Deal: Clinton’s Name Will Be Placed in Nomination at Dems Convention

Good. Her name should also be submitted for the VP nomination, and she will then become Obama’s VP since many of Obama’s delegates “owe” the Clinton’s their current status in politics.

It would be REALLY funny if Hillary Clinton actually GETS the nomination! Old Man McCain could pack his bags and retire in Arizona. He MIGHT be able to defeat the New Messiah, but he could NOT defeat Hillary Clinton.

Big mistake >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.They willdo ANYTHING to get this mark my word.

tom – there would have been no violation of any “rules,” and now it is not even an issue. Give it up.

Obama!!!!Are you out of your mind? Clinton now has two nights(hers and Bill’s) and you give them this! The Clintons are nothing but thugs trying to steal your show if not even your nomination—careful Mr. O for the Devil still has designs!!!!!

It looks like Obama is about to shoot himself in the foot. But oh well…. it is starting to look like 1968 Chicago once again…

If Hillary steals the nomination, Obama backers in mass will vote Mccain and Hillary will get totally devastated by the vote against her. Don’t give McCain this sure win if ever there was one.

I think it will be fantastic, if Obama gets what he truely deserves, and Ms. Hilary gets the nomination. This is just sweet!

Historically Jock, the party that is the most divided is the party that loses. If there is a split in the Democratic party, and that is what this looks like, I’m pretty sure they’ll be handing McCain the election.

Baby Boy Obama really does not have a choice. Many of us Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama either way (unless he makes her VP) but I am sure this will sway many of them toward Obama. I love how the Obama supporters hate this move…some unity he has inspired. What are they afraid of? If Obama can’t handle the little ‘ol Clintons then he surely cannot handle the job as Commander in Cheif. That is why I am voting for McCain.

its obvious to anyone who truly cares about their children that only Senator Clinton is capable of being the best President for them right now…..such hatred and disrespect for her and her supporters is only meant to disguise guilt over having compromised the best interests of those they love by supporting a lesser candidate (mccain/obama) to take on such overwhelming responsibilities and problems

I am a Republican exicted at the opportunity to vote for Obama……the horrific idea of having Hillary on the ballot is making me think twice about the Democratic Party….not a good decision to put someone as DIVISIVE as Hillary on the ballot…..keep it simple and let us vote for Obama and change….not the same ‘ol same ‘ol of McCain and Clinton

I am not worried about Hillary, I honestly think she is doing everything she can to unify the party, but I am very concerned about her supporters. She needs to do more between the convention to convince her supporters that any kind of floor fight or disrespect of the nominee will not be tolerated.

Once again -no one has been nominated yet. The RULES require a vote.

I have always said that when Hillary merely “suspended” her campaign, that she had an alterior motive. I think we see that being played out. Obama could very well lose the nomination now!
Hillary 08!

I am a strong Obama supporter but this makes me wonder if he is too willing to placate bullies. This is no time, in the state of the world, to be weak. On the other hand, I don’t want an old reactionary (male or female).

This is a big mistake.

maybe Clinton will get the nomination and the Bo could be her VP yeah thats the ticket.

I think Obama went way out on a limb on this one. Shows how much the Clinton’s are addicted to power. Just can’t let go here. who knows how this roll call vote would go. I don’t favor either but this is nuts. Suppose there is a near tie on this vote. This could be very interesting. A night to remember for some or for the democrats, a night to forget.

Will, you are absolutely correct. I am one of those Hillary supporters/contributors who has already decided to vote for McCain, even though I don’t like him very much.

If Hillary where to actually be nominated, delegates are not bound by voters, the Democratic Party would be split and we truely would have the opportunity to have a three party system

“this isn’t over. hillary won’t quit until she gets what she wants…”
Not usually a Clinton defender, nor do I assume any politician is above putting self interests first, at least some of the time, but I really think we can avoid losing any sleep over this.
There’s no way Clinton can still try for the nomination. Even if she isn’t above it, she obviously understands the consequences of such action. It would shred any chance she had of party support in future endeavors. And even if she got the nomination, it wouldn’t be the nomination of anything anyone could consider a major party this time around.
If you think the party is split now, lol, just think through your nightmare scenario to its logical conclusion.
The bigger concern, for those who see the worst motives in Clinton, is the covert things that would be designed to undercut Obama while feigning support for him and the ticket. I doubt this is happening, but if it were, it would look something like what Howard Wolfson was saying earlier this week.

Only 112 Obama superdelegates would have to abstain from the first vote to deny him a first ballot victory. After the first ballot, all delegates are free to vote for whomever they choose, even someone who did not run in the primaries. Gore/Obama ’08, anyone?

Protocol – that’s all it is.
But too much Clinton time is happening at the convention. Bad decision by the DEMS. Boot them out once and for all.

what kind of democracy is this. Do the Clintons own the Democratic party now. There is winner not two whether by one vote or one hundred votes. Why can’t Clintons accept this. They are just treating the public as fools.
Why introduce Chelsa ? To me it sounds like a monarchy?
I used to love Cliontons, not any more. If I see any Clinton’s name then I’m voting for someone else.

Operation chaos continues!!!!

There is going to be a BIG COUP D’ETAT in Denver. Obama and his fans just don’t know it yet………….

If I recall past conventions correctly, all candidates running in the party got nominated, the vote held, and the winner declared; this seems like status quo. The Hillary camp wins the sore loser prize. Fact is, they were not only but they lost. If they’re feeling betrayed by anyone, they should first take a good look in the mirror.

I think this is a REALLY bad idea. She ENDORSED him, and now she wants her name on the ballot? This will only deepen the rifs in the democratic ranks, and possible hurt Obama, maybe enough to cost him the election. I swear if she causes him a loss, I will absolutely trash her and ensure she NEVER gets elected. This election is about saving lives in IRaq, not her or his ego.

Dang, I thought everyone’s voice and vote had been heard. Only in the progressive movement could this statement be made in earnest.

I am a older women and ashamed of what I am witnessing. Sometimes we need to be careful what we wish for. I pray that she gets everything she deserves.

LOSER! She is making a fool of herself.

Yea, Obama graciously agrees after Clinton supporters start getting close to having enough signatures to have it happen. Besides, he was losing alot of support by trying to intimidate all those delegates. I guess he had some push back on his Chicago Politics.
John McCain will not be laughing at many B&%$* beating jokes for at least 10 days. And if Clinton actually wins the nomination, Cindy is going to need another face lift.

For all of the Obama supporters, if your man is so great, then you have nothing to worry about do you? I wonder if Obama is comming back from Hawaii? I wonder if he is kicking himself that he did not want her as his vp. I guess I will be watching the dem convention after all. I sure would like a ticket now.

Regarding comments about Obama’s electabilty…the media is playing us…they report the percentages 47vs45 to make it look like a close race. The FACT is the independent electoral college predictions show Obama with +105 over McCain..not a landslide…but a clear cut, Phelps style victory.
Oh and BTW we don’t need to go negative on McCain, he’s a good guy, it’s just that Obama is much better, he brings high IQ, enthusiasm, and flat out.. he IS a leader.
PUMA people: just like that American gymnist the other day, get over it …she lost

This is Stunning!!! This country is about to vote for an undeserving, inexperienced, self-absorbing,and hypocritical guy like Obama to be President during a time of crisis. For God’s sake!!! Wake up people!!! This democrat sincerely hope that McCain will win.

she is allowed on to help ‘heal those hurt feelings’ well I’m sure glad she isn’t going to get it. We don’t need a leader with feelings that can be hurt by their own failures. ….BUSH IN ’08

“what kind of democracy is this. Do the Clintons own the Democratic party now. There is winner not two whether by one vote or one hundred votes. Why can’t Clintons accept this. They are just treating the public as fools.”
It’s not as if she is just elbowing her way on stage. She did or does have the support of about half of the Democratic party. She does feel a sense of obligation to those voters.

I still think an Obama/Hillary ticket is the winner!

While I’m voting for Senator Obama, I still think both of these candidates should be on the ballot. They’re both great candidates. They both have a lot to offer. Every person should have the right to express their opinion at the convention. I do believe that Senator Obama is the better candidate, but I know that many people also believe Clinton to be very strong. In any case, we should vote fairly. Equality and freedom is the American way.

McCain will trounce either one of them. He has real experience, military experience and legislative experience. Obama and Clinton are empty (pant)suits!

No doubt Obama will find his usual sly way of giving her the finger….it is his CORONATION after all!!!!!
P party
U unity
M my
A arse
The Dem party imploded thanks to Michigan and the Rules Committee…..the lousiest, most incompetent nomibnation in history….Barack Hussein Obama!!!!!!!!!

d by: Rhys – Get over it you Clinton supporters she lost and will lost again!

N Smith – “I think this is a REALLY bad idea. She ENDORSED him, and now she wants her name on the ballot?” – Even though I’m an Obama supporter I disagree. I think her name should be on the ballot and I have enough trust in her supporters that this isn’t a gimmick to start a fight at the convention. If that were to happen McCain would be guaranteed the election and both candidates would be history.

I’m just trying to understand how anyone would believe she would get the AAmerican vote if she stole the nomination. There is just no way…lol

Hey N Smith: 90+% of blacks vote for Obama. That’s not racism? They are voting for him JUST because he is a fellow black.

obama lemmings care more about obama than the party and the country….otherwise, they would be Hillary supporters…

Well as long as Obama is still the nominee and Hillary is not VP. A Clinton on the ticket would be the best thing to happen to McCain since Hillary is able to mobilize the conservative better than McCain can. I don’t see how people honestly think that Hillary would be winning by a landslide if she was the nominee. She’s too polarizing, she can’t win with independents, or even with a lot of the more conservative Blue Dog Democrats.

Not Fooled – “If Clinton wins the nomination..” – pssst, you’re a few months behind….might want to check out the committed delegate count.

just like obama joining and abandoning a church for political survival, anything else is expendable for his supporters, so long as the primary purpose, obama himself, is served well by the action

And… if she was nominated… the violence in the streets will be atrocious. Riots everywhere. Guaranteed.

Maybe the DNC is trying to “X” Obama but can not find an easy way to do it without a backlash for the black community. This may be the best way to do it. Allow Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination with Obama for vote, and maybe Hillary get the nomination! I strongly believe that the DNC is worry about Obama since the new book ‘Obama Nation” has been released. What a change of heart within since the release of the book.

I can’t believe all these losers are really Democrats. Obama didn’t steal anything. He ran a “brilliant” campaign and she ran herself into debt. I have met both Clintons and always admired them. Not anymore — I think they have shown their true colors. Both the Democratic Party and the Clintons need to move on. We are soooo stuck in the past. If McCain wins, the Democrats will only have themselves to blame.

This is why I love Democrats so much. They are just too funny.
They take a simple thing like voting, and manage to turn it into one of the biggest foul-ups ever concieved. And these people think they can effectivley rubn the country? Puhlease, they cant even getting voting down, how the hell can we expect them to deal with REAL problems.

goldmineman – 90% of blacks have always voted for the Democratic candidate, who has always been white.
And no, liking the idea of a President who might understand you better is not racism.

: goldmineman – Your statement is not true. Blacks have supported whites for years and large numbers so why can they support a black man in large number for a chance. This is not racist just on to cast their vote behind someone other then whites. Whites have been running the White House for far too long.

its really sad to hear some disrespect Senator Clinton because it is plainly obvious that such passion against her is a weapon of those who do not have the courage to overcome their own pride for the best interests of their own children

The Kenyan was stopped here, but wait until he gets the whitehouse. We’re gonna see armed guards all over that place and in our airports too. wait! we already have armed guards everywhere.
excuse me, go back to the limbo and your rum drinks america.

When will the Clintons JUST GO AWAY…….this woman was near bottom of her class at Yale Law, FAILED the Washington Bar Exam…….she has been built up by the media. God help us if she returns AGAIN in 2012. Thats why the posturing for the convention – the Clintons want Obama to lose so the Pill can try her “magic” in 20012.

can’t believe how muck of a bad loser the clintons still are, always have been even in arkansas they were always bad losers, look out barack shes gonna sneak in the back door and your out

As you can see from all the posts here, Hillary’s bullying her way into the convention really is unifying.
(dripping with sarcasm)

What a woman? She got them to fold.

of course, when your candidate is content having voted “Present” on so many issues, i guess voting “None of the Above” is par for the course

You mean they are going to actually nominate Barry O and not crown him????
What a joke…

“My job as an Obama supporter is to ignore anything “negative” about him, the swiftboating books, the trash talk, the stupid childish ads, and this Clinton thing.”
Yikes! A true mindless bot.

Hey Blondie,
What if I’m black and voting for McCain??
What do Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards have in common?
None of them will be decorating the oval office! bawahahahahahahahah

Mopy the whale,
If the panel did not “GIVE” Obama the MI delegates he would have been behind.
Pelosi and Dean did their part in keeping Hillary from winning MI and FL. They are both trying to push people to fall in line now. They critisize republican politics and then act just like them.

i am glad that obama has brought many into the fold with his grandiose speeches, but this is not American Idol, and plans and policies will matter A LOT…..the supporters of obama have allowed their enthusiasm for him and his candidacy to overwhelm their more rational sensibilities, and this is to the detriment of our country….mob mentality is not exclusive to acts of violence….

chris
They thought it was safe to take their name off the ballot in Michigan, because Hillary promised that the contest would not count and that she was only leaving her name on for diplomatic reasons.

Most of these discussions continue to resemble drunken disagreements between Packers-Bears fans.

Will: Right On!! This action is to show Obama and his supporters our power.

I finally found a copy of “The Obama Nation”, after searching for it all over the place. Everyone is sold out, Amazon has it on backorder. I drove 30 miles to a Wal Mart to get a copy. When I got there, there were about 25 people waiting in line to get one of 15 books to be put on the shelf. The book distributor said this book is selling faster than the Harry Potter series. I’m telling you, this book will be a a very negative aspect on Obama’s campaign. I don’t see him recovering, especially now with Hillary being able to be nominated on the floor. Afraid it is all over for Barack Obama this year!

I understand why this decision was made but man, Hillary can’t go away.she wont give up. Obama is the nominee.This is all about her not the Democratic party.

This is horrible news. The Party doesn’t need discention, we need UNITY

This is the Happiest Day of my Life!!! Democracy has stepped up and paved the way for Our Nation to truly correct this hugh Mistake. Hillary not only is best qualified but compared to Obama she’s a real blessing that we all can be proud of!!!!! Go America Go!!! Hillary can win if we want her too..all we have to do is unify and make it happen…..Never say Never and step out on Faith and good ole American attitude and we can get this done!! Hillary, the People’s President the Next President of these United States.

I always assumed Clinton backers were intelligent people. After reading some of the blogs, I can see I was wrong. Anyone Hillary backer who would vote to McCain never really wanted Hillary in the first place. Hillary and McCain could not be further apart on the issues. Hillary and Barack agree on just about every issue except he has more charisma and will do more to elevate our country’s image than Hill. You Hillary fanatics are nuts!

Wouldn’t it be nice to know who the V.P. for each candidate would be. I DO NOT feel comfortable voting for someone on the fly. Especially “Barry” (grin)

Well wasn’t it nice thinking we’d actually beat the Republicans this time around?
Thanks to Hillary’s hubris and her supporters whiny victimhood, this one is going down the toilet.
I’ll be at the convention. If she eff’s this up, i will be there to fight. I can’t believe this crap.
Talk about ENTITLEMENT. CRY ME A RIVER.
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

After voting for the Clintons 3 times – I have completely wiped them from any future considerations. These people are Clinton first and to hell with everyone else.
Never again…

glc
We do know as much as possible about Obama. Enough to know that the lies are….well, lies. How does reading more lies tell us anything new?

