Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
As an avid supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Debra Bartoshevich is not alone in her frustration over Clinton's defeat.
She's not alone in refusing to support Barack Obama.

This really says something about the kinds of individuals the Clintons attracted to the party and why it's good to have a Democrat as the nominee of the Democratic party. Dixiecrats & Chixiecrats can hit the road and good riddance.
Chixiecrats? That's just lovely. Maybe people will start to get that Clinton supporters (centrist, liberal and progressive) won't necessarily pull the lever for Obama. He has to win them over. Many insulting Obamamaniacs like those on HuffPo are making reconcilliation more difficult for him.
Amen!
What was it Hamlet said about his own mother?
This woman isn't supporting a candidate as much as sexist stereotypes.
I wouldn't call her a democrat. I would call her an angry woman who didn't get what she wanted so she's throwing a temper tantrum. I would also question her love of this country and its next generations. Apparently she doesn't know much about McCain, if she did she could never vote for him with his views on women's issues as well as his lack of knowledge on the constitution and the state of the economy. When she's walking to work because she can't find gas, or has to use powdered milk because she can't find milk. Maybe she'll be really proud of herself and her lack of ethics.
Some people are beyond logic and are not worth redeeming. If Bartoshevich feels that Clinton was wronged by the party, that's fine. If Bartoshevich feels that the media was sexist, that's fine. If Bartoshevich feels that the climate in America accepts misogynism, that's fine. However, what Mrs. Bartoshevich needs to explain is how has Barack supported or even participated in such activities. More importantly, what has John McCain and the Republican Party done for women that has earned them the vote.
Hillary should come out and rip into Mrs. Bartoshevich for such an idiotic position. If Hillary is backing Obama as she says she is, she should come out and put this potential fire out immediately.
The fault in your logic is, of course, "If Hillary is backing Obama as she says she is...".
Do you, for one moment, believe that Hillary is backing Obama? Do you think she will just go along, and return to her happy life in the Senate?
"No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her."
This woman is a complete idiot. Let's see why:
A) The Democratic Party didn't ignore Hillary, in fact she enjoyed a HUGE insider advantage that Obama didn't pass until the very end. She lost fair and square.
B) So she is saying that the Republican party is a party that won't ignore her? This the same party who wants to take away her right to make decisions about her own body? How's that for ignoring? Do you think the Republicans are ever going to have a woman presidential candidate? Yeah right.
She is an idiot, she contradicts her own arguments, and she deserves to be stripped of her delegate status and replaced with a real Democrat.
The state DP has already moved to replace her with a real Democrat:
http://www
Amen to that.
Simple resolution. If she wants to support the Republican candidate, she is attending the wrong convention. She should relinquish her delegate status at the Democrat convention.
True.
Amen. She's horrible.
