I read where the Unions controlled ~30% of the Superdelegate votes. The NEA has 10% of the Superdelegates so that leaves 20% for the other unions. Does anyone know how many the SEIU have?

What is new or refreshing about this? Seems like old-style interest group politics to me.

Will this help him as much as the Teddy Kennedy endorsement that you obamaites were crowing about?

Didn't he still faili to carry Mass by about 20 points?

Endorsements or worthless- the sooner people understand that the better. Now if they are super delegates, however....

Just because I have a difference of opinion about the Messiah, Obama, doesn't mean I am threadshitting.

In fact, saying that I am threadshitting because I am not an Obama cultist and because I buck the hornfans groupthink party line on this guy is in and of itself threadshitting.

Hillary is cleverly doing her best to avoid any endorsements. She knows they are worthless.

She also cleverly did not attempt to win any caucuses because they are not fair.

And of course, why compete in a bunch of small states after Super Tuesday when you can just wait for Texas and Ohio.

Now her whole election depends upon whether she can convince enough Latinos to come out and vote for her.

It's certainly far from over, but at least for now, I like my candidate's strategy more than the strategy of the greatest political team in history.

Imagine that a junior Senator named Barack Hussein Obama actually has a chance to beat the inevitable candidate. Who would have thunk it

There is a huge difference between the endorsement of a fellow politician, which is nearly worthless, and the endorsement of a big union. The union halps get out the vote, most union memebers follow it and it helps with fundraising from that group. This is a big help for Obama in Texas.
