After the first round of voting, Clinton came in first with 185 backers, followed by Obama with 181, former Sen. John Edwards with eight and three uncommitted. With Edwards now unviable, his backers, along with the uncommitted voters, were given 15 minutes to realign themselves, as Clinton and Obama supporters tried their best to woo them. Soon, the results of the second round were announced: Clinton, 189. Obama, 187. That yielded 40 delegates for Clinton, and 39 for Obama. "Yeah! Yeah!" shouted Danny Homan, a Clinton backer from Iowa who came to monitor the proceedings. He was crushed by her defeat at the caucuses back home. This time, he found cause for celebration.

I CANT WAIT FOR LAURA TO RUN, SO BUSH CAN SNEAK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN!!!

bush-clinton-clinton-bush-bush??????clinton???

POWER CORRUPTS and two families have had a stranglehold on our "democracy" for 20+ years.

AND PEOPLE STILL FALL FOR THE EXPERIENCE CARD HOOK LINE AND SINKER.

as a first time voter I can see why so much of America is apathetic towards politics these days.

the thought that the same family will be in the white house for more than eight years should be UNCONSTITUTIONAL; it is an absolute ABOMINATION that should not even be CONSIDERED.

if we wanted the same family to rule the country why did we throw a litlle tea party in Boston hundreds of years ago?

i think Bill Clinton did some good things while he was President, but???

I AM DISGUSTED THAT ANYONE CAN EVEN THINK ABOUT VOTING THE CLINTONS BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
