I'd be curious to know which of the media started the "If you're for Hillary, how many of you wouldn't vote for Obama?" and vice versa polls. That's when the infighting within the party seemed to get really riled up. Like the Democratic party is being manipulated to keep the fight going to keep up the ratings.

I keep hearing the democratic thing to do is to seat all the delegates - but nothing could be further from the truth. The democratic process is about discussion, debate, compromise, and living with the results even when they may not be exactly what you wanted. This is exactly the process the DNC followed. They met, debated, and decided that 4 states could have early primaries. States interested in early primaries were encouraged to submit their applications, Florida and Michigan did, along with over a dozen other states. Four were selected, which did not include Florida and Michigan. It also didn't include a lot of other states. None of those states elected to move up their primaries - they lived with the results. But not Florida and Michigan - in an election year where the democratic party has a real opportunity to not only win the White House but also make strong gains in Congress, Florida and Michigan decided to throw a spanner in the works. Are we saying the democratic process is one were we discuss, debate, compromise, reach a result - and then those that don't like it are free to do whatever they want? I don't think so. Of course, I agree that it is not the voters fault that their leaders showed very poor judgement - hopefully the voters will take care of that problem come November - so I believe some accomdation is warranted, but as far as the Superdelegates from Michigan and Florida, the ones who created this mess - they should stay home!

Unfortunately, it may be more than a stain on the party. It may be the party's undoing this November.

Oh, so if you're a Feminist and Hillary isn't nominated, maybe you would rather vote for McCain? He's not sexist, not at all. He only called his former wife a cu^t in public, then divorced her and married a rich heiress instead.

And please, please tell me that Bill Clinton is not a sexist. Tell me Billy Boy doesn't think of women as sex toys that exist only for his cigar-using pleasure.

Oh, yes, the Democratic party is sexist, because they don't shoo in Clinton. My eye! Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have more balls between them than ten men. I think the Dems have pushed women forward in a very aggressive way. And good for them.

I understand that you are upset that your candidate hasn't prevailed. I'm sorry that this is a disappointment. But let's put the blame where it belongs. Hillary allowed herself to be out-campaigned. Maybe if she hadn't listened to all those MEN who ran Bill's campaigns she would have done better against Obama.

sebr01stl, I agree with you 100%. I guess the bigot also forgot to mention that the Republicans have been controlling Foriegn policy for the last 8 and it has been worse during that time then the 2 decades before it. Hollyroller and Daddyo is definitely grasping.....

Well everyone, enjoyed being here today. I am going to get ready to go to the beach and watch the shuttle launch (hopefully). Hope everyone has a great day and remember, you can agree to disagree, but you should be polite to those who don't share your views. When you use rhetoric and attacks it only diminishes your arguement more.

I'm 55, female, some college, but no degree. And I cannot imagine anyone basing their votes this year on anything more important than competence, honesty and integrity. It's no one's fault but her own that she has found herself losing. She hired like Bush does, out of loyalty rather than choosing the most competent. She told bold, outright, ridiculous lies. She had no time to to fight him on the issues because she was too busy channeling Karl Rove. He raised more money, kept a steady and well focused campaign team, had a better delegate stratagy, stood up 'again' against selling b.s. to the people that would be harmful too us (Iraq, then the gas tax), in both cases, she championed what was very bad for the country and one can assume that since she's not stupid she made her wants and needs a priority over ours, Added all together, he spent what percentage of his time being a uniter? And she spent what percentage of her time being a uniter? I won't fill in the blanks, you do it for yourself. The other day as my grandson was going to deal with a boy that was upset with him, I said, "Be Obama. Know what I mean?" He said over his shoulder, "Yeah, I know. I will. Back soon." My question is this, how many parents have suggested to their kids to 'be Obama,' and how many have instructed them to 'be Hillary' when they're dealing with someone upset? Who amongst us has thought for a minute, I want my daughter to grow up and behave just like Hillary?

Enough of this gender b.s. It's about competence, honesty and integrity. channell

I just dont think Obama can win. For example I love in Alabama and voted Kerry in the last election. Alabama is a VERY RED State so it is not a matter of race or party for me at all. Most people are the same way. There are only a few states that are close enough that a change could happen. Ohio and Florida being the two boggest electorial votes and I cant beleive that Obama thinks he can carry either one of those. If he does get Florida, Ohio, Texas and California. Hes is dead meat ... I mean he cant win,

swapez - i don't blame you.
i don't agree with you, but i don't blame you.
because on my part - if clinton steals the nomination, i'm sticking around for the riots, and then i'm moving to canada.

But now we DO know Obama. His dignity and politeness are a good example to my kids. He, however, is also displaying that he understands an old Clintonism: When your enemy is self-destructing, get out of the way.

TIME TO PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH TO OUR OWN CHILDREN AND THAT IS ON-LINE TACTICS!

YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! YOU HAVE BEEN INTERFERING IN THIS FOR DAYS, AND DAYS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, REPUBLICAN SUPPORTING PUKES!

I am in Orlando Florida, we have a group of over 1000 people that are going to vote republican in protest of the November elections if we do not get 100% of our votes counted as we voted for. Central florida is a key place in winning Florida.

I am amazed at all the mis-information here on all sides. Todays world seems to be all about the here and now. Not the future and the past. i loved the comment by lollie to be Obama. What does that mean? We know very little about him.Doesn't mean he isn't a great candidate but seriously, you have no better or different role model for your son? Wow, what would you have done if he weren't running? But it is honestly naive, well intentioned but niave none the less, to think you can sit down with your enemies and talk things out. It can hardly be done in families let alone cross religious and racial and ethnic lines. And to be fair, no matter who wins, the country has been sold long ago to corporate America. Lobbyists, special interests, etc. control all. Oh and I know, Obama is going to change all this. But he can't he if he wants. That would mean every Senator and Congressman would have to give up their perks. That would mean no pork barrel politics which would mean no pork monies flowing to districts, which would lead to their ouster by another candidate that would use those tactics. That would mean 4 years of Obama and 8 to 12 years of Republicans. Every nation, every civilization, every religion has a fall. The time is coming for USA, Christianity, Capitalism, etc. Look at the final Decades of the Roman Empire and compare to todays world. It is scary.
