The democrats are so undemocratic…part of why I plan to remain a rebublican on paper, even though I will exercise my right to vote for whomever I so choose.
The candidates should be chosen by the people, not by this made up concept of “super” delegates. The very thought of that is offensive.
In North Carolina, even though Obama is the projected winner, the governor there has chosen to endorse Hillary Clinton. Don’t tell me that this white man is not threatened by the thought of a black man taking the position of president! Why else did he vote for Hillary, totally ignoring the wishes of his people who are going to choose Obama?
Inside sources and The Associated Press are reporting that North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley will endorse Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president today.
Easley is a Democratic superdelegate who has served two terms as governor. His backing will provide Clinton the institutional support she needs in a state where she is trailing behind Sen. Barack Obama for state’s May 6 primary.
Easley is a well respected leader among Democrats in North Carolina and makes him only the second super delegate from the state to endorse Clinton.
Six of the total seventeen super delegates in the state have gone for Obama.
On a more positve note, Obama is ahead in super delegates:
In the U.S. Senate, Sen. Barack Obama now has 14 endorsements compared to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 13, thanks to the low profile of Sen. Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico.

Well, Mike Easley has basically shown that he is only willing to go “just so far” with blacks. He went to law school at NC Central (a black school) and if memory serves correctly, his wife teaches there. This situation reminds me of what someone told me about the whole “Oprah endorsing Barack Obama” deal. It was stated that although Oprah has the clout to influence people to wear a certain outfit or read a certain book, the old white power structure is still ingrained in the minds of many whites (especially the Southern ones. The thought of a Black man being in charge is “unfathomable” and “unSouthern”. A lot will say how much they like Obama, but when it comes down to it, they just can’t seem to do it because the old paradigm won’t let them.
I so agree 2thehilt…While I personally am not endorsing ANY of the candidates, I must admit that america “in general” does not want a “black man” in the White House (thus the name is even indicative of who “should be” running it)
I just pray the Lord’s will be done in this election and we as Christians must not look to a political figure as our “savior”, but only Jesus. All things will work together for good to those that love Jesus and are called according to His purpose. It’s all in God’s hands!
By the way, does anyone know what is the history of how it was named the “White House”…(because it happens to be white in color…etc)? I’m very curious to know.
