If she will concede that all the votes that were not for her were Obama's then I bet he would go for it.  How does that sound?

For all the Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama if he wins great...America will go on without you.

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd hear anyone say that being black would be an ADVANTAGE to a presidential candidate. Who knew?!!

Has Hillary stated that Spitzer is no longer a national Co-Chair of her campaign?  Is he still involved?  Will he take on a larger role now that he has the extra time?  What about Spitzer and Bill campaigning together?
Has Hillary since Super Tuesday, the original one, every congratulated Obama for any of his wins in a speech or to the media not apress release?

You just couldn't wait to change the math....LOSERS!!

"Off topic, I know, but we never get anything anymore except info on the candidate's underwear.....I'd just like to point out that the BushCo criminal conspiracy TELLS THE TRUTH if you know how to listen.

Gates said it is "ridiculous" to think that Fallon's leaving will "change policy."

Off course not, you disengenuous right-wing punk! It was policy he quit over! "

Lee in CA do you actually read news or just make it up in your head?  Here is a news story from a year ago about no war with Iran if Gates has his say.  
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17836178/page/2/
It's from MSNBC even surprise surprise.  He was part of the Iraq Study Group that supported negotiations with Iran.  

This was part of the reason for Fallon leaving.  Because people who actually don't read news would react the way you have Lee in CA.  Study up actually before speaking you left wing punk.  

the reason why we cant afford to have the clintons back to the white house, is the disgrace they will bring to the white house again with all those sex scandals,he cant stop be an infidel, he was doing it since he was a young man and he cant change

I think Fate is throwing the kitchen sink at Hillary. :)

I find it interesting that being called a "monster" is more apalling and Called for HRC to ask for and get the removal of the culprit is more reprehensible than having everything you've worked for be diminished simply becausse of the color of your skin.
I DON"T SUPPORT EITHER candidate...

But I am an African American executive.  I deal with this EVERYDAY.  It's old, it's tired and it's a pathetic excuse from whites who cannot except the fact that times have changed and we AA's are not going anywhere except up in society.   ALl of you speak of of Obama not having any experience.  Let's look at facts:

- He's run a campaign without any lobbyist money AND funded by his futture employers...you and me
- He has trailblazed a new way of generating money for political purposes.  If it was not successful then HRC would not have copied it.
- He has withstood and is withstanding the barage of hate and race mongering that this entire campaign has evolved into.
-His campaign has drwn millions of new voters to the Democratic Party.
-THe CONSTITUTION dictates the qualifications of a President NOT the people.  He IS qualified.  
This has shown me that most of you have forgotten about his WHITE heritage...his mother is WHITE.  This smacks of the old south philosophy of "if you got one drop o'black blood den you black".  


LEt's use the brain God gave us and THINK not REACT. THe Dems were supposed to be the party of inclusion and the defender of the people, but this campaign has brought out the worst in a lot of you.  WHether you like it or not, whether you like him or not, he is winning and CAN win in november...why else would Rush Limbaugh tell his supporters to back HRC?  Think people, please just think  

I’m a black male, and GF comments don't offend or surprise me much. What she is claiming is very typical of what many white Americans believe: Anytime a black person is recognized in a positive way, it is due only to affirmative action. I have heard this from white people on many occasions. People such as GF seem to believe that whites are fundamentally better than blacks, and a black person being more qualified than a white person is just not unfathomable. Anytime a white person is passed over for a black person, they cry affirmative action. At the same time, they refuse to accept that blacks are passed over for whites as a normal course of business. They refuse to believe that blacks are capable of accomplishing anything great. They pretend to honor great leaders such as MLK and the like, but deep down don’t really think much of them.

Its interesting how people like GF will be the first to accuse blacks of playing the race card, but completely ignore that it is in fact them who are playing the race card -- complaining that Hillary is losing only because she is white.

