Attention Must Be Paid

She doesn't speak for me and I'm not an emotional nutbar and neither are the many others who are so fed up w/the DNC that they are willing to do something outrageous to get their attention. Too bad for all of us.

RON PAUL. I had forgotten all about him. My mom and husband liked him way back. She said you can still write him in on the ballot. Anyway I just don't want more of the same---more of what we have now--no one can argue the fadt that we need help---I respect McCain's service, but I just know nothing will change in Washington if he is elected.

Sorry don't agree with you. Without Clinton I am voting for McCain, not because of the reason you give, but because of the reasons you didn't give. Again when it comes to selection, you have selected a few choice ideas, and worn out facts. You don't speak for me!!

I struggle to understand the hullabaloo over Mr. Obama! As a black person living in America , I personally think it is a disgrace that folks rush to elevate a man who was complicit in the self-destruction of the black community. For 20 years he sat by and allowed trusting black folks to wallow in the self-defeatism dished out by Rev. Wright. This is the same defeatist thought that is echoed through the African-American community today. Where was the message of "HOPE & CHANGE"? Where was the "YES WE CAN" cry when it was needed most? Who better to transform that backward thinking group than someone unscathed by the 60s? Just think what could have been if Mr. Obama had shown a modicum of leadership (or at the very least walked away). But he did absolutely nothing! Just thinking of his non-action send chills through my bones and evokes a wellspring of sadness that will never be assuaged.
I am even more grateful today that I was blessed with parents whose vision have long transcended race. Failing that, I and my siblings could have easily been among the causalities of the missteps and missed opportunities that were there for the taking after the Civil Rights era. The selfless action by Martin Luther who paid the ultimate price is who should be lauded as being a hero "for all of us that have dreams and hope". That is, he did what was right without a single thought of the personal gains (or harm) to himself.

Finally, I would challenge every voter this November to think well on this and ask yourself if you could with a clear conscience give this man a pass. For we become who we are by the folks we look to as heroes

Its better to win or lose with your head high than to stoop for votes of racists like harriet and those on these blog.
Common, didn't we just beat and busted their qween without these women support?. What's the big deal about these soccer moms???.
We should be talking about the Hispanic votes and the rgistration of new young voters and black voters accross the country not these security moms!!!.
Let's talk of great news not yesterday news(soccer moms and Hillary).
Al Gore, a true World leader and the real democratic leader today endorsed Barack Obama. He has signaled that the democratic party is united behind Barack now and going forward!!!.
We also have Patti back and we hope she will proved Hillary a heartless and selfish person by helping Obama solidify the Hispanic vote!!!!.
Patti was unfairly singled out and dished by the Clintons after using her to win California, Nevada and Texas.The one thing we supporters want is payback bigtime!!!.

The very good news is that everything you are asking of Barack Obama he already does. He is respectful of women and he is fighting to make the lives of women better. He has addressed the wage disparity issue on many occasions, he supports reproductive choice, he has a plan to end a horrific war, and he has a health care plan that will provide insurance coverage to all Americans. He cosponsored the Violence Against Women Act, which was signed into law. He cosponsored Dru's Law which creates a nationwide sex offender database and requires greater monitoring of sex offenders upon their release from prison. Senator Obama introduced the Lead-Free Toys Act to require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban any children's product containing lead. In March 2008, the Senate passed a bill banning lead in all children's products - a ban that is similar to Senator Obama's proposal.

The primary campaign was mean spirited on many levels. I am a 47 year old, professional, white woman. I supported Senator Obama from the beginning of this ride after giving much consideration to both Clinton and Obama. I got myself elected as a delegate at my caucus, and then had to listen to the Clinton campaign talk about how the caucus voters "just don't count." It was extremely disappointing to hear this kind of banter.

Obama's approach fit mine better, it took nothing away from Hillary Clinton's incredible contribution to our country. It took nothing away from those who decided to support her for many great reasons.

I have been accused of being a traitor to my gender, not believing in equal rights, and I have been bombarded by some of the meanest emails, filled with vial lies about Senator Obama's patriotism, religion, and indeed race, that I could ever imagine. The emails have attacked him, his wife, his kids, and any one supporting him.

He should not have made the "sweetie" comment. I will agree with that.

He does not underestimate women. He credits his mother and grandmother with so very much. Both of his books are very enlightening regarding nearly every aspect of his life. His sister in Hawaii has a PhD. His wife is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard (Law degree). His mother was an anthropologist who traveled the world. His maternal grandmother was a vice president of a bank (when banking was indeed a man's world). Barack Obama is surrounded by strong, accomplished, fantastic women. That says a lot to me.

Welcome aboard Anna. I understand the pull to have a woman in the White House. I also understand the pull to have Barack Obama in the White House. Hold him to his standards. I'm willing to say he will live up to the highest expectations you can throw at him and he will support the dreams and aspirations of all of America's daughters.

