Closing Arguments: Hillary Clinton on the Ballot?

Hillary is electable.
Obama is NOT electable.
DNC,PELOSI,DEAN,REID,KENNEDY,KERRY and
the rest of the losers are responsible
for the outcome in november…….
Democrats are DIVIDED……..
The media supports Obama but the voters
DON’T……
I’m a Hillary voter and I WILL NOT vote
for Obama in november regardless of the
daily media propaganda…….
As a democrat i WILL NOT watch the democratic convention…..
DNC and party leaders MUST be punished
this year for their stupidity…….
Obama is UNFIT FOR COMMANDER IN CHIEF…

Hillary SHOULD be on the ballot at the Convention. It’s a precadent since 1884 showing respect for those who participated. Hillary had more voters than anyone else in history and the people deserve a chance to see her nominated! The SDs need to get with the program and realize that she is a much more viable candidate.
How is it that I hear Dems consistently criticize the Republicans for their corruption and the taking away of individual rights, but when they do it themselves by their own DNC rules, it is acceptable?

ANYBODY besides the socialist Obama. ANYBODY!

Hillary is great, and no doubt, she would wage a strong campaign were she to become the nominee. But the idea that having her more mercurial supporters have a public eruption on the convention floor would allow them to reach “catharsis” are moronic.
Let so review the facts: Fact 1: The nomination belongs to whomever wins the most delegates. Fact 2: The number of delegates Hillary won in the Florida and Michigan primaries is zero. They were unsanctioned primaries and their were no delegates at stake. Fact 3: Obama’s campaign beat Hillary’s in the ground game in a number of smaller states.
So now the only question is if you want John “more-of-the-same” McCain to:
Veto the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
Remove the tax break that encourages employers to give health insurance to their employees.
Appoint Supreme Court Judges who make a point of ignoring justice and the law (as in the Lilly Ledbetter case).
Allow the insurance companies to be regulated by the state of their own choosing. Say hello to all disputes going to industry sponsored “arbitrators”. Say goodbye to all pro-consumer legislation.
Keep us in Iraq for another 7 years (and 3 Trillion Dollars) instead of putting the money into changing our economy to one that uses renewable energy.
Reward the Republican party for the outstanding job they have done in keeping Osama Bin Laden safe in Pakistan and keeping the economy sound.

Of course she should be on the ballot as all MEN in her position have been in the past. To not do so is outright discrimination. Neither candidate has aquired enough “pledged” delegates to be deemed the nominee. In cases like this the Superdelegates must cast their vote for the candidate they feel will be most likely to win the GE. That vote is cast at the Democratic Convention on August 27th, 2008. Until then, we have no nominee. Also, in order for her to be recorded in the history books, she must be on the ballot.

Hillary’s name should be on the November ballot – as an Independent. The Democrats have once again set the stage for what should have been an easy victory and their candidate will slip through the cracks. He flip flops daily and with each passing day McCains chances for victory rise.

Hillary is like a bad cold that you just cant get rid of. It’s time for her to go away and stay gone. She wants the presidency more than she wants to see a democrat in the white house. She is devisive and she knows it. If she was a winner, she would have won. Please Hillary go away.

She has every right to be on the ballot.
If BO thinks that he is a winner, then let him win it. Don’t use the same trick that he knocked Alice Palmer out of the race.
We will not let that happen to Hillary. We will have her name on the ballot.

There have been many battles at the convention. The biggest snafu was when the media (or papers) reported that:
DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN
Problem was, Truman beat Dewey at the convention……..And went on to become one of the greatest Presidents in history.

I think there is insecurity on the obama’s camp about the Sen Clinton. They know that she is qualified and intelligent. Obama would not choose her as a running mate, knowing that she could overshadow him. I voted for Sen Clinton and I am thinking to vote for Mccain. If obama is truly for a good change without prejudice at all, He would extend a warm embrace to the Clintons’, afterall, America had prosperous years under Bill.

