“Half the candidates, including Senator Obama, were not on the ballot,” he said. “What we had to do as the rules committee was come up with something that was the best reflection that we could find of how the voters really intended to vote, and that’s what we did.” – James Roosevelt, co-chair of the rules committee.

I think the title of the thread is inaccurate. I don't think they want to count votes. They want to divine the intentions of the voters and let you know how the vote went.

When the roughnecks in the Kravtsovskoye oil fields work an inordinate amount of overtime and neglect to vote for Premier, the Duma knows they support Putin and so their votes are duly recorded.

OH Mikey, ..... Mikey, ..... Mikey, .....

Her judgment in this case should be admired more than her spirit.

She knows that if the Superdelegates ...... give Obama the Nomination, ...... the Democrats will flatassed LOSE in the General Election.

Not only the White House ......... but seats in Congress.

Now PC'isms and PC'ing is fine n' dandy ...... and makes a lot of people feel good all over more than any other place ......... but by the time the 1st of November gets here ....... many and/or most will have begun to take a long, hard look at the "reality" of the situation ....... and will react accordingly on that fateful Tuesday in November.

It's a curious prediction, Sam, and one I'd like to see come true. I'm not betting on it, though.

There was an article I read this morning from realclearpolitics that had as interviewees a flock of Clinton supporters saying they are going to vote for McCain as retribution for what they view is the Democratic party's marginalization of them.

I think those women are lying. They will run to Obama like lemmings. They are slaves to the pro-choice movement and therefore can be taken for granted and treated like the Democratic establishment is treating them.