I think that it's time that we have change.  I really want Obama to win the primaries and feel that he would do the better job.  However, if Hillary somehow wins the nomination.  (Stranger things have happened) my first instinct would be to not support her and abstain from voting.  However, after talking with other Obamama supporters, we agree that she is the lesser of two evils.  After all, they do have similar views (as much as they both deny it.)  They both have similar years of experience and accomplishments. (if you don't count being the first lady as experience).  They will both revamp the health system or start to do that.  I don't think that it would be productive for them to work together.  Maybe at first, but Hilary has went too far in her attacks, and It would be phony.  I think that if republicans in PA vote in the elections as Rush Limbaugh says, they should for Hilary, so that she would be an easy target that they are in for a rude surprise.  The polls have been wrong before.  If Hilary wins, they will always ask themselves what if it was against Barack, maybe I lost it for McCain.  Hilary will get all of Baracks votes plus her own. Once the anger subsides.  If they vote for Barack because they think that he would be an easier candidate because he is black then they are always going to wonder, would the majority of blacks and hispanics, and other minorities,  teachers of all races, (Baracks mom was a teacher) extremely fed up middle income people mid aged people, rich intelligent people, 18 years fresh out of high school who feel they can make a difference, have turned out.  It's best they stay out of the race, less they have a guilty conscious.  The polls have been wrong before.  The superdelegates are being very smart in waiting or changing back and forth.  Florida and Michigan broke the rule and thus should accept their fate. If an NFL coach messes up for his team then the whole team may suffer the result by losing draft choices in the future.  If an NCAA coach cheats on recruiting, the whole team may be banned from post season play or scholarships for a while.  It's sad but sometimes many must suffer bacause of a fool. Such is the case for Florida and Michigan.  The only exceptions possible, caucuses will not be approved by Clinton.  Obama will not approve votes where she won since he did not get a chance to recruit the first time.   The popular vote will win.  with the super delegates.  If not, this entire process was in vain and a helluva lot of money was wasted on both candidates.  I must say I'm sick of the drama from both sides, but I guess that's politics.

"*** UPDATE *** Pledged total has been corrected to reflect 1,398 for Obama. 1,394 was the total before the full Mississippi totals were factored in."

Didn't you say the Miss. delegate numbers were 19-14?  5 more Miss. delegates for Obama than Clinton.  So why is the new difference only 4 more than the old difference?

I wonder if black people are voting for Obama or against Hillary. At the same time, I also wonder how many whites are voting for Hillary as a vote against a black man.

What is racist anyway?

If this primary season has proven anything it's that we need to reform the process.  Campaigning should not be allowed until the beginning of the election year.  It should last 6 months, with a national primary in June.

The top two candidates from each party would then be invited to attend their party's convention.  Instead of delegates voting, there will be an American Gladiator style competition that will consist of four parts:

1)  A current events quiz a la "Wait wait don't tell me."

2)  Feats of strength

3)  A game of Risk

4)  A spelling bee

And another thing; if I had a nickel for every incorrectly spelled word on this blog I would buy NBC, reassign Chris Matthews and his cast of idiots to custodial positions, and replace them with wombat anchors.

And as long as I'm ranting, why don't you Obamamites stop blathering about the delegate count.  You obviously didn't get the memo that the delegate count is wholly and entirely irrelevant now.  Neither candidate will get the 2,023 delegates needed to secure the nomination (the number will be higher once Florida and Michigan resolve their retarded primary issues).

The only number that's going to matter in August is the popular vote.  But with any luck space aliens will invade and conquer earth rendering this steaming cow turd election cycle moot.  I don't think I can take much more.

STOP THE INSANITY!!!!

Mississippi Republicans voted for Hillary 3-to-1. They are not voting for her because they prefer her over Obama, they are voting for her because they feel she is more beatable in a general election than is Obama.

This along with Hillary's "endorsement" of Sen. McCain over Sen. Obama is all we need to know to realize all Hillary is doing is helping the Republicans at the Democrats expense.

CA in Tuscaloosa: It is all over but the crying. The crocodile tears of Hillary Clinton that is. Hillary is hanging on like captain Ahab in her obsessive quest
for the presidency that is slipping through her grasp.
She refuses to recognize this reality. Ergo her campaign will just go lower and lower and filthier too.
The Clinton campaign is proof that denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
I think that if she can't have the nomination she'll do her utmost to torpedo Obama in the fall. She's willing to subject the nation to a McCain Presidency in order to enhance her chances in 2012.

To the person pretending to be Sharon Stone. I don't vote for someone just because she is a woman. I am a 58yr old white woman and I am ashamed at the way Clinton has used women to further her power hungry ambition. Yes, I am angry but I am angry at her.

