“More Harm Than Good”
The Swamp:
by Mark Silva
A growing number of Democrats believe that the continuing contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is “doing more harm than good” for the Democratic Party.
Six in ten - 62 percent - of the Democrats surveyed by the Gallup Poll over the last weekend said so. That’s up from 56 percent in late March.
This is particularly true among Democrats who support Obama, Gallup’s Frank Newport reports - “this is no doubt because Obama is the current leader in both the popular vote… and the overall delegate count. Continuing to campaign has very little upside potential for Obama and a lot of downside potential — as may be occurring now, with Obama having to deal with continuing controversies surrounding his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Fewer Clinton supports believe so.
“Given that Clinton’s only realistic chance of winning the nomination is to continue to campaign and hope events will help convince superdelegates to switch and vote for her, this pattern is not surprising,” notes Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll.
Full Poll: “Is Ongoing Democratic Campaign Good or Bad for the Party?’

There’s a joke somewhere in this photo. Possibly another caption contest?
Barack Obama says,”Hillary is just the other white meat of the Republican party.”
Egh? Eh?

To my cynical self, the whole concept of winning the favors of a “Super”delegate to win the election sounds like a rig. I’m 42 and I’ve never heard of a superdelegate ever. Did I miss something.
