy. What is the purpose of the super-duper-delegates???

7. you are asking to change the rules in the middle of the election

Historically the super delegates were independent, beyond the sway of politics and hype. They are to evaluate the candidates and decide for themselves.

8. Are you willing to accept Sen Clinton as our candidate even when the majority of the people

want Obama? How is this democratic? Yes, the rules currently give the party insiders the power to do this but at what cost? How can this help the Party? I am assuming your candidate of choice is Sen Clinton, so you will accept winning at any cost? You are willing to risk loosing in the general to McBush. I am fighting corporate control of both the republican party and the Democratic Party. DLC equals more corporatism.
