I’m a conservative Democrat, and John McCain has my vote. His arrogance pales in comparison to Barack Obama. And he didn’t spend 20 years in a racist church, either. I still have a difficult time believing the Democrats are going to nominate a left-wing radical who had the audacity to say he didn’t think his church was particularly controversial. He must have been asleep during the many sermons when his minister preached his anti-Semitic, anti-white and anti-American garbage. It is inconceivable to me that the Democratic elite expects ordinary Democrats like myself to support this candidate. I would have reluctantly supported Hillary Clinton, although I think she is almost as much of a disaster as Obama. Had the Democrats selected a reasonable candidate like Joe Biden or Evan Bayh, they would have a landslide victory in November. My gut instinct tells me that we are going to have a Democratic Congress in November and a Republican president. That’s fine with me. John McCain will be a one-term president, and he can do only so much damage with a Democratic Senate and House. Our country can survive John McCain. I’m not sure it can survive Barack Obama.

There will not be unity in this election, no matter what happens at the Convention. Many Democrats simply will not vote for Barack Obama, whether Clinton is on the ticket or not. He DOES NOT have the support of a majority of Democrats, and he never will. HE IS LIMPING TO THE NOMINATION. That is not a good sign.

Does the phrase "Divided we fall?" ring any bells?

he following comment is typical of so many Obama supporters:
formerhillary said, "She makes me sick, because I KNOW if the roles were reversed she would NEVER be gracious enough to give this option to Obama."

REALITY: I am really sick of the Obamabots attitude of let's all pretend things like Bill is racist and Hillary would not treat Obama this well when everyone with IQ above 74 knows very well that if Hillary were nominated or even the presumed nominee that she would have instantly asked Obama to be VP. That is how an intelligent person gets to unity. As for anyone that thinks Bill Clinton or any Clinton is racist,.....they must have IQ below 70 or they are just lying to themselves.

VOTING Republican for the first time in my life in 2008 but voting Hillary 2012

I hope Bill Clinton gets some revenge for being called a racist by the Obama campaign during his speech in the convention, that'd be awesome.

Obambia - NOT FIT FOR PRESIDENT!

Go McCain / Hillary !!

Go John McCain!

May the American people indeed take stock of Emperor Obama who, not endorsed by any majority of votes from the people, crowned himself.

How the nonsense of disavowing Michigan and Florida transpired, it's simply another version of the machinations which flow in the wake of removing choice from the American people. The choice was really Hillary, and Bill in the background. The best American President of modern times, and in his foreign policy as well, which barely missed coming to fruition in the Middle East. If she came close to his skills,[and I believe although not so jovial she would exceed them] the USA would be fortunate to have her in the oval office. Certainly rather than a "presumptive" arrogant celebrant of himself who, if you notice, is more than happy to disenfranchise all voters before he is even started.

Obama is so gracious he is even allowing Florida and Michigan to have a voice, now that he has the nomination sewn up. Hear the rumors: oh, Obama could take Florida and Michigan in the general! All I can say is, dream on.

To say:
- Obama does not have the support of the majority of Democrats
- Hillary Clinton will be the Dem nominee in 2012 (or any future election)
- It would be preferable to have McCain as president over Obama

is complete and utter idiocy. Hillary people should compare the candidates on the issues - if they really think McCain would be better for the country than Obama, they aren't really Democrats, or weren't paying attention to Hillary's message.

This sad and the main reason why Mrs. Clinton should not get anything. Look past his color and try to listen to the man. I will not support Mrs. Clinton if she does what she has in her head to do. Just like you all are not voting for him don't think that people will not vote for her. I think that we all know if the table was turned she would not do the same hence she has no class. Yes I have made it through Bush I will make it through another bad president (clinton, McCain). Obama O8 don't you think it's time for a change. Look who has been in the office for the past 8 years.

I hope the people in the know( how bad the democrats want to win) will be smart enough to put the one that can win in the #1 spot and it isn't obama. Obama isn't going to beat MCBUSH and we all know that so i hope the delegates realize it to.These so called republicans that turned democrat just who did they vote for in the primary. And now er have democrats that will vote for MCBUSH but may have voted for Hillary and not Obama. get smart delegates. Or your going to have a write in of a party member all on her own.

Having the support of the voters, and merely having the support of an oligarchy of "superdelegates" with notions of superiority over the national interest and popular choice are two very different scenarios. Where in the Constitution is an American President proposed to be elected by superdelegates? What version of American democracy is this type of hijacked nomination supposed to represent? At least George Bush's strange route ascendancy is mentioned, if not anticipated, by America's protective forefathers. It is not so critical who is the choice of the American people as it is that their choice is represented accurately.

The blogs right now are a complete joke.
With McCain & the Republicans openly offering rewards for their talking points being posted & so many out of work what do we expect. I for one would expect a little more scrutiny by ABC instead of simply throwing gas on the fire with baited questions.
Despicable...

I am a 61-year-old unemployed female with some college education. I am talking to you from under the Obama bus. Those of you who are supporting Obama don't understand what this is like because Sen. Clinton never once told you that your vote was not necessary for her to win. I doubt that the DNC will allow anything to usurp the power of their favored candidate, but I can still hope. The saddest part of this whole campaign has been the unbelievable negativism flowing from the DNC, Obama's campaign and the media. For the first time in 40 years, I will be voting for a Republican - not because I want to, but because I believe there is no other choice.

So an inner party act of comity supported by both sides turns in to CHAOS???
Orwell would be proud.

Uhmmmm, no other choice? The choice is actually a Democrat who won the contest for nomination by having a superior campaign that predicted what was needed to win and executed the plan perfectly.
Hillary relied on old power and gender politics to steam her forward in the age of information and lost. I am sorry for that, since many ardent supporters were so inspired by her campaign, but that is the situation we are in. Refusing to accept this will lead to McCain, who has no campaign to speak of other than fear, smear and hate, to steal the election from the Democratic party.

Well, to me a true patriot smashes fascists and hate mongers, exposes cheap theatrics for the pomp they are and NEVER claims that someone who does not do what they do is NOT a patriot. Service members have died and shed blood so that we are free to express our patriotism however we damn well please!

Listen, you can hear the groans of the GOP wagon slowly crumbling...

What is the Constitutional basis for winning a party nomination by means of superdelegates, while imposing inner-party regulation that nominally disenfranchises millions of legitimate votes in Florida and Michigan? As I understand, not all of the legitimately elected Florida and Michigan delegates will be seated? In which case, no matter what sort of campaign Hillary Clinton ran, she is being cheated. The electoral college does nothing to remedy this gaping hole in elected democracy as it comes into play only during the general election. Who created this "wrinkle" in the Democratic Party proceedings -- and to what purpose?

while he was body surfing....

obuma was hoping that the conflict with Russia and Georgia would be over when his vacation is over....so he wouldn't have to answer any questions about it.....

actually no more questions ever....just wanna eat my waffles, see my tutu, get some shaved ice, and do some body surfing....o-kaaay...sweetie---
