    Rosenkavalier

    Many of the Obama supporters you speak about are the most likely to be serving in that war in Iraq--and no I don't believe they deserve all the blame for not supporting your Democratic candidate of choice.

    Obama has learned to speak to a new generation that doesn't have party ties or loyalties. If Obama can learn this skill, either the Democratic party needs to reward him for it by giving him the nomination, or it needs to insist that the winning candidate learn from his approach.

    If the Democratic party won't nominate a person who can reach the same number of voters that Obama can or more--then they (we) deserve to be out of power for a hundred years--at least.

    Don't you think?
