justme2see... we have never had a truly democratic party, we have never had a true democracy... we have a democratic republic. We vote for other people to vote for us.

It is the right time for them to decide the candidate best suit for the job. I do have great regard for Hillary but can not just win this nomination any longer. It is ttme to come together as one family and one people to put all our forces together to defeat the REPUBLICAN IN THE FALL. THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRIORITY FROM NOW ONWARD AS DEMOCRAT.

Hope you enjoy paying higher taxes so obama can send the money to africa.

How nice that a lot of people are opening up their eyes widely and realise that the moment has come.

Even James Carville who once called Bill Richardson "Judas" has now conceeded.

Who will tell Hillary and some of her supporters that "This is the reality", the bird has slipped from the hands and you can't catch it!!!! It has gone.

Split the vote and let McCain in that's a positive solution!

I just love when the "true" democrats throw a temper tantrum because their candidate is losing. Really, as a Democrat, what is voting for McCain going to accomplish. Are you really gonna cut off your nose to spite your face?

Even Clinton has said it several times...the differences between her and Obama are miniscule compared to the differences on policy between her and McCain. Let's grow up, people!

justme2see

anybody who can go for McCain from Clinton wasn't voting on trying to help this country anyway...

if you can go from Clinton to Mccain that means one of two things...

You are voting out of spite...which is really adult and helpful to the country

or

You put race, and old time politics ahead of saving the country.

Period.

I think we need a third party, whatever name. It's a pity to count Hillary out. She is such a brilliant lady.

We should see three persons to compete, Hillary, McCain or Obama, see who wins in the fall.

Sometimes, the winner is not the best. We already seen this happen in the past 7 years. Why do we want to see this again?

The SDs backing Obama, I don't see they have ration, their reason is just that, Obama is young, or they want the race to finish soon. They don't THINK who is really the best candidate for the country.

The superdelegates are trying to bring unity to the dem party, when it only divides us further. Oblama is a very scary figure, with only 1 year national experience, in his own words he did not have enough experience.

golfgirlusa

You are wrong... Obama is the right candidate at the right time.

and when we choose the right candidatt with the right message at the right time...that is when a party wins.

It is when they pick the person who was the embedded candidate...the one who was the senior member...or the next in line...or the one with the most experience...that they and we have lost.

It is not about paying dues...it is about the right judgement and vision for the problems and status of the world at this time.

Obama is the one candidate who can do what the others can't...the biggest issue of all...get our standing back in the world. A vote for Obama is if nothing else a vote for the "right candidate at the right time" rather than old political machines just forcing their way through.

All I can say is Thank God for the internet.

oblama can't even win half of the 57 states...ha, ha, ha, he is such a joke

justme2see

vote for Mccain in the face of extending this war

in Mccain's own words...he is not an economist...and his policies show it...

so what are you voting for...did you know he was the ChairPerson in 2002/3 of the Committee for Iraq Liberation? Yes he and Lieberman...with a bunch of right wing nut jobs...who pushed this war before we were even in it.

Did you know that?

MCCain has the experience all right...the same experience that got us here.

Clinton supporters remind me of my 7-year-old when playing with his 5-year-old brother. If he can't get his way, he sulks in the corner and refuses to play.

dl, I will proudly tell my kids that I helped to defeat Oblama and cast my vote for John McCain.

What makes you think OBama can deliver what he panders you have nothing to go on but hope and change.

Its unfortunate whe Hill was winning 3 digits superdelegates nobody was critisizing the democratic enviroment in the party, but when they begin to fall in line towards the OOO Team, there is a problem and people want to swicth to McCain. these kind of politics is even fading out in Ghana my country. Big-up and be patrotic party followwers. allow the Superdelegates and Delegates to vote according to what they believe in and what see. Long live our great party. long live the nominee

and Bishop and justme2see

on the night of the election put yourselves there what is on tv...how has the world changed on that night... how does the world view us...how has this country evolved if...

John Mccain won. are people in europe and asia and south america cheering for us... probably not

if Barack Obama wins... are their celebrations in the streets of Buenos Aires, Melbourne, London, Paris Madrid Tokyo Beijing Moscow, Budapest, canada...has the terrorists job become harder because more of the people of the world are rooting for us?