I think this was an important step for the party in the name of fairness. Ends need to meet and we need to elect a democrat in November. People call this divisive but if Clinton’s supporters were ignored, it would be the same story with different words. Stop the bickering – come together. I have confidence in our party, in Obama, and in Clinton. She deserves this gesture. Lets win in November.
Obama 08.

I think we should just all retire this word “racist” for the next three months. No one seems to know what it means anyway.

anne
Lawyers and footnotes are your proof of authenticity????????????

Ras Charles: I am a Hillary supporter and definitely my vote will go to McCain. I have already registered as a new member of the Black Republican. With John Edwards affair and book release on Obama (Obama Nation), Obama and DNC now need all of Hillary’s supporters. They did not care a couple weeks ago. Go Hillary.

This is good news for Democrats, as it underscores the importance of following the Democratic process.
It actually makes Obama appear more fair, informed and mature than some of his radical supporters.
If they both somehow end up on the tickt, it would be a golden day for the Democratic Party.

Barack Obama has been awesome. At first people said he was too black. And then the blacks said he was not black enough. I suspect that Obama will go down in history as one of the best presidents ever, something this country really needs right now. Obama 2008!!!

Melanie
Sorry, you don’t always get what you want in a democracy. Other people get to vote too.

Hillary will have her name placed in nomination as this is the traditional manner in which we Democarats place our candidates into nomination regardless of their total delegate count and real chances of gainign the nomination. Its about recognizing all of the candidates efforts including cheater Edwards! Im glad that the Obama camp idn’t get away with their grandious coronation ball for Mr. Obama! How i dispise this little man I’m a life long Democrat but this time i will break party line and vote for McCaine allow him one term which I’m certain he’ll screw up somehow. Hillary will be back in 2012 and the mistakes of 2008 will not be repeated and we will finally have a true champion of the poor and under priveledge back in the white house. Thier will not be now or ever a rock star in the white house Obama needs to go back to Chicago and get a job as a producer on the Oprah Winfrey show!

This is the price of the most divisive candidate ever in the history of the Democratic Party: Barack Obama.
The Party has abandonned us and Barack Obama has been the main instrument of division.
Obama is the most divisive man I have ever met.
Why so much resentment and lust?

What arrogance ? It’s clear she’s still in denial about losing. I am so glad she won’t be Obama’s VP and we can get her off the national stage for good !

It only confirms the fact that Hillary is nothing but George Bush in a pants suit!!! The Ego runneth over!!!

Melanie – are you sharing McCain’s wife’s hillybilly herion (oxycotin)? You are one bitter pill. PS Praying to Jesus you don’t have a gun at home.

Reports are that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have agreed to allow her name to be placed in nomination at the Democratic Convention in Denver. It appears that the Democrats are determined to lose a race it should be impossible to lose. Here’s how it’s gonna go down, boyos…
Clinton will lobby those superdelegates who supported her to vote for her in order to stay the course. She will lobby those who supported her but switched to Obama after the primaries to vote for her in order to “give an accurate count for history.” She will lobby those supporting Obama to switch support since “he can’t win, you know.” Her goal will be to keep him from winning on the first ballot, at which time all pledges are dropped and all delegates can vote for whomever they wish. She will promise all that, if she is nominated on the second ballot, she will draft Obama to be her VP.
If this works for her, she will get the democratic nomination. If that happens, Denver will make Chicago in ’68 look like Woodstock…
McCain doesn’t even have to campaign- he just needs to shut up and let the Democrats commit presidential hari-kiri…

Obama and his people are truely idiots for allowing this to happen. Hillary is trying to steal the election. She doesn’t care what stands in her way or how she achieves it. The only way of uniting the democrats is by Obama telling Hillary it’s over and he won the nomination fair and square. Which would have made him a little more presidential. But now, he should be regarded as a weakling.
On the plus side, all this drama should make it easier for Mccain to win. So I suppose we should thank Hillary heh.

Hey if it keeps the lady out of the White House ina any capacity it works for me. My concern is that DNC caves on this issue then what next. She cannot and does not need to be Vice President.

Now the super delgates will have no choice but help huillary become Obama’s vice….Because her supporters will not
stand for nothing but….

gl: This election is not about making history for the first “African American”. Coming from a black person, it about selecting the best candidate that can protect and lead out country. American first and party second.

oh yes he does

OMG…here we go again, those stupid women who cannot understand the word “NO”…She lost, get over it!!!! I cannot believe these women who fought so hard to be recognized as strong, independant, successful women “need” tohave this. How weak you all are? Do you think, if the rolls where reversed, that Obama would be demanding his name be put in? I think not….That’s why he won. Good example to your young girls mothers, “I can whine and get what I want.”

Nooooooo!
Already comming up for excuses for Obama’s lose I see. Obama can’t be responsible for anything.
His religous affiliations to extremists.
His business affiliations with criminals.
His political affiliations to extremists.
He is not even responsible for what he is recorded saying.
“Bitter, clinging to relegion”
All he has to do is say I didn’t mean that and he is excused.
Excuse after excuse. Seems like he is a highschool or college student not a world leader.

One thing that’s not being brought up (yet) is the pressure that’s going to be put on Obama to nominate a woman as VP. Hillary can’t win the nomination, but if she wants to, she could bring up the whole Michigan-Florida mess again and see to it that Obama loses the election and loses badly.
Also, if Obama loses the election, you can bet that the rules are going to be changed to remove Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina as the chosen first primaries and caucus and replace it with a rotating system. The votes from Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina count at the Democratic convention, but the votes from Michigan and Florida don’t. Considering the size of those 2 states versus the other 3, Pelosi is going to need to make some major deals with Florida and Michigan representatives to keep them content and well-behaved in the next 2 years.

Michelle Obama’s speaking role at the Democrat convention should be more of a concern than Hillary’s presentation. In spite of her previous well-publicized radical associations; and, her multiple attempts to trash our Nation, the Democrats have chosen to have Michelle Obama to be a featured speaker at their Denver Convention. It is a foregone conclusion that the Obama handlers will have Michelle chain-locked to the teleprompter with their carefully scripted commentary so as to obscure the prospective 1st lady’s deeply angry disposition towards America. What a tragic example for our children; what a disastrous blow to societal cohesion at home; what a disconcerting message to our friends and allies; and, what a comforting message to our fanatical opponents abroad; to see a woman who has expressed her beliefs that: “our souls are broken in this nation”; “blacks must join in solidarity to combat a white oppressor”; “we’re a country that is just downright mean.”; “We’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents.”; “America is guided by fear, and getting worse all the time.”; and, laments that she will face, “further integration and/or assimilation into a white culture and social structure”; to have a potential opportunity to secure the White House itself as the platform for her hate-filled dictum. All of this from a woman who has benefited enormously from affirmative actions! Along with her husband’s long-term subversive associations, his immersion in seditious anti-American diatribe; and, his recent proclamation: “I don’t want that (referring to America in its current form) for my little girls.”, has indeed revealed the Obamas as the real-life Manchurian Couple. Greg Neubeck

Murph:
In considering what you said concerning true Christians…..I have a question:
Do you believe someone can be a Christian and still vote for senator Obama over McCain?
The abortion issue since 1973 has had two terms of Reagan; Ford served; two terms of George Bush and 1 term of his father….all Republicans. And abortion is still legal. Do you believe that by continuing voting republicans will ever change that?
What about republicans being less concerned with the poor and down cast?
What about republicans being quick to go to war?

“one reason why obama lemmings are naive: obama’s campaign will soon start to look like john kerry’s and they are nowhere near prepared to withstand with the same attack campaign….”
The MSM, especially CNN and MSNBC, are heavily invested in the chosen one and aren’t going to let their cash cow go down without a fight. The crypt keeper (Larry King) and a stooge from media matters were pummelling Corsi last night. Corsi looked like an angry, bitter troll.

By allowing Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination, she now has some control over the convention. Obama does not control the convention any more. He has to share the format with her. She can bring in her own speakers and change the format. Great job Hillary.

To the McCain supporter that stated “those who voted for Obama have no brains”…do you know anything about McCain? Hero, yes. Intelligent (by any measure), no. I suppose it is opposite day in the world, too….those who have no education are smart, and those with an education are stupid. Is this another “taking pride in ignorance” moment? I think it is. No one is saying a college degree is the pinnacle of intelligence or achievement, but to look down on educated with such contempt only breeds further typecasting of the uneducated. What a wonderful example to set for you children. And I have to ask: what has the Republican Party done for the working poor and middle class that gets this group to invariably vote against their self-interest? Oh, yeah, gays, guns, and bibles. While your family is struggling to put food on the table, at least you’ll have hate to get you by, right?
Oh, and Clinton supporters…what a bunch of losers. You get a massive concession and you are still talking this nonsense? What a joke. You must be in the aforementioned demographic or a women’s lib member who still thinks it’s the 60s. Your support is superfluous. So vote for half-wit McCain; it is only fitting. And I hope you enjoy a 7-2 conservative vote on the Supreme Court for the next generation. You people, McCain, and his supporters deserve each other.

Anybody want to swap lunches? I got a cheese sammich and an apple, I think…

As a Hillary supporter I am really happy that the DNC decided to allow the candidate roll-call to be taken.
That is how democracy works and the Democrats would not be Democrats if this was not done.
I however feel bad because HILLARY WILL LOSE AGAIN and my nightmares will come back.
I thought I had “gotten over it” and had this behind me. Damn. Why is the DNC doing this to me?

Quincy
Actually, it is just the opposite. The whole thing is part of the negotiations, so to get the roll call vote she is more likely to have to give in on something else than to have more “control.”

love this conflict…the democrats are screwed royally….they can’t be serious about running the country…
let them argue….i expect john edwards to prove he was set-up by this campaign aide, no woman in her right mind sleeps with a man without protection unless she WANTS TO GET PREGNENT…..i wonder is paid her to run this slimeball scam? Hillary? i would not put it past her or obama….John Edwards is the clear winner here….come on john wake up and see …YOU WERE SET UP FOR THIS GREAT FALL….PICK YOURSELF UP AND GET CLEAR OF IT BY EXPOSING THE SCAM.
THEN…it’s a clear the path for his independent run for the presidency….and he’ll win…stay tuned folks!
j

New voter.
Obviously a young person using texting words.
Like if Obama don’t win I will be a looser too!
This is not a game of winning and loosing like a ball game.
This is about getting it right for our future not just winning elections.
It’s not like these people are going to change their beliefs because he barly got the nomination, nor should they.
Your attitude is what is wrong with the system. People want to treat it like American Idol instead of getting right people in position to make the right changes.

Obama 46% McCain 43%
Gallup.com
Way to go, McCain!

Wayne – “I plan on voting for Mccain. I’ve been a registered Democrat all my life…” – Wow, another ‘lifelong Democrat’ voting for McCain. So ‘lifelong Democrat’ is now the codeword for Republican (caught you dude!). In any case, no one cares who you’re voting for. Hope that didn’t bruise your ego.

Hillary is a weak pathetic woman who should have divorced her cheating husband years ago.
Barack is a weak pathetic man who should have divorced his rascist pastor years ago.
McCain in ’08!

big surprise, the superior intelligence of Clinton and her supporters seems like arrogance to lesser individuals….

“Who knows if we are really even voting for a democrat? His stance is all over the place lately ranging from Marxist to Reaganomic.”
Whatever it takes to get elected. True agenda to follow.

If someone would take a serious look at Obama’s money trail they might find the information that they need to derail his nomination. We all know that Hillary deserved the nomination but the MEDIA conspired to deny it to her when they refused to print anything unflattering to their Golden Boy during the earlky primaries. The DNC added more fuel to the fire when they obviously praised Obama every chance they got while they demonized Clinton. I hope this Convention is a complete disaster and we have more Obama-Drama for he truly is full of drama !!!

I’m voting for the Dems regardless of who it is. I prefer Hillary.
Hillary won all the Blue states and Obama one the Red states. I think Hillary has a better chance of winning. Obama supporters are the reason Hillary supporters haven’t gotten behind Obama. Why are Obama supports so full of hate? Anyone that hates Hillary hates themselves!

Frank
That’s about where the gallup poll has been for months.

First off I just would like to say I don’t understand anyone who would vote for McCain just because Hillary didn’t win. If you are a democrat you are a DEMOCRAT. Voting for McCain would just be a vote of spite not a sound one, I believe. Anyway, here is what I think is going on. Hillary IS the VP choice and by having her votes counted at the convention, Obama will use that as justification to choose her based on the will of so many voices. The surprise of it would make news for day, catch McCain by surprise and blow him out of the water. They are just smoke screening us now with names like Biden or Bayh or having Hillary speak on night 2 (they could easily change that). As I see it, Obama is just “Biden” his time and trying to “Bayh” us over with a trick. Has anyone else considered this?

I agree with the statement Posted by: Calis | Aug 14, 2008 12:47:03 PM.
You fools are so wrapped up in your “Party” that nothing of substance is even debated.
Symbolism Over Substance.
I fear for my country when intellectual debate is displaced by “My **** can beat up your ****”.
Much like Children playing with firearms.
Remember that the ambitions of people have not changed. History is littered with frilly speech and despicable act of many.
Actions Are More Important Than Verbose Rhetoric.

Tony in Texas – “We know what your racial/ethnic background is. How is everything in the hood?” – That’s one of the most pathetic put downs I’ve ever seen.

In the end, Hillary will pick Obama as a VP running mate and all will be happy! Then Bill can train him to be Pres.

I have a feeling there are ALOT of Republicans shaking in their boots this afternoon. LOL!

She is such a Bitch and Sore Loser!!!

Lynette in Texas: party unity is parted during the primary. VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE AGAINST THE DNC PARTY. SORRY OBAMA!!!

Puma – “Better make it happen or I will vote for McCain and that is a promise!” – Dude, get over yourself. No one cares who you’re voting for.

The resentful Obama does not have cojones. He has been threatened and defeated. The eyes of America are filled with tears. Disgrace !

i will not vote for a black man ! i think black men belong in jail not the WHITEHOUSE . i hope hillary gets the vote , thats the only way i will vote in november !

I propose we do away with the two-party system. I want all congressmen and house representatives FIRED, and American can vote for who they want, not just the ‘lesser of two evils’. The system is BROKEN.

What is the big deal.Every convention they do a roll call. It’s not like it was just created.

Mr. Obama did not appear to be a damn fool, but now I am having my doubts. Letting the Clintons speak is about as smart as choosing Mrs. Clinton to be VP. If she was VP Obama would have to watch his back.

Texas outlaw–Barak and Michelle don’t have the history of narcissism and underhanded-ness that the Clinton’s have, thus they’re hardly comparable.

hillary supporter
No one believes you are a Hillary supporter. That was kind of a pathetic attempt.

BHO strikes again with a weak move. Why not chose her as his VP running mate? The man along is just not ready to be President at this time. Maybe later.

The bloger that said black men should be in jail needs to be shot! You’re not a Hillary supporter your a repug trying to make Hillary supporters look bad! Get a life.

You have to be careful with Obama. He only knows about fake winning utilizing unsubstance and dirty tricks and self portraying himself as the big victim. Enough ! Hillary Clinton is better off.
If Hillary is not the nominee, I am voting for McCain.

Melanie – I’ve read your repetitive negative posts. For years the US Congress has been at odds with the President. Whoever steps into the White House has to heal that divide if America is going to address SERIOUS problems at home: Energy, Health Care, Infrastructure. Obama is not exhibiting “delusion of grandeur” or proving he’s “incapable”. He’s showing how to reach across the aisle, heal wounds, save face, and find ways to build consensus. The Clintons are who they are – he’s working it to his advantage.

