When the once-great Democratic party moves away from leadership such as Dean and similarly natured others, the better for that party and for America.

Who finds these people, (ie: Dean)? And...do they (Dean and his ilk)really go to bed at night thinking that they're right in the head?

The real answer is to have all of the primaries and caucuses on the same day. That way all voters get an equal voice and not one swayed by previous results.

Exactly. Don't you find it the least bit troubling that a Total Unknown (Obama) can gain so much support for the Presidency? What does it say about the mindset of people that they are willing to entrust the future of our children to Someone Who No One Knows. It is unbelievable to me that people, apparently, are supporting Obama because he is a nice looking black man who speaks well. Well, if that's all it takes to become President, why don't we just elect Chris Rock or Will Smith while we're at it? They're as qualified for the position as Obama is.

To all Obama supporters: Do you easily think that HILLARY will surrender easily? Dream On! HILLARY won all the big blue states that a Democrat should win, next is PA! HILLARY will win this at the end! She is a fighter!!!! LOVE HER!

HE DECIDED TO REMOVE HIS NAME FROM THE BALLOT IN MI. AND HE RAN ILLEGAL ADS IN FL

We us a break!!!

Florida all candidates were on the ballot and Obama campaigned.

Michigan – poor judgment on Obama's part to remove his name but he did have staff having people vote for the uncommitted as a vote against Clinton. So seat the delegates!

Seat the delegates now and get it over with.

To let it go to the convention will loose more people from those two states and it just isn't worth the loss when it comes to the election in November!!!! No sense in waiting.

HOWARD DEAN AND SOME OF THE OTHER DEMOCRATICS HAVE DESTROYED OUR PARTY. IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF HATE, HATE, AND MORE HATE.

What a pathetic joke.

Howard, if you can't be honest and realize you are leading your party into a 1968 like convention, you really have no business leading it. You remind me of all the recent scumbag CEOs who sold their companies down the river after they were done looting them.

I have been so turned off by Hillary that I can't vote for her if she wins the nomination. If you had asked me if I would have voted for a Republican for President in 2008 I would have said you were crazy. However my choices go like this Obama for President, if Hillary gets the nod I would vote for McCain despite the fact I disagree with him on many issues.

And as far as not voting democratic if obama wins...that's fine too, but when mccain wins I don't want to hear you or your ilk whining about how unfair and stupid republican rule is because you are responsible for it!

If the 28% of Clinton supporters vote Nader, then there would be a third party in which we could voice are concerns to. A third party would make sure that BOTH Dems and Reps would not only have to REMEMBER what they promised us during the election process but keep those promises. It would mean that Both parties would have to work for our vote. Any maybe make Dean think it is ok to throw away the voices and votes of two states just to make sure HIS candidate wins

I agree that too much time is spent on the primaries. Have the primaries in June, then spend til November on the Gen Elecion. And if the nominee is evident by the votes, why waste time and money on the convention?

I urge all Americans to really consider what's being presented by the media in the next few months. We MUST consider what is being reported and how it is being reported. For all intents and purposes, the Democratic race is over. Hillary has a virtually insurmountable lead, but the media knows that they can stoke ratings by keeping the race alive. CNN and other media outlets have a VESTED INTEREST in prolonging the race. Again, if the situation were reversed, how do you think Senator Clinton would be reacting? Do you think she would tolerate a losing candidate with virtually no mathematical chance of winning staying in the race?

he'll get his clock cleaned by McCain in Nov.

then in four years, the dems can send up a real leader with experience.

the results will be four years of the older more experience generation
having the last laugh....

you youngsters do it your way, when ot blows up in your face,,,,,,,,,

I'll just chuckle and say,,,,,,,,, we your elders tried to tell you but ,

as usual, you don't listen, you think your inexperince gives you the know all that is all..

it will be another 100 years before a black man is taken seriously ...

come Nov.. the democrats will ( the youth) be stuned, how could we have been so wrong...........

simple answer, like always, you just don't listen to the adults in your life.....

Missouri

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. BUT CAN'T HOLD HER RESPONSIBLE

FOR WHAT COMES OUT OF HER OWN MOUTH. WE ALREADY HAVE

THAT KIND OF ADMINISTRATION. HOW IS IT WORKING FOR YOU ?

For the first time am beginning to love Howard Dean. His sins are forgiven. He talked very maturedly this time and I give him an 'A' for that. As long as the delegates from Michigan and Florida are seated and the Superdelegates do thier job then everybody will be fine and no one will feel cheated. But to ask Hillary to step down when all and sundry have not been allowed to vote and for due process of Democracy allowed to run it's course is a complete fraud and is unacceptable. He is the only one so far that is making sense. The rest of them are just completely out of control.

Excluding Florida and Michigan? is this democratic or is just being done to deliver a flawed, illegitimate nomination to Mr Obama? Florida democrats are the victims of your leadership, the Republicans that forced the primary early and Obama that refuses to agree to either count the votes or to a re-vote. Remember Florida-Bush? Just stealing the primary in a similar way Bush stole it from Al Gore.

You want unity and you want to see the democrats win in November? Support the movement to bring Al Gore as our next President.

The media has twisted everything in Obama's favor, Obama whines and constantly cries foul, his supporters have been pushing Clinton to withdraw when Obama cannot reach the delegate count either and worst, the Obama supporters are the most mean and vulgar that the Clinton supporters had to finally respond in her defense.

There is no leadership and the DNC has been rigging this contest. More people are choosing to be unaffiliated with either party and I think it is time to start a third party.

Why doesn't Dean tell those morons in the Democrat controlled Congress to get off their butts and do their job.

1) ""Pelosi and DNC Chairman Howard Dean have so far defended
their positions in the face of the mounting pressure"" (CNN)
(but it is suggested that this could change because the DNC is
out of Money and need the contribution of the authors of the
Pelosi-letter !!)

2) " The Clinton campaign denies that they were behind the Pelosi-
letter" (their own staement)
(but, oh surprise, agrees with its content !!)

3) " The Democratic Primaries are not a mess and working better as
expected" (Howard Dean)

By the way, the declarations of the MOVE-ON extreme LEFT organization in favor of OBANA and against the HILLARY-supporting "fat-cat" donors damages both OBAMA (reinforcing the
perception that he is Ultra-Liberal) and HILLARY (exposing her links
to Big-Money).

ALBO

Um, how about the 2006 elections? How about going from a pretty devastating minority in both houses to the majority in both houses? In a non-presidential election year, no less. That's huge!

If Senator Clinton was so concerned about the disenfranchisement of voters in MI and FL, then she should have never authroized the punishment meted out by the DNC. But in December, she thought that the primary process was a foregone conclusion. If she was concerned about these "voices not being heard," then she should have made some noise in the days leading up to the initial votes in those states.

But Senator Clinton thought she had this thing wrapped up. If the tables were reversed, and Senator Obama was trailing and were trying to get delegates - which EVERY nominee agreed WOULD NOT BE SEATED - Senator Clinton's campaign would be burying him. Why is it OK for her to push this disenfranchisment narrative only now that she's behind? If she was really that concerned in the first place, shouldn't she have opposed the refusal to seat the delegates instead of agreeing to it? Shouldn't she have made a bigger deal about it when FL and MI actually voted in January?

Billary CAN NOT WIN – PERIOD

DROP OUT!!!!
