Why are we the party that allows everyone, Democrats, Republicsns and Independents, to vote in most of our caucuses and primaries. The Republicans don't do this, why the Democrats? Why do we let other parties and non-affiliates control our nomination process? Hillary was favored strongly in the primaries by Democrats. Obama was favored by a small percentage of Democtats and most of the cross-over voters. Again, I repeat, why can't we vote for our own Democratic candidate?

John McCain is the presumptive nominee based on the principle that only Republicans vote in Republican primaries. Why are we so unfair in our primaries?

Who do the Super Delegates really represent? Certainly not the rank and file of the Democratic Party. If they did, they would have to vote for their state party's choice and not for personal or professional gain based on personalities. A state's Democratic Senators and Congress persons should follow the voters' wishes of their state. ie: Massachusetts - Kennedy and Kerry - Hillary Clinton; Pennsylvania - Bob Casey Jr. - Hillary Clinton; New Mexico - Gov. Richardson - Hillary Clinton. The list goes on. The same is true of those states won by Obama. Or, another suggestion would be that Super Delegates not make their choices known until the Convention in Denver. There will be angry feelings no matter who wins the nomination. But it should be fair.

Our nominee should be chosen by our party, period. Republicans have no business choosing our nominee. Independents definitely have no business voting in our primary. They have chosen, of their own accord, to stay away from the party system, so they should only have a vote in the general election. They have no business in OUR party business.

What's fair is fair, or is that for everyone who isn't a Democrat!