The snafu involved the election itself, not the convention!

Hillary Clinton EARNED her name to be placed on the ballot, just like those before her at EVERY democratic convention since 1884! Let the process of casting the votes take place! This “selection” of obama back on May 31st during the Rules & ByLaws meeting broke so many rules, it’s laughable! I could go on and on… but suffice to say there’s a process for nominating the candidates. It’s done at the convention, with a roll-call VOTE. Everyone’s worried about possibly humiliating obama if Hillary’s name is on the ballot? Gimme a break. They’re terrified that maybe – just MAYBE – a few of those “bought” superdelegates may have had a change of heart in the last few weeks (as they watch obamas poll numbers tank), and will actually vote for the BETTER candidate at the convention. Hmmmm… makes ya wonder, doesn’t it?

If the Democrats are serious about winning back the White House then Hillary Clinton needs to be on the top of the ticket. Obama will never win. He has absolutely no chance. He has proven himself to nothing more then an empty suit lying hypocrite. It is either Hillary or McCain.

What idiocy. If Senator Clinton was “telegraphing” an intention to stay away from the Convention or the position that she wouldn’t be Obama’s VP candidate if asked … these same Clinton haters would be squealing that she’s staging a walk-out of her supporters.
The DNC and the “liberal” element of the media made a big mistake — and the state Democratic Parties — and their down-ticket candidates — are having to live with the consequences.
The Obama supporters are not necessarily Democrats. They aren’t here for the Party (or its local and state candidates) beyond Obama’s campaign. If there are any Democrats left in the Party beyond Obama’s campaign, it will be because it is still the Party of the Clintons.

“Has any other candidate in history who came in SECOND in the campaign expected the party’s nominee to allow them time at the convention? This is ridiculous. I think Hillary Clinton is all about herself!” Ummm, Phyllis, YES there was. as Marcelka showed both with Kennedy,FDR, and that great DNC leader, DEAN!! yes, just 4 years ago!!!
results/comparison below:
1980:
Jimmy Carter – 1981 delegates
Ted Kennedy – 1225 delegates
Uncommitted – 122
No way Kennedy could win, but his name was placed in nomination.
2004:
John Kerry: 2192.5 Pledged delegates 381 Superdelegates Total 2573.5
Howard Dean: 114.5 Pledged delegates 53 Superdelegates Total 167.5
Dean had already dropped out with no chance of winning, but his name was placed in nomination.

Hillary has the right to challenge
Obama’s nomination in Denver…..
If you do an independent research
how Obama got more delegates,…you will
change your mind about the whole process.
Obama and his campaign managers
manipulated the caucuses to gain
delegates and the SD endorsed him….
It was an inside job from DNC,DEAN,PELOSI,REID and the rest of
party leaders……
In november I WILL NOT vote for Obama
regardless who’s the VP……

Senator Clinton’s voters insist that she be placed on the ballot. This is not a favor but an accepted part of the convention process — one utilized by Howard Dean himself. No one ever expressed outrage at anyone else for availing themselves of it — only at Hillary, as usual.
Let Obama — in his own words, “get over it.” Senator Clinton is entitled to a roll call by convention rules. 18 million of her supporters are counting on it. I note that the Obama supporters above are clearly unfamiliar with convention protocol. Perhaps cracking a book from time to time would be informative. Oh, I forgot — we’re the uneducated ones.

