- LMControl, on 02/22/2008, -12/+169So..... I'm guessing Chelsea didn't put out, eh?
- iplayyouandme, on 02/22/2008, -22/+91He wasn't going to go against his own state. What a true politician, just thinking about his own future. Fortunately for him his state made the right choice for him.
Welcome to the revolution! - coollettuce, on 02/22/2008, -2/+58He's gay.
http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid5225 ... - cibomatto, on 02/22/2008, -10/+61Thats great news... a super delegate who based his choice on the will of the people. Nice Try Chelsea!!
- 4LeggedtriPod, on 02/22/2008, -2/+42Saw this kid on MSNBC. He never gives a straight answer, he completely avoids the question and always answers with what's PC and best to hear. He comes off as really pretentious. He'll make a great liar in Washington one day.
- martoq, on 02/22/2008, -5/+36You stay classy Wisconsin!
- TheElusiveTool, on 02/22/2008, -0/+29Isn't it good that as a superdelegate he went with his state? The whole problem is that superdelegates have no restriction on where they put their vote, so I think it is good that he is being democratic about it and letting the popular vote have an influence on his vote.
- ExplosivesWTC, on 02/22/2008, -13/+41Video of the young superdelegate in action just released.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - ADVIZR, on 02/22/2008, -7/+33Yay, Wisconsin!
- jopjop, on 02/22/2008, -2/+26He had a lot of homework to do.
- u2wedge, on 02/22/2008, -13/+32Was hoping he would.
- bitspace, on 02/22/2008, -1/+18I think you miss the point. The contention with Clinton possibly winning with superdelegates is that if we get to the convention and Obama has the greater number of pledged delegates, it would be a giant "***** you" to the voters if Clinton won the nomination on superdelegates at that point. The voters will have chosen one candidate, but the other will have won the nomination by the party superdelegate system.
Having said that, I am generally opposed to the superdelegate system as a whole. I understand why it exists - so the party can override any "populist" movement that they feel would be detrimental to the party - but I disagree with that reasoning. - actorboy, on 02/22/2008, -3/+19But thank God that he didn't do so use three exclamation points in doing so as the submitter would have us believe.
- Ihatenicks, on 02/22/2008, -3/+19WTF????
Do you actually know what socialist means? - ByteGuerilla, on 02/22/2008, -0/+16The point of having superdelegates NEEDS defeating.
- NyteStarNyne, on 02/22/2008, -7/+22He's got a cruuuushhh on Obama....
- dksupremacy, on 02/22/2008, -1/+12I never knew Jared the subway guy was a Superdelegate
- jimbruno, on 02/22/2008, -14/+25Am I the only one a bit disturbed that there are, "Superdelegates" who look like college freshmen in their daddy's suits? This is what we really entrust our nation to?
- xGeneric, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11So what are you saying you want? For the people who get voted into office to ignore the will of the people who put them there. Want them to go rogue, give you the finger, and start doing whatever it is they feel like? Don't we elect our officials to represent us? I'm having a hard time finding what's wrong with an elected official going with what the people want.
If this was the other way around, where if Obama won the state, and the Superdelegate decided to endorsed Hillary, would you be saying "This is the problem with politicians, not following the will of the people."? If not, what would you say? - lionel1024, on 02/22/2008, -0/+11uh, what? None of that made any sense at all. Vote for Hillary ONLY because she's a woman? Like gender makes her a better choice?
- cleverboy, on 02/22/2008, -0/+10Obama holds more to feminist ideals than Hillary. Believe it or not. Sorry.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -8/+18Yes we should entrust our nation to younger delegates. The "old and stuffy" politicians are exactly what many people what a change from! It baffels me that many of the people in the country ages 18-35 DO NOT have an issue with gay marriage, for example. But the 70+yr old politicians DO have a problem with it because of how they were raised and the time period they grew up with. How can this country ever evolve and change with the times if we allow people in office that want to keep us in "the dark ages" or hold true to values from the 1930 - 1950s? Think of the USA in those times... No voting for women or blacks, segregation, people having to hide their true self from the public (gay/lesbians). Our older politicians grew up in those times. Do you really think they would let go of those values they were taught just because they represent the people of the USA? Of course not!
- isaactwito, on 02/22/2008, -1/+10Why the ***** do we need superdelegates? It's just another step between what people actually want and the government. Why is it so hard for the government to not constantly ***** us over. Seriously, no one trusts the government anymore, everything coming out of Bush's mouth is taken as complete crap, congress is a joke. America is ***** dead.
- poordavey, on 02/22/2008, -4/+13He's 21 years old. Hes a big boy now, and a bright bulb at that. Calm down.
