How come the Obamaites always feel that in the states where their saviour lost that the vote would have been closer if more people had voted. Remember FL where he lost by a landslide but of course he would have gotten more votes if he had campaigned there (he was the only candidate with TV ads). But those who voted for Hillary were passionate and didn't need an incentive to vote. Now it is Puerto Rico where the turnout was smaller than expected but Obama would have gotten all those votes if only the people had gone to the polls. That shows the Obama enthusiasm. Maybe he could have dangled some money under their noses or driven them to the polls himself. Hillary supporters needed no such incentives. But then we know that the no shows would have supported Obama. I thought it was Hillary who made up the stories to suit her situation. Well in spite of the lack of enthusiasm, the DNC gave the nomination to Obama. Shows where their brains are, in the same place as their nominee. That will be obvious when McCain becomes president in November.

Obamaites were always talking about Hillary stealing the election when she was ahead in superdelegates and they touted the will of the people. Now Hillary finished with the will of the people's vote and Obama was able to steal the nomination with the sleazy DNC. I was there and I saw firsthand the democratic (small d) process. The tables have turned but it is OK for Obama to have stolen the election. They are shouting with glee and still throwing slings and arrows too stupid to realize that without the help of Clinton supporters they are going no where. But what can you expect from a pack of hyenas. There is no way in Hades that the true Clinton supporters will vote for that racist, arrogant, nothing even if Hillary were on the ticket. Like Obama throws people under the bus, the Democratic party thru loyal democrats under the bus and we will not forget it. I have been a lifelong democrat but watching the DNC run ruffshod over the will of the people shows that democracy means nothing to them and we in turn owe nothing to the Democratic party. It is time for a strong 3rd party. In any case, people will be leaving and registering as independents. It will be McCain in November.

So Indigo, you have been on this thread for 3 weeks and 78 letters. You have been in this country 3 years and you say that you are a liberal.

That is good. Now you can vote for one of three candidates, Obama, McCain, or Barr. Which of these three do you think would serve our country best?

i've been a democrat since i was old enough to vote (1971) but i have dropped out and went independent. WHY? to many wimps and traitors and welfair wantabees. the republicans are holding back with the obama dirt, and will release it at just the right time. nobama can't win.I would have been more than willing to vote for obama in 8 years, after gaining some experence as the vice president. so I will vote for john mccain, as will most of my democrat friends. JUST SAY NOBAMA.

Most Hillary's supporters are passionate about her being nominee, so I guess they are all republicans too, huh?

Convenient....

Get real!

Indigo, nice try. Your boy is now John McCain. Vote for him with vigor.

she is the master of the big lie. over and over we have seen this. it continues to this day. her wins, her rules... do we want this woman anywhere near the white house now. or at 3 am. hope they get lost in their wilderness and leave us alone. her old female supporters are real pests too. no loss if their hysterics whirl them away either. i am one disgusted voter with their behaviors and will remember the next time now mailers come around. one punishes ones own here and she will be held accountable by me for showing up just how manipulable women can be and stupid as well. ferraro the ferrago included.

We need a smart and strong person to lead our nation. The problems we face are complex and require commitment. We will need friends at home and abroad.

Indeed, that's why we need a candidate with most focus, qualifications, energy, experience and commitment who is ready from day 1 to tackle issues and that person is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Someone has questioned Obama's religion. The goal of religion is "kind heart". Therefore, Barack Obama has become religious from his 46 years of living among a variety of people and through his choices has developed a kind heart.

Yeah the kind of kind heart which is accompanied by the willingness and the track record of hard work, instead of rushing to the top equipped only a few years of experience of...er, getting elected into a position of power. The kind of kind heart which is not so ready to throw everyone dear to your heart under the bus when you realize these people can't help you ANYMORE in your journey to the top.

Yep, that's why he's perfectly okay with stealing 4 delegates that are his opponent's.

He will greatly diminish the influence of lobbyists because of this preference for the people.

Yep that's why his donors are big corporations, some of which he's been despising as controlling the white house, that are disguised as average people or employees. One of his long-time fund raiser is being tried for 24 counts of criminal charges.

For Barack Obama is one of them. He is not a 'silver spoon' man like our current president.

Nope he's not, only he was created by a very corrupt chicago politics with very dubious characters and associations behind and around him.

He is the product of a home hit by early divorce. Yet great love from his mother and grand-parents, though poor, pointed the way. He had choices to make and sometimes he made the wrong ones. But he righted himself and continued on. His story is one common to all cultures and worlds.

Yep he righted himself by tossing his pastor(s), close friends and church under the bus. Soon enough his lovely wife will follow suit.

We are the sum total of our choices in life. And happily, the Democrats have chosen Barack Obama, a uniter of people everywhere.

Yep a uniter that sneakily sent KO's rant tape to the press to slant HRC's utterance while he said nice things in public. A uniter who is dumb enough to steal 4 delegates out of his opponent while he gains very little out of it while aggravating his opponent's supporters further. A uniter who stands mum and takes advantage of the bias of MSM and the obnoxious attacks on his opponents by the media and his crazy/irrational followers using race-card and sexism day-in-day-out.

Yep, he's that one candidate in a lifetime. We need him, for all rational reasons, we should want him to be the nominee of POTUS.

A case for loss of momemtum could be made after Obama losing big in PR, KY and WV. But he did well in OR, and of the national tracking polls shows his lead increasing:

Other polls show Obama building support in states in CA.

On the foreign policy front, Obama is also finding support:

You guys may be right, but a lot of people seem to disagree.

Well couldn't say it any better than Mickey Kovars. After following both these candidates closely throughout the campaign, and as a lifelong liberal Democrat, I frankly can't for the life of me think of one good reason to support Obama over Hillary.

She is infinitely more thoughtful, policy-focused, experienced and ready and highly capable of assuming the Presidency. I remain astounded at the wide-eyed, dazzled encomiums used by Obama supporters, who invariably can't tell you even 1 specific policy or idea of his they are familiar with--just "change", followed by "hope", and then more "change"!

And now that his campaign seems to have lost significant momentum in the face of very damaging additional revelations about his associates and history, I hardly think it's time for Hillary to step down. Actually I think it might be best for Obama to reconsider his whole candidacy, and whether it wouldn't be better for all concerned for him to back Hillary (thereby virtually guaranteeing a Dem in the White House), and then have 4-8 years to get some badly needed experience, and also purge himself from the embarrassing baggage of his past like

Wright, Ayres, Samantha Power, Robert Malley, etc. etc.

Does anyone in their right mind really think this guy is qualified and ready at this point to assume what's arguably the world's most powerful position?