She should be VP. That makes her the President of the Senate. She’ll keep them in line…

Poor Frank,
Check this out. Your man is down by almost 7 Points.

“If Obama gets the nom, I’m voting McCain!” If this is the intelligence level of our voting public, I’m leaving.

Scott – “The best choice would be Arnold Swartzennager for president with Tony Blair as his vice-president.” – What about Chuck Norris for President and Arnold Swartzennager for Vice-President?

texas outlaw – Becasue Hilliary thinks her and Bill is suppose to win becasue they are spoiler!

I hope the Obama campaign knows what they are doing. This is like swimming with sharks.

Hilary would sell Chelsea down the river to get what she wants. Her and Bill should move to Russia and hang out with Putin.

From reading these posts, it seems there are more people against Obama than I have ever seen! I’m afraid, if Hillary is not the nominee, then McCain will be President!
BTW, “The Obama Nation” is a good read. You should buy it and invest in the truths about Barack Obama!

If Obama on vacation, if so, who is pulling the rope…..LOL

I do not trust Hillary. This could produce more divisivness. I don’t think it was a wise decision to do this If Hillary were a man, this would never be happening. A man would have conceded and let it go, albeit mpossibly with some lingering bad feelings. I am a W-female so no gender bias here, I just don’t trust her!

.
Since Hillary won MORE THAN 50% of the votes in the primaries, and the Dems claim to support democracy, then she will be the nominee. Right?
And certainly the Dems would not stoop so low as to allow Kerry-like shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, elitist, inexperienced, narcissistic, flip-flopping gas-bag – who is so mentally deficient from extensive drug use he even has to plagiarize his hollow platitudes, to hijack the nomination with fewer votes than Hillary received. Right?

The media keeps saying Hillary supporters will come around. It’s working the other way. The more is known about Obama, the less the Hillary people are supporting him. We all know she is a captive of the party, but we’re not.

I live on the east coast, North Carolina to be exact! I see this happening more each day. The more Obama is vetted, the more people are recanting their support of him. Whats more, with John Edwards and his dispicable escapade, people in N C have, in their minds, locked Edwards to Obama. Now, we feel that Obama knew all along about Edwards and has publicly thrown him under the bus. Sorry, Obama supporters, (and I WAS one at one time), Obama has shown weakness thru his flip flops and pandering here lately. More and more North Carolinians are turning against him as we get closer to November.

Obama is a loser—no doubt about it.
“Sreamin” Dean and the DNC definitely put up the wrong candidate; but they won’t admit it. It’s obvious, the guy cannot break 50%. What a shame–the democratic party really had a chance to win back the WH–if they would have backed a winning candidate. Clinton would have easily won over McCain, it’s that simple.
This election is a real joke.

Reading these blogg white people are the most racist out of any race group. They have some much to lose and they are very angry about Obama being the next President. Watch and see how many of these White nuts go on a shotting spree closing it get to the election.

Soooo much hate in these comments! Let’s be honest – in the end, BHO gets his nomination and HRC gets some time in the spotlight. ALL (at least most) Democrats will rally around the Nominee and work to make sure that we have a filibuster-proof Congress, and a Dem in the White House. Anything else will almost ensure defeat.

chris – “in a country where a fluff piece like American Idol is the top-rated show, why am I so surprised that obama has so many cult-like followers?” – So, you have two candidates with devoted supporters, but the Obama supporters are labled ‘cult-like’. Perhaps you’re not seeing things objectively. This tends to be one of the first things that happens when you join a cult, by the way.

If some of you don’t like Obama fine, but he is the Democratic candidate and your choice will be either McShame or Obama. Hillary is not part of the picture so get over it! the soomer you get over it the better for everyone.

Ok, Obama didn’t want Florida and Michigan to count in the primaries.
The DNC gave Florida and Michigan 1/2 votes.
Obama changed his mind and wants Florida and Michigan to get FULL votes at the convention.
Hillary now has her name in nomination and will take Florida and Michigan at the Convention.
Hillary will come away with more delegates and win the nomination.
Hillary has Obama by the b*lls and will win the Presidency in November.

MVPeach10,
You are a liar.
I am a Hillary supporter and party organizer and the picture you are attempting to paint of Hillary supporters is blatantly false.
Of the Hillary voters who said they will not vote for Obama about 18% were sexist Repug women who crossed over to vote for a woman.
Nice to note that 5% are staying to vote for Obama (about 23% of Hillary voters were crossover Republicans).
So the Dems had a net gain of 5% so Hillary contributed quite a bunch to Obama’s eventual victory in November.

About supposed Clinton supporters who now say they’ll go against her expressed wishes and vote for the guy who will do his best to further curtail women’s rights: I suppose cutting off your nose to spite your face makes it easier to stick your head up your butt.

Happiness is “watching Liberals eat their own”.

If Hillary where to actually be nominated, delegates are not bound by voters, the Democratic Party would be split and we truely would have the opportunity to have a three party system
This is truely a bizzare comment. Is the claim here that the idealogical differences between Obama and Clinton are so stark that a third American political party must exist to account for this? This while the right-wing spectrum of militants, upper-class welfare, big socialized military and defense spending, ultra-conservatives, moral majority, big debt spending and low taxes for the rich and socialized capitalism supporting so-called “small” government advocates, pro-gun AND pro-”life” advocates all form (I’m sure I’ve left out many other parts of this bizzare idealogical spectrum) a collective Republican hive-mind of social and parasitical pariahs that would have no political existence worth mentioning outside of America — that’s clearly one political party?

i think i’m still voting for clinton Just write it in.

The media keeps saying Hillary supporters will come around. It’s working the other way. The more is known about Obama, the less the Hillary people are supporting him. We all know she is a captive of the party, but we’re not.

Maybe there is something about the Obama rumors. Seems that after listening to 20 years of Rev Wright that he wasn’t inculcated into the “message”, he is either “dumb” or telling an outright lie. He and Edwards make a good team.

What the black that will not vote for Obama? I am African American and I am not voting for Obama but I love his wife. There are many black that will not vote for Obama. Man, it is not about the color,

I am SO sick of hearing people talk about Reverand Wright. I grew up in a very strict Southern Baptist church. I attended every Sunday until I was 18. However, I don’t agree with the pastor’s racist, homophobic and altogether exclusionary view on life. I can think for my own, and Obama can too.

humiliated due to a spousal affair,
* One whose first excursion

reform, flopped even with a
Democratic majority in Congress & led
to a GOP sweep in ’94.
* One whose solipsism knows no bounds. * The Military? give me a break!
Her hubby gutted the military
remember the “peace dividend”?)
* Families? What do we need those for?
Marxist doctrine (& Hillary’s Book)
clearly says “It Takes a Village”
Yeah, that’s the ticket!

hillary supporter – Your mother and your whole family belong in jail – you racist big. BIG, BIG, AND BIG. Bring it on you so called Hilliary supporter. I had it up to her with you white haters! Bring it on!

I hate to admit I am a democrat anymore I feel what was done to Hillary Clinton was a slap in the face for all women. I heard Obama speak at the last convention or 2000 and knew there was someone great. I do not like being told because I vote for Hillary I am uneducated while Obama is getting the educated vote. My parents both staunch republicans switched parties to vote for Hillary in the Pa primaries. I don’t like to be told I am a racist because I am not going to vote for Obama…I will if he does pick Hillary , but Dean and Pelosi will stop that I am sure. Our other Senator from Pa Casey is speaking Tuesday night before Hillary…a pro life candidate another slap from the Obama team towards women. Obama is an amazing orator and I don’t want someone in office that will speak above me rather than to the population. The Democrats screamed in 2001 when Bush was declared winner and yet Gore had the popular vote , now we have a sure winner on our hands that has one every major state needed to win an election plus the popular vote and we are going with the junior Senator with the fabulous oratory skills. And as for Mccain I think he just might say F#@K it to his party and bring in someone with a punch that will have people thinking he just may be playing along party lines now but he will go back to the fiery guy he was pre 2000 before the Bush machine humiliated him and his family. And as for the Super Delegates going against who their state voted for SHAME on them come their next election cycle.

It doesn’t surprise me that somehow Hillary managed to make the Democratic Convention ALL ABOUT HER. She and Bill just can’t stand anything LESS than being in the spotlight and are so power hungry, they will do ANYTHING to get what they want. This is what Hillary had planned all along and hooray for her that Obama is stupid enough to go for this deal. What a scum-sucking piece of white trash Hillary is and I say that because that’s what she IS, not because I’m black, because I’m NOT. I’m as white as the driven snow. John Edwards could never be as narcissistic as Hillary is. John Edwards could never be as much of a scum of the earth in morals as Bill Clinton is, yet Bill and Hillary are front and center of this whole convention and Edwards is an outcast for doing the same thing Bill did when he was president. I hope Hillary comes away from that convention embarrassed and rejected like she deserves to be!!

If this country is soo ready for Obama’s change, the why are the polls so close?
Let me guess. It’s Hillary’s fault.
Well, if he is what all of you make him out to be this would not be the case.
I think more and more people are realizing he is not what they thought he was. If he does not listen to the 18million that voted for Hillary, then he is going to have some real problems come November.

F Obama. Unless Clinton is the VP choice I am voting for McCain and I am bringing several friends with me to do the same.

When we last had a Democrat in the White House (Bill Clinton- 1993-2001):
The budget was balanced;
Unemployment was at an all time low;
Fuel cost was 1/3 as much;
The dollar was worth twice as much;
Real wages went up;
Inflation was historically low;
More people were off of welfare than ever before;
More people were elevated to the middle class;
We weren’t fighting wars all over the globe;
And the US had the respect of its Allies for its commitment to human rights.
Happy days are here again!

The King Is Dead.
Long Live the Queen!

It doesn’t matter whether Hillary gets her token honor or not. I wouldn’t vote for a sleaze like Obama if he paid me (which, by the way, isn’t beneath him.) He changes colors (no pun intended) so quickly, even he has to be told which positions he supports and which he doesn’t.

Na, na, nanna boo boo, Hillary’s right behind you (Obama). Better watch out! Gosh, I haven’t bought my popcorn yet. To see the DNC squirm is too funny. They are in trouble. If Obama can’t hold off Hillary, then how the heck can he run against terrorists, rogue nations, Russia and the Republicans? Please, someone get Obama back from Hawaii!

And the suspens continue! I support Obama but what is going on with those fox. I am starting to be tired of this game and if I am tired so for thousands more people.

OH MY GOD!! LET THIS WITCH DIE .. I AM SO SICK OF THE CLINTON FAMILY.. SHE IS SUCH A RACIST .. AND NO I AM NOT BLACK .. I AM WHITE .. GIVE IT UP HILLARY, YOU LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YES, TO A BLACK MAN !!! I KNOW YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IT BUT IT’S TRUE!!

Hillary won’t be able to get the nomination unless something really bad comes out about Obama in the next few weeks (a scandal like Edwards’). Otherwise, no one is going to unseat Obama because all the people who have used racism as the only reason anyone has a problem with Obama, will use it again and the democrats in power are afraid of the issue. However, the smartest thing McCain could do is to nominate a female for his VP if Hillary isn’t the democratic choice. McCain would win for sure.

She will get a smaller number delegate count then what she had coming out of the primaries !!! Obama knows what hes doing… this is simply a symbolic gesture to wipe the tears from the eyes of the Clinton supporters… He just wants to make it known that he beat Hillary a few months ago, and he can beat her now… He can also beat McCain with “Charlie Brown” as a running mate… He does not need Hillary…
Not more needs to be said! I totally agree! Great Statment!

It does not matter if her name is placed into nomination. It does not matter if her name is on the ballot in November, because guess what? McCain will win. Just like Hillarys voters are sore losers, watch and see what all of the Obama supporters will do.
If Hillary cheats McCain ’08!!!!!

The last time Michele Obama’s kitchen burst into flames doing her Voodoo. Be prepared..the stadium will have thousands of Voodoo dolls now. F..ing vulgar witch !!

The Democrat Party is still the party of Bill Clinton until another Democrat is elected to the White House. When we last had a Democrat in the White House (Bill Clinton- 1993-2001):
The budget was balanced;
Unemployment was at an all time low;
Fuel cost was 1/3 as much;
The dollar was worth twice as much;
Real wages went up;
Inflation was historically low;
More people were off of welfare than ever before;
More people were elevated to the middle class;
We weren’t fighting wars all over the globe;
And the US had the respect of its Allies for its commitment to human rights.
Happy days are here again!

Obama and the voters do not know what kind of reptile they are dealing with.
VP? Think again.
Not long before the convention starts, there will be some horrible news released about obama, just like edwards suffered the leaks which drove him out of the VP slot.

Wait and see. For every delegate who votes for HRC, BHO will keep the tally: “racists, racists, racist.” That’s the arrogance of this man – those who are against him can’t be against him because of changing policy, thin veneer of experience, or just plain ignorance. The convention ought to be interesting to watch.

Out of respect Hillary should be placed in nomination. However, those that think this will change anything are being very naive. Do you honestly think the delegates will change their minds and put the party in further turmoil. No they won’t.

Hillary owes nothing to the DNC or Obama. When she makes her speech she should tear him and McCain apart. The vote is the next day. SAVE AMERICA VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

by: DEMO – You can not vote for Hilliary she lose! ha, ha, now move on all ready you nut case!

This is a bad decision. Watch the Clintons pull the rug from underneath Obama. If it happens then i will personally form the Obama-Puma.

I fully expect Obama to admit that he does not have truth on his side every time he refuses to debate McCain.
Yeah, as if.
What a dishonest hack Obama is turning out to be.

And just as predicted, Clinton continues to press for the nomination up to, through and beyond the DNC. Ignore anything the Clintons say and have said about party unity and supporting Obama. Their agenda is self-centered, transparent, and speaks for itself. And once November comes and goes, expect Clinton to start her campaign for the 2012 ballot, just as she started her campaign for this one back in 2000.

chris – You seem obsessed with lemmings. Something you want to tell us?

This has been done at previous conventions but the Obama cheerleaders who know nothing about politics are ENRAGED. Get over it !! Your Bam Bam has nothing to fear because all will be well in the OBAMANATION. He will spread love and cheer and rainbows and lucky charms and rice crispies and moonbeams and sunbeams etc because he is “THE ONE.’ What a friggin joke ! Question is will his terrorist, racist and criminal friends all have fronbt row seats to see their bought and paid for Bam Bam get the nomination ?? Oops..I forgot Oprah takes up the whole front row herself …so give the others the 2nd row. Too too funny… McCain the Electoral college vote is yours…. Cindy would make a better first lady than mad Michelle anyway !!!

The con Obama uses standard democrat double talk:
“I fear no man when I’ve got truth on my side!”
He fears no man W H E N he has Truth on his side. That’s the angle he’ll flip to when he get’s cornered.
Poor Michele. Does he flip flop in bed? I wonder..

To all you delusional voters who think Obama won,just how do you appoint delegates and votes to a man from a state where his name is not on the ballot???It’s called voter fraud.Those delegates are not obliged to vote for him and she can easily win the roll call as she did the popular vote.Giving the FACT that everytime he opens his mouth lately he is making dan qualye look like a rhodes scholar..a little buyer remorse may be coming to the show in Denver real soon.

Steve_NJ – right on. The book “The Obama Nation” is Swift Boat 2. Nasty invective written for the GOP faithful – facts and accuracy are optional. What independent is going to read this muck to determine Obama’s fitness as President? Kinda like digging through a landfill for a change of clean clothes.

