Comments on: Early Exits Polls Indicate Economy Key Issue For Democrats

[yarow-2009]

Obama is trying to have it both ways. He thinks the superdelegates should adhere to their state vote outcomes despite rules that clearly give them freedom to support anyone they want. Yet, yet he fights against democracy when it doesn''t suit him by claiming that the democratically expressed preference of 1.5 million Florida Democrats, for example, should be ignored.

If Obama wants to argue that party rules should be followed by not seating Florida and Michigan delegates, then he should endorse the right of superdelegates to vote for whomever they choose. If he wishes to champion candidate selection by popular vote only, then let the votes of Michigan and Florida count fully. All polls and Super Tuesday voting trends suggest that Clinton would have still won Florida and Michigan in a landslide had there been vigorous campaigning in both states. She was clearly the choice of these states, and their voters should not be penalized for their state leaders'' timing decisions if Obama wants to argue that grassroots democracy alone should count.

In either outcome, Hillary is the winner.

New polls says that 25 percent of Clinton''s supporters won''t vote for Obama. Only 10 percent of Obamas says the same about Clinton. Now, who will beat McCain?

Obama will never win the general election; anyone thinking it''s possible is purely deceiving themselves.

It is amazing all the hatred of Hillary. I feel sorry for you because you do not have the ability to look past your prejudices and actually look at the facts. This stupidity has got us 8 years of Bush and will probably get us more republicans elected. So SAD!

Hillary will do more harm to the democrats than the republicans. With her ego, she will never drop out and with republican voters picking her so they can vote McCain in the General Election.
Hillary, we don''t want 12 years of republican rule. Obama is our best hope in winning back the White House.

With 58% of the voters saying they will not vote for Hillary in the Presidential election, the GOP needs to either split the Democratic party or help Hillary win the nomination.
