If you are concerned about continuing the War in the MiddleEast as I am then thats one good reason to vote Democrat in November. Look at how many Men and Women we have lost not to mention the ones who are alive but wounded for life because of the Bush lies in the Republican Party. Now McCain wants to continue this course and also have a base in Iraq for years to come. If anyone is voting for McCain because they are angry at Obama get over it quick . If your against the Iraq War and voting for Senator McCain then your a hypocrite period . This is why our country is screwed up every 4 years during election time and this time some Democrats or people claiming to be Democrats will vote for McCain . You will if he is elected get more of the Republican policies that have not worked and are killing our Economy and also the Trillions of your tax dollars spent on the Iraq War .Your harded eared money . So again think very clearly about what your planning on doing . Voting for Senator McCain you might just want to hand in your Democratic Party badge because what your telling us is that you do not need the Democratic Party anymore and you like Senator Joe Lieberman have become a Republican. At least be honest with yourself and with fellow Democrats before you vote for Senator McCain and just come out of the closet and say I am really a Republican and nolonger a Democrat. We have alot of new Democrats in our Party and maybe some of you who now support McCain have forgotten your ideals from the late 1960's and have grown to old to remember who you are now. I still have my Idealism intact and will never vote Republican not now not ever. Its like taken candy from the devil . The new generation of Democrats now in the Party will elect Obama President in November. McCain will be history and will fade away . Senator Obama will make Americans proud and is relationship with International leaders will be welcomed from around the Globe. If you vote McCain then you support the Bush failed Policies and thats your choice. I want Change and that is Obama not a Bush Republican. Senator Hillary Clinton will be voting for Senator Obama as a Democrat and so will I and millions of others around the country. Thats the bottomline

First I want to as many already have as Democrats thank Senator Clinton for a great fight for the nomination of our Party. Someday my little girl might be President. She said to me as watched Hillary that she would like to be President when she grows up. I believe all the kids growing up can be whatever they decide to be. Hillary gave I believe a speech that will go down in the history books of Politics . I hope that Hillary will have some roll in the International affairs when Senator Obama becomes President in November . Now on to the question To Be a Democrat or Not to Be that is the question? I am aware that some Democrats are in termoil over Hillary endorsing Senator Obama and have decided to vote for Senator John McCain out of anger . It can be said that their were supporters in the heat of the moment on both sides that said things anout each others candidate during the Democratic Primary. It happens and I am sure it has happened in other Democratic Primaries of the past. Is it right for it to happen no. The thing now is to come together and not be a half Democrat and half Republican meaning I will vote for McCain and work to support local Democrats thats the half and half routine. Senator Hillary Clinton made a honest speech from the heart because she cares about this country and the Democratic Party which she is part of . Senator Barack Obama is our Nominee and maybe some will respond and say he's not your nominee. Thats your right to feel that way at the moment the wounds of this Primary season will I believe heal before November. Can we afford to elect McBush i.e McCain who will still stay on the same course as President Bush ? Can anyone in their hearts and mind support allow the Republicans in Power to again be in Power and bring our great nation down with failed Economic and foreign policies? I cannot not and I agre with Senator Clinton she is a fighter and will not stop her fight now . Her fight is my fight and thats to defeat the Republicans who support Bush and McCain. Join me in electing Senator Barack Obama as Senator Hillary Clinton is asking of all within the Democratic Party. Thanks for listening and lets kick the Republican out in November and take back the Whitehouse for the Democratic Party and Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton. Yes We Can and Yes We Will.

I think Obama and the Campaign Veep Committee has a Vice President contender right on the Committee. Her name is Caroline Kennedy the daugther of John F Kennedy. She is bright no baggage and would be a great Women to have on his ticket. It would to me make for a strong ticket. I am going to contact the Obama campaign and suggest they consider Caroline Kennedy for the 2nd spot on the ticket. How many Democrats on here like Caroline Kennedy and would support an Obama/Kennedy ticket?

Obama/Kennedy 08

 

By Adam Nagourney and Michael Luo updated 2 minutes ago NEW YORK - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is moving to suspend her campaign and endorse Senator Barack Obama on Friday after Democratic members of Congress urged her on Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to unite around Mr. Obama, according to a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton is likely to make the announcement in New York City, an aide said, although no final venue has been chosen. Her decision came after a day of telephone conversations with supporters on Capital Hill about what she should do now that Mr. Obama has claimed enough delegates to secure the nomination. Mrs. Clinton had initially said she wanted to wait before making any decision, but her aides said that in conversations, some of her closest supporters said it was urgent that she step aside.   Read More »

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois sealed the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, a historic step toward his once-improbable goal of becoming the nation's first black president. A vanquished Hillary Rodham Clinton maneuvered for the vice presidential spot on his fall ticket.