Honestly, I will not label Obama a coward just because he refuses to portray himself with what he truly is.
I will say that I do not think that The Truth is part of his language.

Dolores4S
If you mouth off like a despicable human being, people may think you ARE one. Just some basic advice.

From Rhys: “It would be REALLY funny if Hillary Clinton actually GETS the nomination! Old Man McCain could pack his bags and retire in Arizona. He MIGHT be able to defeat the New Messiah, but he could NOT defeat Hillary Clinton.”
What drugs are you on?? It is truly hysterically funny that you Hillary fans (and why you are is beyond me) actual believe she could WIN. Please just make her and Bill go away — and take their arrogance and deceit with them.

”Obama” the afro americams that were for ”Senator Obama to be next president all across america, should take to the streets in protest. Obama was fairly nominated fair and square, Hillary needs to get the Hell over it!!!
I will be the first to be marching and they really don’t what a brunch of angry black people who have notthing left to lose. Blacks are not to be play with right about now! This is not the 60ies.

OK gl, GO GET SOME GRAMMAR LESSONS!

Go Hillary!!! Obama cannot win and many conservatives and independents would vote for her and not him. I hope she upsets the whole convention and makes history!

Ron Paul 2008 – The only candidate with a plan to save the economically ruined nation.

Good grief … what’s it take to get rid of these … these … clintons.

My vote is for the best candidate…strength, self-assurance, strong follow-up; strong on the issues most important to me and I believe for most of this nation – Hilary Clinton.
I like Obama – not convinced he has the experience and strength. His ‘delivery’ often lacks the self-assurance that Hilary has earned.

The problem that I have with Hillary is her supporters. They are clearly sore losers and divisive. Regardless of what the rules are Hillary feels as if she can make her own rules along the way. SHE ran a crappy campaign and SHE could not or would not make the right decisions to win the nomination. SHE scoffed at all of the little states and SHE assumed that SHE was the presumptive nominee!!!! I don’t agree with Obama on making this deal, but I am guessing he is doing this for the sake of unifying the party. After this election I am switching my party affiliation to Independent because the Democrats sure know how to louse something up!!!! This is only happening because Obama is black!!!!! This would have never happened between two white candidates!!!! Racism at it highest levels!!!!!

All of you OBAMA haters have him wrong. He is too moderate for most liberals, a moralist, extremely intelligent, pro free markets, and well researched. To align OBAMA with terrorists is just false, classless and a sign of extreme ignorance or worse. There is a saying I over E. Intellect over emotion. That explains this campaign. Obama is the intellect and McCain is a fear/war monger cold war relic using emotion to get votes. I am an independent and I must say the Republicans have lost touch of reality. I find many of the extreme right blogs speaking from egoic dysfunction. They believe they are right on all issues and everybody else is crazy or there is an international conspiracy that explains it all. Like Obama being a Muslim plant. These are the same charters that predicted Russia would take over America. Get a perspective.

MARK MY WORDS, OBAMA WILL PICK CLINTON,MAYBE EVEN BILL AS THE VP.. I REALLY WOULD LIKE HIM TO PICK BIDEN SO WE CAN GET HIM OUT OF DELAWARE…

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO OPEN TRHEIR EYES? THE CLINTON CLAN IS NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA. THEY ARE SOME OF THE WORLDS BIGGEST CROOKS, AND SOME HOW, THEY CONTINUE TO WORM THEIR WAY INTO THE POLITICAL ARENA. JUST BECAUSE SHE A WOMAN, IS NOT GIVING CREDENCE TO HER ABILITY TO RUN AMERICA.
SHOW ME ONE THING, ONE ITEM OR ONE ISSUE WHERE AMERICA BENIFITED FROM HER ACTIONS. AND AS FOR HER DAUGHTER…. GOOD LUCK?
REMEMER HER POLITICAL AD ON T.V. A WHILE BACK. THE ALARM CLOCK GOES OF, BUT HILLARY IS WIDE AWAKE….WAITING FOR THE CALL? PROOF POSITIVE THAT THE DEVIL DON’T SLEEP!!
WAKE UP AMERICA

You trust mediamatters? Are you kidding me!?

It is the right thing to do, it was an extemely close primary. Neither candidate had the number of delegates needed. How does it look for the DNC and Obama to not allow it? It is truly the first right thing to do whether you hate her or not she deserves to be placed into nomination.

chris…northern mexico???
I guess I can add geography to the list of things you might want to brush up on.
I hope that you are not try to imply that HRC is doing this out of patriotism! She is a vain egoist who can’t stand the fact that she lost her right to sit on the throne. Her PUMAS are even worse – acting like a bunch of petulant children.

Clever media spin. The Democrats found a way to ensure record viewers for the convention. Every night, more suspense, more suprise. Then who wins?
Tune in and find out!
This is Designing Democrats, Season 1.

Throwing away your vote is voting for the lesser of two evils. That is why we have GWB. Real change is voting with principle. Ron Paul – Revolution, A Manifesto. Read how the American Republic should work.

chris – Thanks mate for the explanation, but I already know what a lemming is. I was just wondering about your cult-like obsession with them. Seems a little odd to me, but, hey, to each his or her own!

This infighting among the leftist DNC is not surprising. To a liberal, being elected means getting to RULE over the people;not one of them is going to back down if there is a chance to be GOD for at least 4 years. Conservatives win elections in order to SERVE and PROTECT. Usually conservative candidates make more money in the private sector and take pay cuts to take the job. Many liberal candidates are career politicians looking for a promotion.

Dolores4s: All over the internet is Barry’s Indonesian school records listing him as Barry Soetoro and as an Indonesian citizen texasdarlin(dot)wordpress(dot)com

Obama did NOTHING to clean up HIS CHICAGO- what makes you robots think he will do anything to clean up America ?? Because he chants for change and hope -change How What ?
Many of us are not feeling those butterflies for Bama no more and we have stopped drinking the koolaid. You go Hillary !! Take back the DNC and America !!!

Wow I see this article has brought out the “Hags for Hillary” faction.

Excellent. This is the kind of thing Lincoln did in his efforts to unite warring factions in his time, and he was misunderstood and villified for such actions as well. More and more Obama looks like an heir to Lincoln’s legacy all the time.

Dolore4s where did you learn all that hate? Whoever is elected President will have to work with both Democrats and Republicans in Congress to get things done. Get used to flip flops. Your buddy McCain is the poster boy.

If Hillary accidently gets the nomination because her votes are being counted, will there be a RECOUNT? Surely Obama would not settle for this! I think this is VERY bad idea for the Democrat Party. This is only going to remind people how the Democrat Party is divided. Your party is suppose to come together during the convention, not be reminded that their candidate wasn’t good enough by the majority. BAD IDEA FOR DEMOCRATS, GREAT FOR REPUBLICANS.

May I remind you… [[ "Anyone who voted for me or caucused for me has so much more in common with Sen. Obama than Sen. McCain," Clinton told her cheering audience in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. "Remember who we were fighting for in my campaign."]] Democrats have little to nothing in common with McCain failed ideas. McCain’s policies and war mongering will bankrupt our country.

I so sick of Hillary. If Obama loses, I’m blaming her and Bill.

Boy oh boy oh boy.
Just got this from an insider.
Obama is a Machiavelian politician.
That boy he good.
The only reason the Obama campaign was threatening to pull the candidate roll-call out of the convention was to wrench out a concession from Hillary and they got what they wanted.
Hillary will release her pledged delegates before the vote.
With everything we know about the campaign I can guarantee you that Hillary will get less votes than she got during the primaries. Everyone will go with the winner or at least a substantial portion.
Well, not too “bitter”. Hillary will still have her day. I will be there to cheer her on.
I will also attend Obama’s Convention Speech at the Stadium. Boy am I lucky I got a ticket. The tickets sold out in 24 hours.

chris: “obama doesn’t lead mccain by double digits.”
LOL
You mean: “we’re not losing as badly as we could be”?

this country is in big trouble only if mccain or obama is the next President

“Perspective”, it’s interesting that you call McCain a cold-war relic. Haven’t you been watching the news about this little issue between Russia and Georgia? Putin as an old-world KGB thug who is now the man pulling the strings of his puppet. They’ve successfully split a sovereign country in half and are in the process of overthrowing a democratically elected government. Barack wants to get the U.N. involved, but Russia is on the Security Council, so that will come to nothing. McCain is the one standing up for Georgia. He has called for this to end from day one, while Obama was calling his 600 foreign affairs advisors (including George Clooney) and President Bush was watching lipsyncing and hugging beach volleyball players in China.
What’s going on in Russia and Georgia isn’t some abstract little game, it’s life and death, with Russia the primary dealer in that death. Do you really, really want a resurgent Soviet empire, except one based on the much more successful economic model of capitalism rather than socialism? Do we really want to have Europe held hostage to Russia, who controls the flow of most of their oil and natural gas?
If nothing else convinced me that Obama is the MUCH more dangerous choice, it’s this situation. I don’t want the USSR II to rear its ugly head. I certainly don’t want a President who wants to run to the UN when a veto-holding member acts up.

Opinions differ.

It is a good idea to have Hilary’s name placed at the convention.

The Clintons have b*t*h-slapped the
Democrat party into line for years.
Looks like they’re going to keep right
on doing it. Obamites are shaking in
their boots and sweat is dripping from
furrowed brows…..it’s evident in
the comment threads throughout the net.

Cos, the terrorist boogieman came in and tried to blow up the World Trade Center in the 1990′s and Clinton treated it one way. Guess what? They tried again. Not to mention the marine barracks in 1983, the kobalt towers nor the U.S.S. Cole. Your village idiot went against the terrorists when Clinton didn’t have the guts to. We closed our eyes about Germany and guess what happened. It’s so funny that the Dems elect a guy with 143 days experience and was a community organizer and beat people like Richardson and Bayh. That is baffling to me. Hillary is no better than Obama (not to mention her whitewater, chinagate, travelgate problems). She has no governing experience either. I still think it’s funny that the DNC would think that the Clintons would play by the rules. Come on! Please, these people are ruthless and will stoop to all lows to get what they want. Power.

One thing’s for sure about these blogs….whenever it’s a Hillary/Obama headline….there is fast and furious division, more than any McCain/Obama headline. Tells me more division within this party….spells NO FRICKIN UNITY, as teflon candidate Obama promises.
HELLO PRESIDENT McCAIN OUR 44th PREZ!

Funny, I thought the reason why they decided to do this was because Clinton lost one state to John Edwards and if his lies and love child had been exposed on the campaign trail, she would have been on the list. But there was no mention of Johnny-boy. Hmmm.

If the shoe were on the other foot, they would not have added obama’s name. Hillary is sore loser.

—————————————- I love how Obama supporters presume to know how any other candidate would handle situations Obama faces. Yet you all get so angry that you call names if anyone does that to your candidate. No one can know how she would have handled it. I personally believe she would have put him in nomination because she believes in the democratic process that is just my opinion.

I will be the first to be marching and they really don’t what a brunch of angry black people who have notthing left to lose. Blacks are not to be play with right about now! This is not the 60ies.
_____________________
No affirmative action in the voting booth…. even if he is the nominee. Personally I don’t care if he’s green with purple polka dots, I don’t HAVE to vote for him. He’s not ready or qualified to be president, and it’s NOT because he’s black!

“obama would be a weaker version of jimmy carter and mccain would be a more clueless version of gerald ford….”
That’s an accurate summation.

I’m surprised they didn’t put Osama Bin Laden Or Putin on the ballet.

YIPPEEEE!!!!! Justice will be had. They have read the blog’s, and the people have spoken, the DNC knew that the writing on the wall wasn’t great and they knew that pushing OBAMA down all democrat’s throat’s was going to cost them the election, and it still may. Hilary deserves this, and the DNC is beginning to see that OBAMA is going to be a possible loss cause in the fall. The young people in this country yes have for the first time really stepped up and taken a walk into the world of government politics. They are voting for a candidate they think will change things, the problem is CHANGE is only a word and someone with no experience in a country that is already having crisis is not the way to go. Now I hope when the role call happens that there will be a shock and Hillary will win the nomination instead. Good Luck Hillary!!!!

Women….Obama nor the Dems want Hillarys baggage or Bill Clinton hanging over them. Obama doesn’t have tp accept anything, let alone name her for VP. She’d be a much better Attorney General, which would put her in a great position for 2012 if she wanted.

Hey Tom. Even conservative columnist David Brooks says Republicans are dupes if they think Obama isn’t a clever, experienced politician. And Brooks says that’s not such a bad thing with the likes of Putin. What’s wrong with calling for UN involvement? Fear starts wars.

I wish the Clinton bashers would do a tally of all they have done for their country in service and what Obama has done for his country…..all I see is a lucky black guy (like Ferraro), who has served 143 days in the Senate and as a community organizer got some asbestos removed from a neighborhood building.
REALLY, WHAT HAS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA DONE FOR THE UNITED STATES, EXACTLY?
And don’t even compare his non service to McCain’s FAMILY HISTORY of loving and serving THIS country…..not Kenya, not Indonesia, but THIS flippin country!
GO McCAIN (or Hillary) NEVER OBAMA NEAR THE WH!

It ain’t over ’til the fat ankled woman sings.

Chris-
Pathetic = Clinton(s)
Screw up the elections = if McSame wins in November
White People in Florida = Non-racists, Florida residents, who don’t support Clinton.
There’s your 2nd grade reading lesson.

The attitude of many in the Clinton camp is simply another way of showing their racist attitude by code. Obama does not owe them anything. They did not help Obama to win nor did Obama contribute to their disastrous campaign that is highly negative and totally disfunctional and mismanaged. Obama has got to show he has the strength to be President by standing up to the Clintons. Al Gore and Kerry totally ignored them–that is leadership. Nothing will ever satisfy the Clintons except going back to the White House and they will never be loyal to Obama. Appeasement cannot work with the Clintons. Obama should have been calling the short and telling them to jump camp if that would placate or assuage their hurt pride. Many of them, including the Clintons, will no doubt vote for McCain who they admire. Even now, McCain is working his campaign by the Clinton playbook and enjoying it. The Clintons have betrayed the democratic tradition and their avowed equality mantra. It is all about the Clintons, and racists in their camps are attacking Obama by code and by any other name, pretending Obama is the one at fault. Hypocrites.
Posted by: Dr. Sam | Aug 14, 2008 12:21:29 PM—————————– How the hell do you get racism out of what is the right thing to do. This calling clintons and everyone who questions the process or Obama racists is exactly why I won’t vote for him. I know he will be the nominee that has been pelosi’s plan all along. But I am not voting for anyone who uses the race card when things don’t go there way. It is getting old and it is bullsh*t.

I think what sticks out in my mind is the fact that at one time Clinton lead by 20 – 30% and had a healthy war chest. Obama out organized her, raised more money, virtually came out of nowhere. Clinton’s campaign was poorly thought out and unprepared. She got terrible advice and paid too much for it. But at the end of the day, the one person ultimately responsible for a campaign is the candidate. When things got bad, Clinton went negative. Obama remained respectful in my opinion. So, I don’t understand the anger towards Obama from hardcore Clinton supporters; I think it’s unfounded. Clinton kept her campaign going despite the fact she couldn’t win a delegate majority, adding debt to a campaign already bleeding badly. She lied about sniper fire and the happenings in Tuzla. At the same time, our people in Iraq were at real peril. I think we all know she hawked it up big time when it came to Iraq. She didn’t even read the NIE, but she did vote for war. I can’t comprehend voting for war without reading and analyzing all the data available. I don’t think that represents judgement I find appealing, nor is running a poor campaign. I think most of the ridiculous posts from Hillary supporters voting McCain are trolls or done by a few. Do you think McCain will nominate judges who aren’t total conservatives? Do you think McCain and the GOP represent your values? There’s a real chance to get things back on track with stronger majorities in the house and senate, but we still need a Dem President to ensure success. If Hillary steals this somehow, I’d hold my nose and vote for her even though I’d feel cheated. I’m not particularly fond of Hillary, but a dem is preferential to a Rethuglican, period. If McCain is more experienced, it doesn’t show. Go to the websites and compare the policy statements. McCain is clueless. McCain = more war, that I can tell you. He’s in bed with big oil and the lobbyists just like every other Repugnantcan. I think a vote for McCain is against everyone’s best interests.