Read the papers from around the world...the rest of the world community is watching and if you were informed most are viewing this as a test for us and their support...

which candidate suddenly makes better again to "buy American"

Unfortunately as big of a hero as he was in the war... it is not McCain.

Well when hope and change buy your gas, help with the housing crisis, health care, etc, then you vote for mr. I have 1 year national experience, in my own words not ready to run yet. Enjoy

justme2see

and how exactly is McCain helping those?

and if you'll remember

Bill Clinton

had less national experience than Obama.

dl, he had been a governor for what like 12 years? You need to open your eyes, before it is too late.

dl,

As I repeated to you yesterdsy:

1. Obama will make his change by bringing his infamous Chicago politics into Washington

2. Obama will make new face of US to the world by negotiating terrorists like his advisor just did to Hamas

3. Obama will increase your tax to support his huge economic packages and no way to resolve our national debts

4. Obama will keep the troops in Iraq as long as possible because he has no solution to Iraq but repeating his same old anti-war speech...

5. Obama is truly opportunist by dumping his 20ys uncle pastor to gain his political advantage

6. Obama has been proven out of touch since he can't win work-class people

7. Obama admitted he is a quiter by said he can't win PA, he can't win WV and KY.. He doesn't care those work-class people...

So how will Americans vote for a quiter with the least experience and least qualification to be president of united states....

Justme2see:
IMHO you are a very weak supporter of HRC and what she has stood for most of her life. She has said over and over that a democrat MUST win the white house this year.
Apparently you only believe in her if she wins.
McCain's experience is part of the wisdom and judgement that got us all into the big mess we're in. So he is a dismal choice for anyone who supported HRC, especially because of his viewsonthe war, the economy, womens' rights, and education. In all these areas, about which HRC was passionate, McCain is the anti-HRC.
So you are only demonstrating that your support for HRC was conditional.You only backed her if she ended up winning.
As someone who really wants to see a change in the country, I hope you do support McCain with the same die hard tenacity you have shown HRC.
In elections, someone wins, everyone else doesn't. That's the reality of it.

True Truth,

WHAT YOU FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH LEADERSHIP. GOD GIVE THEM WISDOM, GOOD JUDGEMENT AND ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB.

justme2see, so you'd rather vote for McCrazy out-of-pure malice than vote your economic interest? Are u that fragile? Sen.Obama has do nothing to you, Hillary or her supporters.
Despite her backhanded tactics in this campaign, she is tenacious trailblazer and i believe she deserves a spot on Obama's ticket. Those 2 together would generate unbelievable amounts of enthusiasm, money and support.

Obama/Clinton 08'

justme2see, I take it you were turned away from Hillary then too when she had a +100 superdelegate lead at the begining of the primary season?

backing hillary is like backing a donkey in a horse race, blind bats wake up.

I was thinking about this bitter comment that people are still hammering Obama on....why is it that when Senator Clinton made those comments to ABC about hard-working Americans, white Americans, and wrote those off as a poor choice of words it was accepted as such. However, when Senator Obama used "bitter" instead of "angry/frustrated" and "cling" instead of "rely on", Senator Clinton pounced on them and labeled him as an elitist. Senator Obama's poor choice of words no more make him an elitist who looks down on small-town people than Senator Clinton's make her a racist who looks down on African Americans?? Both their RECORDS indicate clearly the opposite of elite (Obama) and racist (Clinton) right?

justme2see:
last anyone checked there weren't 57 states in the USA; the rest of us can only hope you're not registered to vote.

Ever heard "The Emperor''s New Clothes"

One see the Clothes.
One see the color.
One see the body.

LOL

Justme2see

You're probably not even old enough to vote

It's time to move it on, the Hillary camp is running this thing into the ground but its time for her to start thinking about the Democratic party. I know how she always said, I will, and Obama would say together we will, but again its time to start unifying the Democratic party to build a stronger campaign for November's election. Obama/Hillary or Obama/Edwards?