I was very disappointed at the tactics used by Senator Clinton during the primaries. As a longtime supporter and womanist, it was sad to see the unethical take-no-prisoners strategy used by her and President Clinton. On a more practical level, it was just as disconcerting to see the poor judgement used in developing her organizational and financial strategy. She began the process with all of the advantages and was not successful in outwitting, outplaying or outlasting the survivor, Obama. Had the roles been reversed, it would have been my pleasure to support her. Her supporters are victims of personality politics where their support of her outweighs the very real need to move forward progressive causes…protecting women’s rights, ending an illegal war, re-apportionment of limited resources for education, healthcare, energy, etc. Precedent does NOT mean that any procedure MUST be followed. In this case it rewards bad behavior. Had Senator Clinton withdrawn from the race earlier or continued without the very personal attacks, or her most ardent supporters not displayed such juvenile poor-loser demeaners her name in nomination would not be as repugnant. In a pivotal year, this action opens the door to anarchy and the ultimate defeat of the Democratic candidate because the goal is not to be “heard” but rather to circumvent the terms of the DNC primary cycle and “win”.

I am amazed at how Democrats will rail against Republicans for being “anti democratic” over the 2000 & 2004 elections. Stifling democracy, and the voices of honest voters, Blah-Blah-Blah.
But now the democrats are endorsing “anti democratic” behavior, by allowing Hillary to be excluded from nomination. A measure of respect she earned, whether you like her or not. A measure of respect every other democratic male has gotten and NEVER had to demand!
If all you have to do is dislike someone, to not have to show respect, imagine the kind of world we would live in! Civility and fair play are a necessity in a Democratic society.
Why is this concept so hard for people, living in what is supposed to be a democratic society, to comprehend?
I can assure you, if the DNC were dissallowing obama to be put in for nomination there would be an uproar like none ever before. Imagine if the reason was because they didn’t like him
or because he is black!
Why does our society allow and accept sexism and not racism? What is the differance?
Please dont answer with “Because she is Hillary Clinton” I will refer you back to my statment about, “if all we have to do, is dislike someone, to no longer have to show respect, what a jacked up world we would live in.”
The easiest way to lose your rights, is to ignore the abuse of others rights, when it doesn’t suit your agenda!
Hillary ’08
PUMA

I’d like to make one small correction on the blog above. The second line from the bottom should say–should take a real close look at the democratic process…

If she was running for dog catcher I wouldn’t vote for her. If she ever runs again for anything she had better make sure she doesn’t need anybody but the “blue collar working man” vote to get there. Her whole campaign was an insult to the “blue collar working man” who was characterized as uneducated, unsophisticated, and stupid enough to fall for her rhetoric. The educated, professional. middle and upper class were too smart to vote for her, and the minority and Hispanic voters didn’t count in her campaign. She has been divisive, discriminatory and a poor example of leadership for young people with her continued refusal to accept the fact that she has lost the nomination. I wouldn’t trust her or her husband in the white house again. He still can’t find the mouth to speak up in support of Senator Obama. As for the people who are so infantile they are going to vote for the Republican just because Hillary lost, you need to remember, the “God we Trust” in this country said you reap what you sow. We are already fighting a war we didn’t need to start because of a grown man’s tantrum. I shudder to think what the repercussions will be from this election if Obama loses because Hillary supporters are mad at the rest of us.

Kelly, it is Ms. or Mrs. Blackmon and I will pray for you…

Hillary needs to take the nomination away from the Muslim socialist retard.

Do you really want a person on the ballot who managed her campaign so poorly that she gave away the nomination? Hillary is an idiot , who like wild Bill stupid, thinks she is entitled. I wish the clintons would leave the country and not look back.

Please, Mrs Blackmon… Save your prayers for our country, if obama ever wins the presidency. (and thats a big “if”) McCain will get my vote, if Hillary isn’t on the ballot in November. At least McCain has experience, and a proven track record. What does obama have? Pretty speeches?

Of course she should be nominated. Having worked exceedingly hard in a grueling capaign, Hillary wants to be sure that her historic achievements are registered. BO is in a position to recognize the significance of both her achievement and her contribution. And Democrats need to grow up and stop acting as though BO will disintegrate unless everybody falls down and fawns over him. There are more important things at play here than stage-managing a coronation. His supporters need to stop acting as though he’s a rock star or a savior and start acting as though he’s a man who could be President. And 36 million people would come a lot closer to getting him elected than 18 million ever will.

