When I calculated it based on current polls, I have Clinton getting 301 electoral votes, which is a big victory. I had McCain winning with something like 285 over Obama.
The Reps didn't blow them off. They took away half of their delegates. That outcome would have been acceptable if the Dems had done that to begin with. Everyone would have still voted. The popular vote would have counted.
Why didn't they do it that way? Is the DNC really that inept?
What's more likely to happen - Clinton will increase her leads in swing states, or Obama will close the gaps in swing states?
So this is all about race after all?
So this is all about race after all?
Race is a factor in it. Screw over the candidate that shares the race of the most disenfranchised and screwed over group of individuals this country has ever seen, and no, they won't support the Democrats.
Actually, that would be women.
Sure there is, do a little research. Black men got the vote first. And white women, while not technically slaves, were pretty close to it for much of our history.
But voting on someone to make up for past harms is pretty stupid, anyway.
Obama.
You think Hillary voters feel cheated? If the DNC made an 11th hour change to take away the votes from a black candidate to give it to a white one, you can kiss the black vote goodbye. Those polls are Hillary as a hypothetical candidate, not Hillary as a candidate after the blood she would have to spill to become the Democratic nominee.
It's all about demographics.
Most of the black voters are in Southern states, states Obama can't win anyway. The only state likely to take a hit would be Florida, but I think even then Clinton would have the edge over McCain there.
Please get your weird interpretation of the Constitution out of your head, and read USSC court cases where this shit has already been decided.
The November election is NOT the same as a primary.
Sure there is, do a little research. Black men got the vote first. And white women, while not technically slaves, were pretty close to it for much of our history.

Clinton "open" to being Obama's running mate: party aide
Tue Jun 3, 2008 6:27pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday she's open to the possibility of being Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate, a Democratic party aide said.
Clinton, who appears on the verge of losing the Democratic presidential nomination to Obama, made the comment in a conference call with fellow members of New York's congressional delegation, the aide said.
The party aide quoted Clinton as saying, when asked about being Obama's running mate: "I am open to it."
