Rules are Rules.
If Massachusetts was “Winner take all” as Arizona and California, Mitt Romney will be still in the race. If Massaschussetts or Arkansas or Florida had change the primary date and put before Iowa, we may be McCain would haven’t won the primary.
Mitt

He didn't complain about it.
If we give Michigan to Hilary, that would means Bidden, Dodd, Richardson, Edward and Obama were not smart enough to keep their names on the ballots.

Nobody thinks that was the case. They agreed with DNC to protect the future of the process.
Gatcha or not Rules!

If we are serious about democratize the world, we have to be serious about the process. It is a shame that the former president go to this low road.
The majority of pledge delegate should determine the nominee; the will of people.

Every honest person in this country knows what means democratic process. That i what we are the leader of Free World

>>Obama has picked up 99 since Super Tuesday to Clinton's 13.5.<<

This is the only stat that matters anymore. If Hillary can't bring down at least 50 supers by next Wednesday, she really needs to rethink why she's in this race at all. I mean, she's welcome to continue running, but it seems an awful waste of money if there's essentially no chance she can win the nomination...

Neither of these Representatives are from my district. At least my Representative did not sign on to the letter posted previously.

If he had he would have been toast in my book when he comes up for election again.

I also note that Senator Bill Nelson a Clinton supporter did not sign on either.

But then again only Reps signed the letter not Senators

MSierra, SF — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:02:35 GMT

Sherrod Brown is actually a Senator, but he would be a GREAT running mate

Bill richardson showed courage in standing up to the Clintons. He'd be GREAT too

ANYBODY BUT Hillary !!
Just say no to witches

From Huff Post:

Jim Webb
Webb is the closest thing to a frontrunner for Obama's VP these days. A former Republican, he served as Secretary of the Navy for Ronald Regan. Webb defeated George "Macaca" Allen to become a junior senator in Virginia.

Pros: Webb is a good foil for Obama's post-partisan message, and he's the military credentials to go match up with John McCain. He's good at playing the attack dog, which will let Obama keep the high road. And he's from trending-blue Virginia, which would be a great pickup in November for Democrats. He's also pro-guns.

Cons: Webb can be a little out-of-control as attack dogs go.

---

Hillary Clinton
This ticket is either a dream or a nightmare. Some see it as the only way to reunite the Democrats in time for November. Other see it as the fastest way to destroy the Obama brand.

Pro: Strong appeal with working class voters and women.

Con: See Iraq War vote, 3AM phone call, Bill Clinton in South Carolina, and the month of March.

---

Bill Richardson
You know him, you love him, he's the New Mexico governor with a heart of gold, a kickin' mustache, and -- thanks to James Carville -- a new nickname.

Pros: You've heard them all before. A foreign policy resume a mile long, executive experience, and a lock with Hispanic voters. And he picked Obama, despite his Clinton ties.

Cons: Did you watch any of the debates?

---

Joe Biden
He is Mr. Foreign Policy. He also claims the best line of the primary season thus far. Too bad no one told Iowans he was running for President.

Pro: He trumps any foreign policy claims that McCain brings to the table. He can hit McCain hard.

Con: He tends to hit everyone hard. And he's a Washington figure, which could hurt a campaign running against Washington.

---

Brian Schwietzer
Never heard of him? You should. Schweitzer has been Montana's governor since 2005, and is currently on of the most popular governors in the country.

Pros: In addition to his executive experience, Schweitzer has spent a good amount of time around the world (including the Middle East) in his former life as an irrigation developer. His popularity and his pro-gun stance could help Obama in the Mountain West area. He also refused PAC and special interest money during his 2004 campaign. He's also criticized the economic consequences of the Iraq War, an approach that Obama has recently adopted.

Cons: Despite his travels, he has no official foreign policy experience. He also doesn't bring in any delegates from his own state (though that could be offset if he helps in places like North Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado).

WORTH WATCHING

Janet Napolitano
Another popular Western governor, Napolitano has settled into a second term in McCain's very red home state. She also backed Obama early in the race.

Pros: She has proven her executive capacity in Republican territory, as well as the Southwest, which will help sway Obamicans. A female candidate could also help reunite the Democrats.

Con: Her stance on immigration could prove costly among Hispanic voters.

Sherrod Brown
Another governor, this one from Ohio. Brown is a favorite among progressives for his economic populism and outspoken criticism of the war.

Pro: Could help deliver an important swing state.

Con: Doesn't really satisfy the idea of a unity ticket.

---

Chuck Hagel
A Republican senator who has fought with Bush tooth and nail over the Iraq war, Hagel is one of three Republicans who voted with the Democrats over a withdrawal plan. He also has served on the Banking, Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees. Hagel has also said he's considering endorsing Sen. Obama.