When is the DNC going to figure out this simple truth: The democratic principle of abiding by the will of the people (who selected Hillary Clinton in the popular vote) is infinitely more sacred than abiding by horrendously unfair party “rules”. I could not in good conscious support a woefully inexperienced candidate who never truly earned the nomination. Some things (like democracy) are worth fighting for, even if it is painful.

I thought this was what the conventions were for. For the delegates to chose their nominees. If it’s already a done deal, and we do not need to follow any previous protocol, what is the purpose of the convention. Did I miss something? Was Kennedy’s name on the ballot, was Dean’s name on the ballot, was Carter’s name on the ballot, was there even just one name on a ballot? Oh yeah, In Illinois, it seems that is common practice. Obama is not used to having any other names on the ballot with him.

Dear Obama supporters,
Could you kindly relay a message to your candidate and ask him to PLEASE stop bombarding those of us who WERE DNC members and are Hillary Clinton supporters with requests for funds. I am sure that the head of UBS North America, Exxon George Soros (who made a fortune on Haliburton stock but talks a big anti war game) and his other corporate sponsors have more than enough resources to fund his campaign.
And by the way Pat, I think you meant “sore”

It’s a good way to get Obama to put her on his ticket as V.P. to avoid the possibility of her name going into nomination.

The comments from Hillary supporters here are surreal! What planet are they living on? Hillary first turned me off and many others that I know when she such poor judgement when she signed on to Bush’s war. Then her campaign was so poorly run compared to Obama’s. Toward the end of the campaign she showed a lack of integrity and honesty when she tried to change the rules and have Florida and Michigan counted. She said things about Obama that showed more of an interest in her own needs than the needs of the party. She really took the low road when it looked like she wasn’t winning. She is really of the past where Obama is about the future. She is about Dynasty and entitlement where Obama is about Democracy and following the rules of the party and winning legitimately and fairly. Hillary has embarrassed herself over and over again with her outrageous behavior. Republicans would love to run against her since it would energize THEIR party but I don’t think there is any way she could win the election because MOST Democrats would be totally turned off and depressed and would not turn out for her. It would be a pyrrhic victory for all these Hillary nuts. She might be able to steal the nomination but she would fail miserably in the election. These people that make an individual more important than the party are not true Democrats anyway– they are just a cult of personality.

From some of the comments here, it looks like Bill wants to play another mulligan–although this time it’s for Hillary.

What is so unusual about the candidate who “lost” going on the ballot?
Why are so many people afraid of her? And why treat her so differently than others…shell I say “men”? Ask yourself that question.
And in this case she won the popular vote….and Obama won with Caucus and DNC cheating. History will make note of this.
Truly pathetic.

hi everyone…been awhile. an election is what it is…an election. let democracy rule…freedom of speech, expression, etc. being a hillary supporter, and a true dem to the word, let the process begin. if the 18 million voices march begins for her….then let their voices be heard. the dnc is a bunch of hypocrits and idiots anyway….the voices of over 18 million people cannot be ignored….go hillary, our only hope left to lead this country to peace and prosperity from the bush mess we have been in for over the last years…