Ms. Quidlen got it wrong. Its not Obama that we're angry with. Its his supporters. His supporters are the ones who are going to lose this race for him. The level of disrespect they have for not only McCain supporters but for Hillary's is like nothing I've ever seen. Its such a "Blinding, God-like" worship for him clinging to every word whether true or false and looking down on everyon else who differs in them in the slightest. I've never seen that before...oh, no I have. It's the same way that Bush supporters acted when he was running. Dont you guys find that scary???? I know two wrongs makes you even but there is a danger here. You are not looking at him. You're just looking at his ideas (Which were stolen from Hillary) I know you dont want to believe that but look at the past debates that they were in. When Hillary was asked questions and she was always asked first) she would have detailed information and agenda of what she wanted to do because she had to be prepared. Obama would just say "go to my website" and that was it. The press didnt want to turn up the heat on him b/c they didnt want to come accross as racist. But in the later debates he changed from referring people to his website to saying " I agree with Hillary" ???????!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!! And the press never jumped on him for that SNL did a parady proving it to be true. This is why we are MAD AND STILL ARE. Finally what Obama supporters think is that we will vote for him out of fear of no choice but the truth is. WE LOST OUR CHOICE and with the continue disrespect we should just sit this one out, or go on vacation. We're use to being not wanted and overlooked so just forget about. BOTH OF YOU.

Sucking up to women will not alter the fact that Obama is not qualfied to be president.
Nor does it alter the fact that the DNC and the media attacked Hillary and did all they could to ensure Obama's nomination; that did not sit well with some people who prefer to think and choose for themselves.

To those who choose not to vote democrat I say that they are boycotting their future and their own values when they choose to vote other than for the Democratic candidate.

That???s exactly how republicans are ahead of us: they have the discipline to vote for their candidate, regardless.

I guess that after all we are not who we say we are when we choose to vote against our own principles, and why? Because Obama is a male? Why else I ask, what else could it possibly be?

Give me a break! Grow up. Live up to your belief and not up to your prejudice.

Being a person of color is an inescapable burden in our culture. Of course Obama is sensitive to women's issues and civil rights in general. Compare McCain on women's issues:
McCain voted against raising the minimum wage and expansion of a federal children's health insurance program.
The waste of our national resources on the "permanent campaign" war is the 'appeal' of McCain.
We see teachers being laid off because we cannot afford the foreign war and to pay for our own country.
Luckily, the Iraqi's just rejected our demand to allow US to build additional bases in Iraq.

well, this is one woman who voted for HRC who will never in a million years vote for this liar Obama. By the way, McCain is not a right wing Republican. You should also state that Obama is a radical ultra left wing tax, tax, tax, tax, tax individual who will send this nation to ruins as did leaders of France.

This is for LMAO, I applaud your vision and fairness in thought...I too can't feel comfortable voting for someone who would have played audience to that Church for 20 years...you are right, that was a slam at the progress that has been made for any African American ...a lot of that message has to have been instilled in Obama's thought process as well as his Children...there is a lot to be weighed before November...

Obama owes Hillary Clinton nothing...he received more elected delegates than she did. Bill and Hillary Clinton had a turn in the White House. Based on her, they governed as a team. Clinton spent 8 years in the White House signing bills into laws that cheated hard working Americans out of jobs and their homes...Please... she is the old Washington that we need to get rid of. She trashed her campaign and is debt for millions of dollars that she wants Obama to payoff. She is not entitled...she brings nothing to the table but Bill Clinton and he will not un-ring the bell. Hillary Clinton failed...failed badly...and made women look bad all along the way...Now are we also suppose to change the rules and disregard the delegate count because Hillary Clinton is in the race...I don't think so...you better start thinking about your families and your own lives...and stop thinking about and crying over Hillary Clinton.

McCain is anti-women...he has never had the interest of women as a priority...not even when he dumped his sick and disabled 1st wife...but I am sure that the Hillary Clinton supporters think that he will stand up for them when he did not stand with his 1st wife..

Please also consider the Rush Limbaugh Chaos Plan....Republicans voted for Hillary Clinton as planned...THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF VOTING FOR HER IN NOVEMBER... so the popular vote count that she got contents hundreds of thousands of Republican votes focused on positioning her to run against McCain...THE HILLARY CLINTON POPULAR VOTE IS POLLUTED....BY REPUBLICANS THAT BROKE AN ELECTION LAW.

SHE FAILED...SHE FAILED BADLY.....

thebm4life: Obama is unelectable!!!!!!!

Writing in Hillary's name on the ballot is just like the dopes who wrote in Nader's name - and will produce the same result. No one will be that stupid... again.

Good to be back home.

NOBAMA!!!

I believe Obamas problem is much broarder based than just women, how about the men that don't like the way a woman was treated to character assassination, gender bias, and discounted by an Obama campaign that was supposed to be above the kind of politics that divides people rather than unites them to work together?
In addition his comments in San Francisco show as snobbish attitude toward those democrats of lower income status that are the lifeblood of what democrats have always been about but who don't have liberal college educations. The Clinton's both connected with this part of the electorate and Obama doesn't. What will he do about this critical part of the electorate? He connects with the elite liberals, but not with working class people more interested in action than eloquent speeches.
