No Offense Betty Lou, but PISS OFF! You're not a Democrat so why even post here?

Please explain how his nomination would be illegitimate. He is ahead in elected delegates and in contests won. Even with FL and MI included, that will not change. The only thing that changes with including FL and MI is that Clinton would lead in popular vote, but only if Obama is credited with 0 for MI. He would lead in popular if he is given any of the "uncommitted" from that primary. No charges of fraud have been leveled or proven against either of the two. So, again, how is his lead illegitimate?

your post seriously - until you called Barack a marxist. you have no prupose here other than to incite an argument. the name calling of the candidate games are not appropriate - and you need to give it a rest.

I just cannot vote for a racist, I will move my vote to the non-racist.

You must be a republican because you must know that in order to get the Republicans out of office, writing in a name is STUPID and will loose the election for the democrats. He is not winning illegitimately, the only reason you think that way is because the Clintons have pounded the fricking false nonsense into your stupid head. I am sorry to be so nasty today but people need to fricking grow up. The Clintons included.

If the Pubs would rather face Obama, then why did Rush Limbaugh create his plan to have Hillary on the ballot as opposed to Obama?

Does anyone know if you can write in a candidate in Florida? I'm trying to find out.

My eyes are still soaking in my first cup of joe....I thought you wrote "Write in Hillarity..."

Which actually make more sense looking at your "reasons"....such a slanted perspective makes it obvious that you are relying too much on Hillary blogs for information and not examining the issues with an objective eye.

You are talking about the majority of your party.

The GOP always has and always will call us Democrats "left-wing marxists" or worse - that's because WE ARE LIBERALS!

It is time for intelligent liberalism to come back, and that's why millions upon millions of American citizens want Obama to be the next president.

The GOP will label *any* nominee the way you just did - even if that person were to be Hillary.

What I don't understand is when our fellow democrats use the word "left wing" like it's an epithet.

What party do you think this is anyway?

but not for some of your reasoning but because of a trust factor. We flat do not trust him because of some of the issues that have arisen during the campaign (religion, patriotism, easy ride with the media, allegience to friends and country, and other comments)!

We also realize that it will only register as a protest vote here in Florida unless Clinton registers as an independent prior to the GE. This is a protest vote not so much in favor of Clinton but against Obama and the tactics of the unfair DNC and member of the Stupid Delegate System of power grabbers!

Same here, I'm in love with you too and I'm also a married woman. Always was attracted to gay guys though, usually the most attractive and they were easy to talk too!

But I think we're getting off track. It is nice to talk about something other than all this rhetoric.

Getting us absolutely nowhere but to another 4 years on McBush!!!

....the next months will be like here.

I think we all know HILLARY will not run as an Independent. I hope that she gets the delegates she earned and that if that is the DNC's discussion, it will knock some sense into the "super delegates".

I am a life long Democratic Activist. I am greatly concerned about the direction of our Party and am disheartened by the leadership of our Party. I fear that our Party is on the verge of nominating yet another candidate for President that simply can not and will not win in November, which is a shame considering this was supposed to be the year that Democrats would be able to re-take the White House with ease. Our Party does not seem to be able to learn from past mistakes, as we have nominated candidate after candidate that has been unelectable in the general election. The Party leaders and elite simply ignore the aspect of the reality of who can win the all important "Electoral Vote" which actually elects the President. Obama can not win this critical vote.

Obama simply can not win with the coaltion of voters that he currently has. He has won in states where there is an open primary or caucus, which has permitted Republicans to participate in selecting our Party's nominee. They want to run against Obama, as they know he can be defeated. They do not want to run against Hillary, as she is a seasoned veteran of the process and will not cave under the pressure of the Republican attack machine that will certainly be unleashed against Obama in the general election campaign. She has faced this attack machine many times in the past and knows how to deal with it. Obama cries foul even in the Primary process anytime criticism is directed towards him. He has shown it is very easy to get him off message and shift him toward a defensive mode. If he is forced to be on the defensive in the general election campaign, the old saying, "if you are on the defensive, then you are loosing", will be the reality of the election.

I am angry over the way that the Party leadership has attempted to manipulate this nominating process in the favor of Obama. I am angry over the way that the Party has treated voters from Michigan and Florida, as I see the voter disenfranchisement of the voters of these two states much worse than any of the voter disenfranchisement that Republicans have engaged in with respect to past elections.

I can not and will not support Obama if he is our Party's nominee. He lacks the experience needed to lead this nation in what could be described as one of the most difficult times of our nation's history. I am greatly concerned about his repeated plan to utilize funds currently being spent to finance the Iraq war to pay for his proposed programs. We currently are borrowing the money for the Iraq war from nations such as China, Mexico, Canada, etc., continuing to engage in deficit spending and running up the national debt. His plan to use these borrowed funds do nothing to end the deficit spending and reduce the national debt. His plans only will increase the deficit and the debt that will eventually bankrupt this nation. This continued approach to spending is totally irresponsible. We must return to the days, as we saw with President Bill Clinton, when we had a balanced budget, paid down the national debt, repaid borrowed funds from the Social Security Trust Fund and generated a budget surplus. Obama's plan falls far short of this. Our economy is in crisis and his plans to fund his proposals will do nothing to improve the economy, which is currently the number one issue on the minds of voters.

As I stated, I will not and can not support Obama in the general election. I will not support McCain either. I will vote for a Democrat by casting a write in vote for Hillary. Here in California, the Secretary of State and County Registrar's office has already published information mailed to voters, informing them of their rights to cast write in votes and providing the information to voters on how to cast a write in vote.

I will support Democratic candidates for the House and Senate, to help insure a veto proof Congress, which would in essence, make it a mute point about who occupies the White House.

I am so disappointed by the actions and direction that our Party has engaged in under the leadership of Howard Dean and the hiden agendas in favor of blindly nominating Obama simply for the purpose of being able to say that the Party nominated the first black to run for the Presidency with comments that hint at the message that somehow Obama is owed the nomination to "make up for hundreds of years of social injustice towards blacks" in this nation. The Party needs to be more concerned about the issues and support of the Latino and Asian populations that are constantly increasing in this nation. The black community's voting strength has been reduced due to the tremendous increase in Latino and Asian voters. Less attention needs to be spent on courting the black vote and bending over backwards to please them for fear of reprisal from black leaders such as Al Sharpton and his threats for protests. The Party needs to recognize and start showing action that confirms that it realizes that diversity is not just about blacks anymore. Diversity must include all ethnic groups, genders, socio-economic groups and sexual orientations. Diversity is not only about keeping the black community happy.

I will project, even as a life long loyal Democrat, that if Obama is nominated, we will see a McCain victory in November that will compare to the sweeping victories of Ronald Reagan.

I will honor my desire to always vote Democrat in all elections; however, it will not be by voting for Obama. I will cast a write in vote for Hillary Clinton.

If the leadership and direction of our Party does not change, I will consider leaving the Party, something that would be an action that I would not take lightly. Currently I feel that my leaving the Party would not be "me leaving the Party", it is more in line with "the Party has left me".
