An Impatient Dr. Dean Demands Delegate Decisions

Presients come and go, But When The Presidents in office the presidents words are the last comman which he tells a person or people. the bottom line He is President of the United States of America. And He should never be Question no matter what. Cause when they start to do this they start to lose respect of all things surrounding them. We voted For the President And got the President into office, So why beging to Question him now. I understand not everone voted the same but still the outcome spoke for itself. So if you love your country then respect the out come of the vote, cause the people have spoken. IV.

Why Pennsylvania and other states holding their primaries should vote for Hillary Clinton?

I have a belief and conviction that the voters of Pennsylvania and other states which will hold their primaries will make a historic decision by voting for Hillary Clinton. Why?
1. Hillary Clinton has a proven track record of experience and the ability to take quick and decisive action on the complex problems that the United States is facing at home and abroad.
2. Hillary Clinton has been tested for standing against the Republican attacking machine and she will be in a better position to defeat Senator McCain next November.
3. She is an agent of real change and ready to deliver results that will positively impact the American people.
4. She has a number of legislative programs to bring about needed changes that would benefit the American people and reshape the American Foreign Policy
5. Hillary Clinton is a fighter and solution provider
6. Hillary Clinton is determined to follow an “open door” policy in her administration: she is determined to make her administration all inclusive and ready to receive constructive criticism from citizens irrespective of their political leanings.
7. From day one, Hillary Clinton will inspire confidence in the ability of the American people to withstand any crisis that may arise during her term of office.
8. She is a leader who knows how to organize people and marshal resources to bring about a desired change. According to Japanese proverb, “Vision without action is a nightmare” and “Vision without action is a daydream.” Obama’s promise of ‘hope’ and his slogan, ‘yes we can’ will not deliver what we want. It is easy to inspire voters by providing them good speeches but it is difficult to deliver results after this election is over. “Change we can believe in” may also take us to uncharted waters when a leader lacks the needed experience in handling complex national problems. When a driver lacks experience in driving, likely occurrence of collision can be way up. This is equally applicable to a president.
9. Senator Obama thinks that making good speech can motivate people to vote for him but can he change this unlimited hope to reality? What is his plan and how is he going to fund the ‘hope?” Beyond the rhetorical speech, a leader must have realistic goals and the means to achieve them. Gerald Ford, former US President once said, “Personal excellence can be achieved by a visionary goal, through planning, dedicated education and total follow-through.” Hillary has realistic goals that are balanced with available resources and achievable. She is ready to fight for us and stand for American interest here at home and abroad.
10. When Obama deliver his speeches, he appears to know the answers to all the problems we have in this country. It is imperative to note that nobody is perfect in all fields of activities. Voters do not expect any candidate to be considered as a “superhuman.” On the other hand, Hillary Clinton has never claimed that she has answers to all the problems real and imagined. She has often expressed views that the problems we face now and in the future are complex and it is difficult to provide ready made solutions now without further scrutiny and critical analysis. However, she is ready to provide solutions that are realistic and positively impact the American people. During the ongoing primaries both candidates may have misspoken about certain events but apologized for it. We don’t expect perfection but expect high level of character and reasonableness. A writer once, said “It is a sign of strength, not of weakness, to admit that you don’t know all the answers.” No candidate has 100% solution for all the problems but Hillary Clinton is the most likely president that would bring real change to current domestic problems and restore American moral leadership abroad and has the ability to set priorities for providing solutions.
11. During the ongoing primaries, events have revealed that there are divisions among the democratic officials, super delegates and party members. This division will affect the unity of the party.
12. Voters should not pay any attention to the unpredictable poll surveys based on incomplete information and often designed to force Hillary Clinton to quit the race. Obama’s success in having more delegates, especially in Caucasus has been largely influenced by MoveOn.Org support and mobilization of the young for passion rather than any political expediency
13. Obama’s passionate attack on the Washington Politics is not real because he has been and still is working with those people who play politics.
14. The pressure being put on super delegates to take decision now rather then later is designed to force Hillary Clinton to quit the campaign and cover up the disenfranchisement of Florida and Michigan voters. On 04-19.08, the DNC Chairman has said that the more than 300 super delegates should now come forth and declare their support for the candidate of their choice. This is a deplorable political expediency that would gravely wound the Democratic Party for years to come. This act of political blunder will not open the venue to the White House for the nominee of the Democratic Party next November, not even in 2012. Because of the unfairness of the Democratic Party officials and some super delegates against Hillary Clinton, members of the Democratic Party will remain divided and it would be difficult to achieve unity within a short period of time. Of course, the Republican Party will definitely benefit from this political blunder.