Obama's victory set up a five-month campaign with Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a race between a 46-year-old opponent of the Iraq War and a 71-year-old former Vietnam prisoner of war and staunch supporter of the current U.S. military mission.

Both men promptly exchanged criticism over the war in Iraq and sought to claim the mantle of change in a country plainly tired of the status quo.

"It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95 percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year," Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery in St. Paul, Minn.

"It's not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies that have failed to create well-paying jobs. ... And it's not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave young men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians." In a symbolic move, he spoke in the same hall where McCain will accept the Republican nomination at his party's convention in September.

McCain spoke first, in New Orleans, and he accused his younger rival of voting "to deny funds to the soldiers who have done a brilliant and brave job" in Iraq. It was a reference to 2007 legislation to pay for the Iraq war, a measure Obama opposed citing the lack of a timetable for withdrawing troops.

McCain agreed with Obama that the presidential race would focus on change. "But the choice is between the right change and the wrong change, between going forward and going backward," he added.

Obama sealed his nomination, according to The Associated Press tally, based on primary elections, state Democratic caucuses and delegates' public declarations as well as support from 19 delegates and "superdelegates" who privately confirmed their intentions t/o the AP. It takes 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination at the convention in Denver this summer, and Obama had 2,129 by the AP count.

As a Democrat I believe the time has come for our Government to ban and dismantle all our Nuclear Weapons including production facilities should be transformed for Non Nuclear Alternatives. Presidents past and Present have told other nations to stop any Nuclear production period. We see this with North Korea ,Iran, and a few other countries. If we are going to have a Anti Nuclear Weapons policy for other nations to live by then we must set now an example. I hope when Obama becomes President that not only will we set a policy to end all production and use of Nuclear Weapons and Power but also within the United States close all our Nuclear Weapons complexes and have a Worldwide policy that no nation can produce or use Nuclear Power. This must be part of the agenda of the new Democratic President. For the sake of our Children and the future of our World lets be a leader in ending Nuclear Power once and for all here at home and around the World Yes We Can.

Clyburn to endorse Obama
Posted: 05:19 PM ET

From CNN Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, CNN's Deirdre Walsh



Clyburn has been critical of former President Bill Clinton.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Several sources tell CNN that House Majority Whip and superdelegate James Clyburn of South Carolina will endorse Senator Barack Obama Tuesday.

Clyburn, whose congressional district went overwhelmingly for Obama in the state's January primary, had said that he would wait to weigh in on the presidential race until the last nominating contest had been held. Earlier this spring, he had made remarks critical of Bill Clinton, calling his conduct on the trail "bizarre," and telling interviewers that some of the former president's actions had deeply upset African-Americans.

"There are African-Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that [Hillary Clinton] can’t win this," he told Reuters. "But they’re hell-bound to make it impossible for Obama to win.”

Washington Superdelegate for Obama; Delegate Countdown - 41.5 To Go Jun 2nd, 2008 at 6:22 pm EDT The AP reports... OLYMPIA, Wash. Seattle attorney and Democratic National Committee member David McDonald says he is endorsing Barack Obama for the party's presidential nomination. McDonald had been holding off making an endorsement until after this past weekend's rules committee meeting in Washington, D.C., where he was one of 30 members deciding what to do with the disputed delegates from Michigan and Florida. In an e-mail statement to The Associated Press, McDonald says Obama's candidacy "has brought astounding new energy and hope to the Democratic Party nationwide." Obama now only needs 41.5 total delegates to secure the nomination.

Sources: Most uncommitted senators to endorse Obama
Posted: 11:20 AM ET




Most of the 17 senators who remain uncommitted will announce their support of Obama, CNN has learned.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Most of the seventeen Democratic senators who have remained uncommitted throughout the primaries will endorse Barack Obama for president this week, CNN has learned.

Sources familiar with discussions between Obama supporters and these senators tell CNN’s Gloria Borger that the senators will wait until after the South Dakota and Montana primaries to announce their support for Obama.

