Democratic Race All Over By May 20?

Will the Democratic nomination race wrap up May 20? The movement of Democratic superdelegates to presidential hopeful Barack Obama gained steam Friday with endorsements from a union president and two ...

ok here we go, 4 years of the Republicans again, as he wont be elected by those of us that back Hillary!

[For Obama in NJ]

I don't get why Hillary supporters would rather condem us all to 4 more years of War, High Gas Prices, High Food Prices and recession than back their own party if Obama is the nominee.

I get that some Obama supporters have been extreme is bashing Hillary which hasn't helped his case, but not all of us are like that. My whole family has been united in our backing of Obama since he announced his candidacy. We are a very mixed demographic of young and old, black, and white, new voters and old voters, college educated and not college educated. I presonally think that Barack Obama is what our country needs. I'm saddened that Some of Hillary's supporters are so "all or nothing" that they would throw away our future if she's not the nominee.

Please consider doing what is best for the country and uniting behind Obama as it is all but decided that he will be the nominee. We DO NEED YOU!!!

As for the voters in Florida and Michigan, I am sorry for them that their elected officals saw fit to throw away their votes, but Barack Obama is NOT responsible for that! ALL candidates signed the rules stating that because the primary was moved, the votes would not count. The candidates...all of them are trying to find a fair way to seat the delegates and count the votes. The problem with a revote is not that Barack doesn't want one, it is that the states don't want to come out of their own coffers to pay for one as the DNC will not cover the costs because the states KNEW what would happen when they broke the rules. If you want to punish someone with your vote in November, punish those from your state who nullified your vote, they are the ones responsible!!

Well then you go on and vote for McCain since obviously haven't had enough yet! I really hope you change your mind for the party's sake!

This election season has exposed the broad black racism in America that many knew was there all along. With 90+% of blacks voting for the Black Candidate it is clear that it has not been whites who have been playing racial political games with this election. If whites were to blindly vote race in such a racially partisan way it would rightly be called “racism”.
What ever happened to all that talk of judging someone by their character and not the color of their skin? I guess that’s just for whites since blacks clearly have not gotten the message that such racism is wrong.
“Change”?? It sure seems like just more of the same old Racial Double Standard to me.

What makes you think that "Hilbilly" Hillary would make everything better. Everyone is saying to vote her in and then McCain will easily win. If that is the case, McCain will probably die even before being sworn in. Why would we want an "old man with not many years left" to become President. Vote for Obama and give McCain a run for his money. Obama is a much better candidate then Hilbilly is and would make a much better President. What makes you think that she will not follow in her "impeachy" husband Bill's footsteps? Would you want another person like that to head our country... full of lies, "skeletons in the closet (bka the Oval office)", etc? I know I don't. Also, apparently many people don't feel that she would be a good President as she is continuously borrowing herself money.. if she were thought to be such a good President by her supporters, why are they not supporting her financially? I see nothing wrong with Obama being President. He is willing to make a stance towards change where Hilbilly just whines and cries her way about thinking that people will feel sorry and vote for her. All of you racists and Hilbilly backers need to pull your heads out of your arses and see what "change is all about". Look at what our Wonderful US has turned into. It is time for change and the time for change is NOW! Go Obama!!

I, myself, am not a person of color but just because the colors are voting for Obama, what makes you think they are "Racist" against Hilbilly? Maybe they believe in the Change that Obama wants to bring to the US, not the mouth of lies, etc. that Hilbilly is bringing on. Maybe you are the one that is against colors. I think you need to pull your head out of your ars. Do you think all the younger people, educated people, etc that are voting for Obama are voting for him because he is a man of color? I do not think so. He is the one wants change and if he can do that, by all means, vote him in now! This world is falling apart as we speak because of the past couple of Presidents. I hope you all see where I am coming from and vote for Obama in November.

The only experience that Hillary has is a failed healthcare plan, and a vote for a war that should never have happened. She is one of the same old politicians with the same bad ideas. Obama will bring some positive change that this country needs.

