Pure and utterly wishful thinking, Dean. You are OUT of a job come Nov. 5.

Its Clinton or McCain never Obama.

You must be kidding. There is no way I will vote for Obama – He is a relative unknown with no substance. He is not qualified to be the president of the U.S. at this time. For the good of the party, he needs to step aside. The young voters that are thrilled to death with him also don't have the experience behind them to make such a very critical decision for the country's good. They have to come down from the mountain top and look at the facts about Obama's experience. It is very limited at best.

. . .To all the voters who say they will vote for McCain out of spite, Go
ahead and vote for the war monger. Besides, SOMEBODY'S son or daughter has to get sent to war and get blown off the face of the earth.
Maybe it will be your's.

Obama 08.

No matter what happens – Clinton won't feel she was treated fairly unless she wins /sigh

Mr. Dean is not telling me what to do. He has already screwed up the Democratic Party by letting Florida and Michigan go the side. He will not push HIS candidate down my throat! I will vote for either Clinton or McCain NOT Mr. Dean's CHOICE!!

look at the electriol collage votes hillary is leading

I hope Dean's right, but it sure doesn't look that way right now!

Michigan and Florida voters must be outraged. I would be extremely upset if my vote did not count. The democratic party is in trouble. People are very divided on this. If Dean cannot see this he must be blind! This should be about the people . I have been a democrat all of my life and this race has me thinking maybe I should become an independent!

I AM A REGISTERED MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON – SHE'S FAKE, SHE PLAYS POLITICS, AND I DO NOT FEEL I CAN TRUST HER.

GO OBAMA!!!

I will never vote for MR. Obama . If is not Hillary then will be McCain. Dean you should Count my vote...

NOTICE........................NOTICE......................NOTICE

TO HILLARY R. CLINTON
FOR: UNPAID INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN STAFF.

AMOUNT $292,000
DUE IMMEDIATLY UPON RECEIPT OF THIS BILL.

Hillary supporters. Tell me once and for all, why do you guys Hate OBAMA so much? What makes McCain better than OBAMA. Look and see what McCain has said about Clinton. Starting reading Fox News and other Right Outlets.

Not going to happen, Howard. If Obama is the nominee, there are many of us who will vote for McCain.

Bob in Bridgeport.......
He had his lawyers and lobbyists in Michigan fighting everything the people up there were suggesting, ask anyone who lives in Michigan....Please also go research how he manipulated mail-in votes in Illinois to push out 4 other candidates....
Please go research.....

Obama just does not add up. Reason why Hillary supporters will never vote for him.

Fine Obama still will be the nominee and the president of the US. He will accomplish this without the votes of Hillary's supporters,because the majority of democrats will support him. Maybe Hillary will run as an independent and have Ralph Nader as her potential VP.

The biggest question in my mind is how a moron like Howard Dean who made a fool of himself during a previous campaign becomes the wise old man of the party. So far, Dean has succeeded in disenfranchising millions of voters with his arbitrary judgments. If such a clown existed in any other democracy in the world, he'd be out in a heartbeat. Can you imagine countries such as England and Canada putting up with such a buffoon?

Florida and Michigan DID know what was going to happen. The voters could not possible have thought their votes were going to count. It had been covered for WEEKS leading up to the primaries. It is definately unfair to the voters for them not to have a say, but the results of those primaries are fundamentally flawed. IT IS JUST AS UNFAIR to Obama if you count those votes. So who's to blame? FL and MI state legislatures THATS WHO. So people of FL and MI, dont blame the Democratic Party as a whole, blame your state reps! Vote them out of office for failing to comply with rules that were set WELL AHEAD OF TIME.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot and belongs with the republicans.

He is right, I will rally around Hillary. I may have to write her name in, but I will rally around her. Sorry I cant support a Bigot.

Today it is 1414 Obama / 1243 CLINTON, of the total 2657 pledged delegates already elected, i.e and it will not change much
after the End of the primaries.

