The racial issue is going to be big and furthermore, McCain is going to benefit from it. He may even come out looking like a hero because he is going to tell all the racists where to go giving the impression that he's so nice. These Republicans are masters at this kind of a game. This is the game plan: Their core lobs their slurs and McCain will talk about how awful that kind of thing is. Blah, blah, blah. McCain will benefit from all the controversy by looking like he is a peace maker saving the country from a possible meltdown if the other candidate is elected.

After Bush was elected a second time amidst all the Iraq turmoil, I began to realize that Americans can be totally self-destructive and incredibly gullible. Yeah, I'm negative about November...I think I have good reason to be.

It is a obvious that Hillary's win here shows that there are real problems in November for the Democrats if Obama is the candidate. Many, many voters said they would not vote for him (only 37% who voted for Hillary said that they would vote for him in exit polls). The Democrats can discount their warnings if they desire, but they may find themselves very red-faced in the end.

The West Virginia vote is a temper tantrum coming from the voters. Of course, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Rhode Island should have warned Democrats that Obama will have real problems winning. These voters wanted to get their point across very firmly but whether they did with deaf superdelegates I don't know. Democrats don't have a very good track record at picking presidential winners. They like to commit political seppuku.

Hillary won the popular vote quite handily in Texas and that says more about electability than anything else. Certainly, the convoluted rules in Texas for apportioning delegates had everything to do with his getting more delegates. However, the voters today are screaming and the Democrats had better listen. It is a harbinger of what's to come.

If the Democrats don't want to listen to the voters, if they are dead set on losing the election, there isn't a thing sensible people can do who can read the handwriting on the wall. Obama is not electable. That's clear. How many warnings does the party need; they've been getting them since Super Tuesday? I guess they are just self-destructive and I, who have been a Democrat all my life, have to sit back and watch them throw away an election. It is absolutely disgusting, but more than that it is embarrassing!!!

This is absolutely insane!!! I was an Edward's fan and he does something stupid like this! There is no hope for the Democrats. They are simply and utterly without a clue about the people!!!!!!!

Edwards's endorsement of Obama at this time is actually infuriating to average Democrats who have been saying in no uncertain terms since February in important primaries that they do not want Obama to be the nominee. So what do Edwards and Richardson do? They endorse Obama right after a stinging defeat, throwing mud at us. This does not sit well and will not bring the party together. It looks staged, set up, and self-interested.

The Democrats are pulling a Bush type of mistake. The world told Bush not to invade Iraq. How does he respond?---he invades. The people have said not to nominate Obama. What do they do...endorse him. Same thing!

Naral's endorsement does not impress me in the least. Obama is not a winner for the Democrats. The people have been saying this since February. Why won't Democrats listen? Not that I care particularly what Naral does. It just isn't that significant nor will it assuage voters. The same goes for the endorsement by John Edwards. It reflects badly on his judgment!

Obama won all those delegates in red states heavily populated with blacks. Also, all those caucus wins are not an indication where the Democratic heart lies. Yes, Obama is attractive to blacks, the young, and liberals but he is not attractive to older Democrats, working Democrats, and moderate Dem's. He has gotten many popular votes but not all Dem's vote in the primaries. Voters in W. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Indiana, California , New York, and others have clearly indicated they are not sold on Obama. In fact, many, too many, say they'll vote for McCain before they will vote for him. They are not making idle threats. The rebellion is for real!! Unfortunately, the Democrats are not listening. Party leaders are acting like Bush...stubborn. They think they can push him down the throats of average Americans. It isn't gonna happen!!!

Obama has not yet received the nomination and if he does, millions of voters will be mighty displeased. Endorsements from Naral and John Edwards will not convince skeptical voters that Obama is right for America. They don't know enough about him and his associations in the past leave many doubts about him. The Democratic leadership can ignore votes like W. Virginia and PA if they want to, but they do so at the likely scenario of losing the election in November. Since February, in important primaries in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, Indiana, the voters have been giving warnings. Last night's vote was emphatic and dramatic. No Democratic candidate has won the presidency without W. Virginia since 1916. Also, Ohio is a bellwether state and Hillary carried very handily there. Obama is marked for loss and I do not want him to be our candidate. He is also the least known and the least experienced. I have no confidence that he can win and John Edwards and Naral cannot convince me.