Two sources familiar with the sessions said the endorsements will come sometime later this week.

Obama supporters have been “pressing” for these superdelegates to endorse earlier in the week, but according to one source, “the senators don’t want to pound Hillary Clinton, and there is a sense she should be given a grace period.”

A series of meetings on the topic have been facilitated at different times by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin. Durbin and Daschle are Obama supporters, while Harkin is uncommitted.

According to CNN’s Candy Crowley, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will remain uncommitted until Clinton officially drops out of the race.

Vilsack says it's over
Posted: 11:41 AM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney



Vilsack is a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton.

(CNN) – Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, one of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters, said Sunday it's time for Hillary Clinton to acknowledge she has lost her bid for the Democratic nomination.

Vilsack, who was briefly a presidential candidate himself last year, told the Associated Press it's "pretty clear that Senator Obama is going to be the nominee."

"After Tuesday's contests, she needs to acknowledge that he's going to be the nominee and quickly get behind him," Vilsack also said.

Vilsack first announced he was running for president in November, 2006, but dropped his bid three months later after the Democrat failed to drum up a significant level of support or raise the necessary campaign funds needed to compete. He endorsed Clinton shortly after and played a key role in the New York senator's unsuccessful Iowa campaign effort.

His comments came the same day the Clinton showed signs she plans to press on after Tuesday's contests — continuing argue she has won the popular vote and that the party's superdelegates are able to switch their allegiances before the convention in August.

Congratulations first to Senator Hillary Clinton for running a hard campaign till the very end. Both candidates brought out new voters for our Party and thats a good thing. Its our time to win back the Whitehouse and the Superdelegates will after June 3rd endorse and support Senator Barack Obama for President. Its time now to put the Primary differences aside and come together as Democrats and defeat 8 years of failed Republican NeCon Bush Polices not by electing McBush but Senator Barack Obama as Democrats for Change. Lets focus on crushing those NeCons that have controlled Washington for to many years . Its time to kick them out once and for all in November. I ask all Democrats to come together in November and Vote for President Obama of the United States of America and take our great nation in a new direction and a better future Obama Yes We Can 08

WASHINGTON (CNN) “ Democratic leaders hopeful that a deal to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan would mark an end to the deep division the controversy has brought to the party got some instant “ and less than encouraging “ feedback as they finalized the measure Saturday evening. As members of the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws panel voted in favor of the measures, some supporters of Hillary Clinton's White House bid rose from their seats and began to shout Dont steal my vote! and Lets go, McCain! Several paced the back of the ballroom, yelling at the committee members and chanting Denver! Denver!“ the site of this summer's Democratic presidential nominating convention. When Barack Obama's name was mentioned, boos filled the room. "This motion will hijack, hijack, remove four delegates won by Hillary Clinton and most importantly reflect the preferences of 600,000 Michigan voters, said Clinton senior adviser and RBC member Harold Ickes, who added that the White House hopeful reserved her right to bring an appeal before the DNC's Credentials Committee later this summer. The delegate allocations were a blow to Clinton, who comes away with an advantage of just 24 delegates. She is favored in Sundays Puerto Rico primary. But Obama is thought to hold an edge going into next Tuesdays contests in Montana and South Dakota “ meaning Clinton™s chances of pushing Obama™s delegate lead down into the double digits before the Democratic convention have virtually disappeared. After the vote, as knots of Clinton and Obama supporters circled each other and faced off in the lobby outside the ballroom, uncommitted Florida superdelegate Mitch Caesar “ who said he would weigh in soon after the last primary Tuesday  praised the party for taking the first step toward unity. Nearby, Obama supporter Laura Mitchell wasn't so sure the party had started down the path to comity. I think it's going to be a disaster if this goes past Tuesday, said the Maryland resident. Every day it gets a little harder to imagine we will be able to come together. Boston native and Clinton backer Jenny Doggett, an organizer of grassroots group Count the Votes Cast, called the DNC spineless.I think what they've done is divisive, destroying the party. I'm disgusted, said Doggett, who expressed hope that the popular vote in Puerto Rico and a shift in superdelegates might still be able to deliver the nomination to Hillary Clinton. I'm done with the Democratic Party, she added. I'm an independent voter now. The Rules committee ultimately adopted modified versions of a Florida delegate proposal presented by Jon Ausman, and the Michigan Leadership Plan developed by Democratic officials in that state. All delegates from both states, both pledged and superdelegates, will be seated  but each will only be able to cast half a vote. Florida's delegates were split The decision adds 313 new delegates, but only 156.5 votes, to the summer convention, and raises the number of delegates required to win the nomination to 2,118. The Florida proposal was passed unanimously by the panel  but faced a rockier reception on the Michigan plan, which employed a complicated and controversial delegate allocation formula that awarded a 10 delegate, 5 vote edge to Clinton. The Clinton campaign later released a statement from Ickes and fellow Clinton adviser and RBC member Tina Flournoy that said the Michigan decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party, and repeated their willingness to challenge the decision before the delegation is seated at the Democratic National Convention. The Obama campaign released a statement from campaign manager David Plouffe praising the RBC decision. We're extremely gratified that the commission agreed on a fair solution that will allow Michigan and Florida to participate in the Convention, said Plouffe. At a press conference at the hotel following the final vote, a skeptical reporter pressed Alexis Herman on her claim that the panels decision would unite the party. As Herman responded, chants of Denver! Denver! could be heard from the lobby outside   Read More »

