    I am now really considering voting for John McCain if Hillary wins the nomination

    I am toying with the idea of not wasting my vote on McCain. I would have to live with myself and cannot facilitate another war with Iraq.

    Instead I have been thinking of Cynthia McKinny from the Green Party. She was a congresswoman from Georgia who took on George Bush

    Google Cynthia and find out more about her. She is quite good.

  • Democrats will facilitate a 3rd Bush term with McCain

    Hillary has already sown the seeds for a McCain Presidency by boasting his credentials over Obama's. The Democratic Party is self destructing before our very eyes. After Hllary's comments on McCain, Ferraro's dissing of Obama 3 times in 24 hours, Hillary's negative attack ads, does anyone really think that the party will unite after June? How would the Dems have felt if Obama had made those brutal remarks? Anyone think he would have gotten a free pass on that? The media today is quite disingenious about Obama's Mississippi win but does not invoke that Obama won in Wyoming too.

    I hear that Keith Olberman has a stinger today on his MSNBC show for Hillary today.

    When McCain does win come November, Hillary will be seen as an active participant in this debacle.

    me? i think she's bad for jews - no friend of mine. all this goes to show what is so wonderful about obama - he's able to fit both of us into the same lifeboat.

    Sure Sugar. Of course AFTER Obama is ripped off his nomination. Please tell me why McKinney is bad news for Jews? I looked at your website and did not see anything that would have suggested that. Maybe I did not thoroughly read.

    Just imagine. You and me in that lifeboat floating in the dreamworld of miscegenation. And Obama has made that so respectable.

    Now you are acting like my guilt ridden other half who wants so desparately to vote for the first black president, that I am going to throw him into some drag paraphernalia (sugarman, I might turn into an angry black lesbian yet) and throw him a pity party with kleenex and all.

    These primaries have been so topsy turvy that anything is possible. The possibilities are endless. McCain may implode. Hillary is on the ropes with the Spitzer reminder of husband philandering (do we need to hire a Bill watchman if she gets into office?), Ferraro has resigned kicking and screaming, and PA may just turn out to be Hillary's Waterloo. Obama might get some tough.

    Who said we don't have enough drama in our lives? This soap will continue.

    My pariah progeny thank you for your forgiveness even as they keep me encumbered with entertaining their knuckleheaded friends who come here for free entertainment before they push me back into the attic. It's all that genetic engineering that has got me to where I am.

    Hello?

    But then we can all pull back a little and consider that Oprah is on the side of Barack Obama.

    Very well said indeed. This is Hillary and her right of center colleagues playing on the insecurities of the Reagan Democrats. These are people who will most likely vote for McCain anyway, because he represents the politics of exclusion.

    If Obama were a white man, he would most probably have beat out HIllary and Edwards by now. Hillary knows what she is doing. She is playing to the fears and ignorance of people.

    But___who benefitted the most from Affirmative Action? White women. It's hard to give up that to a talented African American.

    This country is going to hell in a handbasket if a black man gets elected. But the country has already gone to hell in a handbasket, so who do we blame?

    Honest Bill "I did not have sex with that woman," and his honest wife whose halo keeps sliding off her head every time she demonizes BO? But she apologized to the African American community over and over again yesterday, something she almost never does. Lesson: she needs the AA vote. She is toast. Honestly
