Obama's PIAP Smear

Dr. Jack, Atlas's favorite pundit, enlightens us with the fireworks we can expect at the Democrat Convention. The birth certificate, the corruption eruptions, Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, denigrating America ... all of it Oblunder's chickens coming home to roost.

Excerpt from his half full report:

The Democrat presidential nominating convention is August 25-28.  The number of delegate votes needed to win the nomination is 2118. According to the tabulations of  Real Clear Politics, Egobama has 1766.5 elected or "pledged" delegates, while the PIAPS has 1639.5 (half-delegates because the Florida and Michigan delegations' votes were cut in half).

These are delegates the candidates won in the primaries and for whom they are legally bound to vote in the first ballot.  Should no candidate win a majority of votes on the first ballot, these pledged delegates can vote for whomever they want.

What gives Egobama a winning majority of convention delegates is 463 "Superdelegates" who have promised to vote for him (as opposed to 257 for Clinton).  These folks are Democrat Congressmen, Senators, "Distinguished Party Leaders," and other convention invitees. 

Unlike pledged delegates, superdelegates can switch their promise to vote at any time, right up to the convention's first ballot.  Which means if 112 of Egobama's 463 decide to vote for Clinton instead, she wins.

There's more.  Note an interesting discrepancy in the RCP superdelegate tally.  A total of 823 will be voting at the convention, yet 463 (O's) and 257 (C's) add up to only 720.

Which means 103 superdelegates have yet to commit to either candidate.  All of them must be getting phone calls from both candidates on the hour.  But you can bet the Clintonistas are going after them hard-ball, enticing them with every carrot and threatening with every stick found in FBI files.  Every one of the 103 they get after 51.5 (some have half-votes) is one less of the 112 they have to peel off from O's 463 to win.

We all know how Egobama is tanking in the polls.  It's the timing that's so beautiful - just before the Olympics, when everyone stops paying any attention to politics to watch sports instead.  This, plus Egobama going off to vacation in Hawaii, locks in the poll momentum of McCain going up and O going down.
[...]
Then the day after the Olympics end on August 24, the Dem convention begins in Denver.  It is going to be chaos, outside with protestors of every moonbat stripe, inside with delegates at each other's throats, and everything egged on by fanatically angry pro-Clinton women calling themselves Pumas (PUMA stands for Party Unity My Ass).

No way this convention won't end ugly.  O will come out of it seriously if not mortally weakened if he gets it, with millions of Puma-type women voting for McCain.  If H "steals" it, millions of blacks will want to burn Denver to the ground and certainly won't vote for her.

Fasten you seat belts because if the big H steals it from the big O ...... the disenfranchised are going to go ballistic and McCain is going to have a real fight on his hands.

So Obama is in Hawaii. Don't be suprised if he comes back with a third version of his COLB.

"PUMAS".... lol!!!

the dem convention may be the best thing for mccain.

but, mccain needs some coaching, he's gonna need to sound really inspiring at the repub. convention too....then again, hopefully america will be more ready to simply hear his words and hear the sense in them.

But before the convention both McCain and Obama will speak at Rick Warren's megachurch, either can screw up there.

Democrats, the party of ?????.
They have two states that no votes count.
They then have two states that each vote only counts half.
They have "Superdelegates" where the 'selected' have power over the masses.

Does that sound like a political party in the U.S. or China or maybe some new power structure never seen before? Either way the People who vote for democrats should realize their votes don't count for squat.

The Elitest of the democrat party skipped Socialism/Communism and went Head long into outdoing Chavez/Castro.

PIAP Smear? I am so happy I am not an OB/GYN

[neverforget]

Scrapiron, that is what the Democrats would like to turn the presidential general election in to.

I wish this were the case and it sounds great. But for whatever reason, I just doubt it will happen that way. Whether it will be manipulated by the media coverage, or George Soro's deep pockets, I just don't think the convention is going to be the blood bath it's shaping up to be.

Regardless, I can't imagine that there are enough people stupid enough to pull lever for Obama this November.

When a game is suspended, it will be played again later. A student suspended from school is not expelled, they can come back when the suspension is over. Suspend does not mean ended.
She said "I _suspend_ my campaign."
She didn't say "It's all over", "Put a fork in me" "I am finished" or anything terminal.
They still think he is a lightweight, that he ultimately can't win,that he is going to flub under pressure (<- they are probably correct!), that they got more votes, that the superdelegates _owe_ them. They are _entitled_! And,they are desperate.
Stay tuned.
PS With all the paid pundits at every news outlet, why didn't one of them emphasize that she said 'suspend'? After "That depends on what your definition of 'is' is..." you'd think someone would have heard such an obvious and calculated vocabulary.
