Voters are fired up about this election. So much for Americans being complacent about this administration and its failed policies. It's obvious that they want to send a message to Bush and all the rest of the Republicans in Congress.

People are coming out in record numbers all around the country to vote in Democratic contests....usually double or triple the Republican voters. The Reagan Repubicans are coming home and the Generation X/Y are joining our ranks.

Voter suppression tactics will not work this time. People will not be dennied the right to vote any longer by revisionist GOP voting policies. For every vote they try to suppress or not count, we will get out that many more to make up for it.

Americans are actually beginning to act like voters around the world who relish the idea of exercising their right to express their love of freedom.

Watch out GOP. This is the beginning of something even bigger.

This is great, no matter who they vote for. The parties really need to look at caucuses. The small numbers of people who sometimes turn out for the caucus tradition is frightening. For example, prox 50K in Washington. Not a representative number when that is less than 2% of the registered voters. I come from Reno and kept in touch with friends there. The most common comment about their new caucus was that too many were disenfranchised by virtue of inability to get to a caucus. Altho the turnout was great, it should have been greater. Here in CA we can vote by mail, so no one willing is left out. In fact, I think the absentee ballots are still being counted. We must provide every eligible voter with a means to be heard.

Is It Time for Hillary Clinton to Quit?

With ten successive defeats, the Clinton Camp must be wondering about the future of their campaign. Even if Hillary wins Texas & Ohio (which seems very unlikely), she will not be able to lead in the delegate count. So her camp needs to have a reality check.

Perhaps it is time for the elders of Democratic party to suggest to Hillary that her continuing the campaign will be devisive for the party and it is time for her to concede. She has run a good competitive campaign, she was leading in the polls for the longest time, but the Obama movement has overtaken her and gone well past. It is time for Al Gore and other Democratic stalwarts to step up and bring this to a close.

If Hillary quits now, she will leave on good terms with Obama and will enable the Democratic nominee to preserve cash and energy for campaign against McCain. Also, she may have an important place in an Obama Administration. She could be Secretary of Health implementing the all important healthcare plans that both she and Obama talk about so much.

Also, with Obama's relatively less experience in world affairs, his Administration must leverage Bill Clinton's international experience. Bill could be the President's Special Ambassador for Middle East peace, a project Clinton came so close to accomplishing towards the end of his Presidency but ran out of time. This could be a great opportunity for him to finish what he started.

Obama needs a Joe Biden or a Bill Richardson as VP. Put the whole war experience thing to bed. The problem is finding someone without many skeletons in the closet.

Also, isn't it sad that Republicans love to attack women. They attacked Hillary, a strong, first lady when she tried to do something. They attacked Kerry's wife every time she opened her mouth, another strong woman. Now they are attacking Michelle Obama, a strong woman. Why do they insist that their first ladies look and act brainless? We need a strong first lady, but it does seem like the whole country is slightly uncomfortable with it. I say put Michelle away untill after the general. After we win, let her come out swinging.

Michelle's recent remark (gaff) reveals the real attitudes and inner thoughts of she and her hubby. They are too radical, too Afrocentric, and too egotistic for my blood. The underlying negative passion is always there; it can emerge at inopertune times. Imagine the U.S. involved in an international something and Michelle shooting off her mouth.
When Hillary gets negative, she has at least thought it out. Michelle's underlying personality is negativity and it emerges; it's cellular and can't be denied. O covers it up with his winning smile. How could anyone vote for someone who really believes that this country is a bad place to be? Their lives have been extremely prosperous, yet they use the lives of the disadvantaged to lead them, like Pied Pipers, down the road to vote. I fail to feel any sincerity in this couple. Their egos are just too big for me. If Hillary had as big an ego, she would have had a total breakdown by now.

Well said.

About the border fence. I think we should cut our losses and build the damn thing, just leave Texas on the other side. Hell they don’t even act like Americans down there.
They think it is ok to torture people, break into your home and go through your stuff while you are not home, listen to your phone call etc. Now we have to count on TEXAS to do the smart thing and vote for Hillary. Boy are we screwed!