To all women who think for themselves and are smart and intelligent: Thank you for continuing to support Barack Obama.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating.  I have three words for the people who say they'll vote for McCain if Hillary/Barack (choose one; both sides are saying this)is the nominee:

1.  Iraq

2.  Roberts

3.  Alito

Chuck Todd,
Allow me to express my views on Geraldine's use of sexism and racism in her criticism of Obama. Normally, I respect others' opinion of any sort.
When I read Geraldine's statements on Obama's race and her false claim of victimization, I wondered aloud whether she has ever studied history.
Does she realize that Sept. 11, 2001, isn't necessarily the worst terrorist attack in America and that lynchings of over 3,400 black Americans and more than 1,200 of their white allies collectively constitutes the worst terrorist attack in America? She must understand that if she wants to play the gender card against Obama by labeling Obama or any of his supporters "sexist," she is rekindling memories of the 19th and early 20th centuries in American history, in which black men were tortured and even killed/lynched merely for disrespecting white women. And if she thinks that sexism is given too much attention over racism, she must have forgotten the horrific history in which black Americans (and I am a white man) suffered and died at the hands of white men and their brainwashed white women. So, Geraldine needs to be careful, as the politics of race only helps to rekindle memories of African Americans' past Holocaust-like (albeit much small in scope than the 6 million Jews killed) sufferings in the name of group superiority and even Christianity, the same ways the Nazis justified killings of innocent human beings.
Of course, sexism is an ongoing problem in almost all human cultures, not just America. If Geraldine believes she is a victim of sexism at the hands of Obama or his supporters, she must truthfully demonstrate that without leveling absurd allegations and playing the race card in the effort to help Clinton. She needs to be reminded that an overwhelming majority of blacks are supporting Obama because they were reminded of their history and disenchanted by Bill and Hillary's race gamemanship and the use of racially charged codes known to African-American community that has suffered for so long under slavery and the Jim Crow years (the only reason I am able to come up with to explain why whites in some states are preferring Clinton even though they are not the victims of slavery and Jim Crow are continuing bigotry and ignorance).
Geraldine must also realize that young people are supporting Obama because they are armed with facts about the history of our nation and are rejecting a culture of bigotry and ignorance displayed by their seniors. Of course, there are young people who have been instilled with the values of their ignorjant and bigoted parents and lack of an objective education.

To all you Clinton supporters.
What Hillary Clinton is offering the nation as "solutions" are the Band-Aids prescribed by the DLC when the nation really needs sutures.
Her claims of "experience" are specious to say the least. She really is running a Eddie Haskell campaign
and, just like June Cleaver, you can't see it.

Hillary HAS to win every upcoming contest by 64% to get the nom.  Ain't gonna happen, sorry to the Clinton Kool-aid drinkers, them's the facts.  Guess Hillary took the same math class as Huckabee.  Doesn't matter how much she whines and carries on, she's toast.  So much for being a strong woman, more like a professional victim.  Shame on you Hillary Clinton, you are a disgrace!

Geraldine was right Obama is only where he is because of his race and the media lovefest he has gotten.  He will never win in November-  The liberal media will have there day when McCain beats him and they can continue to bash Hillary and blame her for his demise

I'm not into names and all that, so for HRC fans attempting to dismantle Obama, check their records as laid out on this site and tell me what you think...

Just trying to even the playing field on this "experience/record" thing...

If anyone from the Clinton camp has a FACTUAL response to this article I'd love to hear it...not just the regular blasting that goes on in these posts I read of "too young, too dumb, too whatever"

I'm an independent. I've voted for Dems and Reps. This election I hope Obama wins nomination for Dems. I would vote for him over McBush. We can use some fresh air in DC. My only fear is some crackhead racist will attempt to assasinate him if he does win. America's standing in the world would definitely rise if Barack becomes President.

Chris Matthews interviewing Barack Obama = teenage girls at a Jonas Brothers concert

And what a Delegate he was....!!

who made Hillary Clinton GOD??? She is dividing the democratic party and giving McCain the presidency. Does she not see what she is doing?????? Does she want this presidency so bad that she is willing to give it to McCain??? Reality is certainly escaping this woman!!!!!

I know Eliot Spitzer has a lot on his plate right
now other than the presidential election, but being disgraced and not being Governor anymore, does that
automatically remove him from being a superdelegate?
Bill Clinton's not employed at the moment and he's a
super...something.