Unless I’m remiss, I do not recall a Democratic National Convention where the delegates were NOT permitted to vote as they were nominated to do so in their respective state convention. Even in the national convention- they still could change their minds! Yes, Senator Obama’s team was very effective in utilizing every outlet to generate more votes within the caucus (intimidation or otherwise), as well as the Obama’s Axelrod who owns a media corporation that has helped to sway public opinion: http://www.nbc4.com/news/15616529/detail.html Until there is a ‘winner takes all’ system (easier to declare a winner) or a removal of the caucus system (no caucuses are in the general election!), this same controversy can occur in the future. Ladies and Gentlemen, we still have the conventions! All votes are to be counted at that time. If the SuperDelegates still wish to back their Manchurian Democratic Candidate, fine. The Republican National Convention can ‘fire’ their presumptive nominee as well if they are not pleased with the way his campaign has gone. BTW, Senator Obama mentioned to the DNC that he wants all of the FL and MI delegates to be seated; clearly he’s aware that Florida’s Dems. did not vote to move the primary forward; perhaps he’s extending the ‘olive branch’ to MI as well? If so, then FL and MI should exercise their right and vote as they wish. In my lifetime, I’ve never heard of being informed that we have a nominee prior to the convention. And, off subject, I’ve never seen a candidate take so many vacations while running for the presidency (and I thought Bush had too many vacations!). I think part of the vacation includes reprogramming his brain with new strategies…Sigh! In seriousness, please review the following link for information about the democratic race (with lots of references): http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/2008Election.html . Good night!

dear Carlasue “go hillary, our only hope left to lead this country to peace and prosperity from the bush mess we have been in for over the last years…”
You have just taken stupid to an entirely new level. I say that Americas only hope is a woman who has been humiliated by Wild Bill D i ck slinger so many time and stay with him for her own political ambition, a woman who managed her canpaign so poorly that she ended up 20 million in debt, a woman who had such bad control of her own staff that they embarrassed her or walked out or were fired (shall I go on?) is Americas ONLY hope? You are pathetic. There are talented , intelligent, better qualified women in this country who are much better suited to the task. If only we could get one of them to lower their standards and run for office.

Stop boasting that you voted for Hillary Clinton and now you are voting for John McCain. It only shows how stupid you can be. You look at personality not the quality!

You are laughable Ms Bluegrass! You think the world revolves around Hillary, you do not see any other. You think Hillary is the greatest and she will easily beat John McCain, when she didn’t even win the primaries. How sad that you cannot see the horizon. Your vision is so limited, you cannot see beyond what you want to see.

Thanks Redwolf for the following numbers:

Reading these anti-Hillary rants brings me back to the ugly primary days. Do these people really believe that insulting the candidate that 18 million of us voted for is the way to get us to fall in line behind ‘BackTrackObama’?
They’re delusional if they think this guy can win without us – and he won’t because he doesn’t have our support.

dear pissed american again…i am too, am upset if you will as the way things are in this country right now, and over the last eight years…god help us all. we all need roofs over our heads, a job, a meal on the table and gas int the tank, and when winter comes, a place to stay warm.
me, pissed american, is just a middle class, lunch box toting fool that will give the shirt off my back for anyone that needs help.
my dream, and i have lived it sir, is to host a family in need of a thanksgiving dinner. i did it, and i cried doing it…..have you ever done anything like that….how dare you condemn me..

There are a lot of Obama people using the blog names of many Hillary supporters to bash Hillary. This kind of psychology is not going to work and in fact makes Obama and his supporters look even worse. Why would I ever be with people of this type of mentality. It is immature and childish.
If Obama loses, it will not be because of Hillary. It will be because of the actions of his supporters and his own inability to have a clear focus on the issues. Obama has been the divisive one by throwing out the race card and race baiting. Just because Hillary has a lot of support does not make her divisive. Also, Hillary supporter’s come from all walks of life, young or old, male or female, educated and noneducated, and there are many, many, of us who will not (no matter what Hillary says or does) support Obama. You have to understand that we have learned to think for ourselves. We have learned that the news is biased. We do not want a leader who can’t make decisions or a leader that won’t allow us to make ours. To the Obama people here who used blog names “Kelly” and “Sojourner for Truth” of Hillary supporters and wrote comments against Hillary under them, YOU are part of the division,,,YOU are part of the reason why we will never support Obama.

carlasue I am right here. I grew up hungry and poor and have gone with out a great deal to raise my own family. Sadly our country is in BAD shape and if you want some of the reasons look at a democrat controlled congress with a 9% approval rating (the absolute lowest in history) Yes Bush is an idiot, but, if you really think he is in charge that puts you in his league. The president is a figurehead / mouth piece for congress and business. Hillary is for Hillary and NOBODY ELSE and to think otherwise is stupid.

