Its obvious when "they" say voters they meam "caucus goers, eliminating most democratic voters and especially the older less active voters (who actually make up the electorate). When "they" say voters they DONT MEAN the four million Florida and Michagan voters where the November election may well be won.
Its obvious they are including Republican crossover voters and right-wing talking heads who have been supporting OBAMAS candidacy but who will never vote for a Democrat in November. Furthermore its interesting no one is asking Richardson, Kennedy and others who have actually called for Super-delegates to support the will of the voters but who arent following thier own advice and have pledged to vote against thiere own states winner (Hillary)

McCain does not have the judgment and patience to lead America. He is an ill-informed, myopic, close-minded man who is easily swayed by the bigoted religious right. Check out the result of his BRILLIANT support of the "Surge", not to mention the fatally wrong idea to go to war with Iraq in the first place, and not actually go after the 9/11 terrorists. Check the facts at the below link and comment:

TracyM_organ: You women make me laugh. You are defently a Clinton supporter. A non educated women. hahahahahaha I think its great how mad all these Hillary supporters are. You people have thought she was going to be president for the last four years and then Obama comes along and beats her in every facit of the game.

The reason CLinton can''t win is because she is a fraud and everyone knows is.

Billary Cunton is a Liar Liar Pants suit on fire

Oh this is priceless coming from Richardson. He thought his endorsement would encourage all the others to slam dunk the Clinton campaign! Now it didn''t happen, he comes up with this mush-mouthed krap!

Richardson has some serious character flaw lacking loyalty to the ones who gave your career a boost, and supported his arse!

He jumped out in front to support Obama because Obama also winked at him for a VP slot, and he just couldn''t wait until after the eleciton!

I thought better of Gov. Richardson, but Hillary Clinton even won in his state and he''s not supporting the vote!

Political mush-mouthing is a disgrace in this election. Everyone''s taking stupid stances and then having to come back and shill themselves out of what they said!

Gov. Richardson, you just seriously flawed yourself! There''s no way you would carry my vote for anything!

OBAMA TIES TO HAMAS

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency today reports that the Wright, Jr., long-time pastor of Obama, published an op-ed piece signed by a Hamas leader. The item appeared in the July 22, 2007 edition of his Trinity United Church newspaper on the "Pastor''''''''s Page." Justifies attacks on Israeli civilians, and carries a supporting introduction by Mr. Wright.

Obama issued a statement strongly condemning these views of his pastor. "I certainly wasnt in church when that outrageously wrong [Hamas] piece was re-printed in the bulletin.


Obama is a long-time member of Trinity United, and his financial contributions to his church are reported to be substantial ("All told, the [Obama] couple gave $27,500 to [Trinity United] in 2005 and 2006," according to the New York Times of March 26). His moral support to the church has been unwavering. As more and more and more details of the extremist political positions of the church are revealed, Obamas response has been to distance himself from these, but also to repeat, over and over, that he didn''''''''t know, that he wasn''''''''t there.

I find it very difficult to believe that an intelligent, energetic, and very political man like Obama is perpetually ignorant about what goes on in the church to which he devotes so many of his resources. If he does get to the White House....

Nice thought, vmcneal2... until Bleem3 vomited upon his keyboard.

If the superdelagates to vote against the will of the majority of the delegates, that would be to me the same as the odious Supreme Court decision after the 2000 election. If the superdelagates resist the will of the people it will spell the end of the Democrats as a viable party... much the way the Republicans are seen today.

What neither party seems to understand is that the majority of American people still have at least half their wits about them and really do care about what''s happening outside the Faux News view of world events the ''vast right wing conspiricy [neocons]'' would have us believe (e.g. wmd, al-q/iraq connection, 9-11/iraq connection, yellow cake, aluminum tubes, weather balloons... you name it).

As far as I''m concerned, this is the last chance for our government as we know it. If the will of the people is not brought to bear upon our way of governance in the next election, then I will have no choice than to resist the tyranny that will have befallen us... much like the tyranny we have tolerated these past seven years but will suffer no more.

Be warned politicians of all stripes, there ARE patriots out here who will see our fore fathers dreams come to fruition despite your treason.
