Somehow, I don't see it happening:

Quote:

NORML reports that Barack Obama, who was for marijuana decriminalization in 2004, against it last fall, and for it last week (when his campaign said he'd "always" been for it), is against it again:

A spokesman for Obama's campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama does not support decriminalization, "we are sending far too many first-time, nonviolent drug users to prison for very long periods of time, and that we should rethink those laws."

It's true that decriminalization means different things to different people, but to equate it with opposition to mandatory minimum sentences distorts the concept beyond recognition. It's one thing to say decriminalization should be limited to simple possession of small quantities, or to say that it amounts to eliminating the possibility of arrest and jail, as opposed to repealing all penalties (i.e., the sort of "decriminalization" that has been adopted by 11 states). It's another to say that supporting decriminalization means thinking a crack dealer should serve one year instead of five. That certainly would be an improvement, and Obama should get credit for his willingness to go that far. But it defies belief to claim this was the sort of "decriminalization" he had in mind when he was running for the Senate and told students at Northwestern University "I think we need to...decriminalize our marijuana laws."

During the same appearance at Northwestern, Obama called the war on drugs "an utter failure" and said we need to "rethink" it, a position that makes him look decidedly better on this issue than Hillary Clinton. Assuming he still holds it.

sigh...

Charles Manson will escape from prison. He will murder several minor movie stars and others in a Hollywood mansion. The race war will begin. In 3 years, we'll all be dead.

obama is ahead in delegates. hillary is unlikely to catch up. however, they will most likely lack the pledged delegates to win without superdelegate help.

the superdelegates are like-- you know what they are, right? they are like "party wisemen" who can vote for whoever they want.

no idea what this delegate and superman delegates and party wisemen shit is

That is very unlikely to happen. Sorry to Burst your bubble. Richardson, is not well known, and he is a minority. I don't think this country is prepared to do two, minorities.

the delegates represent a portion of the electorate.

so when people vote in the primary, they are not electing a candidate directly. they are picking a delegate pledged to that candidate. the delegates then vote at the convention. in recent times the results have been decided in advance, but in previous times there was a lot of horse trading between the different delegates. fun stuff!

the superdelegates are these higher ups in the party (governors, congress people, etc) who vote directly at the convention. so their vote is worth the vote of thousands of people. while some argue they should go with the popular vote, the superdelegates can throw their support for whoever they prefer, for whatever reason they think.

there are 796 or so superdelegates out of the 4000 or so total delegates at the democratic convention--so about 20%

the republicans have different rules, and no superdelegates

oh you can read about superdelegates here
