Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The Republicans' best hope in 2008 might just be the maddening debate raging within the Democratic Party over the rules governing super delegates and the seating of delegates from Florida and Michigan. Who's playing by the rules, who's trying to change them mid-game, and how might the Democrats find a way to screw up 2008? We explore in today's Sunday Show Roundup episode of TPMtv.

  • Vote for greed and corruption! Vote for pre-emptive war! Vote for ignoring the budget deficit and continuing to implement tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy! Vote for lies and deception! Vote for privatizing education and health care so only the rich can afford it! Vote to destroy America! Vote Republican!!!!

  • i'll tell you why, the party with the weaker second candidate would always win.

  • It's time we stand up for the truth....Barack holds the key! Let's fight for the truth....nothing more, nothing less then the truth.

    America, let's fight for the truth!

  • Do we really even need just 1 Democratic nominee and 1 Republican? Why not make it at least the top 2 from each side? That's 4 choices, which makes it a little easier to pick a president, although it's still far from perfect. Or how about 3 from each side, to be bold? 1 is too damn few. Why should 7 candidates be able to run only to have 1 pathetic candidate out of them all being able to run his party to "victory", if at all?

  • Why is there so much red tape surrounding fucking nominations nowadays?? Can't the people just decide and get it over with like that? If we vote more for one guy than the other, HE DESERVES THE NOMINATION!! If this is to be a winner-take-all system, that's how it should go. If not, then come up with a proportional system but still don't waste time with this delegate bullshit, having us vote through some middleman, an intermediary.

  • I'm for Edwards, jackass.

  • Hillary should drop out of the primary election and leave earth.

  • It's not too late to become a Republican.

    No shell game over there.

  • Good insightful video. I personally don't accept the rules of super-delegates deciding the nomination at the end. Their credentials should not have favor over my own vote. We change the playing field by deciding on popular vote...