And the Obama vitriol continues. Still don't get it do ya? Like HRC, her minion supports are definitely old school and march forward with Hill and Bill's scorch earth policies. It's about change, it's about honesty, it's about truth, it's about taking the high ground, and most of all, it is about following the rules. Following the rules is something the Clintons never understood. HRC and her followers believe that she deserves favored treatment by virtue of her perceived superiority, intellect, and social status. – That's elitism!

If she was such an all powerful candidate of the people, why was her Goliath Political Machine toppled by an inexperienced nobody?

If she is the people's choice then why did she loose the popular vote, the delegate vote, the super-delegate vote, and the total number of States won to someone who is to naive for politics?

Are you trying to say the general population ( White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Purple, Green, Rich, Poor) are to stupid to vote for the right candidate? – That's elitism! That's Hillary! That's Bill! That's Geraldine Ferraro! And that's old school politicks!

All you HRC supporters buck-up, put your tail between your legs, admit you were wrong, and support the real candidate, Barack Obama. For once, you can do what the rest of us have been doing since JFK. That is staying true-blue in the hopes someone in the party would emerge to take up his mantle. The time is now, the year is 2008, and the hope lies in a young American that is a true representation of what made this nation great. Go Blue, Go Obama!

Dana

Unfortunately, by intent or not, this is what some of American is really about. We can 'seem' to come together and be one around a disaster or some competition, but internally we are the circus that the rest of the world rightfully labels as hypocritical. Time after time we exercise our American rights for bigger, louder, and often dumber. We use to lead the world because there was a core belief that right and fair trumped wrong and legal. Innovation was inspired if not demanded; and not just "R and D" for what to market next, but to improve mankind. The country I served is dying and will be a brief chapter in history books--if the world survives our loss.

The SDs who are voting for Obama recognize not just his lead in states won, pledged delegates, and the popular vote, but his overall position as the strongest candidate against McCain.

Why? The Clintons trail along behind them miles of sleaze and several semi-trucks filled with baggage. Obama hasn't brought any of this up during the primaries, but you better believe the Republicans would all over it. We may not care about Whitewater, Hillary's shady dealings with cattle futures, Vince Foster, and Bill's uber-sleazy last-minute pardons (brokered by Hillary's brothers). But millions of voters out there do, for good or for ill. Many Dems have forgotten, or have blinded themselves to, just how much loathing there is out there in middle America for the Clintons. In the balance, her negatives outweigh her positives as far as they general electorate is concerned.

That's why Obama would be crazy to pick her as VP. He'd bring along all of her negatives, and few of her positives. Combine that with having Hillary and Bill undermining him in the White House all the time, and it's just a bad, bad choice. He's much smarter than to make such a bad choice, luckily for us.

If Clinton supporters are angry at anyone, they should be angry with the Clintons themselves and her campaign staff. This was Hillary's campaign to lose, and she lost it through a combination of arrogance, bad strategy, and a willingness to go negative and dirty to such an extent that it turned off many voters.

It's time to turn the page, and focus on winning the White House.

More hate, more refusal to see the obvious. And the usual misinterpretations. When we say we wont vote for Obama, they accuse us of being republicans, when we tell them we will write-in Hillary, they call us racists.

WE ARE THE CENTRISTS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE SWING VOTERS (For those of you too young to remember Regan, we are 'Regan Democrats', go look it up).

We will not vote for Obama because the Obama hate-filled supporters with their disgusting remarks like this one (taken from a CNN comment):
"all of you Clinton supporters will never accept that because either you are republicans in Democtratic skin or you are sheer racists."

And how many of you Obama supporters think this way? I do not want to be associated with you. A candidates supporters are a clear reflection of the candidates campaign. And many of the Obama supporters have no idea what unity means.

I've been a Democrat my entire life, and I vote smart by looking at each race on the ballot, and voting for independents instead of Republicans when there is no Democrat running against the Republican. Many Obama supporters and their hate-filled retoric make me realize the party is being hijacked by the extreme left, and I wont stand for it. I'll live with 4 more years of Republican control of the White House before I'll stand around and watch my party get turned into a group of neo-libs (that's the opposite of neo-cons for those of you that don't understand the word). What bugs me the most is that the Obama campaign knew about the supporters and their hate-filled remarks and never (NOT ONCE) told those extremists to stop behaving like children.

