You prefer Clinton
I Prefer Obama

If Clinton wins I would vote for her
If Obama wins you would vote independent, or better yet write in Hillary Clintons name even when you knew it would still be like giving a vote for McCain, or even actually voting for McCain

If Obama loses to Clinton I will not leave the party
If Clinton loses you're out

You speak of uniting Hillary and her only
I would unite with the party and vote for her!
(I voted for Bill twice, I like Bill, but I just do not believe in royal families) I thought that is why our beloved forefathers ran to America, we shouldnt let this happen. It's fundamental.

I am a Democrat
By Democrat in Akron, OH May 18th 2008 at 9:57 am EDT
When Senator Obama permits the voters in Florida and Michigan to revote so that all voters can be heard he will have restored my respect. Democrats worked, marched and died for votes for all Americans. Not to stand up for that is WRONG. He knows it and so do you. He, Dean and Hillary ARE the rule makers here.

Are you confused? Obama does not make that decision...you guys can not be that out of touch. Where was Clinto 6 months ago when the 2 states were originally knocked out of the primaries. Truth is she thought she had the nomination in the bag. It was only 2 months ago she started crying when she realized she actually needed them. This whole arguement is moot. Had she been ahead she never would of campaigned for these 2 states. The shit is overflowing this morning.

YOUR A BOLD FACE LIAR! TUPAC HUNTER, MICHIGAN OBAMA CAMPAIGN CHAIR AND MICHIGAN SENATOR BLOCKED THE REVOTE BILL TO BE VOTED ON IN THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATOR.

UNTIL TRUTH IS TOLD HERE, YOU WILL NEVER GET OUR VOTES. IT MAKES ME ANGRY! AND MY VOTE WILL GO TO MCCAIN BEFORE I EVER VOTE FOR THAT BASTARD.
How many times do I have to say it?

Tupac Hunter wasn't on the committee.

Committee Members were:

Mark Brewer (Michigan Democratic Party Chair, HRC supporter)
Debbie Dingell (General Motors lobbyist, neutral superdelegate, wife of Rep. John Dingell -HRC supporter and superdelegate)
Carl Levin (HRC supporter and superdelegate)
Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (Rep. for 13th District, Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick's mother - undeclared but possibly leans Obama)

"If angst of a superdelegate were a portrait, it would look just like Debbie Dingell, the wife of Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Dingell the superdelegate (the blonde one, not the bald one; they're both superdelegates) is losing sleep over the political mess she helped cause in her state by pushing for an early Democratic primary in defiance of national party rules.

"I probably haven't slept since Feb. 4th," says Dingell, vice chair of the General Motors Foundation, maybe only half-jokingly. "Because it does matter. I really care about the people of my state."

Dingell is scrambling to help find a solution so that her people, including hers truly, will have a voice at the Democratic National Committee's nominating convention this summer. When she and other Michigan Democratic insiders pushed so aggressively to buck the DNC's calendar, who knew the stakes would be so high, the race this close, this far beyond Super Tuesday?

"Nobody foresaw this," she says. Certainly not Barack Obama, who, unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton, followed the DNC rules and didn't campaign in Michigan or put his name on the ballot - a choice made before anyone imagined he'd be the frontrunner after 11 consecutive primary victories." - Washington Post, February 27, 2008

This is apples and oranges. The DNC approved a revote, but Tupac Hunter stopped the bill from being voted in the Michigan legislator!

I suggest that manipulation of the facts stop. The bloggers here are informed!
The Michigan committee decided against the revote

You're a troll!
  
This is your Opinion
By Sandi May 18th 2008 at 9:57 am EDT
The difference: is why we find it MOST important NOT to vote Obama, and WHY we feel so Strongly.

Listen. IF this Party does not listen to the voice of its members with equality, there is no club. History shows that their is no Monarcy. Fact!

LISTEN

Your hatred is strong...the republicans are waiting for your vote...You will vote feelings over the entire good of the party, pure and simple.
Re: This is your Opinion
By shogun-whos the baddest? May 18th 2008 at 10:16 am EDT
but here is the real truth whenever you are ready to listen:
Last winter, both Clinton and Obama deferred to the DNC and agreed not to "campaign or participate" in either election; Obama even removed his name from the Michigan slate. So while Clinton "beat" her rival 50-33 in Florida and trounced "uncommitted" 55-40 in the Great Lakes State, one can't help but suspect that not campaigning and/or not appearing on the ballot somewhat affected Obama's showing--not to mention that turnout has a way of declining when voters are told that the election doesn't matter.
  
we want the whole party
By Democrat in Indianapolis, IN May 18th 2008 at 10:17 am EDT
That is the whole point we don't have a party, if we exclude voters from the party we don't have a party.....We all want to have a democrat party, but only if everyone's voice is heard...GO HILLARY