Hey all you Clintonistas I have some bad news for you.
Barack Obama wins Texas! It's now official.
I guess the support she got from Fat Rush Limbaugh's dittoheads wasn't enough to overcome the pasting she took at the caucuses.
Give it up already. hillary Clinton should quit now while she still has a little (extremely little) class and dignity left.

If you want me to respect Hillary, she needs to stop saying crazy things about how the Florida and Michigan primaries were "fair" and should be counted.  Let's be clear.  These were Stalinist primaries in which candidates were not permitted to campaign.  In Michigan, her leading opponent was not even listed on the ballot.  If that's her idea of "fair," she gets neither my respect nor my vote.

Help me understand the logic of many of the posters, Chuck Todd, and the "liberal media" When should Hillary have dropped out? When she was ten delagates behind? 50? 100? The media all knew she was going to lose NH, they were all sure she would lose CA, She was going to get spanked in TX, but as hard as the media tried she did not lose. Now with that wonderful record of predictions, you are asking us to trust you again? Sorry, but I think I will wait till the voters speak, and if in the end they choose Obama, I unlike the Clinton haters and the "liberal media" will support him 100%,

Lets do some more digging on Obama and me thinks we will find more proof of a gay prostitution situation, along with crack cocaine use. The swiftboaters will find it if the Clintons don't first. This guy is a fraud!!!

Does msnbc's popular vote tally include all the caucus states?  My understanding is that some caucus states have not released official raw turnout numbers, but rather only state delegate totals.  If not included, how will popular vote tallies be estimated from these caucus states?  It seems that popular vote may be the only measure by which Clinton can possibly catch Obama.  Yet there is wide variation in the margin currently reported--700K to 1 million plus--depending on the different methods of counting.  Also, how will the Texas caucus numbers be counted?  The more inclusive popular vote totals increase Obama's lead, and make Clinton's chances of catching him in the popular vote almost as improbable as with pledged delegates (even if you include the FL and MI counts as they stand).  I have not seen any of the major networks "show the math" on these estimates. This is a task, no doubt, that only Chuck Todd can handle.  Thanks.

   

Hillary has no experience either.  She is dividing the democratic party and giving McCain the presidency. Does she not see what she is doing?????? Does she want this presidency so bad that she is willing to give it to McCain??? Reality is certainly escaping this woman!!!!!

Interesting Joe that you brought that up, but believe me there are many people that will not vote for Hillary if she's our nominee.  Your candidate will lose the election.  Republicans will come out in droves to vote against her and then she has a trial coming up in October. That definitely wouldn't help her.  Believe me all the stuff that she's involved in will come up at that time.  We're doomed if she's our nominee.

CHUCK - RICHMOND SAYS "It's fitting that Clinton lost a superdelegate in this mess.  After all, a Clinton supporter got caught in a Clintonian sex scandal.  Good thing for Hillary that Bill wasn't caught in this as well! "  

DOES THIS SHOW THE MENTALITY OF THIS OBAMA SUPPORTER?  WOW - I CAN'T EVEN STOOP LOW ENOUGH TO RESPOND TO THIS TRIPE! I THINK WE HAVE SOME JUNIOR HIGH KIDS IN ON THESE BLOGS.

I have a question that this article brought up.

IF Hillary loses a Super Delegate....couldn't that mean that there technically could be a tie at the end of this whole process...since there were supposed to be a odd total number of delegates to make it so someone could win by one vote (hence reach 2025 and you win, now doesn't this change that?????)

We are in it deep people, neck deep! Some more math would show that for 8 years my savings has declined almost non exsisting, my paycheck has not increased, yet the money going out of it has doubled. For 8 years i have taken 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. I am a 45 y/o WHITE MALE, SOUTHERN BORN AND SOUTHERN BRED yet I have voted republican all my life (for the exception of BILL CLINTON).McCain had my vote until the past couple of weeks,Hillary was only breifly considered due to the fact I voted for Bill.Obama on the other hand has sparked an interest with me and alot of my friends as well and I must admit I have lost some friends for the mere mention of Obamas name. Good ole southern boys!! Maybe the so called inexperiance could way heavily on Americas vote when it comes to Obama but needless to say his race as well!! I'll put my money on Barack Obama I'd rather have money being pissed away on someone in this country than wasted on someone in another, for whom could care less either way!!! and to also add I couldn't give a fat damn if he were olive in color. GOOD LUCK oBAMA AND CONTINUE YOUR GOD GIVEN AMERICAN RIGHT!!    

