I don't think Jack Evans is a superdelegate.

Evans sounds like a coward and political scum to me. His district voted overwhelmingly for Obama, yet it took him til now, May, 3 months for Christ's sake to turn around. hope you guys vote this little coward out.

Evans was selected by the DC Democratic State Committee as a Clinton Delegate on May 1. I don't know if he is considered a pledged or unpledged delegate. But he is not a superdelegate

Frank sounds a douche and a blow hard to me. Hope you guys vote this little douche off the blog.

any delegate that votes for obama and holds public office should be voted out of office.

Does not matter if Evans is a SuperD or just a plain ole delegate -- it nets Obama 2 delegates. Cinton -1 Obama +1. Obama is closing in on the magic number!

sound like a smart man, thank goodness for men like Jack Evans

In case anyone is interested, Nevada had the final caucus session at its state convention today, with Obama picking up one additional delegate to the convention. The total is 14 for Obama, 11 for Clinton. The Obama people turned out in greater numbers today than Clinton supporters which resulted in the additional Obama delegate.

Evans is not a super delegate!!!!!!!!!

As of 5:46 pm Sat 5/17/2008 you still say on front page of website for Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/
:
"D.C. Wire: Superdelegate Evans Switches to Obama "
even though your story has as its last line:
"An earlier version incorrectly referred to Evans as a superdelegate."

It is time to rein Clinton in; she has already done so much damge to the Democrats; if she is unable to correct the stupid mistakes of giving McCain lies to use against Obama, she should be thrown out of the party.
The Clintons have more in common with the Bush and McCain crew anyway.

Do not forget: The citizens of DC overwhelmingly voted to set term limits for the city council. Jack Evans, thinking that he knows so much better that the voters, led the effort to have the City Council vote to nullify the voter referendum. Jack Evans is a sleazey self-serving scumbag.

I thought Evans was selected as a pledged Clinton delegate, not a superdelegate. Can you let us know what the story is? This is the key piece of information that would let the reader evaluate what the Council man did today. Thanks.

YES, this scum Evans is not a superdelegate, Obamas people are scums, those who betray Hillary and went to Obama gang, are sums, like; Richardson, Reich, Evans....... all those in future should avoid Hillary, for the rest of their skunky life!!!anyone who is staying and supporting Hillary, are true FRIENDS and dedicated supporters. She is learning , how ugly all those man-skunks are. Edwards didnt listen His Wife Elisabeth, She supports Hillary(???), We now know who trully Edwards is!!!This squicky clean , shiny show off man, lost my support forever. I dont trust His speaches anymore, I watch Him in debates, and more He was talking , then more I dislike HIM, just as Obama. Same all, same all!! They deserve each other!!! I feel sorry for Elisabeth:):):)

Patricia,Patricia, You lost Your mined in hate and blindnes. Blame on DNC and Haward Dean, they sell DNC to Obama. Wright, Farrakhan,Hamas,Middle East, and You will see , that I am right. You are just one hateful woman. Hillary will live this party when She feels like, and this will be the most happy day in HER LIFE, a lot of democrats will live DNC, and will vote for McCain, or not vote at all!!! I just did that yesterday, an also 21 supporters of Hillary also!!!By By By...Independenca Party will be bigger then DNC very soon, thanks tio You and Obamas gang!!!

"It's time for a change and the change is me," said the 17-year incumbent.

God, I love politicians.

Patricia,Patricia, You lost Your mined in hate and blindnes.

REALLY 2008nowinki? Look, I don't know you, and I definitely don't hate you.

I am an Obama supporter. I am not stupid. I am not deceived. I have read his positions on issues that I care most about, and I have simply come to a different conclusion than you.

You have a right to your vote. You have a right to your opinion. But, please, tone down the rhetoric. I assume you are trying to convince others that your position is right. In your rush toward invective, however, you may win the battle and lose the war.

Peace.

What's the difference? A delegate is a delegate is a delegate. A delegate by any other name is still a delegate. Obama needs only 119.5 more for the nomination.