This is 53.2 / 46.8%, a 6.4% difference, not 0.4% as Mr. DEAN mention!

ALBO

All the name calling is not going to change my mind or many of the other "insane Hillary supporters" or so called "Clintonians for McCain" but I guess your little minds does not allow the term democracy sink in. This is real and is happening for a reason. Someone messed up and it was not the voters.

All we want is to count all the votes... If we have a legitimate candidate we will line up behind it but unfortunately for all of us Obama can not close the deal or there would not be calling for Hillary to drop out. Blaming Hillary or us behind her for the division in the party is totally unfair.

You guys need to cool it and let the voices across the country be heard.

Dean is trying to divert attention from his trainwreck of a nomination battle by attacking McCain himself.

Tend to your own mess, Howie.

I will not vote for Obama if Clinton does not win the nomination.

Absolutely not!

Dean, your costing the Dems the nomination with Florida and Michigan. At least let Florida count since it was a fair fight with no campaigning and equal access with both candidates.

It is refreshing to see all of you democrats that are willing to vote for McCain.That should make his job a lot easier.I would have voted for Huckabee too.

I'm from Florida and as far as I'm concerned you're the reason why my vote didn't count. No way will I unify and vote for Obama, especially what happened in Florida. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN WAY. Our votes should be counted! Do your job Howard and make our votes count!

Watch MSNBC to get the news. CNN is mulling over stories from a month ago, and Fox has got Hitler Hannity and Rush Himler Limbaugh persecuting the same Rev. Wright story. They are making sure to set the country back 40 years. What Wright didn't accomplish Sean and Rush will. The IQ of the ultra right in this country has slipped!

Democrats who say if their candidate doesn't win will vote John McCain need to remember how you heckled the Republicans for voting George W. Bush for president. If you vote for John McCain, you should have voted for GWB, more of the same.

""Count Michigan and Florida NOW! Make this race as fair as possible""

you contradicted yourself.

Dream on Howard – I think you are severely mistaken that we all will rally around the candidate if it is Barack. I live in Florida, and we are all very upset at being disenfranchised. I don't know anybody who will vote for Barack come November if he is the nominee, even the ones who originally supported him. Everyone I know says they will either vote Republican or stay home. I don't think it was very smart of you to make 10% of the Democratic voters this angry.

Not unless Hillary is you're Nominee....

Why does the media and people who worship Obama not ask him how he is going to pay for all of his promised giveaways. Is he going to cut welfare? If people are not willing to work how will there be money to pay for all the freebees.? Yeh I have heard about the economy. At our worst it is still better than any country in the world even with a big bunch of it sitting on their rear ends. We need a universal sales tax to collect from the drug dealers and deadbeats who live by the underground economy and welfare. if the economy is so bad why is there no unemployed illegals?

After the last two presidential elections, we the voters are getting rolled over. I wonder if all voters would vote at one time as they do in November. As a voter from Pennsylvania the Dem leadership wants to limit who I can vote for. I think it's time for all states to have equal voting ......

Sorry to drop this on you Dr Dean.....i guess you hoping that to be true... I'm very sorry to disapoint you.....I will say maybe one in ten might vote for Obama if Hillary loses...maybe not that manyIf I don't believe anything he says now,why do you think I will Later.......Give that some thought

Obviously Mr. Dean is disconnected with us Democrats that support Hilary and will not vote for an in experienced candidate. What does he actually do for the party by the way ?

Florida should have their delegates counted; it was a fair primary even though we, as voters, had no idea of the repercussions our state legislature started. Michigan should have a re-vote if that is possible.

Senator Obama thinks he is god's gift - NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! He thinks he is above everyone and will not release his legislative dealings while he has been in public office. Gee, I wonder what he is hiding? We know little about his dealings with Rezko, etc. Not to mention his Pastor. This man is NOT presidential material. He should release his records just like Senator Clinton has. He is definitely hiding something. Why isn't this being pursued? Who does he think he is that he can just keep spuming garbage from his campaign?? Pretty sick!!