I'm already getting my bumper sticker ready if worse comes to worse:

"Don't Blame Me; I voted for Obama."

In Clinton's argument to resolve the FL/MI issue, she urges Obama to join her in making this "NON-PARTISAN" solution come about.  Did she forget they're in the same party?

Obama supporters are still not talking about how he is superior on issues of healthcare, economics, energy or national security. Probably because he is not. His healthcare plan does not cover everyone. Go read his plan and compare to Clinton's. Which one would you want? The mortgage crisis? Compare Clinton's detailed plan against his. She advocates a 5 years freeze on adjustable mortgage rates. Energy? Obama still doesn't do as much as she does regarding biofuels and caps to protect the environment. If this race was on issues, she would win hands-down!

CHICAGO—Citing his judgment and ability to lead, admirals and generals from the United States Army, Navy and Air Force that together have served under the last nine Commanders-in-Chief today announced their endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for president.


In offering their endorsement, the generals and admirals recognized Obama’s judgment to oppose the war in Iraq before it began, his respect for the Constitution and rule of law, his leadership on behalf of America’s servicemen and women and his ability to conduct the diplomacy necessary to restore America’s standing in the world.  


"Those of us who have served, worn the cloth of our nation, and gone into harm's way know that to be successful we must have the strongest sense of trust in our Commander in Chief.  We must be confident that he or she has listened to the best possible advice, that he or she has garnered the best possible information from all possible sources, that he or she has analyzed and weighed all the possible consequences and outcomes, and that he or she has made the decision to exert military force as a last possible resort,” said Admiral (Ret.) Robert “William” Williamson (USN).  “Of this I am certain: Senator Obama will do all of those things and much more to ensure the safety and f reedom of our citizens, our allies, and coalition partners. He has all the great qualities and attributes required to carry out the most difficult duties of the Presidency.


“I spent a career involved in coalition warfare, and I am keenly aware of the importance of working with allies,” said Brigadier General (Ret.) James Smith (USAF).  “Senator Obama brings a powerful approach to dealing with national security challenges by truly leveraging multinational relationships.  He brings a new face of America to the rest of the world."


“Senator Obama has a profound, even scholarly knowledge of our Constitution and he has the deepest respect for the rule of law.  As a career naval officer, I trust his judgment, his temperament, and his ability to analyze complex international situations and relationships and to make military decisions that are in the best long term interests of the United States,” said Admiral (Ret.) Don Guter (USN).  “It will take the powerful leadership of Senator Obama to forge the consensus we need to right our ship of state, restore our honorable place in the world, and secure the safety of our nation."


“As a child of the Greatest Generation I learned that the attraction, glory and resilience of America come from the principle of “We the People.”  In my four decades in the national security arena I developed an increasing appreciation for the intent and expectations of this principle, particularly in terms of the Common Defense and Domestic Tranquility,” said Brigadier General (Ret.) David McGinnis (ARNG).  “In recent years, enticed to believe that these roles belonged to a chosen elite, each of us have paid an increasing price in loss of power, liberties, and national treasure. Today, by every measure, our current strategic situation is not good.   It is from that perspective I believe only Senator Obama offers us the opportunity to reclaim our Republic, restore our national dignity and ensure our overall security.  I salute his leadership, embrace his candidacy, and commend his courage.”


Obama is the grandson of a soldier who marched in Patton’s Army.  Throughout his career, he has exercised the judgment and leadership required of a Commander-in-Chief.  In 2002, he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning, cautioning that it could lead to "an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs and undetermined consequences” at a time when conventional Washington was lining up for war.  As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he has worked across the aisle to secure the world’s most dangerous weapons and as a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, he has compiled a record of standing up for America’s troops and veterans, leading a bipartisan effort to improve care for injured troops, passing laws to fight homelessness among veterans, and increase screening for Traumatic Brain Injury.  Over the course of the last year, Obama has unveiled a comprehensive national security agenda that includes detailed plans to secure America from the threat of terrorism, responsibly end the war in Iraq and renew American diplomacy to restore our standing in the world.

This blog is getting slower everyday. Post are only getting updated about three or four times a day. After they drop just a few spaces they are totally ignored.