White house is for white people and people of color has no place in it.

Vote Hillary

,Well said Lincoln. The vitriol against Obama and his supporters only strengthens his case for CHANGE. It sure doesn't help the case for Clinton or McCain.

Read the posts above.

The well written, grammatical, intelligent ones are all for Obama.

The posts full of errors, hatred, invective, and ignorance are all pro-Hillary.

Hmmmm-should we even allow these idiots the right to vote at all?

Now, now amused...you know only showoff "elitists" know how to spell and construct an intelligent sentence.

God, Hillary is scum. She's worse than Bush and Lieberman put together. It will be such joy to see Obama beat the hell out them all in the next few months.

If the Clintons are thrown out of the party, I will be THRILLED to support her as an independent candidate for President of the Unitied States of America!

It's too bad that folks forget all the good that the Clintons did and how they won the Oval Office from the Republicans in 1992 (after 12 years of Republican administration sin the White House. Then Bill turned around and got RE-ELECTED.

But of course the Obama folks could care less about any of that. They have no respect for anything that the Clintons did. All they care about is the here and now. No respect whatsoever for anybody who laid the groundwork before them - unless it was someone that the can use in some way to pave their own road.

It's really pathetic!

C'mon, Hillary, leave the Democratic party - and run as an independent PLEASE!!!!

The Obama camap wants you out of the Democratic party, so let's give them their wish - and then give them another run for their money in November!

I guarantee you'll have the supporters and the finances you need to run as a independent!

Please, Hillary, please do it!

All those hoping for Clinton to run as an independent are living in a dreamworld. Clinton will not leave the Democratic party for a run as an independent. Hillary will support Obama for the Presidency, and will, as she has recently, ask that voters support the Democratic party candidate, Barack Obama.

The question then will be if all those who claim they are Hillary supporters to the end will actually follow her by supporting Obama, as she will be doing.

After all, what kind of leader does it make her if even her most ardent supporters will not follow her lead?

These comments by Republicans pretending to be Clinton supporters are getting really boring. What I want to know is when is McSame going to follow George Bush's energy policy of holding hands with a Saudi dictator and touring palaces paid for by Americans?

Evidently,Frank and the other blow-hards can't read all the way to the end of the article. It's too hard!

I guarantee you'll have the supporters and the finances you need to run as a independent!

Please, Hillary, please do it!

You guarantee...what? Yeah, me too... the check is in the mail!

I AM NOT GOING TO SAY ANY THING NEG ABOUT HILLARY. MCCAIN, BUSH, MITT OR HUCKEBEE OH I FORGOT BILL THEY ARE ALL BIRD OF A FEATHER WHO STICK TOGETHER. VOTE THE WAY YOU PLEASE IT'S YOUR VOTE,MY VOTE IS FOR SEN OBAMA AND SO ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS. WE LOVE HIM AND HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTERS GOD BLESS THEM.

I think we need more information here. How can a pledged delegate switch his vote? Even if he decides to campaign for Obama, if Evans was indeed selected as a pledged delegate for Clinton, as others have posted, mustn't he still vote for Clinton at the convention (first round of voting)? If so, what does it mean that he is announcing support of Obama? And, the home page still states that Evans is a superdelegate.

Obama in 08!

"If we're frank about it, for so long people would get elected and you would never see them again," Fenty said. "One person who has bucked that trend now for 17 years is Jack Evans."

The only people who have seen Jack Evans for at least the last 12 years have been his millionaire cronies.

He is like those toxic mortgage derivatives that have been packaged three times over and are now blowing up the economy. And everyone in Ward 2 knows it.

He doesn't have deep enough pockets to buy the 80% of Ward 2 voters who want him gone.

Remember who beat 16-year Councilmember Charlene Jarvis in the 2000 Ward 4 council race?

IMHO Fenty is goofing on Evans.

What characterises many clintonites is name calling and insults. In the first posts the word scum, blow hard etc... come freaquently.

Obama supporters shouldn't stoop to this low level and adopt their unpolite manners.