We already had 8 years of Mr. Extremist (GW Bush and his cronism). That's more than enough for me. NO MORE EXTREMEISTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

So, I'll see you in November when I write-in Hillary, or Vote McCain, BUT I WILL VOTE IN NOVEMBER! And that will send an extremely clear message to the DNC! One more little fact, Centrists CAN and DO vote for Republicans when they feel they are doing the right thing. I will never support Obama based on his supporters behavior, so you can imagine how many others wont support Obama either. When Obama looses the election, the extremeists of the Democratic party will be the ones to blame.

So here is the joke for the day: The Obama campaign is running on hope! That means you will HOPE your parrents dont come to live with you when their retirement is worthless after Bush gets done with it. do you really think a guy that has NEVER done anything except run for office knows anything about how to turn an economy around? More hope and dreams.

"WHAT YOU FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH LEADERSHIP. GOD GIVE THEM WISDOM, GOOD JUDGEMENT AND ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB."

Hahahahahahahaah

The chosen one?

Get real life while read too much.

Hillary will win the popular vote, and claim the logical high ground, however it will be a few hundred left wing activists, that will defy reasoning and hand the nomination to Obama, therby creating a new form of Democracy, this being a psuedo-government based on preferential treatment.

What a bunch of players why doesn't he just beat her in WV and KY if he can.He is a front runner but can't win two little states I thought all fifty were in play.

Forever, it is about love but not hate.

It sounds
Change, Hope, Dream

It speaks
Hate, Bitter, Nightmare

This is not a pitch, its clarification. The DNC and all of those people coming out to support Obama have an agenda. Not just to snub the Clintons, as I am sure some may be, but to try to return this government back to something that resembles the intent of the founders. They see this type of desire and leadership in Obama, so they are taking a shot. They aren't pandering to Blacks, a whopping 16% of the population. They aren't trying to disenfranchise women. They are doing what they were put in their offices to do in the first place...represent the will of the people. If everyone would stop pointing fingers to contrast so much of what is wrong they might see a chance to start making things right again. Bush has turned the Constitution into something read with the same enthusiasm and frequency as that plaque on the back of hotel room doors. And there is nothing wrong with Centrists and their agenda, assuming that by definition means that you will support who is closest to the center and not play spoiler to benefit who isn’t. Once again, I ask that we remove the labels and VOTE AMERICA FIRST.

Senator Clinton is a very formidable candidate but Obama is better and HE IS the nominee. Let us reunite and win this election in November so we can put Bush and his policies in the fire. Bush only cares for the RICH. Obama cares for the poor.

I'd like to remind everyone about this promise. "We will take that money we are paying towards the Iraq war and use it to rebuild our infrastructure".

Hey, wait a minute! We are borrowing that money, we cannot afford to borrow any more money!

I guess we can rebuild our infrastructure with hope and dreams.

What a load of Bs those Obama supporters will swallow in order to vote for their candidate.

And a note to the black voters. 92% is a racist vote. By any measure of the count, that's is a racist move. SHAME ON YOU FOR THAT!

We dont want to hear about McCain as the presumptive nominee until he submits to full and open testing for the possibility of either incipient Alzheimer's and short term memory loss. He has probably lost his short term memory already, and we dont need another Ron Reagan being hidden in a back room while the CIA does its dirt. He has been hiding his medical report since April 15th and it probably doesnt even address the key issues of neurology and memory.

Monique, you need to look at the case in court vs HRC.
Paul v Clinton scheduled for trial, Feb 8th in L.A, CA.
That's real. Your stuff is fantasy.

to the folks who say that the president has to have a lot of experience, many presidents had no political experience at all and some were considered excellent and some were bums. Ditto for the experienced ones. Some were great and some were bums.
We have had lots of presidents who never were elected to any office before being president. Their entire fame was based on being a general. Some were bums and some were good. What you actually need is brains and the ability to communicate your ideas. Obama has both and some experience in elected office.
Bush was a former governor. He had Karl Rove and a book on how to take over the Middle east. See where that got us. You cannot claim that his prior experience meant success. He is the greatest failure in generations.
The dollar is worth 1/2 what it was when Bush came to power.
