Watching the tube this morning it was like a telethon. Seriously what on Black Jesus's earth does anyone care what Robert Johnson (founder of Ebony and BET) thinks? Maybe it's time for Obama's own supporters to stop playing the race card.

Now, wasn’t it ol’ former President Stereotype and his wife Ms. Stereotype who insisted that, in the holy name of “diversity,” and REGARDLESS of qualifications, people of pallor should step aside and let people of color take advantage of every opportunity. And wouldn’t that agenda include political opportunities, including the office of the president. Wasn’t this idea a ‘liberal’ idea that had something to do with history lessons coupled to indoctrinated media racists who think in terms of the infinite, eternal, but entirely illusory “debts and dues” of “racial identity,”

(i.e., stereotypes) instead of REAL personal identities.

And didn’t the Democrats insist that “justice n’ equality” is served equally well with liberal-led, government enforced color judgements, as when justice and equality rewards only the meritorious and penalizes only those PERSONALLY responsible for an evidentially established crime... real crimes and real perpetrators, established by individual names and unique events, places, and times as opposed to affirmative action’s presumption of “racial" criminals and victims established by meaningless statistics that prove only color coded differences but never their cause.

So, Hillary, step aside...it was your idea to institutionalize white discrimination/black preferences and you certainly deserve no exclusion from your own racist stupidity.

to concede and shake Obama's hand in Democratic Party fraternal spirit.

Because the longer she delays this, the more set in their nutty wacky ideas her followers get.

SHE NEEDS TO CONCEDE and IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN SOON.

Tell her to concede.

@ Nancy Kallitechnis

-Thus, it is possible that Clinton will be the nominee.-

But highly improbable, the party is not interested in taking on Bill's baggage.

@ slancio103

-I vote Obama/Webb.slancio103-

look more carefully at Jim Webb. He is a right-winger.

@ myiq2xu

-The nominee will be selected in August at the convention in Denver. No sooner-

So, by your logic, John McCain is not yet the republican nominee. Both are technically 'presumptives'. Barack will enjoy an avalanche of delegates in the coming days to add to the approx. 80 he gained yesterday. Stay tuned.

Pelosi and I think Reid have said that the process should end when the primaries ended. Well, they've ended. I think they have a role to play in telling Hillary the simple fact that she has lost. Losing and winning: it's not nearly as difficult of a concept as she and some of her supporters here think.

And all this egotistical "ME FIRST" clinging to the spotlight will ensure a McCain victory. If she really cares about the issues she says she cares about, she will throw her full support behind the Democratic nominee and do what she can to ensure he gets elected. Sadly, she seems more interested in herself.

But not since William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and Woodrow Wilson in 1912 have the Democrats nominated a candidate so new to the national stage.

Really? Because I seem to remember some obscure governor of Arkansas running and winning, or something like that. I had never heard of him... dammit! What what his name? Oh, yeah, I think maybe it was Clinton.

"Unifying" behind Obama is to accept the following:

- New Liberal Fascist brownshirts on the internet and in the MSM telling what remains of the old democrats what to do and what to think, no questions or protestations allowed. If you don't do what they say they will spread all manner of lies and propaganda to destroy you, as they did to the Clintons.

- The Democratic Party becomes hostage to the Black Vote. 98% bloc voting for Black candidates. Not just in this primary, but in all elections, local, state and national. A gun pointed at the head of all Democratic officials at all levels.

- The death of the Clinton Center. A surge to the Hard Left by the what remains of this political party, in the manner of MoveOn.org, Michael Moore, Rev. Wright, et al. This is not your parents' Democratic Party anymore. That is dead.

The only way to prevent this from happening is for Obama to lose the general in November. It's your choice. It's your vote. Don't be railroaded. McCain will have at most a single term and the House and Senate will be dominated by Democrats. Don't give the party away to these radicals.

...seem to be out in force this morning, and unusually irrational. Soon they will be demanding that the evil, incompetent Obama make Clinton his VP, which will be a new flavor of irrationality.

That being said, an Obama/Clinton ticket has its merits. I think Clinton can make the case that she has earned the VP slot, coming in second in a race that was close to a statistical tie in the popular vote. It would maximize democratic voter turn-out in November (a large number of die-hard Clinton supporters wouldn't be sitting home or voting for McCain).

However, that ticket has significant weaknesses (the same weaknesses as a Clinton/Obama ticket). Most importantly, neither candidate has significant, long-term foreign policy credentials. The ticket would also bring out the anti-Clinton crazies in the republican side. If she does end up with the VP slot, I think they would need to immediately foreground the role of someone like Biden or Webb in the cabinet.

You're funny. Of course, now that it is summer in Wisconsin I do notice that my skin tone is getting darker... perhaps "radically" darker. Will my liberal white guilt make me vote for Obama this November? Hmmmm. Nope. My sense that he has a lot more to offer than McCain will. Neither of the two Democratic candidates were in my top three at the start of this race. One of them moved up in my eyes and the other one became less likable to me over time... Nonetheless, I would have/will vote for the Democrat this November... call me a radical.