Keep a cool head, and let them rant!

Under DNC rules, pledged delegates are not bound to vote for the candidate they are pledged for.

http://www.demconvention.com/delegate-voting/

Jack Evans is becoming to be quite a disgusting figure. No wonder why DC has taking so long to grow. You just need to look at these old farts that contribute nothing to REAL CHANGE. They just want to go with the flow of where they think they can get better exposure. I hope when Hilllary wins the nomination, she remembers the poor treatment Washington DC has given her and treats them the same way.

Yo 2008nowosci-
No matter how you try you're not gonna divide the Dems and bring about the overturning of Roe v Wade under McBush. Think about it, what does your little act of protesting net you? That is assuming you are a disenfranchised Hillary supporter. Me thinks you're probably a Karl Rover.

Christina and then what? So you can tell your granddaughters that Grandma was a brave feminist who helped over turn Roe v Wade. You're on the precipice of losing a lot more than you bargained for.

Yo "White house is for white people and people of color has no place in it.

Vote Hillary"

Come Nov 3rd you're gonna see once and for that the North beat the Confederates back in the ol Civie War. Not sure what your high school curriculum consisted of but looks like it's about to be disvalidated.

Bummer dude.

Who cares if Hillary's supporters don't support Obama? You've already said you don't need us to win, right?

If Hillary won't run as an independent, I'm going to write her in!

Hillary in 2008!

You heard it hear first, folks!

The headlines will be - "Hillary makes a HUGE dent in the general election by being a major 'write-in' candidate."

Follow my lead, Hillary supporters!

Let's write in "Hillary Clinton" on our ballots in November!

The Obama camp has already said we're all a bunch of idiots. And they have horrible things to say about Hillary.

So why should we help any of them?

Let's "write-in" Hillary Clinton in November!

Hillary 2008!

Christina,In Michigan, and I assume there are other states, a write -in is not counted unless the person being voted for by write-in files an affidavit within so many days prior to the election making known his decision to run. This was brought about to eliminate the need to tally votes for Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck.

Well, as far as I know, a "write-in" is valid in Virginia.

So that's what I'm doing - if Hillary doesn't run as an independent.

Otherwise, I'll be voting with the Green Party.

Don't underestimate the power of the Hillary supporters!

With regards to "Don't underestimate the power of the Hillary supporters!" htruman says yeah don't estimate power of misdirected vengence to get Roe v Wade overturned by McBush. What a legacy that'll leave for the feminist movement.

His district goes overwhelmingly Barack in February, suddenly he realises it in May. Talk about rats and sinking ships.

As for those who say they'll write in Hilary, vote Green or, even, McSame [shudder] I'll just point out that there is such a thing as cutting your nose to spite your face. I assure you folks, your'e still going to need that nose post-election morning. The idea that Barack's supporters dislike Hilary's is plain ludicrous; we love you all, and thats a fact.

IT IS AMAZING HOW CLINTON SUPPORTERS OR JUST PLAIN OLE OBAMA HATERS TRASH, OR HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT DELEGATES THAT SUPPORT OBAMA, ESPEACIALLY WHEN THEY SWITCH FROM HILLARY.

IF HILLARY COULD NOT MANAGE A SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIN IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHAT IN GOD'S CREATION MAKE YOU THINK SHE WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE? OH, MY BAD, YOU CAN'T THINK WITHOUT A BRAIN!

IF OBAMA IS SO INEXPERIENCED, SO NIEVE, HAS NO CHANCE IN HELL TO BECOME THE FIRST BLACK PRES, THEN WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID? WHY ARE THEY EVEN PAYING HIM ATTENTION? WHY ARE THE RUSH LMBAUGHS AND THE SEAN HANNITYS DEVOTING THEIR TALK SHOWS TO OBAMA'S FORMER PASTOR? I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT BRACED FOR A BLACK PRES READY TO MOVE TO EUROPE?

Trust me I know a large number of women who are really pissed off at the vicious sexism of this election cycle. they will either vote McCain or not vote. You can't kick someone in the teeth and then expect them to be nice after.I'm talking seething anger and rage at someone who talks unity but tolerates his online minions referring to women as "C--TS."