Time for you Obama supporters to wake up. Senator Obama is the ONLY person holding up the Florida and Michigan dilemma. Senator Obama, time for you to fess up and release your records, approve the Florida and Michigan delegates FROM THE PRIMARY RESULTS, and stand up and face the music. It will only get harder for you. Stop disenfranchising two states because the numbers will not be in your favor once that happens. None of this 50/50 split crap. If you want to go there, how about re-doing some of the states that you won?

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray this all gets resolved by July 1. MI and FL KNEW their votes wouldnt count and both canidates signed that they WOULDN'T count. To cry foul now is poor politics as when one breaks rules their are consequences. Take your anger out on those in the representatives in those states that thought they could move up dates without penalties. Its not Clinton's fault or Obama's fault its the state rep[s] fault. Clinton is attempting to be in the peoples corner but only because it will benefit her. Obama is merely trying to follow rules period. Wake up and do research. Use the internet ect..

Obama 08

sorry dean-o, you are out of touch with reality.........

you force an unqualified obama down our throats, we the Dem.

party base is going to revive the Regan Dem. syndrome.....

you and your superdelegates better listen up................

if you let the independents and turn coat republicans choose the nominee over your base. you will loose in Nov..

bowling green, Missouri

Humpty Dempty sat on a wall; Humpty Dempty had a great fall.
All the DNC’s horses and all the DNC's men couldn't put Humpty Dempty back together again..

I will not rally to Obama if he wins, with out counting all states.

It's to late Mr. Dean, the democratic party really made a mess of this. If you don't give Hillary , her fair share of the Florida votes, and you don't do a re-vote in Michigan so she has a fair chance. Hillary supporter will try to convince her to run as an independent, or we will vote for McCain. The DNC tried to hard to over look her and push Obama in the White House even though he is not the best candidate.

The race won't be resolved until Florida and Michigan primaries results to be counted.

End it Dean, so the dems can work towards getting indies and liberal repubs to replace these worthless” if it isn’t Hillary crybabies. Why waste your time waiting and telling people you will vote for McInsane, get on Mccain's train now. Hillary is going to lose. Tell your grandkids why they are fighting a war you idiots had an opportunity to stop. It is funny you think everyone in Fl and Mi feels like Hillary wanting a re-vote, because they don't. Hillary and those of her cult outside of those 2 states did not give a rat’s behind about them until Hillary found herself on other side of a Obama butt whipping. When she tries to run again in 2012 don’t think that everyone will forget how she and her cult tried to bully the party. No votes for you. Have a good day and God Bless.

Sorry Dean, not going to happen, I want someone with Experience and that I know more about, things are just now coming out abut Obama, by Nov. there will be A LOT more. She lied about sniper fire, HE LIED ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH AND HAVING A MENTOR WHO IS A RACIST, about his house deal, about the people he has used and now backs down from. How many people does he own this campaign too>>>

Nice to see the Hillary's Hate Club members are out in force.
Are you REALLY Democrats?
Clintonians for McCain--that's downright SICK.

Tampa; I want my vote counted! Go Hiliary or McCain 08

Now I know why the Democrats are having such a hard time-It is you Howard Dean!

If the DNC had fully vetted Obama-he never would have been allowed in the race. Now we are stuck with an Ego Maniac that the press loves, but our children know as "The bad man who hates America"!

Hillary is the only viable candidate left, we should be backing her with everything we have, she is our only chance of getting the White House back.

I will never rally around BO. I will vote for anyone but BO.