The Democrat leaders and liberal media made a HUGE mistake! Obama is a loser! Please give us Hillary back!!!
Hillary 08!!!

Tom
Of course I do not think it should be ignored. I did not say so. I do not expect either candidate to “ignore” it when they get into office.
As for the UN, even McCain said you go to the UN first, to show the world that Russia is uncooperative, and then you go to the next step.

1. Clinton does’t have to have anything on Obama to convince superdelegates to switch- she just needs to have something on enough of the superdelegates, which is a lot easier to have.
2. Kerri, your poli sci lesson is flawed. Conventions no longer nominate candidates- they coronate them, and have since the Democratic Party disaster of 1972. If they were still intended to nominate, why have delegates committed through the primary process?
3. An earlier poster asked why didn’t Clinton divorce her husband and Obama divorce his church? I guess McCain did it the correct way when he did divorce his crippled wife for a beer heiress…
People, if you are just too stupid to think through your posts, then stay off the page. you’re just hurting the candidate of your choice. Leave the chat to the grownups…
Oh, and don’t take any one source seriously, especially books written by people who state that their goal is to “defeat (insert candidate name).” Use your brain, openly consider more than their race, gender, or age, and live up to the hopes the Founding Fathers had for our democracy. it takes an informed electorate to provide a strong free society, and an uninformed one to destroy it.
An independant voter and thinker…

Come on folks,.. for you who wine this is a democracy everyone needs to be heard. Its a good thing that the Hill is put in as a norminee let the people speak. Be proud this is what’s it’s all about.

To Funny! You liberals are a bunch of Clowns.

GMan – right on!

I think Obama was born in Hawaii, so what’s the big question with the birth certificate? I’m more concerned with Obama Sr. having had four wives and 8 kids, being a raging drunk, lost his legs in an accident, still fathered a child after that, but died from an accident while driving drunk at 46. Let’s hope Barry is free of drugs and drink….as we KNOW he can’t seem to give up smoking. People need to educate themselves by reading OBAMA NATION. APPLES NEVER FALL FAR FROM TREES…..and Obama’s family is freaky deeky. He and his mom weren’t even speaking (for 2 years) before she died of ovarian cancer alone in a hospital room. Yeah, Obama is a great family man. We all know MICHELLE keeps him in line….will she get a cabinet position, as she surely runs the show.
Yuck.

Its really sad to see that the selfishness of one person who is only concerned about HERSELF has amounted to. Instead of working to get the Republicans out of office and get this country back on track, someone is working to get HERSELF in office and get the glory. What ever happened to the good of the people? Aren’t government official supposed to serve us and not their own personal interests? This is so sad to see. A party still divided at a time where they need to show memebers of the Democratic Party and the world unity and prove to the skeptics that the Democratic Party can fix the mess that was created over these 8 years that Bush has been in office. It shouldn’t be about gender or race, it shouldn’t be about who gets the most votes, its about who can do the best job. We are supposed to be working together. Not against one another.

GLEN CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW WHAT A GOOD THING MORE FIGHTS BY THE DEMS

Obama caught on in the primaries because Americans are basically pretty superficial. Obama is a product of an advertising, media manipulation which used “change” as its matra, probably one of the greatest shows we have seen in politics. Obama is initially charismatic and pretends to be all things to everyone. The problem is that once you dig beneath the surface, he is a “typical” politician just like all of them, except that he really is inexperienced, not much of a leader and truly doesn’t have very good judgment. He is however a very good actor.

Porkchop
That story has been circulating around the right-wing noise machine for months. And yet somehow no one has ever been able to produce any legeal evidence. Hmmmmm…

Oh for the love of Pete, are you people blind??!
Look at Obama’s crowds, and then look at how he’s doing in the polls against McCain. Do you NOT see a HUGE disparity there? Do you not realize that the reason he has throngs of fans, but scant votes is because…(wait for it)…most of his fans aren’t OLD enough to vote.
Hello?! Anyone home, DNC?!

By this mess, I take it you mean Iraq? Where we had sanctions for how many years, and obstruction by the other Hussein? Where we had no proof that his programs were destroyed?
Regardless of your opinion of the motivation, you certainly cannot be saying that we used the stick on Iraq first, before trying to get them to comply with U.N. sanctions to which they agreed.

Don’t be surprised if Obama “slips” on a banana peel or some strategically spilled glass of water on the steps up to the stage and severs his spine. followed by a piano falling on him from the rafters. followed by the ceiling falling in on him. followed by a lightning strike on the pile of rubble that covers him. Those Clintons are mighty thorough.

The only good thing about this will be if 90% of Hillary’s so-called delegates vote for Obama instead of Hillary. Maybe then she will shut up and go away. It’s more apparent every day that both Clintons are living in an alternate universe and will do anything – including wreck their own party – to gain the presidency. Egos like that belong in wards eating off of plastic plates and forks.

Go to
http://www.barackbook.com/
Then vote Hillary at the convention

Those nasty insults about the clintons will not get her supporters to back him. We all know he will be the nominee. We want the process done. He has not won the nomination yet as neither had enough delegates. She did not drop out she suspended her campaign. Why can’t you Obama supporters stop the name calling of clintons. Even if you hate them can’t you be civilized.

Thanks, Porkchop for the update regarding citizenship of BO. His Kenyan dad was only here two years for a free education, and his mom was quick to leave the U.S. for Indonesia and hubby #2. That alone, turns me off, but to find out there is some legality snag, I can’t believe this wouldn’t be examined before now, and a background check wasn’t done. I’m just grateful we have until Nov. 4th to put B. Hussein under the microscope and there are about 4 books out now, dissecting Obama, since his “handlers” won’t let anyone ask the tough questions.
Someone needs to put out his real birth cert. to stop all the specultion.

Chris – again with the lemmings & Melanie with her over the top biblical bombast – I’ll give you two kids this – you both are passionate, if not a bit ‘off.’
You two might want to consider getting together…bring the lemmings!
As a Democrat, I would prefer to focus on McCain. Obama won – get over it PUMAS – and it is time to move on!
Will somebody buy the Clintons some one-way tickets to ELBA? Hopefully they will stay put!

Obama trying to register and get the inmate vote….can they vote behind bars? That AA demographic should work in his favor.

Rielle wants to speak at the DNC too. She wants to clear her name.

That’s funny, Bluebird. How about Hillary Clinton, El Presidente de Estados Unitos!!!!

i have maintained all along that it is the clinton’s intention to take the nomination away on the convention floor.

“Obama caught on in the primaries because Americans are basically pretty superficial. Obama is a product of an advertising, media manipulation which used “change” as its matra, probably one of the greatest shows we have seen in politics.

A must read for all of Barry’s supporters.

Wow….
It’s amazing at how quick the Libs are to eat their own.
For years all we heard was how wonderful Hillary was. She was the best thing since sliced bread.
And now…well…the very animals that blindly followed Hillary have now turned on her and began to throw stones. And for what? An empty suit that can read a tele-prompter?
tisk, tisk….

I have an idea.
Let’s all hurl insults at each other and the candidates, and this will be a great way to choose the next President of the United States of America!
Or we could talk about the future of our country, if anybody cares about that.

“Obama trying to register and get the inmate vote….can they vote behind bars? That AA demographic should work in his favor.”
Didn’t he fight for equal rights for gang members in Chicago? One time that he took and stand and didn’t vote Present.

KSD…yes, the DNC can probably READ the polls, but do you think a few of us might need to explain it to them?
I really thought that BY NOW, they’d have figured out that, in order to win a damned election, you have to present an electible nominee. C’mon…this ain’t rocket science, folks.

leeLee FOR VP CLINTON/LeeLee 08

What a shame!! Shame on the Clintons!! I have lost what little respect I had left for them. Hillary is such a sore loser! She does not care about the citizens of United States!! She only cares about what she wants and that’s to be President at all cost!! If by some chance Hillary is able to steal the nomination from Obama, I for one will not vote for her! I will not vote in this election if the choice comes down to her and McCain.

No wonder most other countries can’t stand us. We can’t stop hating each other.

It is all a “show” to desperately get the Hillary supporters on board for Obama. Hillary will not pull any punches…she’ll play by the rules, like she did when Mark Penn told her to run against Obama as unAmerican, and they had so much they could have used against BO and she chose not to. If any of you have worked one day more than Hillary in any given governmental area, go ahead and bit–, but please…when people have worked decades in public service and all you do is sit on your a– and blog…please shut up already.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Does Hillary’s plane have to crash before we finally get her out of politics? Enough, already. Just go away.

Carla – Why the animosity towards Hillary? Seriously, I would like to know what you think she did that is so horrible for Americans?

Hey you guys need to remember that there is a margin of error attached to these polls that may be between 3-5%. So what appears to be a 4.6% lead for Obama could actually be even. But – to reiterate what others have said – polls don’t say a whole lot.

Obama’s secured the supderdelegates and they are now ready to play political theater. Shame on them!
Dele
Clinton should do what she promised: To fight. Fight! I want Hillary to win, and if she doesn’t win president, she should do her best to be VP. I want to see it her fight because I cannot believe Dems would not pick her then.

Here we go again with another epsiode of the Clintons. I read an earlier post that stated the super delegates owe the Clintons for giving them a political career. My response, even if that were true, I submit that debt was paid when the Democratic party prevented Bill Clinton from being impeached. Senator Clinton simply had a poor strategy, and a poorly ran campaign. She got off message and went negative when she fell behind, that’s the same strategy John McLame is using now. I voted both times for Bill Clinton and I began the primary season with Hillary as my candidate. It was during the primary season and all the negative and personnel attacks from the Clinton Camp that I switched to Senator Obama. They are basically even with their ideas and thoughts on how to improve this country. I never bought into her time as first lady should count toward presidential experience. I am a black American and I never thought for a second that Bill or Hillary were/are racist. Let’s move beyond the skin color because we are all feeling the pains of George Bush and his corrupt administration

What this means is that Hillary believes that Obama will lose to McCain and that she is already running for 2012. She’s going to make it look as if she’s doing everything she can get Obama elected, but he just wasn’t the right candidate, so that she’ll have the stage all to herself in 2012.

Oh I can’t wait for the real dirt to come out on Obama. What a loser. Anyone that would believe in this guy is nuts. Good for Hillary…..at least she is American.

Annoyed.
Talk to Obama about your posting.
The selfishness of one person?
18million voted for her.
Most I am sure don’t mind her name on the ballot as it should be.
If their should not be more then one on the ballot then there would not be a slot for more then one.
All these Obama supporters whining about our political process because they don’t understand how it works.
Hillary isn’t making the pitch anyway it is her supporters. Supporters are people that make a nomination.
If you want to disagree with them fine, but don’t try to supress what they have a right and obligation to do as American voters. Vote for what you believe in even if it is a voice of decent. Why are people complaining about our political process. Can anyone point out in the constitution where we are all supposed to just fall in line with the presumptive nominee?

All Obama (God’s gift to mankind) had to do to unite the party was pick Hillary as VP. She earned it plain and simple. Hubris kept him from doing this.His arrogance will be his downfall.

This sounds great to me…
If the dems nominate hillary, the repugs will be forced into nominating Ron Paul.
He would wipe the floor with her at any debates. McCain doesn’t have a chance. (he’s not even eligible anyway)

If Hillary plays games and steals the nomination, all the youth votes that the Obama camp got registered with be totally disenfrancised and turned off. I hope Hillary realizes she will never be president. She will never get the votes in any general election! I am White Female over 55!

Jock,
Peace through strength does require more than just strength. Without adequate strength, however, there can be no peace.
The world is full of examples where those with inadequate defenses were laid waste. The dodo is one from the natural world. Kuwait in 1989, Tibet… The only dividend we got from the fall of the Soviet empire was a military too small to handle multi-front conflicts and a populace that forgot that there really are big bad people out there. 9/11 reminded us of the latter. We still haven’t recovered from the former.

Why does puma feel they are the voice of all dems. They certainly don’t speak for me and for millions more like me.

Neither candidate had the delegates required — Obama people are unwilling to admit it. Superdelegates, according to DNC rules do not count until convention. Hillary was bullied out by Pelosi and Dean (the unity BS). It is sad, but if no Hillary then the silent Democrats for McCain will be deciding factor. Consequenctly, Republican President 4 more years.

I am ashamed of most of what I see here. Racism, blatant bias, and prejudice… This is the land of the free, but unfortunately some of us feel that gives us the right to speak unjustly of others. I think Thumper said it best with “If you can’t say somethin’ nice, don’t say nothin’ at all.”
Why does everyone think they know everything?
I am just hopeful that there is a greater percentage of people that will not cater to random gossip and use it as fuel for clearly radical ideas on who to vote for. I’m going to vote for Obama because he’s a figurehead of peace and bringing the U.S. into a global arena, and I agree with more of his stances than I do with McCain’s. The hope is that an administration run by Obama will prevent itself from scorning EVERYTHING that the Republican party stands for just because of our current President (who, by the way, is not stupid or evil, but just got carried on the wings of other people’s bad hypotheses). In truth, most people are neither Republican or Democrat; they are just people.
There are a couple of key issues that I disagree with McCain on, which is what sways my vote. Otherwise, I believe he’s a good guy with good ideals. Our politicians are so often viewed as either heroes or as rotten to the core. They are people, people! A president is very much a puppet, but understand that there are other Americans pulling those strings. People are behind everything, and they have feelings and they want to prosper, and no one wants to usher ill will toward other people for no reason. It’s just that sometimes those reasons can be very self-serving. That’s why we need to elect our politicians to be people that will look out for our best interests.
I’d like to know what makes people think that they can dismiss others as being stupid. Do you know every truth about the candidates? Do you even know all the truths about the candidate you stand behind? If you say you do, you are a liar. The wisest man in the world knows that he knows nothing. Please try to remember that before you go spouting such horrors out of your mouths. Have some class.

Scott…your comment on Hillary dying was scum bag low. You know karma has a way of justice in life. I’d take that statement back dude. Never wish ill will on someone who never did anything to you personally. Dirt bag.

Since we’re on the subject of Tony Rezko…let us not forget that it was Senator Obama who personally recommended Mr. Rezko for the government contract on low income housing in Senator Obama’s very own 13th district. Most of those low income housing units went into foreclosure, while Mr. Rezko continued to fatten Senator Obama’s campaign coffers. The residents of these appalling slums? Predominately african american.
So I’ll ask again…just what the hell has Senator Obama done for the African American community in his OWN 13th district? Answer: not a damned thing. Unless, of course, you count helping his 20 year, slumlord friend defraud them of government funds.
Not a damned thing.

PLAIN SIMPLE. REJECT BARACK OBAMA FOREVER !!
Want the truth ignore what Barack Hussein Obama says and look at his voting record and associations. Actions speak louder then words and Barak’s voting record speaks volumes!
These so called flip flops are nothing but political posturing to make himself appear as a centralist. There is nothing centralist about Barack Hussein Obama; he is an extreme leftwing socialist LIBERAL! Barack and his cheerleaders in the main stream media know he can not win the Presidential election if his voting record is analyzed exposing the true Barack Hussein Obama.