Doesn't Hillary understand that by now insisting that the the earlier votes in FLA and Michigan count when she previously agreed not to count them  makes it impossible for anyone in congress or in a foreign to trust her word? How is she ever going to lead? The Clintons are dishonest brokers and their constant "spining reality" ("Depends on what the definision of 'is' 'is'")reinforces their dupicitous reputation. Enough already.

Obama supporters are still not talking about how he is superior on issues of healthcare, economics, energy or national security. Probably because he is not. His healthcare plan does not cover everyone. Go read his plan and compare to Clinton's. Which one would you want? The mortgage crisis? Compare Clinton's detailed plan against his. She advocates a 5 years freeze on adjustable mortgage rates. Energy? Obama still doesn't do as much as she does regarding biofuels and caps to protect the environment. If this race was on issues, she would win hands-down!

Open message for Obama, and my opinion of the news of the past 24 hours

Go Obama, go!!!  Do not listen to those hateful, bitter, burned out old hags that are surrogates for Hillary, like that hideous Geraldine Ferraro.  What a racist old bag she is showing herself to be.  She has a track record as a racist so this is to be expected.

Outrageous what she said (and continues to say),  and HRC did NOT fire her from her campaign which means that Hillary WANTS her stirring up race to win white racist votes in Pennsylvania (actions speak louder than words baby, every time).  The Clintons are truely disgusting.  

Hillary is qualified to be elected dog-catcher in some two-dot town in Arkansas, and even that is a stretch.  And I would not even vote for her for that.  She probably mistreats animals, too.

This question needs to be asked over and over and over again by the press:

"Hillary - assuming you win the rest of the states by a 20 point margin, and assuming we just went ahead and seated Michigan and Florida as is - you still would not catch Obama in the delegate or popular vote total.  How do you see yourself winning this race?"

She cant answer that cause the truth is "Stealing it with the Supers".

Forget stupid has been Ferraro -  I want to see her asked the important question.

Obama is not going to lose the general election for Democrats -- he polls equally as well as Hillary against McCain, largely because he pulls in more independents and Republicans than she does, while she pulls in more rank-and-file Democrats. After almost eight years of divisive partisan politics, I'd rather have a president who appeals to a wide swathe of voters instead of the old-school members of a single party. HRC has no chance at all due to her shrill, humorless nature and her failure to adapt to the political times. Instead of saying Nobama, I think I'll say GOBAMA!

Here's the letter I sent to http://www.hillaryclinton.com/help/contact/

Dear Clinton Campaign,

The folks from the great state of Florida wholeheartedly support your decision to re-do a Florida Primary.

We were robbed of being able to flex our democratic rights as voters and applaud your push to not disenfranchise us.

Plus we totally missed out on seeing Barack in person and having the pleasure of voting for him over such a dishonest, classless campaign such as yours.

Thanks again!

Jamaal

Howard Dean,

After the last two days its become clear the the race for the nomination is turning into a race war. In each contest Barack Obama’s percentages of the African American vote has gone up to where in Mississippi it topped 90%. I don’t believe like some would suggest that the party will come together once one of the candidates wins. This race baiting is not about the issues, but is a emotional attack toward a group of people that have faithfully supported this party in every election. This will destroy the party.

I would like to know where the leaders of the Democratic Party are  when we’re watching the party being destroyed. Where are you, Al Gore and the Super Delegates when it matters? Missing in action?

Here’s a list where the leadership could have made a difference.

1. Bill Clintons playing the race card in Iowa and South Carolina.
2. Geraldine Ferraro’s racially charged comments on black vs white. Why did you and other leaders not condemn those remarks immediately? Why wasn’t she removed from her post in the Clinton campaign immediately? There is no excuse for those remarks.
3. Then there is the ”as far as I know he’s not a muslim” remark from Senator Clinton.
4. The photo of Senator Obama in tribal dress that was leaked to the press.

This leads me to think that there is no leadership in the Democratic Party or they’re missing a moral compass.

I believe the Clinton campaign has decided since they can’t have enough of the African American vote that they will drive a wedge between black and white Americans. I now have come to believe they would destroy the party for their own personal gain. Shame on us for sitting by and watching the politics of self destruction play out before us.  

Six more weeks of this.

Why don’t the Super Delegates take charge and back the candidate of their choice. No, it’s way to easy to sit by and see which way the wind is blowing. That wind is going to blow John McCain right into the White House.

Shame on us.