I am wondering why Clinton supporters are blaming Obama for MI and FL not seating their delegates. WHY???? It was the democratic leaders of those states that put them in the situation. I have heard Hillary Clinton, PA Gov. Ed Rendell, and others in her camp say it is his fault. IT IS NOT HIS FAULT!!!! Oh, because he WON'T agree to BREAK the RULES. THAT would be politics as unsual! MI and FL democratic leaders are the reason. The Clinton says Obama is not allowing citizens have their voice heard because he WON'T agree the BREAK the RULES. The DNC made the rules and he WON'T BREAK the RULEs

if only this were true, howie!

if it's obama, we've got a lot of insane hillary supporters who will vote mccain over obama-they better be careful what they wish/vote for....

so we will end up with a hot-head who needs anger management and who supports continuation of our occupation of iraq, another unwinnable occupation in iran, more bullying worldwide, tax cuts for the uber-rich, outsourced jobs, corporate welfare....all because some hilary supporters didnt get their way!

the longer this goes on the more rested mcsame gets, the more lies he creates, and the closer to becoming george bush he will become. obama needs to be free to fight mccain and all his lies and war-mongering ways, not fighting hilary waiting for the rovian way they plan on getting the nomination

Everyone knows when the "smoke clears and the dust settles", only a Obama/ Clinton ticket will practically guarantee a Democratic victory in Nov.

I hope Hillary and her supporters start a new party. Then, Obama and his supporters can focus on the Republicans and the New Liars Party.

According to Dean the contestants are separated by less than 1/2 of 1% and they are not counting 2 of the largest states and the losing side is supposed to think that is fair. Now that is wishful thinking.

Many of the Clinton supporters will vote for Obama because they are good democrats and really care about democratic issues. However every day that Obama supporters trash Clinton or insist that she withdraw more of her supporters tend to rethink voting for Obama if he is the nominee. Obama encourages and allows these horrible things to be said and one day he may wonder why 50% of the democratic party is not supporting him

NOW YOU WILL LIVE BY THEM, EITHER FOLLOW THE RULES THE WAY THEY ARE WRITTEN, AND LETS ALL GO TO THE CONVENTION FLOOR, OR COUNT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES.

IF NOT, YOU CAN SING HAIL TO THE CHIEF TO JOHN MCCAIN.

NO WAY WE ARE ACCEPTING A NOMINATION BY CHEATING.

How can Nancy Pelosi think that she can demand Bush to enforce demoncrancy in China when she is advocating to stop the democratic race before everybody has vote? Just because she supports Obama? Obama does not have the 2024 delegates required by the rules of the democratic party to win the nominee. There is no way you can support democrancy in another country when you are stopping it in your own.

I am concerned about the Economy, I have family in Iraq. I am really concerned about my Step Daughter in Iraq. Terrorism here on U.S. Soil is extremely important to me. President Clinton pardoned 11 FALN members who bombed a restaurant in New York. The next year Sen Clinton won New York. That really scares and concerns me. I know that if Sen Obama is not the nominee, I have to vote for Sen McCain. I cannot vote for someone who would pardon convicted terrorists who are already behind bars.

I don't care if Obama wins or loses in November as long as he beats
Hillary. However, if hillary wins the nomination, I'll vote for her. I'll vote for either one of them as long is not McBush, (oh, I'm sorry, I meant to say McCain). Any true democrat will vote for either Obama or Clinton. The Clinton's supporters who said they won't vote for Obama if he wins the nomination have another issue, and we all know what it is.

I agree with most of the responses. I have been a lifelong Democrat and if Hillary is pushed aside I and many of my friends will vote for McCain. So, Dr. Dean, you had better do something about Fla and MIch because that 40% number of Hillary supporters switching to McCain is not a fantasy but real.

Bunch of spoiled brat cry-babies, you Hillary supporters are.

"If my candidate doesn't win, I'm gonna let the Republicans controll the White House, the Iraq War, Healthcare and Social Security for 4 more years."
Grow up.

Yeah, the party will "unify" just like Hillary's and Bill's marriage........OUCH!!!

TRUST ME guys, I got more where that came from....LOL!!!

it will nor happen if the fl. and mic votes are counted. Clinton or MacCain.
Hillary should consider going indepented. She will win.

