Why can't the DNC understand that Michigan and Florida are two important states. They had better get that issue resolved. Who ever is the nominee, they can't win without them. It seems Hillary is the only one fighting for those votes. If everyone says Obama is the potential nominee, why are his supporters or the DNC fighting for those delegates. He has to win those states in November. McCain is already ahead in Florida.

rrbb2003: LOL!!! I'll be surprised if Mccain takes 20 states.

Based on current voting pattern from Obama, it is likely Obama can only win 10 "black" states thanks to his half-AA brothers and will lose the rest of them since he can't win white votes and other minority votes per his past winning records..

I doubt states like Oregon, Washington, California, Wisonsin, Connecticut, etc. are "black states."

Obama has been used to put the Clintons out smart of Kerry and Kennedy Dood Nunn ect
Talk about class war fare when will they start taxing us all even poor who work.

True Truth and here I thought we only had red and blue states.

Mr Mouse..it ain't over til its over : )

Mary: Clinton, Kucinich and Dodd were the only ones who had their names on the ballot...everyone else followed the rules of the DNC....Kucinich and Dodd put their names on the ballot because they were desperate for even one vote...Clinton put her name on the ballot as a back-up plan in case something like this happened because she is a ruthless candidate. In an interview with NPR during New Hampshire she told the interviewer that she new the vote in MI was a joke. And yes, the audio of that interview is still around...sorry!

Bottom line here is that Dems mostlikely will crown Obama as its nominee unless there is a dramatic blow from Obama side...

So the Hillary's supporters need to decide if they like to put country first or Party first...

Do you really think McCain would be a "bad" president simply because he is Reps? Don't forget Reagon is Reps as well, who Obama has praised as his idol..

I want to respond to True Truth

Please do not bring up the stereotype that Republicans are small government, tax cutters and that the Democrats are tax and spend liberals. The truth is that the last three Republican Presidents have borrowed their way to tax cuts. This means that future generations will end up paying the bill (with interest). Likewise the statement that Republicans are for small government. Not so. Bush ((jr) has presided over the biggest expansion of government in decades.

The truth is that both Democrats AND Republicans love to spend our money. The only real difference is where the money is allocated. I look to Obama to reverse this by assigning spending in line with OUR priorities.

The CNN statistics vary slightly from ABC delegate votes, which isn't untypical for the data. Obama's popular vote only exceeds Clinton's by 2 percent. The DNC will have a Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31st where the delegate issues in Michigan and Florida are expected to be resolved. In the next round of a six state primary, Oregon looks like the only state to Obama's clear advantage. My point is this is a very tight but still fluid race, not a fixed and decisive one with a clear winner and loser to declare.

Katrina: MT and SD will go for Obama...even if MI and FL went for Clinton she would still be far behind because of yesterday's results...its over.

Be realistic, no one will withdraw troops without final assessemnt of security stability of mid-east...

The war in Iraq is a national interest and international security matter...

Neither Rep nor Dem will withdraw troops because it is opposed by military leaders and it will cause chaos in Mid-east...The oil price will be hitting the roof and the entire global economy will be shaking...

Do your jobs and count the votes already. Geez.

You can't make us unify behind someone that is NOT FIT to be president no matter how many times you repeat it. We won't!! we won't!! we won't!!

McCAIN over BHO any day !!!

Mary: Did you forget the part where I said that in an interview with NPR CLinton said that she knew that the vote in MI was a joke...like all Clinton supporters you hear what you want to hear...the truth must hurt.

Clinton should quit....LOL!!!

Cute, huh?

Think they'll show up in November to vote? It may not be "in" then or fashionable. It's hard to maintain the interest of the young for that long. Seasons change.
Hey, it'll be football and beer season—well, that's ongoing.

I'm sure there's some "serious" support there, but don't count on a huge vote, it has a tradition of just vaporizing.

This time I sort of agree with True Truth on the draw down of our troops BUT do you realise who really supplies our crude oil (and petroleum for that matter)? In decending order they are: Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Nigeria, Venezuela, IRAQ (no less), Angola, Kuwait, Colombia, Algeria, Ecuador, Brazil, Congo, Chad and Russia. Sort of light on those "nasty Arabs" don't you think! Saudi Arabia constituted something less than 18% of February's imports per the list above. As a percentage of totals (including home production) it was considerably less!

A: You don't seem believable due to twisted comments.
B: Response: Obama thought less than Hillary. Reread it.
C: The joke is on you, think it through...you're the one who said she was ruthless and that it was a backup plan. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
D: The truth is what it is. Light. Knowledge. Power. Don't try to craft a halo for Obama, he's just an ambitious politician and a junior one at that. He is a puppet, just as "W" was. He doesn't know the job or what to say...not yet ready for prime time.