Two Texas Superdelegates for Obama; Delegate Countdown - 41 To Go



May 30th, 2008 at 9:32 am EDT

Via Burnt Orange Report, two Texas superdelegates, Texas Democratic Party chairman Boyd Richie and Democratic National Committee member Betty Richie, have endorsed Obama.

Boyd Richie...

Today, I am proud to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. I believe Senator Obama is the candidate who can best provide the leadership and change Texans desire. Too many Texas families find themselves unable to make ends meet, much less save and invest in the future, due to Republican policies that burden the middle class and divide Americans. Senator Obama has the skill and ability to unite Americans from all walks of life and put our country back on the right track.

I am also grateful for Senator Obama's commitment to help build the Texas Democratic Party. Senator Obama and his campaign understand something that Texans have known for at least a couple of years - that when Democratic candidates invest the time and resources necessary, Texas Democrats have the numbers to compete and win across every region of our great state. We made progress in 2006, and in 2008, the Texas Democratic Party is more energized, better organized, and we are poised to make significant gains this fall.

This was a difficult decision to make, because I have great respect for Senator Clinton and her Texas supporters. I sincerely appreciate how hard she worked in Texas to deliver a message that resonated with so many voters, and I commend her campaign and the important role she played in the historic participation our Party is experiencing this year. As always, the Texas Democratic Party will conduct party business with absolute fairness and respect for every Democrat, without regard to whom one supports in the primary or convention, and I am confident Texas Democrats will unite and work together side by side to win this November.

And Betty Richie...

Today, I am proud to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. As a member of the DNC representing the Non-Urban/Ag Caucus, I strongly believe Senator Obama can provide the leadership rural Texas needs and deserves. Under the current Republican administration, rural Texas has clearly been put out to pasture. Whether it is trying to deal with skyrocketing diesel fuel prices or having access to quality healthcare, Republican politicians continue to ignore our needs.

Under Senator Obama's administration, there is no doubt the issues of concern to rural Texas will be put front and center. The futures of our families are far too important to leave in the hands of any Republican. It is time for a Democrat to put our country and our state back on the right track.

Because I have such great respect for Senator Clinton and her historic campaign, this endorsement was not easy to make. But I believe in my heart it is the right decision for rural Texas and the Texas Democratic Party. It is time for our Party to unite and move forward to victory in November. Only by working together can we accomplish this goal.

Senator Obama is now only 41 delegates away from securing the nomination. Build the movement and help Obama get there -- make a matching donation today and double your impact!