08 Hillary

You all should know that you can vote for anyone by writing in; I used to think that was equal to throwing a vote away, and if you write in for Superman, I guess that is, but if it's for an actual candidate or former candidate with whom you're really connected and in whom you believe, I'm starting to think that it's not throwing a vote away... it's actually a good thing to do, which is why I'm voting for Obama no matter what. I really believe in him and I think he deserves, not only my vote in the Oregon primary, but also in the general election.

Those of you who claim to be Hillary supporters who'll vote for McCain I hope you're just kidding, because I can't figure out a singe issue in which that is a sane option... McCain over Obama? Write in for Hillary, if you're really that committed... unless you need to be committed, that is.

They are wrong about the superdeledates. The rules of the superdelegates were set long ago. And those rules give the superdelegates the right to go against the popular vote if needed to secure the best democratic candidate for the general election. Hillary should go all the way to the convention floor if FI and MI is not included in the voting process. It would be a disaster for the democratic party to not include the voters of MI and FL.

Forget it. I'll never vote for Obama and blacks will never vote for Clinton if he doesn't get the nomination.

It will take courage, but the Democrats need to search their souls
and stand for the person that they believe in their hearts is a good
person. We need "a Good person" with scruples to be our Pres.
America has been deceived too long. I want to hear truth, when
I turn on the T.V. The truth is what counts, here.

Mr. Dean,

You are out of your mind.

Come on Dean, the only way Hillary is going to say its fair is if she's met her life long dream of sitting in that white house chair come Jan.
2009. What's not fair is that the voters have seen her tax returns and her ear marks.

I will not vote for Obama nor will I vote for McCain. People like our Senators, Kennedy, Kerry etc endorsing Obama has really destroyed
our voting system and like many Americans, I am throughly disgusted!

I am not uniting anywhere around Obama.

all the clinton supporters that are in the process of getting their feelings hurt and proclaim that they'll vote mccain are more or less selfish pricks. wake up and smell the roses before there aren't any to smell.

If Clinton is not nominated for President, that does not mean I will automatically be voting for Obama. I feel that Obama lacks experience at this point in time. Perhaps in another 4 years, with more experience under his belt as a Senator from IIlinois, I would vote for him. But not now. If Clinton is not nominated for President, I will cross party lines and be voting for John McCain this fall.

Well I know of 11 people who will not vote democratic now if Florida isn't seated as is.... so if Dean knows what is good for him .... he should quit talking.... because I think the DNC is in for a rude awakening.

Don't hold your breath Mr Dean. This will not happen especially if the Florida and Michigan votes are not counted. If it ain't Clinton it will McCain 08 for me.

While the Clinton supporters try to make up or dig up dirt on Obama, there is already more than enough dirt on the Clintons that any normal person would have been to embarrased to run for office. She has more political baggage then any other person. Her refusal to release tax returns and her earmarked spending shows that she has more skeletons in her closet that have to be brought to light. I find it funny that so many people remeber Bill Clinton as a great President instead of the womanizing, bullying, censured President he was.

MORONS, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THE NOMINEE IS, HILLARY, OBAMA, MCCAIN, THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY THE CFR'S OR THEY ARE DONE AWAY WITH. ALL OF THEM GET THE NOD, ONLY WHEN THEY AGREE TO PLAY BALL. THERE WILL NEVER BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE.

Sue, Michigan;

Why are you still thinking about Floirda & Michigan? You must be thinking like CNN. It has already been resolved, there WILL NOT be a re-vote, nor will Hillary be receiving any of the result. Tough luck.

dean is correct

everybody including specially the MEDIA need to simmer down

let the democracy work – this is america
let all the voters vote – this is not saddam hussein's iraq
and let all the votes count

If we want this war to end and have a better economy. Dems to need to UNIFY. Mcain is not going to end this war and knows little about the economy. I dont know anybody who wants to see another man or woman taken down in Iraq. Vote for the Democrat beacuse it is the right thing to do. Dont jump ship or not vote due to not liking one or the other. We need to unify for the good of our nation! I dont want Hillary for president but will vote for her if she wins the primary. I really dont care for Billary eaither but it is the values we share today to get our men and women back home and to rebuild relations with freindly nations.

