HRC will win because she has substance on the issues and cares about people from her heart. She had those people on stage to let us know she listens to all ethnic groups and has an ear to all of our issues and problems. HRC is quite a person. NOt alot of flash but real depth and substance. She is who should be our president.
Hey, I'm there for any Democrat.
But will you be there for me? ;)
This is a pretty funny article on SLATE...

I'm sure, in Clintonian style, you feel his pain!
If Obama gets the nomination he gets my support and vote. All the way to the inevitable defeat of the cult of the naive.
I was in Ottawa yesterday and took a tour of the Houses of Parliament. The young man who was our tour guide quickly figured out that my husband and I were American and began peppering us with questions about the Presidential election. He couldn't have cared less about the Republicans — all he wanted to talk about was the Democratic race. He was clearly impressed with both Clinton and Obama and thought the election was incredibly exciting. For the first time in many years in Canada, I was a little bit thrilled to be American again.
So I have a plea: Can we please just stop sniping at one another? The Democratic Party has two extraordinary people running to be its nominee. No matter who gets it, the party is going to make history. Compare that to the clowns on the other side and I'd say we have a lot to be thankful for in these two candidates. In November, let's make one of them President.
Thanks for always knowing exactly what to say.
That's all...just sending out some well-deserved kudos to you!
I'm trying to just think positive, vote positive, and like you, I am hoping that Obama is still in the race after today!
... or at least the delegate math. It's unfortunate that Wednesday's headlines will scream "Clinton Wins California!" or "Obama Wins California!" when in reality it looks like it's going to be a very close race with the nominating delegates likely being split equally. Depending on the distribution of the vote, it's even possible that the candidate who wins the total popular vote may not win the most nominating delegates. (Check the results from NH and NV, by the way, where despite Clinton's 'victories' Obama edged her out on delegates due his more broad support.)
I don't think this race is going to be decided today, and I hope the media is responsible in how it reports the results. But I won't hold my breath on that one.
I'm surprised that ther hasn;t also been an appeal to Japanese Americans because Obama's best friend in Hawaii was African-Japanese. The pseudonym is "Ray" but the frien's actual first name is Keith. Sadly, while the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and David Axelrod, the smooth operator from Chicago, are leading Barack to glory everything has gone pear-shaped for Keith. After serving time for narcotics violation, he found himself homeless on the streets of LA, I think. ABC had a program on this man last year. You weren't watching? I bet Karl Rove was. I'm a little superstitious and can't hekp noticing that R is not a lucky letter for Obama. "Ray", Rezko, Rove and then there are the Republicans who haven't felt so cheerful in quite a long time.
If you wanted to avoid petty sniping, namecalling, half truths and wild accusations, you came to the wrong place, and clearly you're in the wrong party. Why fight against the Right when we can beat each other up all by ourselves?
There is no immolation like self-immolation
Whether you support Senator Obama or Senator Clinton, it would be a disaster if this nomination is actually decided by the super delegates...and what I mean by that is that the super delegates voted against the popular vote delegate at the convention. If this happens the party would be almost irreparably split. I hope that Senator Clinton or Senator Obama both work to make sure that that doesn't happen. Given the hard feelings generated in both camps I fear that this won't happen.
You know, your brand of cynicism is basically the same worthless dreck that has been shoved down voters throats for decades.
The basic ideology of "It isn't going to change so why bother?" that leads to nothing changing. The message which keeps liberals home and America deadlocked in a two party state where people don't so much vote for someone as against someone else, where what matters isn't the greater good, but the lesser evil.
It is pissing on the ideal of hope in the name of the ideal of despair, and then smugly patting yourself on the back when things continue to go wrong.
And that is what Hillary offers the Democrats - just another lesser evil. At least some Democrats feel comfortable voting FOR Obama, if it comes down to Clinton versus McCain? It will be a vote against McCain just like a vote for Kerry was against Bush.
My Bad.
That being said, what is the option? It means that the general election didn't decide it, that no candidate won decisively.
This is what our founding fathers wanted with the electoral college. If there are more than two parties, it typically would force the election into the House of Representatives, which is were the founding fathers really wanted it decided. Heaven forbid the election be decided by the people. Instead, it forces the two-party system.
What I really like about this piece Joan is that you capture a little of the excitement in your prose. It's been a grueling exhausting battle moving toward the finish line--finally.
And the proponents here on Salon, still jibbing at one another at least aren't hostile and promising revenge if their guy or gal don't win. That's more important than the spelling.
I just want these bloody corrupt fear mongers out of office so bad it hurts. Truth be told, I'd vote for a tree if I thought it could do the job. Instead I've got two of the best candidates I've ever seen.
The figure I'm looking for is the total of Dem voters vs. Republicans, and some insight into the electoral process if there is another chance the person elected president does not become the president. I don't think I can take it if it happens again.
I'm off to the polls at last!
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
