Delegate Totals: Does Our Vote Count?
Advertisements [?]
Okay, first the numbers;

Delegates Awarded By Voters
Obama: 63
Clinton: 48
Edwards: 26

Super Delegates;
Clinton: 184
Obama: 95
Edwards: 36

Total;
Clinton: 232
Obama: 158
Edwards: 62

Now my point. What the fuck are we voting for? Excuse my language, but really, what the fuck are we voting for?

I'm not just saying this because Obama is losing overall, despite the fact that he has more delegates from the acual voters. If this was the other way around I would be just as outraged. So please, spare me the Hillary hater comments.

If she was winning the voter delegates and this was happening to her, I would feel the same way. Injustice is injustice; reagrless of who it happens to.

My point is that I don't see why we aren't the ones choosing our candidate. I mean, I don't care of Papa Smurf was running, we should still have the say so in whether or not he was the candidate; ALL of the say so.

I don't vote for someone so they can turn around and tell me who I'm going to vote for for president.

What the hell are they doing in DC?

Any thoughts?