Pro: Broad Senate experience. A living embodiment of Obama's commitment to work with like-minded Republicans. Also is a veteran with experience in Reagan's administration

Con: He is still a Republican (especially on abortion, healthcare), which would not sit well with a lot of Democrats.

---

Wesley Clark
Rhodes Scholar turned four-star general and once-presidential candidate. A star resource for Democrats on military affairs.

Pro: John McCain would have to salute him. And he has Southern appeal.

Con: Backed Clinton early and has been a very active surrogate. Not always the best politician on a national stage.

---

Kathleen Sebelius
Talk about reaching across the aisle. This Kansas governor convinced a Republican to leave his party, become a Democrat, and run as his Lieutenant Governor. Kansas is rife with stories of Republicans undergoing conversions, and Sebelius gets a good amount of credit for this.

Pro: Another Red-state governor with an excellent post-partisan record. Having a female VP could be a strong ticket.

Con: Sebelius didn't wow anyone with her response to the State of the Union, which raises questions about how she would do on the national stage. And her location in Kansas doesn't add much that Obama doesn't already get from Illinois.

---

Tom Daschle
The former South Dakota senator, Daschle has been a strong supporter of Obama's campaign; he's a nation co-chair and is rumored to play a big part in the campaign strategy.

Pro: Can bring in votes from his home state.

Con: Weak campaigner: he lost his Senate seat while he was the sitting Majority Leader.

HONORABLE MENTION

Mike Bloomberg
Sure, most voters have never heard of him. And sure, he's never been a national player. But the current Mayor of New York has been a darling of the media, as they spent months seeing if he would get into the Presidential race. Coupled with some private conversations with Obama that caused a tizzy in the fall, a Bloomberg candidacy could cause some media attention that would rival that of even John McCain.

Pros: Excellent economic record. Interested in policy minutiate. Post partisan (former Republican switched to Independent). Media darling.

Cons: Unheard of outside his home state. It's tough not to seem like an elitist when the world 'billionaire' applies to you.

Why are all the ex-Democratic Presidents such complete morons? Carter can't keep his yap shut, and besides being the worst President of all time, now he's the worst ex-President of all time. Then we have Bill Clinton. Republicans warned us about him in the '90s, now he's proved what a jerk he is to everyone a decade later. A complete embarrassment. Republican ex-Presients mind their business, show up at ceremonies, and let the current President (whether it's a Dem or a Rep) do his job. Ford? Said and did nothing political after Carter defeated him. Reagan? One of the best Presidents ever, and he didn't say a word about politics after he left office. Bush I, same thing, kept his mouth shut about Clinton during his Monica problems, and did a lot of non-political work with Clinton after Clintons terms were complete. For you Obama fans, that's called uniting, you know, something your candidate has never done. Bush II will do the same thing. He'll stay apolitical, and watch Carter and Clinton continue to make total fools of themselves.

By the way, why doesn't former Pres. Clinton advise his wife to step down and save face? Maybe he has, and she won't listen. I think there is a certain strength in acknowledging when the game is over, a certain level of maturity in being a gracious loser. I hope to see this in Clinton. I'm not giving up on her just yet. Guess I'm a "Pollyanish", optimistic, HOPEful person. I want to believe her when she said that she would support Obama if he wins. And he is winning--popular vote, pledged delegates, and now supers. I am looking forward to both of the Clintons lending their names, talents, time, etc. to Obama's general election campaign. We'll see!

At this stage of the process, Hillary Clinton is acting like the Black Night from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". After suffering the fatal blow, she insists it is "just a flesh wound". It is time to face reality and throw her support behind the next President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Stop wasting the American peoples' time — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:27:42 GMT

So by the time the West Virginia primary gets here on Tuesday here is a metric for ya:

* if the polling percentage stay true to form, Hillary will pick up about 15 delegates and Obama about 13.

*When you add the 7 that Obama picked up today that will give him 20 delegates between the may 6 primaries thru the May 13th primary.

* So that will mean that Hillary will have lost 5 delegates in her pursuit of the delegate chase.

I REST MY CASE as to why this race should be stopped. But I guess Hillary's campaign team will dismiss that type of math until Mr. Obama crosses the finish line.. This is a sad affair.

Given today's surge of Super D's for Obama, it seems that Hillary's "Top of the Ticket" letter has backfired - just like yesterday's race remarks. But then, her strategy has seemed so flawed for so long.

Hillary supporters: please do not vote for McCain. I truly know how you feel but this one thing may help you get over the hump: we cannot let John McCain choose any Supreme Court justices.

The Clinton campaign is now in the anger and denial phase. Bargaining will come soon in the form of trying to persuade the Obama campaign to pay off her debts.
Depression and acceptance will hit when the DNC doesn't cave in to her demands regarding Florida and Michigan.

