    Dems should not let the heat of the moment influence future behavior!

    I can't believe that there are Democrats saying they can't vote for Hillary if she is the candidate. Of course, they should vote for her...Do we want McCain or Romney or any Republican in the White House again? They have dragged this country down so far, it is incredible. McCain insists that Iraq is absolutely necessary...Romney, too. It is so disheartening to see political rancor get in the way of good sense. Hillary is a Democrat...she is not perfect, nor his Obama!

    No, I do not believe that a black candidate will be elected...not anytime soon.
