Tom DeLay? Why does anyone care what this man thinks? He left the US House of Representatives in disgrace; his mugshot from his arrest is plastered all over the internet. He's under investigation and indictment, and was a vitriolic and divisive leader when our nation desperately needed someone to bring us together. So exactly how is he any longer relevant to the politics of this country?

Why are you having Tom Delay on your show this morning? He is a well-known crook who left office in disgrace. Who cares what his opinion might be. If you are going to have serious political discussions, please have someone who is respected by the general public, not just you insiders in Washington.

Why is it that nobody points out that the number of people who voted in Washington (31,000) and Nebraska (38000) is such a small percentage of the number of voters in those states as to be statisticly insignificant as a representative for all democrats in those states?

This caucus system is ridiculous for providing proper representation of the voter's wishes. Really, 31,000 people in Wa decide the delagates when there are millions of potential voters in that state. I caucused in Colorado and although it was a great experience, it is overly burdensome for most people.

It may prove to be the biggest disaster for the Democrats. While I love Obama and I think we need him (as VP), I think a couple months of Republican attacks on his inexperience along with effective fearmongering will make enough people uneasy enough that they will vote for McCain. The problem is that Hillary is prevented from going all out negative on Obama at the risk of alienating Dems - not true of McCain. Just wait - all people have to see is acts of terrorism combined with Obama's comments on meeting personally with antisemetic and tyrannical leaders and it is all over for the Dems!

I find it interesting that most everyone on the Round Table, including both Georges, Donna Brazile and Cokie Roberts, shows a little gender bias in favor of Barack Obama in at least one subtle way. I have observed references to Obama as " Obama" or " Senator Obama" while most of the references to Hillary Clinton have been "Mrs. Clinton" or "Hillary" or "Hillary Clinton." Why not level the playing field? Aren't both candidates senators?

I too find the same in most roundtable discussions "Senator" Hillary Clinton is called "Hillary" while the males are always addressed as Senator!!!!
Another way of the MENS roundtable, they stick a few women in there when they have to. Do you think you are keeping her in her place, so to belittle.
Be very careful..look what happened in Florida!!
All the while shoving Senator Obama down the country's throats.
GMA/ABC is the worst for this obvious action.

As a South Carolinian, I am bemused by the mention of our governor's, Mark Sanford, name as a possible vice presidential candidate. May I suggest that the Republican nominee take a hard look at the governor's State of the State addresses. They are sophomoric and soporific. Next, it might behoove the nominee to find articles picturing Sanford with two innocent piglets. He took them to the State House as a comment on "pork." A hokey folksy moment from a wealthy man who grew up in a privilidged environment. Finally,does fiscal conservatism mean voting"no" on every spending issue without discernment. I hope not.

I don't find the gender bias in favor of "Senator" Obama "SUBTLE" at all, it is VERY obvious and VERY offensive.

Why does the media rally around the Democrats and Republicans? There are more than 2 parties in this country--let's take a look at some of those also. I personally think that it would be great to see a Ventura type victory (as was done here in MN) in the presidential race to give this country some others to think about rather than just two parties all the time. Hey Ron Paul, how about running as an Independent or something other than Republican? And Tim Pawlenty for VP?--I won't be voting for that ticket!

Yesterday I watched in utter disbelief as Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland, a super delegate, told George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" that he felt the "role of the super delegates" is to make sure that the Democratic Nominee has a chance of winning the Presidential Election. This was in response to George's question asking if Mr. O’Malley felt that the super delegates had an obligation to vote with the people should it come down to that.
Now to me that sounds like he feels that the super delegates are the ones with the brains and understanding necessary to help out the poor misguided American voters who erroneously express their desire for a candidate that is really "unworthy".
Where does anyone get the overinflated self worth to think that the opinions of 800 would override the opinions of 30 or 40 million? This is the same narrow-minded philosophy that has plagued politics for decades and needs to be stopped now.
I am writing an e-mail of objection to Mr. O'Malley and I encourage all of you to do the same.

I believe that it is time to send a message to the super delegates that says, FOLLOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND VOTE THE HE OR SHE WHO HAS THE MOST DELEGATES AND VOTES.
This message should go out loud and clear to the media as well. I am growing weary of having to subtract the super delegate votes to understand the true delegate count voted on by the American people.
So let's raise our voice, beginning today and everyday until we are heard.

Shame on ABC for even letting Tom Delay appear on the program! This man is a symbol of everything wrong with our current govenrment. By allowing him to participate, you have given approval to all that he has done to get himself removed from office - and you have damaged your credibility in the process.

While i agree that Tom Delay is a "bottom feeder" in the integrity department, I find it very telling that the RNC deigned him fit to represent their views on national TV.

why is this blog never up to date?

I can't believe that no one has bothered to talk about Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Christ (www.tucc.org) that web page sounds is racist, it states that "they (blacks) are the chosen people of God" and they are committed to Africa. Please visit that site and see for yourself. I have noticed that they have changed their wording over the last couple of weeks; however, it still states what I said above. I can understand having pride in you race, but a person running or the President of this great country, which is full of diversity should not belong to a church with that kind of beliefs. He is very arrogant in thinking that "blacks" are better than the rest of us. There is one race, the human race!! We are all Gods chosen people! Obama's campaign has the nerve to say that Bill Clinton is racist because his remark about Jessie Jackson in S. Carolina, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, Bill was not being racist when he said that statement, especially since there was nothing racist about it. Bill did a lot for people in all aspects of life, not just white rich people!! My question is why this is not Obama beliefs not focused on more; I think we need to be informed of this kind of thing!!! Also we have a lot of things that need to be fixed in this country, what experience does he bring? Just three years as a Senator, is that enough? NO!! Clinton has well proven experience behind her and I firmly believe she has what this country needs. If Obama is the Democrat on the ballot, I will vote for a Republican for the first time in my life!!

Finally got the chance to watch This Week and was floored by the comment by Sam Donaldson about the lower middle class being full of racists who support Clinton because Obama is black.

I am currently a Clinton supporter of one reason, she explains her plan. She talks about how she will rebuild the US stature, economy and middle class. In detail she lets us know what she will do and how she intends to do it. What has Obama given us but speaches and dreams, which while inspirational they do not put food on my table of fuel in by furnace.
To now have Mr. Donaaldson calling me a racist because I'm not of the affluent middle class and have to live paycheck to paycheck is insulting. How dare I vote against Obama? How dare he assume so much? How dare we not place Sen. Obama under the same mircoscope Sen. Clinton has been under, is that just because he is black and we dare not risk being called racist.
Call me what you will but now that I continue to wait on the meat behind the Obama dream.
