JohnDoe,

You are incorrect in your assumption. Lieberman’s defection to Independent did not strip him of his Super-delegate status because Lieberman choose to continue caucusing with the Democrats. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has maintained his Democratic Super-delegate status through several elections and to this day. This is a common misconception.

Due to the Zell Miller speech at the Republican Convention in 2004, the DNC created a rule that endorsement of an individual candidate of another party in a race where there was a viable Democratic candidate was also in that specific race would lead to the endorser being stripped of their Super-delegate right to vote. Actually Jomentum can still show up, be admitted to the convention and attempt to persuade folks that his choice is the best choice for the party . . . He just cannot vote for a Democratic nominee.

Clinton has chosen to criticize Obama from the Republican memes of ‘Experience’ and Commander-in-Chief-Dom’. Sadly, Clinton’s two statements regarding McCain’s fitness for the Office of President over Obama actually can be applied to her campaign also. McCain has infested politics longer than Clinton has and actually served as an officer in the military. Additionally, McCain’s campaign has been out the media limelight largely to his lack of media buys (It is sad when the fascist plutocrats ignore their own due to poverty) directly because of his lack of cash. Clinton is providing the opposition with media time . . . for free. If the above is not an endorsement, I cannot think what is.

There is little reason to reward Clinton’s behavior with the ability to cast a vote for the 2008 Presidential Nominee and Howard Dean needs to do his duty and obligation to the Party and strip Clinton of her vote.

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please, let me know.