And McCain’s voting record is one of the worst against women. Why would any women vote for someone who doesn’t have their best interest at heart. You guys are strange.

THIS IS A MISTAKE! FORGET PARTY UNITY! THOSE CLINTONS HAD THIS MESS PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN SHE GAVE HER SATURDAY SPEECH AND WAS LATE GETTING THERE. WILL THIS EVER END. AS MUCH AS I WANT OBAMA TO WIN SO I CAN SEE IN MY LIFE TIME A AFRICAN AMERICAN FINALLY BE PRESIDENT HE MAKES A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE SEEN THAT THE CLINTONS TALK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THEIR MOUTH. HOW CAN YOU LET THAT FAMILY STEAL YOUR THUNDER THIS WAS TO BE YOUR MOMENT IN TIME NOW THIS IS ALL THAT GOING TO BE TALKED ABOUT. WHY CANT THOSE CLINTONS JUST SIMPLY GO AWAY!CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER THAT PLEASE

And how will make Hillary’s supporters happy? Just by putting her name in the nominations. Oh boy, we are doomed as a country. We have two idiots running for Pres and one of them has to win.

chris – Step away from the lemmings!

GO OBAMA 08
GO AWAY CLINTONS!

sorry – typo unintentional..

Obama is finding there is a difference between representing the South Side of Chicago and representing the whole country. You might say he isn’t yet prepared to be President. Being raised in Hawaii and Indonesia isn’t the best background to be a President. It might, perhaps, qualify a person to be an advisor to a President.
So now obama has really gotten Potomac fever and he really wants to win. First he threw most of his everyday associates under the bus and now he is willing to throw any of his political positions under the bus. ……what ever it takes to win that prize. Michele is even worse !!!!

It would be REALLY funny if Hillary Clinton actually GETS the nomination! Old Man McCain could pack his bags and retire in Arizona. He MIGHT be able to defeat the New Messiah, but he could NOT defeat Hillary Clinton.

Rhys:
You are truly an idiot. If Hillary steals the nomination from Barry, there is no way in hell she wins. All the Blacks will either stay home or vote for McCain.

It needs to be Obama/Clinton! Undoing a result no matter how unjust the primary was, would keep us in this DIVIDED HOLE. Obama/Clinton would unite the Hillary and Obama halves to equal at least 80-90% of Dems. We will lose the mysogenists, racists and those obesessed with hating the Clintons/Obama, thus uplifting the party. It’s already been said they vote the same. He is black, she is a woman; that is Fireworks History for the Democratic Party; which prides itself in being inclusive and standing up for the people. That is fitting for two groups who have voiced deep discontent with the way our society has treated them. I don’t believe any Democrat would turn down such a ticket. We will practice what we preach while making incredible history. My choice all along was Clinton/Obama, but as is the tradition for women, I’ll accept a Obama/Clinton compromise. I cannot and will not support anything else because of the unjust primary. BTW, no one has ever had to have permission from the nominee, to have a roll call. Deals are the NORM.

This is the rule of the Convention. Obama did not want to follow the rules initially and wanted like Kenyan Politics. Lord Obama was forced to follow the rules.

Wow, Tom. Coupla things: first off, great grammar. Secondly, what does this have to do with Kenyan politics? Seriously, what do you think Obama knows about Kenyan politics? Some of you people are so idiotic. Please, Tom, fer chrissakes, just THINK before you post next time. Ugh!

jmengate – I think the lemmings have Chris’ tongue….
Melanie – i’m pretty sure it’s you who has a wee ‘delusion of grandeaur..why is that?. ‘
Wow this is like some twisted political Gong Show! A few, very few, good threads going on, but mostly comedy of the absurd.

DONT BLAME HILLERY, FOR HER SUPPORTERS BEING LOYAL! BLAME THE DNC DEAN POLOCY AND CO. THEY ARE THE NIT WITS WHO BROUGHT THIS ON!!!!

It is now being reported that, after her name is placed for nomination, that Hillary may release her delegates and vote for Obama herself.
Maybe, before we judge people, we should wait to see what they ACTUALLY do, rather than vilify them for something that YOU think they might do.

Kerri, you might as well vote for McCain. No way will Hill be the nominee. It just won’t happen no matter how many times you click your heels together.

Kerri: The dems could not of picked a WORST pres. candidate.
I think a lot of the smarter ones know it. My family who are staunch union would rather have their arms sawed off before they would vote for a black Marxist radical with a mooslum name.
He will go down in flames!

Rhys
That’s where you’re wrong idiot! See, the Obama supporters would never vote for her which is why she lost in the first place! This is going to be great! She’ll end up with less delegates than she won initially which will be very embarrassing! Save your pipe dream because that’s exactly what this will be!

Let me get this right… Hillary thinks she deserves to be the President of the United States of America because she was endowed with all of the physiological tools needed to be a prostitute? In other words, just because she’s a woman? Isn’t that the EPITOMY or PINNACLE of sexism?? Too bad she had the last name of “Clinton,” or it might have actually worked!

grammar. and Obama has looked like the incompetent rookie he is with energy and Foreign policy blunders.

Ok Melanie, I’ll bite with your numerous cut and paste post. How is Obama an embarrassment to this country.

Brian Levine
Speaking of idiots, explain to me why McCain made this idiotic statement regarding the war in Georgia!
“In the 21st Century, nations don’t invade other nations? What? Does he realize that we’ve invaded Iraq and Afghanistan? Of course not because he’s a joke when it comes to foreign policy

Obviously, the Democratic Party IS NOT BIG ENOUGH for these two with such HUGE EGOs. What a waste. I hope McCain wins.

Obama is much dumber than I ever thought agreeing to this. She and Willy will disrupt this convention. Cheating is the only way a clinton knows how to take anything.

Some of you can diss Obama all you want. But he is the winner and she is the loser. Whether he defeats McCain or not, he still has done better than Hillary. She is toast.

This will not appease us. BO bought the SDs, the caucuses were fraudulent and delegates were awarded to caucuses dispreportionately. The media was biased, BO was given HRCs delegates, and despite all this, HRC won the popular vote. So now after hijacking the nomination they are going to put her name up as a token. What is standard protocal, HRC had to negotiate for. This does not work. McCain it is!

…and what does this say about Obama’s ability to LEAD his party? It appears to me that he’s just a puppet FOR his party, with Hillary still able to pull more than just a few of his strings. I sense that this is just a sign of more embarassments to come in an Obama Administration.
Congress will finally get what it has drooled over getting for a century or more, COMPLETE control over BOTH that Legislative Branch (which the Constitution endowed them with) AND the Executive Branch (which the Constitution forbid them to have).
But then again, what’s the Constitution but a piece of paper?

I don’t get it. All the venom. She lost, based on the numbers…so that should be it. He wasn’t my guy, but the rules are the rules. His stance are not so much different than her stance, so there is no way I could vote Republican. So instead of complaining and name calling…vote for McCain or whoever, if you don’t like who is on the democratic ticket. All this about Kenya politics and out right racist views are just silly. No one can tell you how to vote come November, but you can choose to be a decent human being.

I am FAR from a democrat, but I think that our country’s only hope for right now is to have an election between Hillary and McCain. I want McCain to win, but I’d take Hillary over Obama any day of the week. I truly do hope she has a trick up her sleeve and plays it during the nomination process. I truly hope she does, for our sake!

Guess what? The people who will be exuberantly happy if Hillary is not on the ticket are REPUBLICANS!

Obomas talks out of both sides of his mouth.
He doesn’t have a clue about anything.
He doesn’t listen to what people are saying.
He only listens to what comes out of his own flip flop mouth.
They dont have a chance to say anything.
Even if he did listen to their words, they would in go in one ear and out the other.
keep on lovin’. He is a loser. LOSER LOSER LOSER!

Obama has just walked right into a big old trap. Hillary may have the right to have a roll call vote but anyone with any grace would have released his/her delegates months ago. Then for Obama to allow every Clinton on the stage with two of them giving speeches, I’m wondering about his campaign management. We know Hillary’s was awful but for the Obama camp to give in to all this Clintonism at the convention looks like chaos ahead to me. As I life-long Democrat, I’m ashamed. The party is just a mess this year and the result will probably be another Republican win.

John Schneider – Who care if you white hater Clinton supporters vote for McShame becasue he is more like you anyway. It is you white nuts screaming about not having a job and losing their home and it will continue under the McSahme machine. Most minitory people know how to make it though hards times it is you white nuts that can not and have proved it the other day. Most whites can not deal with living poor so since they nolonger can go on a shopping spree they go on a shotting spree! Voting for 4 more year of Bush I see is hurt the whites the most and becasue of their racist the can not see that they are hurting themself more by voting for McShame!

The momentum was going Hillary’s way. Her supporters should get their voice. She is the one who could beat McCain and these Obama supporters are nuts for thinking otherwise, frankly.

John: He will say anything and do anything to get elected then…voila…He will revert to Liberalism!

Hillfany…are you illiterate or just plain stupid? I just said (above) that I want Hillary on the ticket to run against McCain, b/c she’d be a better president if, God help us, she got elected. I AM A REPUBLICAN!!! GET IT? We want Hillary over Obama for the sake of this country. I hope you can read this and understand english!

They did order HRC a whaaaaaaaambulance! LMAO!!!!!
You crazy crazy HRC supporters are nut jobs! This still won’t make them happy because there is no way they will nominate her. Why should they Obama is up in the polls and is going strong. All Hillary has been doing since she “suspended” her campain is trying to get you crazy supporters to stop being crazy. But this new move won’t work because.. psssssst…. THEY ARE NUT JOBS! And they still don’t get over this florida and Michigan thing.. When HILLARY HERSELF SAID THEY WON”T COUNT. That is of course untill she starts losing. Bunch of cry baby sore losers and we don’t need you.

Sorry, Hilfany! My comments above should have been directed at IRMA, not you!!! Please accept my apologies!

It is about time — These idiotic stupid super delegates need to do some homework on this empty suit before that August convention. He is not fit to be our President and he comes from the cess pool of Chicago politics. Obama has many dirty little secrets and more scandals and hop[efully they all come out before he actually becomes he NOMINEE. All his oratory and chants are masking the real man who has no experience and one who has risen on other peoples coattails and work to get where he is. “Post turtle ” sums it up perfectly. Don’t be fooled by this Pied Piper. Wake up America

Are they going to write her in for co-president too?….ridiculous!

“Y’all need to respect the people choice and go away al ready!” GL, the funny part about democracy is we can and will VOTE NO to bigoted Obama supporters like you. Go Democracy!

Do you think if we stop paying attention they’ll all just go away?

This is not complicated. He made the promise to stay within the system on four different occasions and then broke the promise. He is a new type of politician however, he doesn’t even wait to get into office before breaking his word.

This Obama is absolute poison. His arrogant, condescending demeanor is more than I can stomach. I cant believe that people are not seeing this empty suit for who he is. Lies, broken promises, racist church, radical left associates. Where is the new politics in that? Where is his sound judgment? And the coward wont even debate or participate in a townhall meeting after he said ” he would be happy to have a debate anytime, anywhere with John McCain ” People, please wake up, take a much harder look. There is already enough that he should have been out of this race months ago. This guy will throw you under the bus far faster than he did his pastor of 20 years.

I have been waiting for this moment to come! Go team Obama/Clinton!

What a nonesense people are taking about
no body is talking to take back nomination from Obama, even Clintons!!!
Poor MCBush supportes are out their mind.

And the whole DNC is a bunch of stupid idiots who need to look at the empty suit..
F’in bunch of cry babies! I can’t belileve you guys are old enough to vote! This is the dumbest crap I think I’ve ever seen! I hope hillary goes down again someone dump water on her or something. I kind of agree with PUMA only F*** crazy Hillary supporters!

Obama supporters need not fear Hillary Clinton. Obama used pac money to outspend and buy the super delegates. I predict McCain will win the presidency but the democratic congress will stay intact. One thing is clear on this thread, Obama has not united this country, he has only stirred up the political and racial division. He has proved substance no longer matters to many of the American citizens.

Melanie: you say “screw unity”? So that’s your definition of “core American values”? Surely you must know Hillary’s closet is not empty of skeletons. Same with McCain. You just sound bitter and shrill.

: Laurie – Good because this is what you white people do to my heart everytime you make a fault statement about a black man you hate becasue he is black. There is no other reason to vote for McShame if you are a Dem. but pure hate toward the black race. Most people that state on here that will not vote for Obama are white people so that say it all! I am black person that is not afair to speak my mind about all you white haters. Get over yourself all ready!

The republican red armies are scared!! They are trying to pretend they are Obama’s supporters across the internet to strike the blue soldiers.

Mission – sorry, but I happen to think the biggest threat to our national security is our public debt.
Following the Republican low-tax playbook is just pandering for votes in the near term while even heightening the risk of financial collapse just a few years down the road.

Oh stop your whining Obama supporters. It is fair and square to have her name as nominee.

Dolores4s/chris – “Barack Obama’s brand? “Nowhere man.”" – Haven’t heard that song in awhile. I forget, who wrote that. Was it Paul McCartney or John Lemming?

From reading the other comments, it would seem that Sen. Obama’s supporters feel that they are above the voting process. Perhaps we should just do away with the election all together and make him King for life. I hope I’m not giving away any of there future plans. With all the hate directed toward Sen. Clinton, you’d think they were hate filled Republicans.

Lynnette,
I don’t believe you were a “Dem”, if you honestly believe you were – then I doubt you understood their principals. I don’t see how you can call Obama a liar, cheat, and crook without saying the same about McCain and any other politician.
I imagine you have fallen for the deception propagated by the Republican party.

Who on earth would would want to endure more Clinton deviousness.They are an arrogant lot who have little regard for the American people! Their goal is simply power in order to continue their Clinton dynasty of ego, self indulgence, and plenty of immorality to further embarrass our country.

Mission. I too travel a lot for work around the world. You need to take another look at both economic proposals. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the overall effect of the McCain tax plan would be to reduce federal revenue by more than $5 trillion over 10 years. That’s a lot of revenue loss — enough to pose big problems for the government’s solvency. And where did McCain’s economic policy come from? Phil “Enron” Gramm.

It’s amazing how far some people will go to accommodate one woman’s vanity… Clinton lost, she lost fair and square.
If you want to analyse the loss it was simple – despite her much vaunted experience and all star campaign team she misread the field of play, assuming that a win was inevitable; she was caught unaware and and failed the most important test of leadership of her career – she couldn’t hold her campaign team together. Barack held his nerve, stuck to the plan and trusted his staff.
To Clinton democrats, I promise you that president McCain will have far less sympathy for your issues than president Obama. Quit whining and get on with electing your chosen leader – sore loosers never win.

Lynette where in the world do you get your info from. You are downright scary.

Everyone just calm down – jeez. Clinton is not the first candidate who lost the nomination to put her name in nomination – no one has ever over-turned the delgate winner and Clinton won’t do it this time. She wants her supporters to be heard and then she and Bill Clinton will throw their complete support behind the winner – Barack Obama. This is healthy for the Democratic Party – everyone is heard and we all unite behind the winner. Maybe Hillary will end up being the vice-president and McCain will be running for the hills – because there is no way that the old geezer could beat an Obama/Clinton ticket.

Good question Sam. I realize it was not directed towards me, however, if I answered it, my answer would be Colin Powell. Sadly, not running…respected his family too much to put them through the “race” – which only makes me respect him more.

