It is a simple fact that this country has run on fear for at least seven years now. There is a genuine fear of the harm H. R. Clinton, would and could inflict on the interests of this nation concerning fair trade, foreign policy (ie Iraq), WAL-MART, and overall unity and well being of this once shining nation. This fear is not based on media hype, sexism, or any other superficial motivator; but rather, because of the surprise that we all got from "innocent looking" George Bush, who's gift to this nation has been a more cautious mind, for the sake of rejecting the next ne'er-do-well candidate. Your argument can be considered akin to saying, "Lets not look towards peace talks and diplomacy in the Middle East, lets keep fighting and see who wins." In your last line you stated that you "believe our system works." I sincerely, hope I am not the first person to tell you that after W and Cheney's second term, I am not so sure. There is highly suspicious evidence suggesting that particular election was a heist.
Hillary Clinton IS that shadowy figure that we cannot afford to have in the Presidential seat, the Commander-in-Chief seat or any other seat she would be taking. I fear for the entire nations sake, that the more than 50% of all individuals in this nation who are not informed enough, or intelligent enough to make an educated, rational decision preceding their vote are voting. It is simply an undesirable consequence that this more than 50% are either voting for Hillary or not voting at all. This fact, however is not merely accident, but a political strategy that has worked by mobilizing masses of rural voters and undereducated feminists. The best candidate HAS stepped forward and is leading in delegates, the only recourse that the Hillary camp has, is that the spitting cobra that is your first choice, for why I don't know, has temporarily blinded Senator Obama, and has encouraged the notion that the high-road is not working. The reason we have superdelegates is such that the high-road CAN work, despite the misguided masses with at best a high-school diploma, let alone a misappropriated degree from a respected institution. Obama must maintain his forward-thinking message and bring the message of unity and inspiration for ALL citizens back into his campaign. We want Barack Hussein Obama, not Senator Obama's response to Senator Clinton's nasty remarks. This is not ping-pong and Barack Obama has no obligation to constantly defend baseless attacks, we need forward progress. The job of diminishing Hillary Clinton's credibility is easily done through his educated and informed supporters, news media coverage which exposes her shadowy past, and jokes which stab at the fact that well, Hillary Clinton is simply too spiteful and selfish to run this nation towards real change.

Because the process is NOT FAIR. Obama should have won already. The primaries are been rigged on all the voting machines. Why do you think Hillary HATES CAUCUSES and refuse to allow a revote in Florida and Michigan by caucus? Use your head and think. What is wrong with people getting together and counting one another to make an accurate vote? Nothing other than it prevents HILLARY and the Carl Rove fanatics from preseting the voting machines for the witch.

Wake up my friend. Things are not as they seem. Read more and get away from that TV of lies!

All is fair in love and politics. And so it goes. We have two candidates on the Democratic side.
One stands out more than the other. Experienced, concerned and able to roll with the punches.
A proven candidate, whose turn has arrived. The other requires more seasoning. More time
to learn from elder statesmen in the senate. That has been the way, and should continue.
We cannot afford just a great speaker, but someone who can provide both change and
experience to face what lies before us. An individual determined to stand up for our future and our well being. Not just speak at rallies about it., but ready to act as we are threatend by our
enemies. Policy speaches must be backed by explaining how those policies would be put into
place. Senator Clinton has explained her position and policy on the matters of importance to us
all. Do not be afraid of putting a woman in charge. She can and must succeed where the
men of the past have failed. Perhaps were it not for women during WW2, we might not be here
having this discussion The lack of experience gave us 8 years of George Bush. We must not suffer this way again.

no one is forcing you to read them.... this is how a democracy works....

I remember 1968 when the fight for the Democratic nomination went all the way to the convention. The floor fight that ensued split the party and handed victory to Richard Nixon. Now there's an election that changed the course of history! Competition is healthy, to a point.

And on the floor in Denver he will vote for Hillary.

Hillary supporters are calling Howard Dean as I type. And we are telling him that without Hillary supporters Obama loses in a landslide to Mc Cain. And Obamas lies about the Clinton's and his inexperience are just two of many reasons we will never vote for Obama.

And in November if Obama slides into being nominee us Clinton supporters will either:

VOTE NADER

VOTE MC CAIN

STAY HOME

AND/ OR AS MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND I HAVE ALL TOLD DEAN ALREADY, WE WILL ALL LEAVE THE DEM PARTY.

Dean can pick "come lately" voters. The ones that are here today and gone tomorrow or he can back Hillary and her supporters. We are the back bone of the party. All races and genders
( including the 10 to 20% African Americans) that work our backsides off for the DEM party ever single year. Not just election years. Every year we donate in the millions, volunteer our time to local DNC offices, hold fund raisers, make calls, volunteer our time at local events and on and on and on. And GOTV in election years and everything in between.

Without the millions of us, the DEM party would face serious problems. We love the DEM party and by allowing someone who many think is a cult GOD to come in and try to take over the party is stomach turning. And we are not going to stand by silently while our great DEM party is taken apart brick by brick.

And either seat the delegates from Fl and MI or let them have new primarys. Take a stand for the American voter Doc Dean. Take a stand for Senator Clinton and her millions upon millions of supporters. We are waiting.

JOIN WITH US MY FELLOW HILLARY SUPPORTERS. CALL AND/OR WRITE DOC. DEAN AND LET HIM KNOW HOW YOU SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON. AND HOW HILLARY SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

DOC DEAN SUPPORT SENATOR CLINTON AND THE DEM BASE WILL FOLLOW. AND HILLARY WILL BE SITTING IN THE WH. HILLARY IS A STRONG LEADER AND HAS GREAT IDEAS AND STRONG PLANS TO PUT THEM IN PLACE. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL LEAD AMERICA OUT OF THE MESS BUSH HAS MADE.