14. To uphold the unity of the Democratic Party and to win the presidency, let’s stand
and vote for Hillary Clinton. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, seniors and the young, let’s stand for Hillary Clinton in Unisom. Your reasoned decision will make history by electing the first woman president in America.
15. Hillary Clinton will bring back our military from Iraq responsibly; maintain a robust military force that will ensure our national security.
16. Hillary Clinton will turn around the economy to provide a new direction and introduce a measure that will alleviate the suffering of homeowners.

Let’s hire Hillary and give her the power to enable her fight for us!

WELL SAID TERI B...It's about time someone told it how it really is! Dean cannot dictate this election!

Obama, "your chickens are coming home to roost" BTW Barak, I listened to your PA speach...not one person cheered in your pregnant pauses, because they KNOW you are a LIAR!

GO HILLARY

Every time Hillary makes progress Dean applies pressure...WAIT DEAN!!!
People have a right to vote and you and yours have already screwed up the votes for Florida and Mich'!
HILLARY will win, so be patient!

Some of the superdelegates hate the Clintons so much they are willing to totally ignore everything about Obama.

The fact that this man wants to lead our country and he is having defend his patriotism and explain why he is friendly with people that hate America is very disturbing.

Let's not forget he got the endorsement from Hamas...that's comforting.

The Democratic leadership is getting nervous because Obama did poorly in the ABC debate. That's why Howard Dean is pushing for an early decision. They want Obama. Dean, Kerry, and Pelosi want to break the Clintons' hold on the Democratic Party.

You People are so silly,, get over it.
Obama will win!!!!

obama looks like a total idiot, loser, whiner, incompetent pansy in last night's debate. so dean comes out trying to push a decision for obama today. interesting timing, no?

could he be any more blatant? clearly shows FEAR. too bad, so sad.

obama's a loser. dean knows it. just wants to be sure hillary doesn't win. he may get his way in terms of getting the nomination for obama. but no way he gets that marxist elected.

i didn't leave the democratic party. it left me.

s.valenti:
Hillary Clinton has no chance of
winning the nomination mostly because
of the proportional division of
delegates that your Party approved!
However I'm sure my fellow
Republicans will accept your
support for John McCain! Welcome Aboard!

Will Gallup please take a poll to see how much of an idiot democrats think Howard Dean is?

Jenna, NO IT'S NOT out of his hands. If that were true, he wouldn't have been the one to strip them of their delegates, and he wouldn't be the one who periodically says he'll fix it - of course Obama keeps blocking that.

Here's a "rules is rules" argument I bet you didn't know:

The DNC did not take away the VOTES of Florida and Michigan, only the delegates. Obama nixed the idea of a do over, and he voluntarily removed his name from the ballot in Michigan, something Clinton and Obama supporter Dodd did not do, which, again, reminds me of 2000 - Gore followed Florida's recount laws and picked the counties he wanted recounted, and Bush refused to pick his counties pretty much declaring, "It's over! I won! I won! My Daddy's judges will give it to me!" Apparently Obama thought better of removing his name from the ballot in Florida.

So, the votes of Michigan and Florida were certified by the Secretaries of State in Florida and Michigan, and by law they are part of the national popular vote totals, which means that Obama is only ahead of Clinton by 94,000 votes. There is NO reason anyone in their right mind would quit with that margin, and no reason any reputable leader of the party would suggest ending the election.

Here's another rule for ya, the super delegates choosing the candidate who gets the most votes is CERTAINLY well within those precious rules the Obama followers like to prattle on about when faced with the real issue of fairness. It also falls in line with Pelosi's and Obama's own statement that the super delegates must follow the will of the people.

What do we have to twist ourselves into in order to hand this election to Obama; what kind of moral gymnastics are going on here; and how can democrats so blatantly try to cheat another democrat in an election? I'm sickened at my party's behavior! We’ve got democrats in favor of disenfranchising voters, in Florida no less, the DNC pushing "super delegates," which no one ever heard of a year ago to pick the nominee, and Obama and the Obamedia pressuring a candidate who is less than .4% behind in votes, with millions of votes yet to be cast and counted, to step down and let Obama win. That’s not only anti-democratic and against everything we’re supposed to stand for, it’s just stupid in the big picture of the general election.

IF Obama had consented to re-votes, we wouldn't even be dealing with this issue - OBAMA'S fault. The DNC CANNOT, without risking losing the general election, disenfranchise Florida and Michigan - the DNC's fault for not dealing with this in a better way.

NONE of this, however, is Sen. Clinton's fault, and she shouldn't be penalized to the point of having the nomination taken from her on a technicality, nor should anyone lose their votes based on the underhanded behavior of politicians.