No sane,Balanced person would want to be
a polatician in this shameful society
of ours.Corruption and influence for sale is the norm. Just look at the red
ink of deficiate spending by both houses
since Clinton was President. Haven’t they proved to be tratiors of americas
future? If it takes a Hillory to call them all to account, SO BE IT !!! The
other two can’t do it.

Is this the words of our new leader. i think not
As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .’we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . ..
As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation–and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.

I am watching the Situation Room and they have reported that Hilliary and her supporters are demanded more and more. This is not the Convention for Hilliary or her supporters. She is edgeing her supporters on to upstage Obama and the media feel the same way!

Why are so many of you against Obama when he and Clinton have the same postions and both support the Democratic platform? You all need to look into your heart and see if the color of Obama’s skin is at the core of your feelings about him and not his political positions or political style. I have a hard time believing that if Hillary Clinton had lost to Joe Biden there would be these kinds of vicious comments about voting for McSame instead of backing the candidate of the party you claim you belong to. If this is not the case then there are alot of Stinking Republicans on this sight. Which is it – Stinking, Roting Republicans or racist, bigots?

jojo, Obama is right. But there is nothing bad about it. We have so many different religions, one is not better than the other. And we are free to practice whatever religion we want. What is wrong with that.

Lynnete, which is it? First you say you used to be a Dem but not anymore, but the last couple of post you say you are a devout democrat.

When is the losing party actually the wining party?? When the candidates are Obama and McCain??? Either one will be a one term President. Look forward to 2013. One step back 2 steps forward

Joe-you are an obvious idiot, why don’t you all read and understand before you make ignorant statements. Th Arkansas chair was an Hillary Clinton Super Delegate, for God Sakes use your brains and do the research before spewing venom, you hateful little creatures.

Women vote for Hillarious because she’s packing a vagina, Blacks vote for Obama because he has high melanin in his epidermis. Is this what America has reduced itself to? What, exactly, is so damned “historic” about an American running for President representing the Democrat Party? NOTHING!!!!
This is a HOLLYWOOD drama, and nothing more. Vote for who you think can actually LEAD this nation for the next 4 years.
Obama has shown that he is NOT a leader of any sort, much less the leader of the most powerful nation on the faceof the planet – he has bowed to the party, and accepted Hillary as an equal (if not superior) in what is supposed to be HIS nomination. He’ll just be a finger puppet for the Congress for the next 4 years, giving Congress complete control of not only the Legislative Branch, but the Executive Branch as well.
Hillarious continues to think SHE leads the Democrats, when in fact, she’s just a moronic Sophomore senator from New York, with VERY, VERY little real experience (sorry, but staring at the ceiling in the White House while good ol’ Bubba get off doesn’t really count as experience).
What an election this will be. And the Dems will be surprised when McCain takes the oath in January? Hardly!!!

One of Hilliary suppoters just stated at the Convention they want Hilliary to get the nomination. This doesn’t sound like united to be it sound like an accident waiting to happen. If this happen, there will be a war right at the convention. Blacks today are not to be played with. Push us if you!

I want a woman president. Or, at least, a woman vice-president. No more boy-boy tickets for me. I don’t trust boys.

Hillary won’t need to release her delegates once she becomes the official nominee! Justice will be served at last. The truth of the popular vote will prevail.
Obama isn’t being gnerous now, nor is he being a gentleman. A gentleman would have conceded his loss to Hillary and not accepted the rigged nominee selection long ago. He’s an immoral, black liberation theologist who is too dangerous to be President.

Pelosi isn’t hiding. Washington always shuts down in August. That is their vacation time, republicans included. So don’t be fooled thinking it’s some sort of plot.
Posted by: eri
okay she isn’t hiding, she is doing a tour promoting her liberal book. But her vacation for the house is five weeks, August is 31 days. More importantly, she dropped the gavel when discussion started on offshore drilling. Is there any more important item on the agenda than that? Since early in Clinton’s presidency, Dems have blocked off shore drilling. Now Pelosi and Obama want to tap the strategic reserves. If the Dems had allowed the drilling years ago, we would not be talking about a potentially disastrous tapping of reserves. Pelosi is a phony leader, perfect for Hillary “shot at in Bosnia” and Obama “buddy of Rezko and Wright” to associate with.

Zeb
Obama won in virtually any way you add it up. So you think he should concede? Sorry, you only get one vote.

early in the primary, I was supporting Hillary, by mid primary, I switched to Obama.
If hillary was to be the pres.nominee, I would support her, just like I am suporting Obama.
I am a proud DEMOCRAT,and I will always vote my party. To all Obama haters, can you also say honestly,that…YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT.
Think about it.
jean pierre

It is one thing to tout your slogan, “Change you can believe in.” But what happens when you change so much that no one knows for sure what the hell you believe in? For Christ’s sake Barack, read your own damn policy paper! You ran on the theme that we cannot win a militay victory in Iraq and promised to have all U.S. forces out of Iraq by December 2009. That’s not my interpretation, it is the policy you signed off on.
OBAMA IS A FAKE !!

No wonder she is not being considered seriously for the #2 spot. She is still hoping for somethign to let her win.

How did it ever get to the point where they are “allowing” Hillary to be voted on anyway? It is in the rules. Every candidate who received delegates is automatically in the first vote. Dean’s name was on the ballot in 2004 even though he only had a piddly 161 delegates. These are the same rules that have been in place for years and years; why now did they try to change them and disallow Hillary from having her delegates cast their vote for her? And why are they trying to censure her delegates who do not support Obama. Is this the democratic party or has it been totally taken over by radicals?

AND NANCY PELOSI CALLING PRESIDENT BUSH A TOTAL FAILURE IS LIKE THE PROVERBIAL KETTLE CALLING THE POT BLACK..
SHE IS AS BIG IF NOT MORE OF A FAILURE AS BUSH. WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?

Melanie
A quick search shows that is the 15th time you copied the same post on this board, and it still doesn’t make any sense. Can you at least proof-read your diatribe, please?

I love how you Hillary supporters think her taking the nomination from Obama is a good thing, or that if that goes down all of the sudden we would have a united party.
African Americans would freaking lose there minds if she was able to walk out of Denver as the nominee. And I know alot of you so called Clinton supporters dont take them serious, but she cant win without there vote.
And what about the young voters who turned out in overwhelming numbers and supported Obama. Do they not count.
Its amazing that some people think there voice is the only one that needs to be heard, its amazing that you are so willing to overlook her many faults during this process, and jump on the blame everyone but Hillary bandwagon.
And youre delusional in thinking that african american voters will forget how the Clintons went out of there way to tear down The 1st sucessful black candiate to make a serious run at the White house if she does decide to run again in 2012.
I hate that Obama is caving in to this pressure, but i understand his reasons. Give the Clintons the much needed spotlight they crave so much, and then once thats done.He’ll be done with them and can move on and prepare for the fight in November.
Sometimes I wish he would have waited to run, and that she would have won, that way he could show her how to bow out in a gracious way. His supporters could show you idiots how to come together in a proper way and unite our party. I doubt we would be acting all me,me,me,mine mine mine, like so many of you whining babies.

This is too funny. So, now they ‘agree’ to put her name up for nomination. If Obama was so inclusive, this wouldn’t be news. Despite ‘official statements’ this continues to show the divisive state of affairs amongst Dems.
Of course, Obama will get the nom. The unofficial stand from the DNC is “We’ll put HRC’s name up for vote, but you guys better NOT vote for her.” The threats have already begun within the ranks of delegates.

am a lifelong democrat- and I have never seen a bigger flip flopper than Obama.
The man’s position is whatever polls well at the time.
Obama has changed his position on everything just since the primary: campaign finance reform, NAFTA, FISA, foreign relations, the timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.
McCain changes his position also- but in response to changing circumstances.
For the first time in 35 years of voting in every election, I am not able to support the nominee of my party. He won not on his merits but by cheating, playing dirty politics, manipulation of public opinion, creating perception of strength, trashing his opponent and playing the race card.

Man, the Republicans with their usual dirty tricks, are taking all the fun out of the blogs. All they do is call names, give false representations and are obviously and desperately trying to keep an Obama/Clinton thing from happening because they would be majorly screwed if the party truly came together. Dems need to stop insulting each other as well, accept and support each other. Obama/Clinton ’08 or sadness all across for DEMS. BTW ClintonsforMcCain is another example of Republican Bull. No Democrat would call McCain “The Right Man.” He’s simply not Obama to those who are sincerely pissed at the primary injustice.

Unfortunately, the “new” Democratic Party still doesn’t get it. Clinton’s supporters are neither “bitterly disppointed” nor do they have “hurt feelings” that must be mollified.
It was the party’s decision to step away from its hithertofore deeply held principles with respect to nondiscrimination, the disenfranchisement of voters, environmental protection and campaign finance reform, among other things, that has caused a rift in the party.
It should be obvious, then, that people who held these principles dear, who believed in them, sacrificed for them and fought for them, have no desire to “unify” with a party that not only doesn’t share their views but actually made deliberate and strategic decisions to abandon them, making it appear that their sincerity and commitment failed to extend beyond their own self-interest.
Some people, amazingly enough, still think those principles are important, and these voters are committed to Clinton because she – unlike Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi – is perceived to not have abandoned them.
As long as the Party and its representatives continue to espouse one thing but do another (and yes, we’re actually smart enough to perceive it!) and as long as the Party and its representatives refuse to recognize this (albeit unattractive) truth and choose instead to cling to and perpetuate this inaccurate, ill- informed, stereotypical and one-dimensional view as to why loyal Democrats have chosen to leave the party and refuse to “unify” with it, no progress is likely to be made.
But certainly WORDS alone will never be sufficient again.

Hillary Clinton was the one who tried to put us on the road to universal health care years ago, only to be shunted by narrow-minded bureaucrats who put corporate interests above the wellbeing of our people. we are a nation of people who don’t go to the doctor until it’s too late, because we cannot afford it anymore. this is not a bloody soccer game. i don’t care if she’s got a puffed up attitude. we need people in office who will help to enact policies that benefit us as a people. Hillary has the right ideas where it counts.

way to keep them in line jock59801!

Mrs. Phoenix
Black people actually get to vote for who they want like everybody else, without you saying “shame on you”. If you don’t like the outcome of elections, what do you want us to do about it? Give you your way anyway?

The LEFT has no candidate in this election.
Obama is the same as McCain.
He’s going to keep us in wars in the middle east for his entire term in office, should he be elected. However, Obama is a hypocrit about it.
Let’s say it straight out. The Left is the party of PEACE. We don’t want more Americans killed in a land war for oil. We want out of Iraq and Afganistan. We don’t want into Iran and Pakistan.
Frankly, Obama is identical to McCain on these issues. He’s going to keep us embroiled in wars and having American troops (people) die for oil.
It’s horrible and a disgrace.
Go foR Hillary Clinton..Let’s keep appealing to the Superdelegates !

OK, all of you who say the nomination should of gone to Hillary:
Prove it. Right here. Right now. Or STFU.
Hint: the popular vote, which she really didn’t win anyway, was meaningless according to the rules that SHE agreed upon.

I love watching the Obamacons squirm and finally realize that Backtrack Obama will not win the election! It’s GREAT! I hope that Hillary comes away with the nomination and defeats McCain…if Hillary is not the nominee, then this Democrat will vote for McCain.
———–Response. Dont you get it? If Hillary were to win the nomination she would win the GE or the GE in 2012. Obama supporters would see her as the reason the Dem lost this election and she would go down in History as the canidate that lost the GE for the Dem’s.
Yes I know there are a bunch of looser republicans ons this blog trying to stir the pot and re hash hard feelings. Comes from listening to your God Rush Pillhead.

I was and still am a Hillary supporter. But Obama will be the nominee. This is nothing more than honoring Hillary and respecting the 18+ million who supported and voted for her.She also deserves respect for her accomplishment.Some of her supporters are still angry and won’t vote for Obama. I believe she is trying to help Obama. Stop looking for something that isn’t there.People are so sinister and hell-bent on trying to create controversy. Is it really that hard to believe Obama and Hillary are unified? Not for me. The media is looking for a story and whipping everyone into a frenzy. Give it a rest. It’s getting old.

This is Freakin hilarious! Clinton will do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING to get elected. This is SOOO obvious! All she has to do is claim that she’s going along, trying to help ‘heal’ the party by casually agreeing to let her name be nominated.
She HAS to know the states will be called in alphabetical order, with the early states going in her favor. She HAS to know that this will in turn help save face for those delegates who may now want to change their mind. She also HAS to know that there are a lot of Edwards delegates who will now want to vote for her rather than look foolish. She HAS to know there are a lot of superdelegates who are nervously wondering why Obama isn’t further ahead in the polls against a mediocre candidate like McCain. And she definitely knows that Delegates can change their vote at any time.
There are a lot fewer candidates now. The vote can be so much different now that there’s only 2 left to choose from and a lot of nervous delegates.
She is going to make a play for the nomination and then claim innocence. She’ll simply say, “Well, if that’s what the party wants, if it’s for the good of the party, then I humbly accept. But in reality she KNOWS it’s coming.
Obama is TOO NAIVE TO SEE THIS COMING!!! If he has this kind of lack of judgement now, what kind of judgement will he have as commander in chief???

Hey Democrats, here’s an idea. Drop both Obambi and Shrillary. YOU guys take McCain, and we Republicans will start over and find a real conservative to run on our ticket!

For those of you who claim to be republicans, and are voting for obama…
Don’t claim to be republican because obama is probably as far left on the issues as can go. He is only starting to lean center to sway the conservative vote away from McCain.
IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN… VOTE THAT WAY!

DemocratNoMore2
Ann Coulter?????
Why don’t you just admit that you were never a Democrat. It’s Ok. You can come out of the closet. We’ll be nice.

This will indeed show how “historically” mentally ill the creepy Clintons are. The racist, women abusing, creepy Clintons had better soak up all they can, because they are now through. No democratic party official will ever support them again. Probably a good thing.

I think these “PUMA” people are just upset that they won’t have anything to protest anymore.

It would be a big mistake not to put Clinton on the ballot. It is… after all… a democracy. Let’s suppose that Clinton gets 25% of the convention vote. That would mean that around 50% of her support was hard core and just wouldn’t follow her lead in voting for Obama. Out of that group, with human nature being what it is…if 60% of them ultimately vote for Obama (after being able to officially register their dissent) in the general election, that leaves about 10% who haven’t voted for Obama… and most likely wouldn’t be voting for McCain because his policies are so counter to Democrat and Clinton policies. Much better to increase the likelihood of a significant part of the hard core group voting Democrat in the fall. It’s a big old complex situation… and Obama… once again… is coolly making a good choice. He’s definitely the right politician for our times because in addition to being an idealist and a strong believer in the fairness principle, he is a fighter and a very effective pragmatist.

Obama supporters please post your comments in Spanish.

These posts are both truly hilarious and pathetic at the same time. Obama’s camp is accused of fear mongering when in reality that’s what both McCain’s and Clinton’s campaigns were based on.
And for those defiant, (and in denial) Clinton supporters who insist they’ll vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee, then please don’t you dare complain when he appoints more conservative Justices to the Supreme court, and you end up getting your abortions in back alleys when they become illegal.
Obama wasn’t pushed on anyone by the media. He inspired a grass-roots effort that caught the media’s attention.
But…stay in denial. Just like most of you probably have during the past 2 years since the recession/housing crisis started.
Whoever the next president is, he’ll have a huge disaster to clean up after what Hoover, I mean Bush has done to this country.

I didn’t know Bea Arthur posted on this blog!

Miki: Bill Clinton exposed himself to the Arkansas subordinate employee who brought the suit in which creepy Bill Clinton lied under oath that he was not having an affair with Monica Lewinski. You may not call that abusing women – give me another term for it. We know that they think they own black America and get furious if one African American steps out of line – Clyburn comes to mind.

