That's led to an uproar by some about the role of the 796 Democratic "super delegates" -- state party leaders, national party leaders and former Democratic presidents -- who get to act as free agents at the party's convention able to back any candidate they wish.

If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this," Donna Brazile told CNN this week.

1. Oh, pleeeeeeeeze???!!!

She is the most ineffectual spokesperson for the party ever. I wouldn't miss her in the least.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

2. I see her point. It would be like the Democrat Supreme Court taking it away.

Who came up with this Super Delegate crap? Shouldn't the peoples voices be the only ones that matter?

[Yossariant]

22. WHICH people's voices?

If one has more popular votes, should they all vote for that candidate?

If one has more delegates should they vote for that candidate?

If their state has more delegates pledged to a candidate, should they go with the "voices of the people" of their state?

If most voters in their state voted for a candidate, should they go with the "voices of most of the people" in their state?

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

41. Wouldn't Super Delegates technically be voting twice?

I'm sure these elected officials vote in there states primary, so they get to have another vote at the convention?

Anyone else seeing something wrong here?

No Super Delegates period.

[Yossariant]

46. The same thing could be said of the pledged delegates. They voted, too, in the primaries.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

36. she won't be alone

and the Clintons haven't minded destroying the democratic party in the past either, so nothing
will stop them.

The Clinton Campaign believes that the Los Angeles County election/primary went smoothly.
Smoothly for her, since the independent voters' ballots weren't counted thanks to the double bubble.

[charlyvi]

3. Bwahahahaha!!! Question:

If Donna Brazile stops being a Democrat, how do you tell? It's like when Fred Thompson dropped out of the primaries. How could you tell?

[jillan]

4. After what she did to Kerry after he 'lost'

her leaving can't be soon enough.

[goldcanyonaz]

5. Wonderful, perhaps many would join our party with another spokeswoman. She is awful.

[Capn Sunshine]

6. Good news bad news

I can't stand Brazile.

But I will also quit if that goes down. I've been a Democrat for my entire life. Activist for 37 years. That would tear it.

[lligrd]

7. And Then What?

Just surrender America? I'm not making fun just wondering what the real options are.

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Funny how we're supposed to change the entire election process this year. Why this year??

[madfloridian]

13. Because it was already changed by Hillary's superdelegates in two states.

Sorry, but that makes it a whole new ballgame.

[rodeodance]

15. explain

[madfloridian]

19. No, I have explained over and over.

Do some research. I post about it nearly every day.

[rodeodance]

33. sorry, i missed them

[scheming daemons]

9. A lot of people will join her....

[Sarah Ibarruri]

10. Why does the U.S. continue to have elections that aren't one man-one vote as it SHOULD BE? nt

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

11. Because people have their heads so far up the Founding Fathers asses.

Oh, heaven forbid we change our electoral process.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

23. Yeah what's this sh*t about worshipping some old men and ALL of their ideas?

Some of their ideas are going to DESTROY US yet we just keep on like the frikkin energizer bunnies with these old ideas they had. Jesus!

[mondo joe]

40. That's a very good question - though this is not an election.

This is a PARTY activity.

[madfloridian]

12. Which Democrat is DU going to attack next? Who will the next cult be?

Are you guys really aware of how bad things are getting here?

Donna Brazile is a good woman.

[scheming daemons]

16. Whichever one dares stand in the way of Queen Hillary's coronation..... Gore next....

These Clintonistas will be so angry at Gore for endorsing Obama, they'll start to become Global Warming-deniers.

They'll buy big SUVs and stop recycling.

That's how much they'll be mad at Big Al.

;-)

[rodeodance]

18. Your Clinton hatred is preventing your from thinking before your spew off vile!

[rodeodance]

14. God quick Donna!

[MaineDem]

17. Donna's on the Rules & Bylaws Committee that made these rules

Just what is she complaining about?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

20. lol yup

[Cameron27]

29. Excellent question.

[CyberPieHole]

21. Will she leave if the "super delegates" go to Obama? Or just if they go to Clinton?

No one should stop her from going...if she wants to quit let her. Buh bye.

[guruoo]

38. Exactamundo.

[DURHAM D]

24. Typical Donna - Its all about Donna. n/t

[dicknbush]

25. Don't let the door hit you ...

In your abundent postierior on the way out Donna

[Straight Shooter]

26. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord ...

... you know.

[scheming daemons]

27. "Praise Jesus!"???? I thought you Clinton supporters didn't like "revival speak"...

...

[knowledgeispwr]

35. It's selective dislike on the part of *some*

particularly nasty supporters. Let's not paint with a broad brush.

[angie_love]

28. Donna Brazile is always backing Hillary, so I don't know why you don't want her

[Cameron27]

31. Donna Brazile has NOT always backed Hillary,

she was spouting Axelrod's BS about Bill Clinton's fairytale remark for a few weeks. I honestly think someone finally told her to STFU because she was tearing the party apart.

[ecstatic]

30. You seemed to have missed the point: Do you want party elite deciding on our nominee?

And to the people who have responded that she should go, apparently she was good enough for Al Gore. Who cares what you think?

:shrug:

[Samantha]

32. This is an extremely serious issue, whether or not one likes Donna

Brazile. I have been talking about this on this website. This problem has the potential of splintering the party and damaging its ability to win elections for decades to come. If Donna Brazile gets up and walks out, rest assured, she will not be alone.

[calteacherguy]

K&R for Donna I'm with her!!!!!! nt

[calteacherguy]

34. K&R for Donna I'm with her!!!!!! nt

[guruoo]

37. Funny -I don't recall her raising this issue before the primary began

[guruoo]

39. "the Obama and Clinton campaigns have been actively wooing super delegates."

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=4261986&page=1

[marcellobarrios]

42. So NOW rules don't count, heh? But when it comes to FL and MI, they do count

I don't understand some "Democrats" and their selective love for rules.

[Eric J in MN]

43. Why didn't she get the rules changed before this year? NT

NT

[Evergreen Emerald]

44. She is continuing to shill for Obama

She knows if there is a tie, the superdelegates will go to Clinton.

[publicatlarge]

45. This has become a problem, because...

...we have another candidate created by the MSM. Obama's rise in this election has been driven by his own skills and character, but more especially by the MSM. Without the collusion of the MSM, and their manipulation of elections - we would not have these close and 'divisive' elections - which have become the norm in this country.

That's the problem.

The corporate media is the problem. Ask Al Gore, or read The Assault on Reason.

[Desertrose]

47. And our votes count how again?

Seriously, she makes an intersting point, doesn't she?