2009 10:01:12am. Thank you. You told the truth. And I guess we are to believe that there will be riots and cars burning if Obama is not nominated. The poll on who won the debate is as bogus as the Obama network jamming the ABC website the other night. I know people that COULD NOT get their comments posted. I personally think there were more difficult questions he could have been asked. The last time I posted those, it got pulled. Funny how Obama and his supporters can't take it. Hillary Clinton has.

I just don't know how anyone can say Dean is doing a good job. Even Obama wants to win the general election, one assumes, and Dean is making that impossible.

The division caused in this election isn't the candidates' fault - they're doing what candidates do. It's isn't the voters' fault - they're allowed to be divided. Democracy is a good thing, but too little about this primary has been about democracy.

The DNC has caused it, with not only this FL and MI nightmare, but what Dean is doing right now, in trying stifle the voices of the remaining voters. The media is doing it, by taking sides, slanting coverage, and focusing almost exclusively on rubbish. And he powerful democratic political action groups and other organizations, like moveon.org, dailykos, democraticundergroud, etc. are doing it, but only furthering the agenda of half the party.

And these are the very people who keep saying this primary is divisive and most be ended. NO, THEY DON'T DECIDE ELECTIONS, WE DO! And if we give our power to them, we'll never get it back!

I don't know what the democratic party stands for right now, but it's not anything I want any part of. Dean had better knock this crap off. I know people who aren't even as passionate about this as I am who are disgusted and fed up. He's going too far, way too far.

If the democratic party continues to act as if votes don't matter, they may not get any more votes.

He wants it over because he is in a mess with Florida and Michigan and has no idea how to get out of it. Only a re-vote will solve this. I am from Florida and I will not vote for Obama. I would rather have Clinton but I don't think Mccain is a bad person and I don't think most Americans think he is a bad person.

June?

The Democratic party has a rule making body just like the Republicans. I remember reading that FL and MI also violated the Republicans' rule too. Republicans knew in advance what their punishment would be if they violated the rules.

It is out of Dean's hands. This is the way democracy works. Every party faithful member creates rules. Once decided and agreed, you follow the rules. If Obama was in Hillary's shoes, he would not have a leg to stand on either.

If fair means that Hillary wins no matter what, it won't be fair to Hillary. If that is enough for Democrats to leave the party, McCain will win.

It is what it is.

If there is any indication that the DNC plans to short-circuit the remaining primaries to derail Clinton's campaign, I'll not only vote for John McCain, I'll actively work to get him elected this fall.

by the way, Don't disenfranchise Florida and Michigan.

I might be one of a few people who thinks Howard Dean was the brilliant choice for this current primary fight. He wanted to have a 50 state strategy so Democrats can get back in the running to contest some of these red and purple states.

He wanted to let the primary go forward even though Democrats have been tearing their own hair out over the way this level of democracy appears to the nation and the world. He said he'd stand by the absolute date for the last contest June 6th. The returns should be in by June 10th.

He has managed to keep himself out of saying anything to choose between Obama and Clinton for the nomination. He's reaffirmed out the party rules with regards to Florida and Michigan, asked them to resolve the revote that fell before the deadline, and has managed to not take the criticism personally when the candidates politicized the issue. Clinton, Michigan, and Florida know what has happened to DC when it decided to vote prior to the deadline: their votes counted because they ultimately complied with party rules and the rules committee will ultimately decide their fate if they don't comply. The same will happen here.

Now, I hope and hope that he goes out and pulls all the superdelegates together to decide what the results will be if the Democrats' uncertainty looms past the end of June 10th. Now is a good time to declare loyalty, but no later than June 10th.

I don't like it when Dean takes hits on media conflating an issue. I haven't accepted that Dean lost to Kerry based on the lack of context for that scream without relaying the surrounding noise. Misdirection is no way to report the news.

To all who shout "Let All the Votes Count" I ask you to do the math.
Take the votes that have been cast INCLUDING Florida and Michigan ; use the polling data and count the projected votes for the remaining primaries and neither have enough!

The McCain supporters want this to go to the convention. They know that there are only 2 months after the convention until the GE and there is no way the Dems can smooth over all the bad feelings caused by the Clinton mudlslinging.
I am an Obama supporter who hopes he DOES NOT get the nomination
Neither Dem can win.
Clinton did the mudslinging let her take the fall.

If Obama is elected, I think Dem party will be in chaos. Because Obama is so weak, so undecisive, and everyone preojects his own hope on Obama. There must be conflict, then there will be chaos.

We need a strong, a tough lead --- Clinton.

To Dean:

We need to count Florida and Michigan.
Why Obama says no, then we don't count?

Who is Obama? Why he doesn't listen to voters??