I think Clinton could just win the roll call vote! Specially if Michigan and Florida are allowed full votes. I think a lot of delegates now have doubts about Obama beating McCain. They’re right! If that happens, all hell will break loose! Clinton may become the candidate, but this debacle will split the Dems like nothing else. McCain will stroll to victory in November, with a lot of Obama supporters either not voting or supporting John S. Assume now for a moment, that she narrowly loses the roll call. Obama becomes candidate but many Clinton supporters will be incensed, no matter how conciliatory she is, and they won’t support Obama. The closer the vote, the more likely this is. I think the Dem convention will be a winner for McCain either way!

I am assuming that the creepy Clintons will release a tape of either a sexual affair like they released on Edwards or they will release a tape with un-American content with Obama in it. They will do this a few days before the convention so that no response cane be put together to defuse or disprove it.
I think the creepy Clintons have totally lost it this time as they have exposed themselves to all of America – interesting term when one thinks of creepy Bill and how Hillary enabled all of that by sicking th elikes of Pelicano on women who complained.

What about those Edwards Delegates? Can they change things up now that his status has changed.

I’m an Obama supporter. I am not nervous that this agreement will hurt Obama. It’s standard procedure.
What is very troubling is that as much as I was caught up in the primary contests, at the end of the day, my choice was either Clinton or Obama.
If you supported Hillary and won’t support Obama, then you weren’t looking at anything other than the fact that she was a woman or you didn’t want a black president.
If you supported Obama and wouldn’t have supported Clinton, you either didn’t want a woman as president, or you only were voting for him because he was black.
This isn’t the basic…”you are a racist if you don’t vote for Obama” argument.
If you take our race and sex, their take on many issues is the same. It is baffling to me that anybody would vote for McCain if you were strongly supporting a democratic candidate in the primaries.
Look at the issues. Think a little bit. This isn’t a vote for class president. If you truly believed in the issues Clinton stood for, and the solutions she presented….voting for McCain doesn’t make much sense.
I’d like to think that McCain supporters are the ones saying they were Hillary supporters in order to create some sort of buzz for this idea that Hillary supporters are jumping to McCain.
I really hope Americans aren’t that stupid.

She is just like the shark in ‘Jaws’. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there is her fin, sticking up out of the water. So happy when she just goes back to the Senate and does something truly useful there.

I am a “used to be” democrat since the DNC decided to stack the deck and shove this empty suit down our throat..and now Pelosi is calling Hillary supporters bad mannered people! I guess Pelosi has been getting a lot of mail from disenfranchised Hillary supporters! I am a Hillary supporter for McCain and so in EVERY BODY I know! I have not met ONE person, even blacks who will vote for Obama…I cannot imagine who these pollsters are calling, but NO ONE I know has been called! Guess they are using demographics in their polling!

If Hillary steals the nomination, who wants to bet liberals will claim it was due to the vast right wing conspiracy? Liberals are certainly making it a habit to contest every election (when they lose). If they win though, everything was fair.

The Obama camp encouraged her to put her name in? Yeah right! It’s more like he was forced to do it. PUMA! PUMA! PUMA!

Go Hillary Go! Go Hillary GO! Around the bowl, and down the hole… GO Hillary, GO!

If you have ever watched “Blazing Saddles” it fits “The Messiah” DFN Obammer to a tee. Shiny clothes, no brains, and whitey is dumb.

Its about time Hillary was rightly named. Obama didnt win anything, he was placed with the help of the Republicans who know that Obama CANT win against McCain. If the choice is between Obama and McCain, McCains the choice, only Hillary can beat McCain. We need the Clintons back in office to fix the economy like Bill did during his terms!

Just when we thought Hillary was dead and buried her fingers claw to the surface once again. If she doesn’t get the nomination this year she will get it in 2012. either way this ploy is designed to cut Obama off at the knees. She will not rest until she gets her place of power.

Because of his association with Bill Ayers, Obama could not get the security clearance needed to enter the Army as a private. Commander-In-Chief???
Obama is unfit, unqualified and dangerous.

Gregor… Quiet big guy. The idea is to blend in :-)
Imagine Hillary using her vast power of persuasion to take over Harry Reid’s job and rule next to Pelosi…maybe then we-the-people can have a real energy future that includes personally owned vehicles.
Anyone here ever read the US Constitution? The black men got the vote before the white women, and they’ll get the Oval Office first too. Someday, but not in 2009. I can think of some way better black men for the job.

While the Messiah was in Hawaii working on his tan Hillary & Bill were romancing the Super Delegates and the Edwards delegates.
Hillary kept to 1,437 pantsuits for a reason. Bill can’t wait to get back to the White House to check out the new crop of young interns.
Ha-Ha-Ha Watching these Democrat morons is such great entertainment.

Quite the nasty one aren’t we Samantha. Why is that. I don’t care who you are. You could be the pope for all I care. Oh, I’m sorry. Am I suppossed to be impressed. You certainly don’t act like a professional with your snide comments. Roe v Wade could very well be overturned with a conservative court. If I don’t like Obama then I’ll vote him out in 4 years. I won’t take a chance with a conservative Supreme Court though for the next 20 plus years. I’m surprised any dem would.

Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
Vote McCain.
Bomb, bomb bomb Iran.
PUMA PUMA PUMA for McCain
Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.

Davis, sorry. you lose..I am a retiree and so are most of my friends…we have never been called…and a lot of our families and friends are young with lan lines and they have never been called either…so just blew your theory!

Now we know how weak Hussein Obama is,he is letting Hillary on the ballot.He should of said no. Now Hillary will be the true nominee.And Obama could go back to his golfing in Hawaii with Michelle.
This was his stupid mistake.

Obama had better be careful, he may end up going the way of Vince Foster…

I happen to be a staunch Hillary supporter even though I am a registered Republican. I have never voted Dem in my life, but was willing to do so for her knowing she is the smartest and best qualified for the job. Also, she would work her a** off just to shut up the good old boys.
Obama could run against the Geico gecko and the latter would get my vote. Leftist, Marxist, socialist, elitist, egotist BHusseinO scares the crap out of me and millions of others. I can’t wait for Hillary to say ‘I told you so’ once Barry starts screwing up everything. I really can’t stand the man or his over-opinionated wife.
If Hillary isn’t on the ballot, McCain gets my vote.

Samantha, no where in any post have I said I am concerned about Roe v Wade being overturned. My concern is the Supreme Court going conservative and the direction this country will take because of it. I am looking beyond the next 4 years. Good thing I would never have you on retainer. I like my lawyers to be professionals. That’s not being naive, that’s being smart.
And McCorvey wasn’t on the Supreme Court which was balanced. She just wanted it overturned. If it goes conservative who knows what will happen.

d//if calling it “pro choice” makes you feel better, use it…in my opinion it is just an excuse to kill a baby because you were too stupid to practice birth control or abstain!!! What other reason would a woman need to use “pro choice…except for abortion…stupid!!

I think it important that Hillary and her supporters save face. This is one election for the history books. It was a honor just to be a part of it on the forums.
I’m looking forward to this convention. Lots of drama. And Yes lots of Creative Artists. I’m also happy that the artists got involved this election year. Their voices count too and they have fans. Despite Rove and Schmit’s plan to take them out of play and just label them all celebrities.

What if Hillary gets more votes during the roll call?

If anyone thinks Hillary has given up, you have another think coming! Hillary has a scheme up her pants. I bet she will wind up with the nomination and completely dump BO. You can go to the bank on that one!!

Gl, come to me. I’m the blonde witch who lives in Central Islip, NY. If you can find your way here anyone will be able to point me out to you. I’ll happily square off with you right now, just cus you need your teeth kicked down your throat for the non-stop violent threats. I’ll happily stomp your face in. All 5’5 150 blonde haired, blue-eyed, non-racist, very liberal bit of me.
I hope you take me up on that..and I HOPE that you STFU until such time.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…

Bring it on bitch! No blonde will be able to kick my ass! Bring it on!

Funny, all of the racist remarks come from democrats. The color of a man’s skin is never an issue, except with an Obama supporter. Ever think that maybe, just maybe, one year as a senator, and very little else in a resume just isn’t enough to lead a nation? Clinton is the clear choice for experience…Obama the clear choice as a figure head.
Don’t let the word “racism” steal the election from Hillary.
Posted by: dncman | Aug 14,
She lost what part don’t you Clinton support understand. If the Republ are saying she lost and need to move on. Some Republ really feel bad for Obama that his have to fight Clinton as well as McCain!

Go Hillary! If she is not ballot the Dems will not get my vote!!

I thought hillary had the popular vote. how can B. Hussain Obama be the nominee? or does the popular vote only count against the gop?

That should be a good one… You know I forgot exactly when that “bitter woman march” is supposed to be, any of you Clintonistas know when I can tune in to see that one!
Please let me know the time for the “bitter woman march” Ha, Ha, Clintons supporters label as bitter women!

You can not tell me that race will play a big part in this election. WalMart is telling their employees not to vote for Obama. Hamm – I never did like WalMart.

Actually Hillary could be very powerful if she stays in the Senate.

The thing I hate about the democrats is this pathetic desire for fairness. They are supposedly doing this so that people’s feelings arn’t hurt, and to make sure that everyone has their say. Of course we all know that this is Hillary’s last hope to get the nomination. It’s been months since we’ve heard about “super delegates”, but they could still give Hillary the nomination. Neither candidate got to 2025, so it really is still up in the air. Don’t think for a second that Hillary wouldn’t except the nomination. I would bet that she’s been quietly planning this move for months. The Clintons need power like vampires need blood.

Oh, and one more thing. This goes to show what a spineless pushover Obama is. If he can’t stand up to the Clintons, I hate to think what would happen if he met with Ahmedinijad or Putin. As much as I would hate to see our country in a state of disgrace, I say let Obama have it, just to show America what a joke Obama is, and the kind of lousy leadership you get from democrats.

I hope and pray that our country remains safe.
I voted for Romney, and will vote for McCain.
However, I’m truly waiting for the 2012 election!

I am a Republican exicted at the opportunity to vote for Obama……the horrific idea of having Hillary on the ballot is making me think twice about the Democratic Party….not a good decision to put someone as DIVISIVE as Hillary on the ballot…..keep it simple and let us vote for Obama and change….not the same ‘ol same ‘ol of McCain and Clinton

ROFL, excited to vote for a socialist that is a Republican? Obama does have tons of cash to pay idiots like you to post on message boards.

party unity? surely you jest. hillary could care less about party unity. this is about her, plain and simple. hillary is nothing more than a cold, calculating, self-centered, narcissistic egomaniac. she wants the presidency more than a junkie craves his next fix.
hillary could care less about those 18 million voters. if she truly cared about party unity, she would take a stand with all her supporters and say ‘look folks. obama won the fight fair and square. yes, it was a close fight. yes, i know you have doubts about obama. but it’s time to rally all our support behind him and work to re-take the white house in november. so, let’s all come together on this. please do not bring my name up for consideration. if nominated, i will not accept.’ that would surely demonstrate true party unity. that would demonstrate true leadership on her part. unfortunately, her actions and words (or lack of them) since suspending her campaign june 7th show her true intentions.
and one final question; why is it obama’s responsibility to pay off her campaign debt? she’s the one who mis-managed all those millions of dollars and is now deep in the hole in debt. if she can’t manage that piddlin amount of money, what will she do with hundreds of billions of dollars? she’d make bush look like a tightwad.

I’m sick of the way the Clintons and their supporters have whinned and cried. OH we are women don’t play so rough, but let us in to play. It’s time to sent the clintons out to pasture and be rid of this pair of jackels. Neither Clinton, McCain or Obama show change they’re all part of the mess this country is in. Lets get rid of all the incumbants and start over. But all you Clinton, McCain, & Obama supporters blindy follow like sheep and vote in the same crap we have now

First of all, most of us are not voting for Senator Obama just because he is black. There have been black candidates in the past few elections and I did not vote for them, I didn’t even vote Democrat in 2004 even though I now realize I should have given Kerry a shot. The reason that I am voting for Senator Obama instead of John McCain is because the Republicans dont care about most Americans, they wrap themselves up in the American flag and throw out simples terms like Shrinking Big Government and Support our Troops. But when closely examined when they say shrink big government that means they only want to privatize government functions and continue to fleese the American taxpayers with huge ridiculous contracts to corporations whose sole purpose is to gravy train off the US Treasury. And when they say Support our Troops, they really mean Support those Corporate contractors. Every single thing that was done under the Bush Administration was to great benefit to the contractors, not the American people. Senator Obama is a departure from that and really anyone making less than $250K a year should run from McCain.

The committed superdelegates have to vote for that candidate in the first round..correct ?
Obama’s superdelegate lead looks insurmountable ? Does anyone concur ?

Should be Clinton-Obama, NOT Obama-Clinton ticket!

Hillary has been fighting most of her life to bring equally to all races while Sen. Obama has been hating the white race by listening to hate filled speeches in his raciest church for much of his. How could anyone try and paint her and her supporters as being raciest is beyond me. We are not blind and will not close our eyes to the truth.

The COLB has to do with his citiseoship with out it you cant be the POTUS….

I do commend his service to this country. I really do…..
But he has no spine. The republicans ripped it out of him when got the nominee for pres and they didn’t.
We all know they hate him.

Obama does not owe the Clinton’s anything. Hillary is behaving like a spoiled brat who can not accept the fact that she lost. Hillary, I’m going to help you out and give you a head start for November. Get ready now and say it with me, “Congratulations, President Obama”

Don’t attack McCain’s service. It’s just as dirty as when Kerry’s service was attacked. POW to Senator is pretty impressive and powerful stuff and should be. Leave that part alone….it will backfire…Issues are enough; especially in this election after the BUSH/Republican years.

I’m an Obama supporter 100%! If by some unjust fate Hilary is nominated I will make my voice(& vote) heard in another way. I strongly urge all Obama supporters to not vote in ’08-if Clinton is on the ballot. Make our voice count with extremely low turn out to show how we despise selfish,soar losers(Clinton) & that we refuse to hand over our votes out of spite to an out-dated,Bush2(McCain) or who’s that other guy(Nader)! NO OBAMA-NO VOTE!!!

Is there any question that Obama is a big liar? Vote for a liar and you’ll be a slave of liars. Why should he keep his promises to you when it does not matter, and he would get your vote anyways? If you have no principles about who you vote for, why do you expect your candidate to have any principles?

This is the first truly “democratic” decision that this party has made since its undemocratic actions on May 3l. If Hillary’s name is truly put into nomination, as in all the past conventions in my lifetime, she will have an opportunity to win the nomination. If Obama, Dean, and the DNC do anything else, they will lose forever the Democrats for Hillary who know that the media and the DNC misinformed the American people by letting them believe that the superdelegates could vote before the convention. A “delegate” is a delegate to a convention and must cast his/her vote there; until that time, no vote is official. It is sad to read all the comments above from US citizens who are so uninformed about the Democratic Party nomination process.

I don’t dislike Obama, I just – like most other Clinton supporters – have not heard a word of substance in anything the man has said. We need a president not a pep rally. Many of the people voting for Obama are so young that they have no recollection of how good Clinton politics were… and after the last 8yrs.. anything looks good. The younger people that are coming out in swarms for Obama are mostly young adults that are still living at home and do not know what it is like to struggle in the job market, worry about healthcare for their families, or have ever owned a home – let alone had to worry about losing it. The VP choice is going to make or break him – It’s bad enough that he needs to hang on to a VP’s coattail to strengthen him against McCain (who is not a very strong Rep candidate to begin with).