Now that we’ve gone this far, what in the world has how poor we grew up or what we have personally done with our live hav eto do with hillarys ability to run the country or deserve to? SHE LOST , it was her own devisive and lying nature , inabilty to organize, run and fund a successful campaign that brought her down (nobdy to blame but herself). BTW: what cinched it for me was her cr ap about being under fire. I spent well over a year in viet nam and resent the line of shiit she tried to use to win sympathy out of desp[aration. It is that kind of nasty underhanded tactic that turned votes against her.

hi pissed american.. i am back.. ok i see some of what you are saying…really i do. i didn’t apprecriate the sniper fire either, nor do i appreciate the inexperience of obama….or the rev writght or ayers, or rattso…
but please understand this…in no way in hellllllll will i vote for mc bush. no way no how no way.
i like talking to you. you are cool. even tho we agree to disagreee… go dems.

Of course she should be on the ballot. It’s the democratic way, isn’t it? Oh, I forgot, our elections are not really about the voters anymore. They’re all about the media’s choice.
All this hullaballoo is being created by the media to allow them and the DNC insiders to blame Clinton when Obama loses in the fall. He never had a chance and they need a scapegoat.

goood nite all and god bless our great country and all those who fought for our freedom, especially my late father….i love you all, regardless of choice…

Of course she should be on the ballot! In 1988, when Dukakis was the nominee, Jesse Jackson carried his battle all the way to the convention (even though he trailed Dukakis by some 1400 delegates) because he wanted to be sure the interests of blacks and other minorities would be heard and fairly represented on the party platform. Since he came in second, his advisors also made a strong argument that he should be Dukakis’ running mate. Dudkakis refused and chose Bentson, but Jackson was given a major speech at the convention. He spoke for close to an hour, addressing himself predomnantly to the people who had supported his candidacy, and told them his candidacy had not been in vain, and that those labelled as outcast, down-trodden, etc. should henceforth consider themselves as qualified: “When Jesse Jackson’s name is put in nomination, your name is being put into nomination.” He thanked his family, Jimmy Carter, the mayor of Atlanta and others, but never mentioned Dukakis once by name. Perhaps that’s what Obama et al are afraid of, but I don’t think she is more politically savvy than that and understands that even in this day and age, women still aren’t allowed to be as strong-willed, forceful, ambitious, as Jackson was in 1988 — dare I say arrogant?

Hillary’s 18 million + supporters will be paying very close attention to the way that the convention is handled. We do not want a pre-planned, symbolic, and superficial roll call vote. We want a legitimate convention in which Hillary’s name is placed in nomination, and there will be a true vote.
We will not accept some type of phony democratic concoction for “unity’s sake,” indeed we demand true democracy.
The superdelegates have become a joke: backing the candidate who lost their states, and boosting the least electable candidate–making a mockery of their precise roles as superdelegates (to push the one who can actually win). The caucus system has become corrupt, archaic, and useless as well. There are many technical problems with the dem party. Furthermore, democrats in congress have the lowest approval ratings, and Howard Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Brazile, et al are abhored by at least half of the dem party.
A great deal hangs on how the Denver convention is handled–we are already extremely turned off by Obama’s arrogant show of Kinghood at the Mile High football stadium…
Believe me, we will be watching how the Denver convention goes down, and it could determine whether or not many democrats drop the democratic party this year. Believe me, I am sick of the “new” and “changed” dem party and I am not alone–not at all.

The Clintons should have visibility at the convention, if only to please the nostalgia crowd. Despite what they became later in life, you have to grant them that they were once the Party’s torchbearers, and the symbol of high ideals which, alas, eluded them…but are still worth pursuing.
And, by all means, Hillary’s name should be entered into nomination. I think a lot of Dems will be able to set their divisions aside once she is decisively defeated in a clean, transparent vote. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s precisely the “catharsis” she’s been talking about.