- rhartman, on 02/22/2008, -3/+12Best crawl back under that rock if you are sick of hearing about Obama.
- showat, on 02/22/2008, -0/+9So wait... It's ok to send 18 year olds out to fight and DIE in wars defending the OLD FARTS that are running our nation into the ground. But by God... you let one into politics before he's had a chance to be corrupted and bought out by corporate america and... you get people saying "wow, he's too young".
It's his future too and as an american, he has a right to help shape it.
Ageism sucks. - aliengoods, on 02/22/2008, -2/+11Don't worry. You only have to hear about him until November....and then 4 years after that.
- kamel, on 02/22/2008, -0/+8Hillary pimped the wrong person.
- illycoffee, on 02/22/2008, -2/+10Finally, the Digg generation has fallen into the trap of mainstream thought.
- jopjop, on 02/22/2008, -1/+9Exactly.
- Tearlock, on 02/22/2008, -0/+8Once you go Barack, you never go back!
- poordavey, on 02/22/2008, -3/+11You guys are lame.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -0/+8Welcome to our imperfect democracy.
- aliengoods, on 02/22/2008, -2/+10Everyone's backed by globalists, with the exception of the fringe politicians (Ron Paul) who don't have a shot.
- dannydyer1000, on 02/22/2008, -2/+9oh hai guyz ron paul btw
- LMControl, on 02/22/2008, -5/+12Ha...haa....haaaa...haaaaaahaaaahhaaaaa....***** CLASSIC! I guess Hillary should've seen Bill instead..... ;-)
- Kythas, on 02/22/2008, -1/+8"If you aren't liberal when you're young, you have no heart. If you aren't conservative when you're old, you have no job" - Winston Churchill
- Michael9636, on 08/04/2008, -3/+10I expected he would. I met him briefly a few years ago. He's very engaging. He will probably be a successful politician in the near future.
- Beveridge89, on 02/22/2008, -1/+8No he isn't. Mark Brzezinski, his son, is.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -1/+8Go back to the kitchen, bitch.
- dannydyer1000, on 02/22/2008, -2/+9hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
- moofer, on 02/22/2008, -1/+8Yet you keep clicking on links to stories about him... Hmmm... Retard much?
- thorgrim, on 02/22/2008, -0/+7I don't know if it has occurred to you, but there is a large voting pool that match that very description. They need representation as well, as much as that may frighten some folks.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -2/+8lajaw is thirteen years old.
- chrissku, on 02/22/2008, -4/+10Speaking of xerox we can beleive in......Go get your resume and make lots of copies Hillary.
- ImpulseControl, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6Oh, I see. So your saying I should vote for Hilary because she has a vagina. Thanks for the enlightenment.
- lamprey187, on 02/22/2008, -0/+5Hillary was spotted unfairly a +100 superdelegate lead before the elections even began. You really should blame the DNC for the use of super-delegates and not either candidate. Giving 20% of the decision making over to the super-delegates is not a good policy of the party. They adopted this policy in 1972, and it takes voting power away from the people. A more fair comment would be that super-delegates are an unfair practice because they were created to "save Democrats from themselves". If and when Obama wins, it will be a reflection of the popular vote and pledged delegates. I will agree with you on the fact that super-delegates should not even exist. I don't blame either candidate though.
- sephers83, on 02/22/2008, -2/+7Okay, and as per usual, whatever conservative candidate gets nominated, which will be McCain, will be backed by white supremacists, and and the crazy evangelical right. Does that mean that those are the views of McCain and that's how he's going to run the country if he gets elected? And yes, I understand that these people aren't going to be McCains Advisors if he gets elected. Also, Beveridge89 is right. It's his son Mark Brzenzinski that is Obama's foreign pollicy advisor. To say that a father and son are the same person and have the same ideas on foreign policy is very assuming. Put up information about the actual advisor next time, not his father. And as to saying "Of course I get dugg down for simply stating facts," you obviously didn't state the facts. You are using half quotes of the man that you are calling a marxist, and out of context as well. This is the same kind of misleading writing that the the polling companies use to lead your mind to the decision that they want you to make. And Seeing as there are only truly 3 possible candidates for the President of the United States, and millions are backing any one of these three, then we're all sheep. Don't make stupid claims and try to belittle peoples decision to back a candidate when you aren't going to belittle them with actual facts and quotes that aren't used in context.
- bitspace, on 02/22/2008, -1/+6Cite your sources. He campaigned hard against two older more experienced politicians to become a DNC member in 2004 when he was only 17. It seems very likely that somebody as politically active as he is will have voted before, even if not for the last presidential election, certainly for midterm elections or the Wisconsin gubernatorial race in 2006.
