It is quite funny to read the quotes of all the Clinton supporters who would not vote for Obama when he becomes the Dem nominee... My question is why? McCain is against everything Clinton and Obama stand for! Basically, all you are saying is that you are like those kids who go crying to mom after your team loses in a fair fight. So, go ahead and vote for McCain. Just remember how much blood is on your hands for okaying Bush's 3rd term!!!

Will Hillary fall in line behind the obvious victor (Obama) or appeal the DNC decision and continue the Obama-Mama-Drama? Part of me wants her to continue acting the fool; the other part wants her to disappear! Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind! http://klintons.com

A few things... 1) Someone tell them that the RNC did the same thing with the Republicans in Florida this year in penalizing them. I don't see them getting their panties in a was over that. 2) Those people protesting aren't real Democrats. They're feminists. They just want a woman in the White House and can't stand to see her being beat so they cry that the race was stolen, sexism, etc... 3) That woman who called Obama an empty suit like George Bush is just laughable. 4) These supporters are just beyond crazy.

"CASTING FAKE PEARLS BEFORE REAL SWINE" Harold Icky's selective amnesia and the stupid deplorable behavior of Hillary supporters yesterday was magnificent. It was fascinating to see him scribble away with his 'purple crayon' making up stuff on paper to say later instead of listen to the other members deal with reality. At the very bitter end, Harold looked visibly sick when he said Clinton wished to take the Michigan decision to the credentials committee. He can't even believe himself anymore! I can't wait to read his tell all book on the beach in a couple of years and find out what he really thinks.

I heard Hillary will be running as an INDEPENDENT. Interesting, huh? Apparently a lot of potential McCain voters will cross party lines if she does.

Open Letter to Clinton Campaign Dear Hillary, Maggie, and the rest of the staff, I just would like to say that your campaign continues to astound me. As someone who has followed this election closely - I have never seen a democrat run in such an unscrupulous fashion. I won't go into every last detail of my thoughts and feelings on your divisive and polarizing nature....but here are a couple of thoughts on this latest outburst from Harold Ickes at the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting - 1. If Harold or your campaign had an ounce of integrity - Harold as a self-proclaimed spokesman and senior advisor to your campaign should have at the very least abstained from voting on the rules and bylaws committee. 2. Harold's outburst was nothing more then political grandstanding, you know that, I know that, the media who has treated you with kid gloves knows that, and the American people who you are trying to get to buy into your psychological warfare will figure that out. I wish the rules committee had given you everything you wanted. Because if they had - you would have no more fuzzy math to rely on to somehow tout that you might win this thing and on the flip side you would lose your argument that you were robbed of this nomination. In addition, because of your obscure and ridiculous popular vote math – you have further diminished your party’s nominating process and discounted the states entirely that choose to caucus instead of hold primaries. Do the right thing for this country - I know that is difficult for you and your staff - for a whole host of reasons - but the time has come for you to make your exit gracefully from this nominating process. What you have done in this campaign is shameful for many reasons but most of all it is shameful because you have not advanced the core values of women in your campaign. You have proven repeatedly to the country and the world that you do not represent core female values - honesty, integrity, fairness, and equity. The wrong woman is not the right answer and I will never be bullied, guilt tripped, or misled into believing that if I do not vote with my v -j -j I am somehow not interested in the advancement of women in this country. Shame on you Hillary Clinton you could have done and been so much better in this campaign and in turn for this country.

A modest suggestion. Given the outcome of the Florida-Michigan, perhaps it's time for all Clinton backers to start thinking outside the box - and establish a third major party - to let Hillary run on a new, separate ticket in 2008. Call it the "Working Majority" party, and watch the fireworks! All indications are that, in a three-way split, Hillary could still take it all, and forge a way out of the ossified two-party system we've been stuck with.

I think Hillary Clinton's supporters looked like crazy maniacsat the Rules and Bylaws committee meeting. She needs to tell her supporters to cool it. They are not helping her at this point. I would never want to be associated with them and I am one of those 50 plus year old white women who are supposedly her base. If she were to somehow get the nomination, she would lose the general election because she has just turned too many Dems off.

DNC Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but also delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party.Obama proved Rev Wright was correct!!! Correct, right politically correct, that is. The fact that it is "painful" and took 20 years suggests that he agrees with these racists "under the covers". He resigned not necessarily because he wants to but because it is the only course open to him. he believes what is spewed at that so-called White hate church of Christ! WE DO NOT ACCEPT OBAMAS POLITICAL DAMAGE APOLOGY!!! SHOCKING Obama words: what he really thinks of white folks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI77cU3jsFs http://www.dontvoteobama.net An Obama Presidency Will Set Race Relations Back Decades Just this Sunday Father Michael Pfleger (a longtime friend and associate of Senator Obama) mocked Hillary Clinton & AGAIN ATTACKED WHTE PEOPLE at Obama's church OF 20 PLUS YEARS. "theres a whole lot of white people crying!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H11x6bMu4Y

Remember if McCain wins the presidency he will be nominating several supreme court justices. If a democrat wins the presidency (both Clinton and Obama are so similar in their policies and beliefs around those policies)those nominations will be completely different people. We can't afford a McCain presidency.

From what I saw on television yesterday, none of these um, women have been rolled over in a very long time. They were an embarassment to their candidate and their (alleged) gender.

Clinton supporters are angry because she was vilified, and Obama has repeatedly gotten a pass on things the majority of voters in November will not let him get away with. So interesting on Stephanopoulis this morning that George Will others were praising Obama for his political ruthlessness in dropping his church, stating that this type of political savvy is essential in running for President of the US. However, I recall Hillary being vilified as a ruthless, political opportunist for something as benign as leaving her name on the Michigan ballot. It's stuff like that that rankles fair minded people. Look out in November! People will either stay home (why even pretend that this is a representative democracy--the game is rigged) or write in Hillary (the popular vote choice). A third Bush term will NOT be blood on our hands...it will be blood on the hands of the pundits, msm, dnc(who lack courage and ALLOWED Obama to play the race card).

To pilking123: I will not vote for Obama because he is a hypocrite who has great rhetoric with no substance, no plan, just soothing words designed to lull those who only want change but are not concerned with what kind of change, and Obama does not tell how he will effect the changes he says he wants. Maybe so, maybe something else altogether, certainly a hypocrite for his religious problems, which for political expediency ONLY he publicly resigned from his "God Dam America" church of 20 years, HYPOCRITE, and his anti-American supporters and associates we already know about so I won't waste space reciting same here. I think the risk that Obama has a hidden agenda, that is very, very dangerous for America, is not a risk I am willing to take. I am also not willing to vote for McCain. Instead, I will write in a vote for Hillary in November and urge all those who would rather see Hillary as POTUS and agree that neither Obama nor McCain are worth a vote to write in Hillary on the General Election ballot in November - but absolutely check your local voting rules first to find out the procedure so your vote counts - it varies by location. Those voting on machines can ask for an absentee ballot and write in on that. But above all, check local rules. VOTE CLINTON 08!

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