Obama will lose the women's vote, the Latino vote, the Jewish vote and the rural non-African American blue collar vote.

Nominate Obama, Elect McCain

I copied this from another person, but it's worth posting again and again.
My message to Clinton supporters who are still threatening to vote McCain
Here's a horrible, cruel joke about the Clintons:
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Hillary is her mother and Janet Reno is her father."
Now, who said that? A mean Obama supporter? No, it was John McCain who told that "joke", at a GOP fundraising dinner in June 1998.
Point that out to frustrated Hillary supporters who think Obama or his followers have been mean to the Clintons.

McCain is a guy who calls his wife a "c**t" and "trollop" in front of reporters.
A guy with a long track record of vindictively pursuing junior people - especially women - who get in his way, even if they were just secretaries following their bosses' orders.

Do you want John McCain to pick three or more Supreme Court Justices? Vote for McCain will set women rights back two generations.

Vote for our future. Vote for Obama!

OK...I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT. CLINTON'S STAYING IN THIS RACE AND FIGHTING SO HARD TO WIN IS LESS ABOUT THE COUNTRY AND MORE ABOUT HER OWN LEGACY. HILLARY'S ENTITLED EGO REFUSES TO LET HER GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE WHITE PERSON DEFEATED BY THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. I WILL ALSO SAY THIS, ALL THE TALK ABOUT WHITE BLUE COLLAR WORKING CLASS NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA, CALL IT WHAT IT IS. RACISM. FOR THIS ELECTION THOUGH WE CHOOSE TO CALL IT "BLUE CLOOAR WORKING CLASS". WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TAUGHT THAT RACISM IS IGNORANCE. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY OBAMA IS GETTING THE EDUCATED WHITE VOTE. THE PEOPLE IN WEST VIRGINA, RURAL OHIO, SMALL TOWN PENN ARE NOT A MODEL OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. OBAMA CAN WIN WITH A NEW COALITION. THE PUNDITS NEED TO STOP TALKING ABOUT STATES IN THE PAST NEEDED TO WIN. OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN LIKE NO OTHERS. IF HE LOOSES HE WON'T BE THE FIRST. BUT WILL STILL BE THE FIRST BLACK NOMINEE AND THAT IS STILL CHANGE!!!

Ha....Who was it that said if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen? It was the woman who should of stayed home and baked cookies. I used to hate the clintons, but now I love them. Obama used to scare me, but no more. My man McCain is on the train to the white house and we can finally get some conservative values back. The clintons have divided the party and shown BO is a very flawed candidate. All these women are staying home because the ol boys wouldn't let them in the clubhouse. I'm glad they're staying home. Please do. McCain will get 2 supreme court nominees and we can finally overturn letting women murder innocent children (roe v wade). Plus I dont have to worry about my taxes going up to pay for healthcare. You want healthcare?...get a job and pay for it. I see more woman and Hillary supporters saying they wont back Obama. Good, John McCain needs your vote. I just watched 2 woman on the O'Reily show last night say because of the dnc's sexist approach to this election, they are organizing thousands of women in FL, OH, MI, and PA to actively campaign against Obama. Talk about idiots cutting off their nose dispite their face. However, I welcome it. A party divided stands no chance in November. All the congressional gains the dnc is making wont matter because a republican will still be in the white house. God Bless America.

If Hillary supporters write-in Count Dracula, it wouldn't make me a difference one way or the other. These are people who will cut off their nose to spite their face. But, hey, it is THEIR face.

Politics is a dirty, dirty business made up of dirty, dirty people. None of them are squeaky clean.

Politicians represent the people that elect them. Look at what you people have written, is there a question that people call Hillary, mean, vile, dividing? You speak as if you expect your candidate to be cleaner than you. To live a life more saintly as yours.

Presidents have been flawed fellows, from slave owners to recovering alcoholic.

An honest president is an oxymoron of moral reality in America.
