Come on, people! Listen to the man, for God''s sake, without pre-judgement. You''re falling right into the discrimination trap. Listen!! He is not dissing any other faith, party, or people.

Hope you all didn''t miss it... If you want more of a context for Rev. Wright, CNN is right at this moment broadcasting a very eloquent, brilliant speech by Wright.

Wow. He is comparing a regional dialect (New England) to the way "Black People Talk" as a sing of discrimination. First he insults people from Boston, then his own race (insinuating Blacks primarily talk in urban jargon).

On Face the Nation, Bob was caught misquoting Rev. Wright as saying Obama was "just another politician." This is a serious misrepresentation of Wright''s remarks. Once again, the media experts (vanguards of truth?) show themselves no better than the political ads. Did you not have time to prepare, Bob? How can we expect our politicians to speak responsibly when we can''t even get it straight from you?

I can''t believe how shallow-minded and ignorant are the folks covering this Rev. Wright thing. They blast us over and over again with fragments of speech, refusing to give us the full context, because they know what makes a splash for their viewers. Why not give us the gist of Wright''s recent interview? He was simply defending himself from misrepresentation. He was speaking for himself as a pastor, and letting Obama speak for himself. They disagree on some things. Duh. You mean like we do in a democracy?

The coverage of Wright from all of you guys also belies your complete ignorance. Why not spend a few years in a church, then speak? Until then, shut up about what you know nothing of. Most of all, why do the media insist on making something so bland so loaded with earth-shattering significance? You''d think we gave up democracy and were living under a dictatorship. (Oops!) The media has stooped to the lowest common denominator of their viewing public in their hysteria and appetite for mud under every rock.

Half the Dem vote could well defect to the GOP if Hussein Obama somehow steals this primary.

The above is what''s know as a lie. A plain unvarnished piece of cr*ap. the nomination is already his since there is nearly no way Hillary can take it from him.

I''m a life long Democrat who has voted in every presidential election since 1976. that said, if Obama is leading in total delegates and popular vote going into Denver and the supplicates overturn that and give the nomination to Hillary, then I think I''ll be sitting on my hands come November. There is no way I''ll ever vote for that senile loser McCain, but I don''t know if I can bring myself to vote for a Democrat that got the nomination by over-riding the democratic process and the will of the party members.

"But the question is how we get to that change," Axelrod said. "We do have to come together not just as a party, but as a country. We have to get past our divisions. We have to push back on the special interests in Washington.

"I think there''s a hunger for change in this country. I think people are going to come together in a great coalition for change. I think it''s important that that change be not just change of party, but a change of politics in Washington."

lol, Notice how many times he put change in there? Gawd he''s an advertising robot!

The trouble is Obama doesn''t represent change of anything. Unless it''s more extreme politics, more lying, more spending, more incompetent plans, more, more, just like Bush! And just as anti=American as Bush except in an extremist way! He''d be high fiving every anti=American extremist in the country!

Sorry, but we don''t want Obama change in our White House!

We want a democratic leader with the proven leadership abilities to get this country back on track!

I and -MILLIONS- like me will vigorously campaign against Hillary Clinton should she STEAL the Democratic nomination. Carve this in stone - she will NOT be elected after this display of Egomania at the expense of the American public. Carve it DEEP in stone !

-and I voted her into her senate seat. Fool me once... NEVER again. Never.

I have to say I have been watching the way the media is manipulating the campaign, and I am very disturbed. They seem to examine everything to find the worst thing that is said, and then they twist it to support their agenda and then put it out there and beat it to death to whip up a frenzy of controversy. An example is the sound bite they have taken out of Rev. Wright''s interview with Bill Moyers, and made that what the interview was about. That sound bite was the very least of what Rev. Wright said in that interview, yet for many voters that is all they will get from the interview. Granted, we have some responsibility for not doing our own research and watching the entire interview ourselves, but the truth is, the theoretical purpose of the media is to inform the public, and that''s what people expect. It''s really too bad that is not what they get. And by the same token, some things that truly should cause concern are totally ignored by the media, and thus are not even noticed, much less examined. I fear for our country''s future if our politics is reduced to who can play "Gotcha" the best and what the media wants to emphasize, whether it really matters or not.

Vote for a candidate I believe to be bad for this country in the name of party unity? I don''t think so.

How could not recogizing the states of Michigan and Florida possibly "hamper" the Democrats in November.

I can see a lot of GOP ads being run in Michigan come October............a lot.
