@Gene,
I’m well aware of Rev. Wright’s statement, and I applaud his direct honesty for “tellin’ it like it is”, that is to say, he recognizes that politicians will say whatever they think it will take to win. He got himself, his Church, and 20 years of close association with the Obama family thrown under the bus because it was politically expedient to do so. That he feels no resentment for this speaks to his character, (however you might feel about that)…
The question I was asking, prolly badly, is that Super Tuesday, in general, refers to the Tuesday in February or March of a presidential election year when the greatest number of states hold primary elections to select delegates to national conventions at which each party’s presidential candidates are officially nominated. More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar, and, accordingly, candidates seeking the presidency must do well on this day to secure their party’s nomination. In 2008, Super Tuesday was February 5. On this date 24 states held primaries or caucuses, with 52% of all pledged Democratic Party delegates at stake. Obama did well on Super Tuesday. His true character had not yet been revealed.
My time line may be off a bit, but if I recall correctly, Fox News broke the Rev. Wright story in March, Obama had already won a significant number of delegates before the Wright sermons, the Bill Ayres association, and much of the facts about the Rezko connection came to light. Billary was playing catch up after Super Tuesday and never even got close.
My question goes to the heart of why so many of the Democratic talking heads on TV are so full of bluster and bravado about party unity and “hope and change”, and in their sinking hearts I think they recognize the fact is they have saddled the losing horse in this race.
