SUPER Delegate Governor John Elias Baldacci

I'm sure Governor Baldacci is a nice man at some level. He's pretty good with the grip and grin, I think. He is terrified and bullied into not raising taxes. He'd rather dismantle the state than face Carol Palesky again. No Profile in Courage he. Moving aside from the fact that 62% of the people who voted for Governor in the last election voted AGAINST him,let's discuss his role as a Super Delegate.

Maine has 25 delegates which are now pledged 15 for Barak Obama and 9 for Hillary Clinton based on this weekend's faux Democratic Caucus. However, there are 10 SUPER Delegates who are part of the Maine Democratic Machine who are firmly in Clinton's camp for the same back room politicing that Democrats get so spastic about and accuse the Republicans of. One Super Delegate carries the voting power of 40,000 regular voters. The headlines that say Obama won Maine? Just to pacify the torch carrying mobs until they get surprised at the convention by which time it will be too late to do anything about it.

So to give you an example of why you don't want John Baldacci operating on your brain, designing your rockets, or casting your Super Delegate vote, I present his expressed reason for supporting Hillary Clinton: "It's time for a woman in the White House." That's ok for your 4th grade Civics Class Governor Baldacci, but when speaking to the Maine Democratic Party I can only extrapolate that as you saying "It's not yet time for a black man in the White House."

You'd have been better served by someone suggesting that maybe you stick to policy rather than body parts and skin color or have some shame and say nothing at all.

The woman in the last post, with the Hillary buttons is named Judy Williams. While we were waiting, we were making small talk and both mentioned how it was our first caucus and then each confessed that we wished we didn't HAVE to participate, but that we can't trust anyone to do the right thing without being watched. At the time we chuckled about it because we thought it was a joke.

Why SOME of the retractions about Governor Baldacci and his role of a super delegate? I under stand WHY they have super delegates a little bit better now (see previous post) and, the good Governor actually said in a radio interview that he'd prefer a Primary System. (I also realize I probably shouldn't blog when I'm angry.) :)