dean is right ... people will unify around the nominee. however, i think the july 1st deadline is a little too late. the deadline should be the beginning of june or mid-june. Obama is the best candidate and has the best chance to win in november. i will continue to travel state to state volunteering for him ...... obama volunteers are super dedicated to our cause and we will win in the end. Yes We Can!!!!!!! OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This party is divided, especially among voters. Clinton will not feel she was treated fairly either if they won't seat the delegates in Michigan or Florida. Obama won't feel he was treated fairly if the super delegates don't pick him if he's leading. What a mess.

the dems will not unite behind the party,I have been a dem for 50 years and I support Hillary,I will not vote for obama.For the first time in my life I will vote for a republican and I will leave the dem.party.

I am disgusted with the back stabbing,disloyalty aqnd the hands off obama,don't say anything about race,Well the democratic party will be forever known as the black party and the republican party will be the white party and god help us all

you guys that want mccain over obama have no conscience about the real issues facing our country. this isn't a sports rivalry - a lot more is at stake. If you care about health care, corruption in washington, the economic crisis, the war in iraq being waged to make oil companies and contractors richer and richer, and keeping us safe from real terrorism, then you would realize how dangerous a vote for mccain is for our country. Please, Hillary supporters, don't give the GOP another four years.

Saying it over and over doesn't mean it will happen. If Sen Obama is not the nominee, I have to vote for McCain. Pres Clinton pardoned 11 terrorist in 1999 that killed americans on us soil. I cannot vote for another Clinton. Many of the Obama votes are not Clinton votes just becasue they are democrats.

Dean is right, if the Clinton gang will stop doing McCain's job for him!

I think Clinton is already planning to run with McCain. If elected, they probably will give Joe Leiberman the job of head "War Monger".

Dean must know something that they aren't telling the public.Barring a complete meltdown by Obama due to the negativity of Clinton the final tally could not be that close.

Well, again Howard Dean is so off point. And he is the leader who has created this huge mess. I say – it is Ok to now seat all the delegates from Florida and Michigan – TODAY! as voted.........then move forward. This guy is so dilusional he has been listening to too many of Senator Obama's speeches. There will be a division and if Dean gets it so Obama is the nominee he will loose by a landslide to McCain....28% of Clinton supporters GONE.......Florida and Michigan voters GONE.......(nearly 4 million voters) and the electoral college to date show Clinton near tied with McCain and Obama in a very very distant third....just like bowling!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan as voted – whether you like it or not Howard Dean – take care of it and let the Obama people sue you because they will!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, is that what you don't want??? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will unite....around Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DNC created this problem when they handpicked a inexpereinced, unvetted Jr. senator that lacks judgement and credibility. The one thing Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, Daschle Hart and Dodd have in commmon is that they are all lost their presidential campaigns. You can add Obama to the list because clinton supporters will never vote for him in November.

Count Michigan and Florida NOW! Make this race as fair as possible (even with the caucus system that I believe is horrible). We need to make this race legit... we need everyone to count. There are still 10 contests left... if Obama is so great and wonderful, he can win this election with all votes counted. We need a strong opponent against McCain in the GE and that will only be achieved by a legit as possible process.

Sue,

The DNC is not responsible for MI and FL representatives going against party wishes and moving up their primiaries. It was clearly stated what would happen and YOUR representatives moved up the primaries anyway.

So how that translates to the DNC or Obama being responsible is beyond any logical thought process. Don't forget that Hillary signed the agreement laying out the penalties. She flip flopped and started this crusade only after she fell way behind in the popular vote, states won and delegate count. So, you may want to reconsider what her true ambitions are. Are they the rights of the MI and FL voters, I think not.

