Hillary Clinton Says The Magic Number Is 2025

by RockvilleLiberal2, Fri May 09, 2008 at 08:07:49 AM EST

So I don't often write diaries but I have seen so many people continuously say that the "new" magic number for delegates is 2209. That is completely wrong. The number is 2025. That is the number that the DNC has set, that is the number that all of the candidates are working under. And when I say all the Candidates, I mean ALL THE CANDIDATES.

Here is Hillary saying that 2,025 is the magic number. I understand that Hillary loves to change the rules to suit her needs, but come on folks, this comes straight from the horse's mouth.

Now I am truly sorry that people are upset that Hillary lost. But trying to change the rules midstream? That's just shameful.

Dude, if she changes her mind on which metric she wants as it suits her politically, what's wrong with that?

Serious question- Is This Snark?

hahaha this lady is shameless

I would say at this point we're starting to see a little desperation on the part of the woman who I support... NY Governor Paterson

the rules say the dnc makes the rules (none / 0)

that has always been the case. It would be illegal to change the rules in midstream. It would be taken to court and made void.

The rules state the creditiential committe will determine the delegates.

There is no democracy in the democratic party rules.

Hillary is on track to win in ken, wv, and puerto rico.

She is going to get the most votes in the dem primary,

the most votes by democrats in the democratic primary

and she will win superdelegates because it will be clear by August she is the best nominee.

We will not deal with it, it will not happen.

Without rules... (2.00 / 1)

there can be no democracy.

Without contested elections, there can be no democracy.

Without every real candidate on the ballot, there can be no democracy.

BTW, she is still losing, and will lose, the pop vote (and don't you dare try and include FL and MI, especially MI, without including caucus hard counts, even without she is still behind). But that doesn't matter because delegates choose the nominee. Even the delegates from PR that don't choose anything in the GE.

The DNC said from the beginning that Florida and Michigan delegates will not be seated until there is a nominee. When the nominee gets to the magic number of 2025, than the nominee can go to the DNC and ask that they be setated. Those are the rules, and were there from the first. Jerome, Todd, all the Clintonistas can cry and bang their heads, but it won't change what is.

no, the "real" magic number will end up being 2117. That's the 48 states plus halved delegations for FL and MI, sat either as is, or w/Obama gaining MI's 55 uncommitteds.

This way, the "rogue" states are punished (dnc happy), and hrc gets the delegations sat as they voted (pretty much).

Look for that to be it come the end of the month.

even still, barry only needs 157.5 delegates to go to reach it :)
