Harry Reid: Nominee will be chosen before July 1

Harry Reid, D-Nev., pooh-poohed talk of deep divisions being created by the protracted Democratic presidential contest."The negative toll on Obama and Clinton will end five minutes after the nominee is chosen.
If Obama is chosen 29% of Hillary's supporters will jump ship. IF Hillary is chosen 16% of the Obama's voters will jump ship.
Not the Canadates but the DNC better get their act together. This is not a slam dunk shoo in for dems. Alot of Pugs are switching parties to throw their numbers off.

Im a Florida voter and unless my vote is counted and the florida delegates are seated then and only then will this voter decide to vote at all. Im not alone and there is over 1.7 million voters who have been disenfrancised.

HoosierSue:
Have your children look for
Larry Sinclair's
relationship with
Senator Obama!

Jgaw, the part of 1990s which were horrible include Scandals related to the Clintons, House and Senat taken over by republicans, presidency taken over by the republicans, bombardements of Bosnia, etc. The only one candidate who has a plan to stop the war in Irak, make college affordable, address the economic recession, unite America and get it back to lead the world,is Obama. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA087.

no, we want the person who has a plan to
end the war
bring universal healthcare for all
make college affordable for all young people who want it
get this economy back on track

which part of the 1990's didn't you like?

"The Peace or the Prosperity"-Hillary Clinton

Hillary will get the job done.

Someone stated here that our kids can be trusted to choose our next leader (Obama) because they're wise since they can google anything. Apparently they aren't googling or they would not be falling for Obama's "Yes we can!" hook, line, and sinker. Hitler targeted youth. Think about it.

Why sure, why not? Then oyu can pretend that diversity is a bad thing.

Actually, the idea of an Independant party is an oxy-moron, and offensive to me.

That would just make Independant thinking more of an abstract, and all independant thought would be attached to other members of that party, rather than being seen as an individuals ideas of their own.

Being an independant means independant. Sure a democt or a republican can get my vote, but I owe allegiance to neither of them.

pp: it's called "Take It Back"? And it's by Carville and Begala? I'll check it out. I LOVE James Carville---he's so funny, smart, and respectful----all in ONE. And-----his wife is a Republican. What a couple----I'll bet they have no problem with conversation!

Well, goodnight all....it's getting late for me.....see you again on the blogs!

hillary is the one--this may well open up a can of worms, but is not the intent. carville and begala wrote a tremendous book for the democrats called "take it back". among many of their ideas/suggestions was a way to finance the elections. really some pretty cool ideas about most issues facing all of us.. if you are really interested in solutions,ideas, and how to shape their presentation in a way that really explains where we as democrats are(were) coming from, it may be interesting for you to read.
hope we both can find our new "home".

....and I KNOW....all of you "Independent Party" people out there will scream, "THERE IS A 3RD PARTY---the INDEPENDENTS !!!!".

I am talking about a 2nd, similiar Party for Democratic candidates, as the ONE Democratic Party is getting too diverse.

pp: I have to agree with you, actually.....after this election I hope that there is a 3rd Party, also----people need more than 2 choices. It's to their advantage.

I almost wish we could follow other countries' leads and cut our Nomination selection elections and Presidential Elections down to just 6 months and limit the amount spent to a certain reasonable amount, that is THE SAME FOR ALL CANDIDATES---"hey, candidate----that $ amount is ALL YOU GET, and you ALSO have only 6 MONTHS to campaign, too" !!

No, I see CLEARLY what you were saying and I reposted it. What I was asking was... why? Why did you say it in the first place when CLEARLY it has nothing to do with the issue? And why are you avoiding owning up to it now that it is in plain sight?

Give it UP, James in Idaho.......you clearly do not understand what I was saying, and NOTHING I say is gonna get you to see what I was saying......

As well, you avoided answering the quesiton...

"I don't have a problem with black people. I would vote for a black candidate for President----a man OR woman, but not this obama candidate, who is "mixed" and not a good leader-----THAT is why I won't vote for him. He isn't a good "leader"."

Oh, I see, so you don't have a problem with black people... just mixed people?

Again, why is it an issue?

hillaryis the one,
the solution is probably going to be a viable third party.
i am a die hard democrat, but after this nomination process, i may leave the party. i have just become to bitter and angry with so many of the party...peons like me, as well as, the big mucky-mucks, ie., superdelegates.

What is ironic about the Democrat Party is that it is hailed as the "Party of Diversity"----but as the years go on, this hailed description is becoming a divisive tool among "factions" and "special interests" in the Democratic Party-----we are almost TOO diverse to choose ONE SUITABLE CANDIDATE, because we all disagree-----and one person cannot be all things to all people. SOMEBODY that wants to be represented by a particular Candidate Nominee is gonna feel that THAT CANDIDATE does NOT SPEAK FOR ME.

I predict that this will get worse in election years to come for the Democratic Party.....and I SURE don't know what the solution is !!

I'm not being funny I am being observant, and as far as the rest of your post here... that's good for you... that's YOUR opinon. Do what you want, but in doing so don't just up and decide that anyone running against your candidate is Eeeeeeviiiiil. Which is certainly what is going on on many websites.

See?

James In Idaho: you are too funny !

I am voting for the BEST QUALIFIED PERSON and CANDIDATE.....that's Hillary Clinton, and I would vote for her if she were white, black, 1/2/ black and 1/2 white, or if she was green, or purple, or had tattoos all over her or if she wore pants suits all the time.....

I VOTE FOR HILLARY because she is the only one who will get our country back on the right track ASAP.

.. wasn't President Harding a tad Black?

If so, than b o couldn't even BE our first Black president ever?

Thus, everything is kosher, and you can ALL vote for the most qualified candidate and make her the First Woman President of these United States!

Give 'em hell, Hillary ;-)

Again... WHAT is your POINT? WHY bring it up at all if it is not an issue for YOU?

You don't see any others of us brigning that up because it's not an issue to us... we or more acurately ME... are just responding to what YOU have said, and VICKIE has said... see?!
