  The petition is ridiculous

  I am an Obama supporter and this petition stinks. You know, there IS a series of primaries on Tuesday. I would like to see how it plays out. Frankly i agree with one earlier poster that i really don't see any problem with this going to the convention, if necessary.

  You know, at the end of the day, we had better realize that we are fighting against MCCAIN and his ilk who want us to spend another 100 years in the middle east with our big guns and zipped lips, exhausting our troops, their families and our countries financial resources. THEY think its 1942...or 1972.

  We had better realize THAT'S what we're fighting. However this primary race ends, I am committed to seeing to it that either Obama or Hillary take the place of the horrible Bush administration and those who would seek to continue its legacy.

  And the TRUTH is, if we all had (and displayed) that same level of commitment, even as we cast our primary votes, NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WOULD BE ABLE TO WIN. PERIOD.

  (Imagine for a moment the FEAR the republican party would feel if they heard us ALL saying that we plan to vote the party no matter who is nominated? Imagine as YOU cast your vote for Hillary and I for Obama we BOTH agree - and let them KNOW - we're voting democrat in November. Just imagine their fear and hopelessness they'd feel! We've had 5 times their turnout in the primaries. We can't be beaten if we WAKE UP).

  P.S. You want to pass around a petition? How about you pass around something effective? Encourage people to pledge their support to the DEMOCRAT in the general election, no matter who they so ardently support. Do something worthwhile.