I am horrified by the remarks to this argument. There are many many racists who have no problem sharing their views.
I am also saddened by Hillary, but not surprised. If placing her name into nomination is the normal process, let’s get on with it so that Obama will be nominated and it will finally be over.
For those who say they will not vote for Obama, no matter what, shame on you. I’ve lived these last almost 8 years praying for someone to come along who does not have a personal agenda and is not motivated by greed.
So those of you who will vote for McCain, don’t gripe when gas goes to $10.00 a gallon, your children can’t pay for school, your family can’t buy food or homes and we are still in IRAQ forever.
As for me and my house, 4 more years of Bush politics is not an option.

Hillary and Bill are sore losers, emphasis on the word loser.
She thought she was entitled to be president simply because she was married to a former president. She claims she’s a feminist and that seems to be the most anti-feministic premise that I’ve ever heard – “vote for me, my husband was successful?” She never spoke in debates about expanding women’s rights, i.e. equal pay for equal work or the family medical leave act. It’s been Michelle Obama talking about these issues.
I cannot stand her or Bill. It sickens me that I voted for him and rigorously supported him through monica-gate. I can at least take solace that I had the foresight to not vote for her run for senate here in NYC. She’s a disgrace and Bill has single-handedly destroyed his legacy.
And for those supporters who say that they’re voting for McSame instead of Obama, go ahead. You must love being in 2 wars, having $5 a gallon gas, and no jobs. After all, Hillary is basically a republican anyway given that she was the biggest hawk on Iraq, so maybe that’s the way you like it… But hey, at least McInsane and Hillary are ready to lead us into the gutter right from day one.

For you ignorant people who keep erroneously claiming Obama “won” – please turn off your televisions and read a history book.
There is no nominee until the convention. There never has been and there never will be. There has ALWAYS been a roll call – it is NOT something that is “negotiated!” And P.S. Obama is unelectable. McCain was up nationally in two polls last week, down in the swing states and the GOP hasn’t even gotten started. He WILL NOT WIN in November. If this spineless party continues to wring its hands and throw democracy out the window because they think it will unify the voters, they are severely mistaken. It will do just the opposite, Obama will be polling in the 30′s by September 1st.

Of course Senator Clinton should be on the ballot. She is practically neck-and-neck with Obama in delegates. There will be no unity unless Senator Clinton’s name is on the ballot, and delegates are allowed to vote for her, and have their votes counted legitimately. Otherwise you can forget about there being a Democrat in the White House in November.

When is the DNC going to figure out this simple truth: The democratic principle of abiding by the will of the people (who selected Hillary Clinton in the popular vote) is infinitely more sacred than abiding by horrendously unfair party “rules”. I could not in good conscious support a woefully inexperienced candidate who never truly earned the nomination. Some things (like democracy) are worth fighting for, even if it is painful.

She never spoke in debates about expanding women’s rights, i.e. equal pay for equal work or the family medical leave act>>> Funny I remember her talking a lot about these issues. She also wrote a bill that guarantees equal pay for equal work in the Senate. My Senator, Barbara Boxer, wrote back to me when I wrote to her about equal pay for equal work. Her response? She supports a bill authored by SENATOR CLINTON that eradicates pay inequality.

Without a doubt, Hilary needs to have her name on the ballot at the National Convention. She deserves all the votes that were bestowed upon her at the primaries so to withold any votes is just plan un-american. This great country was built on democracy & that is not what she got in the primary tabulatons. She is the clear candicate here as I feel that she is the right person for the job of President of the USA. I wish she would just announce this when she makes her speech on the 2nd night of the convention.

The primary process is a democratic one whereby the person who wins the specified number of delegates becomes the party nominee. Obama was the successful candidate and Clinton failed.
It is now time to move on so that Democrats can prepare for the general election.