To the DNC and those that will be listening and deciding what to do about the Florida and Michigan Delegates . I understand that some of Hillary Clintons supporters the hardcore want you to just give Senator Hillary Clinton all of the delegates in both States. According to your own Rules and Bylaws that you have set for all the Primary Races within the Democratic Party it is my contention that Presidential Candidates and State Governments should abide by the Rules that were agreed upon by both Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Obama . Last Year these two states decided to move up their Primary dates ahead of other States against the very rules of our Democratic Party. Granted this was done with the votes of GOP Controlled Governments in both States at the time. It still does not excuse those who now are using the excuse that the GOP Controlled Governments are to blame so why should the votes and Delegates not be seated ? The reason is clear as day The DNC and Howard Dean our Chairman all agreed to these rules and bylaws. Its time for the DNC and the Bylaws Committee to uphold the laws that you have created in this Primary season and for the past Democratic Presidential Races of the past. Do allow angry people do decide what you should do this weekend. Do the Right thing and uphold the Rules that you put in place. Now that being said we are the Democratic Party and the fair solution to this is to split the Delegates 50/50 right down the line Senator Hillary Clinton takes 50 % and Senator Obama takes the other 50 %. Now if anyone has a problem with that then forget it . This is the best solution for everyone concerned and involved. Some will still be angry and upset but you cannot please everyone and realize that the Rules are good ones . I am certian if Senator Clinton were 46 something delegates away from the nomination this would not be an issue for her and her supporters or at least some of them. I will say this aswell that if their is not an agreement of a 50/50 split then none of the Delegates of Florida and Michigan should be seated. Again their is a simple solution the question is will Senator Hillary Clinton and her Camapign agree with it?

Watch Bill Clinton's remarks about the state of the race.

(CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if his wife Hillary Clinton is not the party’s presidential nominee, and suggested some people were trying to “cover this up” and “push and pressure and bully” superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely.

"I can’t believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out,” he said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News. “'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.'"

The former president added that his wife had not been given the respect she deserved as a legitimate presidential candidate. "She is winning the general election today and he is not, according to all the evidence,” he said. “And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running.”

“Her only position was, ‘Look, if I lose I'll be a good team player. We will all try to win — but let's let everybody vote, and count every vote,’" he said.

The former president suggested that if the New York senator ended the primary season with an edge in the popular vote, it would be a significant development. "If you vote for her and she does well in Montana and she does well in Puerto Rico, when this is over she will be ahead in the popular vote,” said Clinton.

“And they're trying to get her to cry uncle before the Democratic Party has to decide what to do in Florida and Michigan” – which the party would need to do “unless we want to lose the election. "

Aloha friends, Barack’s brother-in-law writing - I want to share some good news from this past weekend. During the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i State Convention, Barack picked up the support of three superdelegates. Newly elected State Party Chair, former State Representative Brian Schatz, newly elected State Party Vice-Chair, educator Kari Luna, and newly elected At-Large Superdelegate, retired chief judge of the state Intermediate Court of Appeals, James Burns, committed to supporting Barack for President at the Democratic National Convention in August. Maya (Barack’s younger sister and my wife) spoke at the convention on Saturday and introduced longtime supporter and friend, Congressman Neil Abercrombie. As usual, Neil and Maya got everyone “fired up and ready to go” and both stressed the importance of bringing the party together: “we are one family.” Like the unprecedented voter turnout at our state caucus in February (when Barack won with 76% of the vote), participation at the state convention was high. For many attendees, this past weekend was their first state convention and the first time in a long while that they felt truly part of the political process. Everyone we met expressed his/her thanks to Barack for making them feel empowered and hopeful about the direction of the country.
Earlier this month, Barack received the important support of three other Hawai‘i superdelegates, U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka, Congresswoman Mazie Hirono and Hawai‘i Democratic National Committeewoman Dolly Strazar. With the support of Neil, Brian, Kari, James and our state’s caucus results, the current number of Obama delegates from Hawai‘i is 21 (out of a total of 29).

Obama’s support stands at 52 percent and Clinton’s is at 35 percent. Thirteen percent of those who participated in the survey were unsure who they preferred as the Democratic nominee.

The Mason-Dixon poll of 400 likely Democratic primary voters in Montana was conducted May 19-21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.

Carter: After June 3, it will be time for Clinton to 'give it up'Posted: 10:10 AM ET
From CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand
Carter said Sunday the clock was ticking on Clinton's presidential bid.

(CNN) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday that in a little more than a week, when the last Democratic primary voters weigh in, it will be time for Hillary Clinton to “give it up.”

Carter told Britain’s Sky News that Clinton “had a perfect right” to keep running – but that “a lot of the superdelegates will make a decision quite, announced quite rapidly, after the final primary on June 3," he told Sky News Sunday.

"I have not yet announced publicly, but I think at that point it will be time for her to give it up," he added.

Carter, a superdelegate, has not made endorsement but has spoken out frequently in favor of Barack Obama.

Obama leads Clinton among superdelegates and has captured the majority of pledged delegates up for grabs this primary season.
