Tubbs even went to Indiana to campaign for Clinton. Clinton always seems to need somebody to do her campaigning for her (Bill, Chelsea, Rendell, Bayh, etc, etc) because she's such a losy campaigner herself.

Also Maxine Waters and Sheala Jackson Lee to name just a couple of others. The Clintonistas want Clinton supporting superdelegates to be able to "flout the will of the electorate" but not allow Obama supporting superdelegates to be able to. Shows how much of a double standard they have.

Unless you don't have one, which the poll above seems to indicate.

To my eyes, it seems to me like it's the Clinton supporters who have two standards. One for Hillary (her superdelegates can overturn the will of the electorate. Isn't that what Hillary has been saying thoughout the primary?), and one for Obama (his superdelegates can not overturn the will of the electorate. They have to follow how the voters vote). I was just trying to point out above, the Obama side can not be expected to do it if the Clinton side doesn't. In the end, the rules say neither side has to, so I guess that's the way it will work.

That the super-Ds represent their constituencies, or that they don't?

Well I guess "in a perfect world", it would be better to go with the voters, but that's not the way the superdelegate system was setup (decades ago I might add). Actually, in an even more perfect world, there would be no Superdelegates. But right now, they can do whatever they want and there's nothing the voters can do about it. The rules would have to be changed if enough Democrats don't like it.

The diarist doesn't really believe what s/he argues. A hallmark of the Clinton campaign.

Terry McAuliffe as well -- both should have voted the way that the Potomac primaries broke -- given that they are currently DC residents.

Senator from MD, Clinton SD - a state that went overwhelmingly for Obama.
There are umpteen examples from both camps of leaders that did not go with the "will of the electorate". In fact, it is Clinton who wanted the SDs to act independent of the electorate because the-will-of-the-people (pledged delegates) wouldn't hand her the nomination.

I don't know why they supported Clinton. Very disappointing for me, as a Marylander.

I think Brown just wanted to support his boss. I wish his boss had thought differently.

that would require judgement, reason, and intelligence.

He seems interested mostly in elevating his status as a hopeless pillock.
Well done, FischFry!

It was almost guaranteed to get a 100% result. I'm actually surprised that over 10% actually think Rahall is wrong to vote for Obama. I think that number is even higher than the percentage of Clinton supporters on this site, so it actually reflects some degree of principle. I"m elated.
