We did not elect her to be a delegate at the Democratic Party Convention - that is a position she is grant by virtue of her position within the Democratic Party. The delegates selected by party members in the primary in the territory should feel obligated to vote according to the wishes of the party members who selected them to go to the convention. Superdelegates were created by the party specifically for this type of election. They are sent to the convention to represent the Party, not their friends, relatives, or constituents back home. It is their job to nominate the candidate they feel will be in the best interest of the Party, regardless of popular consent, when the race is too close to call by regular delegates. While I may not agree with her choice, I respect her integrity for sticking with the candidate she feels is best.

I wonder how many who are trying to force the Deligate's hand even bothered to come out for that historical event?

Loyalty has it's place, some thing that is sorely lacking in the Virgin Islands. Too many politicians flip flop just because it equals votes. Like it or not, I support the Deligates rights to vote her conscience. To do otherwise is a sure sign of weak leadership.

Emotion, ability and even a little bit of mysticism. But nothing is more important in politics than MATH! And Barack has the got the numbers baby! The holy trinity for a political campaign is: Money, Momentum, and Math. He's got a HUGE war chest of cash available, and the ability to raise more if needed. He's got hourly media coverage on every major national and international news feed. But most importantly, he's got the numbers baby! Do the math. Barack gets more votes per state than both McCain and Huckabee combined. He's already registered 19 million new voters to the democratic party. The party nomination and presidential election is Barack's to lose. On November 5th, I plan to purchase two round trip tickets to Washington D.C. to be present and to witness the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama. Peace-Out!
