“With a click of a mouse in the Mid-Atlantic, we could get thousands of people there. But in the interest of party unity we are not encouraging a protest. We don’t think a scene is helpful as we try to bring the party together.”

EXACTLY!!!! This is why I support Obama. The last adult left in this nominating process.

Based on current polls ...

Senator Obama 290 electoral votes
Senator McCain 248 electoral votes

Since you only need 270 to win ... he wins.

It's time to join together to work towards electing a Democratic President with a workable Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate.

This time do something smart and vote for your wallet, vote for the economy, vote for the environment, vote for jobs.

Vote for the smartest candidate in the race, a real leader (and no that's not McCain -- not by a long shot)

Vote Democratic 2008 -- don't let the corporations and their Republican stooges win again.

I truly hope that Obama supporters do not attend. I think by not attending we are taking a much higher road. I can't believe Clinton is encouraging what could become a riot. Does she really have the best interest of the dem party or this country at heart? I think not! Who's the true patriot???

I live in CT, trust me, if they needed me, Washington DC is available to me with a few hours drive. I'd do it in a heartbeat to show my support for Obama. He is totally correct, if they put out a call or a click, they would have tons of supporters there. They did not call or click so I am able to be home (or somewhat so) on Sat, which means chauffeur for swimming lessons, soft and t-ball and a No Child Left Inside event at a state park. Which, of course, my kids are happy about (being here, not there).

But if needed, I'd be there.

I don't hear the Clinton people making any attempt to calm protesters.

Sounds like a plan, to me.

And would SOMEONE start pointing out with BIG arrows that the original decision to exclude FL and MI was approved by a rules committee LOADED with Clinton-supporters...including Howard Ickes!!!! (Obama only had one supporter on the rules committee at that time.)

So,please...point out the hypocrisy of Hillary's ridiculous chant to 'count all the votes'. (

Mine already doesn't 'count'--I'm from a caucus state. And if I lived in FL or MI, it still wouldn't count--cuz I would have been one of the **millions** who voted in another party's primary or who didn't bother to vote since I was told it "didn't count" by Mrs. Clinton herself.)

This is different. People saying they won't protest. And they are willing to compromise. How do you think the HRC supporters will feel protesting by themselves? I personally think more highly about Obama and his supporters for not wanting to make the meeting a circus.

Obama (liar) can't get his great-uncle's WWII record straight, anf he can't win a big state (Oh, excuse me, he did win N.C. and Va., but what about about those bedrock Dem. states like Cali., N.J. Fla.,Texas, Ohio, Penn. and Mass.?) The sad thing is Obama outspent Clinton 3-to-1 in Penn., and STILL lost by a landslide.

RACE CARD WATCH: How soon will Obama (and Axelrod) play the race card against McCain?

No protesting by Obama supporters.I think Obama is a true class act. I wish Hillarys camp was the same.Then may be the VP thing would have been possible . But no she is willing to kill the party or hope that Obama has a mishap.That is disgusting and befitting of a unsavory people like the Clintons and the Bushs.

Obama has made a farce of the primary process since day one, what does another day mean. David Wilhelm and Obama supporter who was mentioned in the Rezko Trial, has nerve to comment of the run to the White House, half if not more of Obama Campaign supporters have association with the Chicago/Illinois political arena. "Pay and Play", policies of Chicago/Illinois politics.

Obama is handling the meeting on Saturday the right way, but, as I'm sure he and his campaign know, he should be on the lookout for dirty tricks from the Hillary folks. They cannot be trusted.

I really don't get how HRC & her supporters can argue such garbage with a straight face. Have they absolutely no morals??? HRC disgusts me -- but I just got to vent by voting early for Obama today in the SD primary. South Dakotans waited their turn--don't disenfranchise us by having no consequences to those that didn't.

The DNC needs to seat MI/FLA in a fair manner. Hillary wants to disenfranchise all votes not Clinton.

It is going to get ugly on the 31st.

Poor Hillie has been cheated, demeaned, insulted, lied to, disrespected, had dirt kicked in her face, and has been referred to as a female. Enough! Go to dnc.org and tell Howard Dean to instruct the super delegates to make their decisions and announce them by the end of the primaries. Maybe then Hillie can quit suffering so.

Let's hope this can be resolved in a friendly way. PLEASE!!!!

Hillary—please go. You have so many emotional problems. Face up to them. And get help. "America the Beautiful" should not get caught up in you and Bill's personal fight.

You really made a lot mistakes—own up to them and move on! Take responsibility for your part in the problems of your campaign and your bad behavior.

Having you run our country is a frightening concept. You are not a team player and you are a HUGE liar. We have had enough of that. PLEASE GO!!!!!!

The Clinton supporters, outside, won't have a clue as to how the meeting will be progressing. We sitting at our computers will fare quite well in the information up-date department.

I too speculated that some Hillary committee members would abandon her, out of a sense of decency, just like many of her supers defected.

I don't see Sen. Clinton stopping until she gets what she wants - 100% representation. Like she says, she isn't a quitter.

Unfortunately, I think she has only just begun, and we'll see her try to take this matter to court.

Be strong, DNC. May cooler heads prevail.

What he is going to have to do is distance himself as far from the Clintons as he can after he claims the nomonation. The last thing he needs between now and November is the Clinton Clowns popping out of a little car and faining support. Thats the circus he'll need to avoid.

I have tremendous respect for David Bonior. I hope that Michigan, in particular, can be resolved in a way that benefits the Democrats in the fall. It is a state much like Illinois, with a conservative rural portion and a more liberal downstate urban portion. The democrats certainly do not want to lose it, and shame on Ms. Granholm for this mess, quite honestly.

Senator Obama and his team are letting the messiest part of this primary fizzle out, and good for them. If the Clintons think it is in their best interest to encourage an ugly display by their people at this point, I can't understand why.

Isn't it time we all behaved like adults?

Democrat rules! — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:52:47 GMT

I am glad that Obamacans are not going to protest like the Clintonites. It is pretty low class to do that because there is enough pressure from the whole DNC to get this thing resolve. There is no need for external pressure because they know what they have to do and they will come up with a solution.

Clintonites should follow the Obamacans example and stay home and leave the rules and bylaws committee to do their job. It will be broadcasted live so watch it on TV and go to the blogs and make their opinion known.

Infact, email the DNC now so that they know what you want them to do.