To answer the question, Where is the flood ? I dont think it will be a flood judt a slow trickle.Just enough every day not to disrespect Senator Clinton.I see Once again some of her supporters are still name calling. Come on you guys and gals it is time for us to stop the infighting and start unighting under one goal. To put an end to the failed policies of the Bush Admin. by saying no to McBush and taking back the White House. Please be respectful to each other. To all Obama supporters myself included let us not be offended by the constant barage of low ball name calling and race baiting tactic of Hillary Clinton supporters.Just understand that the example their candidate is giving them has left them to follow suit.

Obama catches Clinton in Capitol Hill endorsements
By Klaus Marre
Posted: 05/08/08 09:43 PM [ET]

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has finally caught Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in Capitol Hill endorsements.
When unpledged superdelegates Brad Miller (D-N.C.) and Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) became the latest members of Congress to endorse the Illinois senator on Thursday, Obama for the first time in the Democratic presidential primary race tied Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) in the number of public endorsements from lawmakers.

Ten months ago, Clinton led Obama in endorsements from legislators, 51-22. Three months ago, she was up 90-62.

Long gone are the days in which it seemed more than unlikely that a first term senator could get more pledged support among members of Congress than a former first lady whose roots reach deep into the party.

As though he knew that Thursday would be the day in which he caught Clinton in yet another statistic, Obama made a triumphant visit to the House floor earlier in the day and enjoyed a celebrity’s welcome.

What makes his latest feat so impressive, apart from the fact that many of the Democrats in the House worked closely together with President Clinton in the 1990s and knew the former first lady from that time, is that it is not just the young lawmakers who have been captivated by Obama’s message of hope and change.

Eight of his Senate supporters are committee chairmen. In total, Obama’s 14 Senate backers have been serving in the upper chamber for more than 250 years. Among them are Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), the party’s last presidential nominee, and Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), the head of the Democrats’ last dynasty before the Clintons.

In the House, Obama has attracted the support of such veteran lawmakers as Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.), Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and George Miller (D-Calif.), who chairs the Committee on Education and Labor.

In all, Obama and Clinton now have the public support of 99 lawmakers and it is likely that Obama will hit the century mark first.

Since his big win in North Carolina’s primary Tuesday and a close loss on the same night in Indiana, most of the media have treated Obama as the de facto Democratic nominee. While most lawmakers, fearing that a rift in the party could endanger a victory against presumptive GOP nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) in the fall, are careful not to tell Clinton to quit the race, several Democratic members of Congress have expressed that there has been a significant shift in the race

And his perfromance to date should also be telling of how Obama will manage the presidency: with dignity, class and intelligence.

If Hillary keeps on with her negative campaigning, more and more superdelegates will announce their support for Obama.

By asking Obama to debate him in oregon, it's becoming obvious that Clinton is dillusional. She is humiliating herself and her husband. The Clintons are leaders in the democratic party and if they want to continue as such, Bill needs to sit her down and make her understand that what she is doing is harming his legacy as well as her own standing in the democratic party.

As I stated here about two weeks ago, Obama is basically the presumptive nominee due to NC/IN results. The supers are starting to line up (7 today alone!) and he will overtake HRC in the super count, meaning he will lead in all metrics you could possibly imagine, by next week. Next prediction. Write it down. HRC is out after Oregon/Kentucky. Not enough money to keep it going. He will have the majority of pledge delegates sewn up and will have a clear lead among supers. Last prediction, 2025 (if they keep MI and FL out of the tally) will be hit by Obama by May 30th if not that day.

Obama all the Way! - from a white, paycheck-to-paycheck, middle-aged woman from Florida, where the sun always shines but the votes don't count. BTW...As far as seating Florida and Michigan delegates...with or without votes counted, the DNC needs to stick to its guns and refuse to seat them at the convention, mind the precedent setting and ditch Dean second week of November.

Wow, a tourniquet can't stop this bleeding. I am a white woman, early 40's who has been with Obama from the beginning. I consider myself a feminist for any female candidate except Billary. She has done what she needed to; but it was a turn off almost from the get go. I don't understand how one could fail so miserably with a $200 plus million dollar budget and think she could successfully manage the greatest country on the planet. So naive. I am sure she believes in herself. I am sure she is convinced she can do it better than Bill; but the reality is, if she is better than her campaign - it's a real shame America will never know it. I think the public has spoken not just with the ballot box; but with the incredible funding of his campaign. He has shown that he is a good steward of our political contributions by managing those assets effectively. She continues to say that she would be ahead but for a variety of reasons (if we counted 'winner take all' - I'd have won, I've won the popular vote, etc." It is scary to think her calculator and rule bending would ever be used nationally. If all the ifs were skiffs, we'd all float away. I sense that if the rules were other than what they were, Axelrod and Obama would have managed it strategically and would have still won. I am proud of my candidate. GOBAMA '08/'12.