By your logic, if you go to a picnic expecting a cheeseburger, and all they have are hamburgers, you'd opt for the potato salad that's been sitting in the sun for 3 hours.

Ok, I think this is the most fitting analogy I have seen to describe the sentiment of some of the Hillary camp. LOL

Can I use that analogy? I can always just take it under the auspices of the Patriot Act!

Hillary is getting crucified by her own party! NO ONE SHOULD DECLARE VICTORY UNTIL ALL VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD! As for Obama.... Though he has taken the admirable stand that this will go down to the convention, his victory swagger is just plain sickening. Hillary (as well as Michigan & Florida) has the right to have ALL VOTES COUNT. Florida is the fourth largest state in America... and we AREN'T GOING TO COUNT THEIR VOTES? DEM party rules or not, If you send a message to the electorate that some of their votes are not going to matter, then you will all be playing into McCain's strategy. If MI & FL aren't counted, then Hillary has a great case against the elitist, Obama political machine that HE AND OTHER DEMS STOLE THE ELECTION! And by the way... what DOES Obama stand for..."CHANGE?" There is an old saying: "Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it!"

Randal, get off your sister-mother. I understand your resistance to change however, change is inevitable. Now, the superdelegates are rallying around Obama. He has surpassed HillBill in superdelegates. Why is that? If he was such the racist that you say then, why are voters from diverse ethnic backgrounds casting their votes for Barack? Relax, it's going to be ok. Ok now, get back to your sister-mother.

What I find sickening is everyone from Hillary's camp being soooo quick to blame FL and MI on Obama! Hillary herself said way before Super Tuesday that she agreed that their votes would not count. Their votes were not important to her until they mattered in terms of her getting what she wanted. Then it becomes "oh they're bing disenfranchised" and "Poor FL & MI, Everyone's votes should matter".

That being said, I COMPLETELY agree with the fact that the delegates from FL and MI should be seated and their votes should matter. I just think that in terms of blame, it should be laid where it belongs, squarely at the feet of those who made the choice to move the primaries up KNOWING FULL WELL what the punishment for that choice would be! If you want to punish someone with your vote, then the people of FL and MI should punish those who were in charge of the choice in their state. The only reason there has not been a re-vote in either state is because neither state wants to pony up the Millions it will cost out of their own coffers.

A lot of Hillary supporters say how mean we are to Hillary and how we are so smug. From the tone of your post, you are just the same. Pot...Meet Kettle!!

Way to engage in ageism. That’s just like someone saying don’t vote for Obama because he is black. I think maybe you don’t like McCain or Hillary because they are white.
All you sheeple keep repeating that hollow line about “change” without ever once saying just what sort of change he would bring. Grow up. You sound like children. Besides, not all change is good, change just for the sake of change rarely is.
And the reason that college kids are voting for Obama is because they have undergone the apologist Liberal indoctrination that Higher Education is notorious for. Funny how older, thinking and working people with more life experience aren’t going with Obama.

See the level of hatred in Obama supporters. And there’s more of that childish “change” talk that we never hear just what it means. You Obama folks don't seem very smart. Sounds to me like you need to get off the black c*ck.

Add up the electoral votes for the states that Mrs. Clinton won VS the states that Mr. Obama won. Reality is the Electoral votes are the ones that elect the president in November. Democrats are not going to win North Carolina, Alabama etc anyway in November. Mr. Obama will lose the general election because he will not carry the big states that Mrs. Clinton did and he will not win in the west or the south. Not many are going to be persuaded to vote for the "hope & change" that we have been hearing about every 4 years, from some "new idea" candidate. McCain is not a horrible alternative. By wits alone he will do much better than "W". Iraq? We broke it...we bought it. Nobody is going to get us out of there easy.
Mrs. Clinton should run as an independent. She may win enough states to be president.

Clinton and Sharpton are cut from the same cloth.... lie, lie, lie!