Tx - great idea! You know Hillary folks will flood the DNC headquarters. I have made and continue to make numerous phone calls in support of Senator Obama. My phone bill is something else! I do not run into as many staunch supporters of Hillary as I used to. When Hillary starting running a negative campaign - it has turned many Democratic voters off and has swung many Independents and moderate Republican voters into Senator Obama's camp. The fact that Haskert's house seat fell to a Democrat in a Republican stronghold is a sign in the right direction. Voters are just plain tired of same old, same old.

Obama is doing both. He is shady and a failure.

It's the suggestion of inevitability that is misleading, especially as regards the likelihood of Obama's ability to replicate caucus victories in a secret general election ballot. One supporter pointed out that Obama can lose OH and FL in the general yet still win by taking 3 out of CO, IA, MO, NM, and VA. Are all Democrats confident that Obama does better than Hillary in those states against McCain? That is the question the super delegates will have to answer.

There are 3 stories currently running that are nothing but sheer National Enquirer scandal-mongering.

I don't mind reading BS from the colunmnists, but the other stuff is annoying.

Then, Obamamaniacs cut and paste the same garbage and slap it on all the threads.

I hear ha......I definitely don't pay too much attention to the "news" portion on this blog.

Huffpo is just another blog. It's become a grand kool-aid station for the Obama cult. I can understand if people don't like someone's policies, but the personal attacks and dirty lies of these Obama followers and huffpo higher ups are insane.

The truth is Hillary keeps winning states a democrat must win and can win in November, like OH, FL, NH, NM, etc. So far Obama has won a bunch of cacuses in red-states like UT, KS, AL, LA, VA, GA, and SC with the help of 90% of black votes. If you think he is going to bag these in November, you, my friend, are swimming in the kool-aid.

Here is an idea for the Superdelegates. Those that committed to Hillary should cast their vote for Hillary, and those that said they'd support Obama would follow their candidate and simply vote "present" and see how that works out!

You couldn't be troubled to give us a link or citation, I suppose.

Hummm, plowboy- did you know that Rezko received over $100,000,000.00 in grants and loans to 'help' Chicago's south side- which also happened to be State Senator Barack Obama's district? YIKES! www.politicalamnesia.blogspot.com VIDEO.

Please get your facts straight. Obama suppoerted Joe Lieberman. Obama called Lieberman his Mento in the senate.

You just can't handle the truth Hillary is dishing out.

Richardson, Biden, Fiengold, and esp. John Edwards, they're really being cowards. At least when Republicans drop out, they don't take more than a week to endorse somebody. At least in Richardson's case I can understand his internal conflict considering his history in the Clinton admin and the fact that his state when narrowly to Hillary. It's too late for him to make much of an electoral impact at all. At least he stayed neutral rather than endorse Clinton, which was perhaps the closest thing to backing Obama he could do. But he lost the chance to make an impact before Super Tuesday (aside from watching Super Bowl with Bill) in NM, CA, CO, AZ; and he lost the chance before March 4 in TX.

So outside of giving Obama superdelegate momentum, he's let every chance pass him by to influence the election. The last place left with a big Latino pop is Puerto Rico, and frankly I think most Boriquas could care less who a Mexican American endorses. That's apples and oranges. Edwards has also missed opportunities to sway presumably strong residual pockets of support in heavily blue-collar states like Ohio, but he could still be valuable to Obama in Pennsylvania and esp. North Carolina.

Obviously, D-Day wasn't D-Day. I think it's pretty apparent that Hillary is now firmly back in the race. Everyone will take a wait and see attitude now.

Unless Obama offers Richardson a VP or something particularly juicy, I wouldn't look for an endorsement.

I don't think there is a system anymore. It's corrupted.

Bob Novak and those that listen to him are embarrassing. Especial people that cant spell embarrassing-they are embarrassing.

Ann are you one of those women who thinks that when Obama asks Hillary a question it is similar to gang rape? If so why?

Not to mention AnninCA that many superdelegates that had pledged to Hillary Clinton earlier on abandoned ship and I dare say if they sense the wind blowing in another direction, they can just as easily jump back to the Hillary ship. The super delegates apparently mean nothing until they actually vote. I think Michigan and Florida will be done over and I think it is a whole new ballgame here and Hillary Clinton very well get the nomination.

Lets see Ann, 7 superdelegates for Obama since Tuesday. How many for Clinton?

Obama has gained at least 35 or 37 since Super Tuesday and Clinton has lost something like 6. So you were saying?

I have severe Clinton fatigue. I started out this race in the summer not even knowing who Obama was. I assumed I would vote for Hillary. I read her book and knew I wouldn't vote Republican. Then I started paying attention. I liked Obama, Clinton, Biden and Dodd. I really really started getting into it and read both of Obama's book. I thought that he was really smart, thoughtful and reasonable. I liked that he was a grassroots guy. I liked that he taught constitutional law. I liked that he had worked at a local, state and national level. I liked his substance from live streaming townhalls, meet and greets and his foreign policy forum. I liked his inspirational message. I liked the people supporting him...Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Tom Daschle, Dick Durbin. Everyone spoke reasonably and respectfully. Then the shit started in Iowa with Clinton's surrogates and played all the way thru to Bill's shit in SC. Then the last two weeks of Hillary Rove and I now find myself despising her as much as my Bush-loving Mother has always despised her. I always defended her over the years thinking my mom's hatred for her was crazy, but now I understand it.