Hillary is making a fool of herself. Being a fighter also means knowing when to quit.

Robert E. Lee was the best general on either side, but knew when to surrender. His gracious surrender and Grant's deferential response are lessons Hillary could learn from. If Lee had chosen to fight on, he knew it would bring only more pain than gain - and the outcome would have be no different.

A Vote for McCain Equals:

4 more years of Bush
4 more years of War
Our War Debt will be closing in on 4 TRILLION DOLLARS
Federal Debt will be closing in on 20 TRILLION DOLLARS
At this pace, Gas will be about $7.00/gallon
You will lose your house
More of your jobs will be outsourced.
The rich will get more tax breaks and you and I will have to pay for this.
Our childrens future will be set for them. Debt, Debt combined with limited opportunities.
You will not be able to afford College.

Seriously, I am just as big of Obama Supporter as you are a Hillary Supporter. However, they honestly don't vary much in policy at all regardless of what rhetoric both campaigns spin out there.

This is our opportunity as a country to push the NEO CONS like Bush, McCain, Rush, Hannity, Rove, etc.. out forever.

MCCAIN IS NOT A MAVERICK. Please go look at is voting record in the Bush years. He has voted Hardcore Republican most of the time and when didn't he flip flopped when he ran for President (Taxes,Immigration, War).

I would have voted for the Maverick McCain in 2000 but now he is just another Bushy croonie.

Oh yeah, he has two crazy pastors. Hillary has not been vetted in 10 years and the RNC has 1200 Pages on her as they have info on Obama as well.

Lets all take a time out. Have a drink and come back in July United to take back our great Country.

PS. I hate the Rev. Wright, but I have had pastors that are simply idiots but the church put them at "my" church. I love my church and the community. Pastors come and go but the Church is forever.

Obama folks, win graciously. Do not be snide or mean-spirited towards Clinton or her supporters. After all, Obama will need many of those supporters to vote for him in November.

Clinton supporters, recognize the following:
1) Supreme Court (next President will likely appoint 2 or 3 justices)and McCain just said this week that he'll appoint justices like Alito, Scalia, and Thomas
a) women's rights (abortion)
b) victims rights and whistleblowers had better watch out; people who have been hurt by docs, corporations, etc. are going to have it even worse. Anyone been affected by tort reform caps?

2) Economy
a) Taxes - More for the rich and elite (as has been the case for most Rep Presidents) and less for middle and working class people
b) Jobs - Who is secure in their jobs today? Or, whose had a loved one or friend lose their job to somewhere overseas due to the "outsourcing is good for business" that the Reps told us?

3) Healthcare
a) who likes how much they pay for their medical premiums?
b) who is having to pay more and more towards their medical costs to the point that it's either my meds or I eat a full meal tonight?

4) Foreign Policy (war in particular)
a) it was a mistake to go to Iraq, pure and simple. And it's costing us $12 billion per month. Money that could go to our schools, more police officers, medical research, TAX reductions?
b) who wants to see their loved ones come back maimed like the Miracle Marine (go look it up) or worse, in a body bag?

This is serious stakes. The Reps have picked their candidate, and it appears(?) that the Dems have picked theirs. It's time to coalesce behind the Dem (get over hurt feelings that your candidate didn't win, neither did mine in Richards) and recognize all of the things that are at stake.

The name calling is beyond me as this is a very important time in this country's history. Calling McCain "McShame" or other derogatory names and accusing him of having Alzheimer's disease, when there is no evidence to back it up is idiotic.

As a last comment to all the Obama supporters I was under the impression the this was the United States of America not the Nation of Obama “ObamaNation” as you keep posting.

We (Clinton Supporters) need to unite! I love Hillary and these past few days have been murder for me. First the anger of what she said about "Hard working Americans". Then seeing her look so forlorn campaigning in WV. It made me feel so sorry for her. Again I love the woman but realize its time to retire from the campaigning and help Barack beat the pants of McFlame-out

Thanks for the update. AP is reporting 9 today for Obama; are the other 2 already on your list? One was from Virginia if I recall.

This is so over. What does it say about Team Clinton that either she has no one close to her campaign able to convince her it's over OR she is too delusional to see it's over herself.

Hillary reminds me of Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber who, when hitting on a hot woman clearly out of his league said, "What are the odds a woman like you would go out with a guy like me?" She responds "Not good." He says "One in a hundred?" She says "More like one in a million."

And he responds, famously, "So you're sayin' there's a chance!"

That's Hillary "So you're sayin' there's a chance" Clinton, a once proud woman reduced to a caricature from a Jim Carrey movie... Besides, "Liar, Liar" that is!

Can you explain, please?

Thanks.
