Dont count on money for the DNC from the AA for Obama either, they will send money to Obama yes but sending money to the DNC is another story.

Vanessa: Obama does not lead in the popular vote when Michigan and Florida are included...that's the point! He won in caucuses which represents only a limited batch of potential voters, not those who have to work, care for kids, can't drive themselves, or stay out until all hours as those who can do so drag it out.
It's really a different kind of engagement. In the states which are likely to vote GOP, those caucuses don't carry much real weight at all. This is something the unpledged delegates are supposed to take into consideration. Since most of the public seems to be unaware of their role, haven't bothered to find out, and haven't been clued in by the media they don't understand what's going on.
When it comes to seating the delegates from Florida and Michigan, the party really has to or they risk alienating the voters in those states. The voters were not responsible for this mess and, particularly in Florida, where they've been seriously disenfranchised by the GOP in the recent past, it would be "twisting the knife" for the Democratic Party to do the same.
Clinton did not campaign in either state. Obama did air TV commercials in Florida which was against the party's rules. He took his name off the Michigan ballot and has admitted that was an error as it was not required by the Democratic party. Neither campaigned in Michigan, by the way.
Going 50/50 on the votes cast there won't work as it effectively changes the vote, i.e., is another way of disenfranchising the voters yet again. Voters in Michigan were told to vote for "other" if they were voting for Obama...those are his votes, and it's quite fair as he removed his name. As well run as his campaign may have been when it came to caucuses, it did make some errors and has to be responsible for those as well as for their successes.

It all makes sense, if you play it fairly.

Obama won NC with big margin because 91% AA voted for him.
This not the real election.
Why don't we have 2 presidents.
One for AA and the other one for the whole nation.

There is nothing ABC news can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President. About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone Jr., told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. This information can be obtained from one of his published works on CD entitled “Strange Patterns of Recent American Presidents.” On track 7 of this CD, he tells us that Sen. Clinton will once again be in the White House. So give it up ABC News. And Barack, your days are numbered.

I am with Hillary all the way. Her speech last night was amazing. What a woman, what a fighter!! We need Hillary in the White House. Go Hillary Go!!!!

If DNC abandon Hillary and say she is the same ticket with Obama.
Don't expect me to vote for him.
Hillary don't let DNC use you to get your supporters to vote for him.
We will not!

@Emily: Not trying to antagonize you, but you seem to feel otherwise. And I'm not speaking for Senator Clinton; I'm only going by what she has consistently said herself, including her speech last night.

Doe Obama really win? No, here is why:

In TX, Obama won caucus by 10% but lost primary by 4%.

In WA, Obama won caucus by 37% but only won primary vote by 5%.

So, if you convert all caucuses to primaries, then Obama should have been gone a long time ago.

But, maybe the Obama-cult can change the GE to caucus. Yes, you can???

How many of these new rush of voters that Dean keeps speaking about, these young kids that signed up to the party just to vote for Obama, and all others who never even cared one hoot about any election before, are they now going to work for the DNC?

Are the young ones going to take their time and effort to push the DNC on college campuses, are they going to work night and day to keep the party going after the election?

A party is just not made viable for a presidential election and then toss aside until the next one comes around, it will need activist, workers, able bodies to keep the thing going.

All these new found interest in the DNC because of Obama what will happen if he does not win, will they keep fighting working, building for the next round?

I will bet anything when this is over the majority of them will not have the time, that is why so many that have spent years working for this party and now feel slighted will never accept Obama and what is being done to this party, that is why there is a major split now, so who wants to think its trivial and will blow over once Obama is chosen better think again.

2210 now? Pretty soon it's going to be 3000, and then when no one gets it, she's going to stay in the race and say no one has won yet.

If Hillary is forced out and this is a close race how do you think it makes her supporters feel or is that you really don't think you need white blue collar workers.take this to the bank Tim ,Chris, Andrea, Keith and are all for McCain that is a fact do you really think life time republicans have changed there minds.

heythere: that's because many one-day-demo-forever-rep. voted for him to push Clinton out of race. yes, it is that simple.

Stick a fork in Hillary, shes done. Theres no chance now for her, she should just be a good person and quit. She can always run next time, if she gets out now, with some dignity!

heythere,

The key states are OH, FL, PA, etc...

Obama can't win red states because of race issue, which has offended some whites...

Turner must be one of those that just signed up and became a democrat just to vote for Obama, bet he has never sent one penny to the DNC in his life and will never if Obama does not win.

As you hear it is 2209 delegates and no one has those yet. The process must continue. Hillary does have a chance. Obama is a tainted candidate because of his associations, his poor judgement, his lack of experience, and his constant lies. The man wouldn't even know how to govern Kankakee.

Obama won the nomination fair and square. He deserves it. Hillary trusted her idiot team and they let her down. She is ultimately to blame for it. But lets not forget how GREAT a campaign Axelrod and Burton ran for Obama.

Why did this take so long ? Because Obama is a flawed candidate. He very well ran a better campaign, but he is NOT the better candidate.

Hillary clinton is the better candidate.

So you had a situation where one is the better candidate, and the other has more charisma and ran a superior campaign.

So one is saying Hillary should be the nominee because she is the better leader for America.

The other is saying Obama is winning the nomination process so he should.

In the end, the way you choose the nominee is the campaign process, which Obama won.

So lets not rain on his parade.

Lets rally around Obama.

Fighter

People love caucuses. They Rock!

Hillary lost the caucuses because she was unprepared to compete in them.

I guess you could say she was not ready on DAY ONE, here.

Emily, Please try to understand. You say you can live with Mccain, but you are worried about what kind of person Obama would put on the Supreme Court? Well I can tell you this..whomever it is will be a liberal and will protect womens rights, and whomever Mccain appoints will be a conservative and will take your rights away, but you decide for yourself who you "trust".

I wonder if Hillary decided to run as Independant , you guys can not stop her and wait what will happen.
We will support her.
