I didn't casually dismiss all your concerns, I adressed them one by one. If we are going to make every mis-statement by a candidate to be fact, then McCain has some real doozies. But I'd rather be concerned with facts about the candidates, not flubs.
If Obama was still in Rev. Wright's church, yes, I'd be concerned.
If Michelle Obama hadn't apologized and reworded her statement, yes, I'd be concerned.
If Obama and Ayers were still working together on the same committee and Ayers was still involved in subversive activities, yes, I'd be concerned.
If Obama's mother were still alive and was spouting Anti-American drivel, yes, I'd be concerned.
But these are all "ifs". None of them are actuals. I am concerned about actuals.
And Sangetsu, you may not understand the role of superdelegates. The responsibility of the superdelegates is not to vote with their constiuency (most of them don't have a constituency) but to vote for the candidate they beleive can beat the Republicans in November. That's all. Does politics play a role in politics? Of course, but don't make it sound like Bill Richarson broke the rules or his responsibilities in choosing Obama.
Nothing we are going to say is going to change each other's minds. But I always do enjoy a lively debate.