As far as the GOP smear machine, HRC has much more skeletons in the closet than a reverend with pointed comments. HRC has much more at stake, watergate, travel, shady stock dealings and the list is much longer.
The GOP will eat her for breakfast.

The longer Hillary stays in the race, the worse she looks. Everytime
she opens her mouth, she trashes someone. Good, because the
longer she stays, the more people really hate the Clinton's!!! This
is great for Bill Clinton's legacy. More History making for the Clinton's
and we thought the book was closed. Had we been so lucky.

Obama or No one 2008
Retired Professional White Woman 0f 63 for Obama from Day 1.

Hillary's poll numbers have been dropping in NC, PA and nationally over the past week or so. I don't think this is because people don't like Hillary, I think it's because of fear of a drawn out race. You have Pelosi saying the superdelegates shouldn't overturn the will of the people and shouldn't overturn the pledged delegates otherwise it will be disaster for the country. You have Richardson saying we need to unite under one individual or destroy the party. The same was said by Leahy and Casey. Then there's the media saying Hillary has no chance of winning and that if the race continues Democrats won't win the election. People are switching their votes because they know if they vote for Hillary, the race will go on. If they vote for Obama they feel it will end soon.

I disagree with those who say the will of the people is represented by the pledged delegates. Is there 1 pledged delegate for every 1 person? No. That's called the popular vote. In a fair election, all 50 states would be included. That has not been the case so far. With FL and MI included Hillary actually has a good chance of winning the popular vote.

This is why we need to do a revote ASAP to show the Amerian people that Hillary DOES have a chance in winning the popular vote. The longer we wait to include FL and MI, the less chance Hillary has in winning the nomination. In that respect, the election has been unfair to Hillary because people are flocking toward Obama because they don't realize that she likely would win the popular vote with Fl and MI counted.

Don't count on it Dr. Dean... you know like "you don't count our votes"...

You are the decider and you decided on not counting all the votes... to seat the delegates after the nomination is set will not mean a thing.

Punishing and disenfranchising the voters will cost the DNC and our country the Whitehouse in November...

never underestimate the power of a swing state.

I for once decided on going GOP for the first time.

The problem belongs to Florida and Michigan...they were warned in advance of the consequences of moving up their primary dates. Now, they will not be seated at the convention. Seems to me the party to blame is the leadership in both states. Not Howard Dean

Not if the nominee is Obama!

This arrogant guy is reaching too high too soon and his super ego will seriously defeat and derail the Democrats if he is the nominee. Obama is a great con man but America needs a president who can tackle the issues.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 or McCain!

"If the nomination is fair" is the key phrase here. That is exactly what Clinton's will use to destroy this; they are already setting this nomination up as "not fair." They are ignighting the MI and FL voters and telling them that it is Obama who disenfranchized them AND now they are riling the women of this country and getting them to believe that white men are pushing them out of leadership roles.

Watch out America – pretty soon this will be chaos. "Unfair" will just be the start. Democrats: you have your head in the sand...

~ A White, older female FOR Obama

Don't count on it Dr. Dean... you know like don't count the votes...

You are the decider and you decided on not counting all the votes... to seat the delegates after the nomination is set will not mean a thing.

Punishing and disenfranchising the voters will cost the DNC the Whitehouse in November... never underestimate the power of a swing state.

I for once decided on going GOP for the first time.

I AM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU MR DEAN.

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.

yeah, right. don't count on it at the rate these two are going.

Dems united in '08

Say NO to 4 Bush 3rd term.

Hillary Clinton lied when she told Iowa and New Hampshire that she would go along with DNC rules regarding Michigan and Florida.

We cannot trust such a blatant liar. We need someone who tells the truth and follows the rules.

California Independent: "walking ego" – great one!! How true.

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

Dean – First resolve the FL and MI votes and then we can talk.

We should be glad he's no longer practicing medicine and using his political brand of mathematical brilliance in calculating dosages of drugs he prescribes for his patients. The Democratic nomination process this year is profoundly undemocratic. Fortunately, the two remaining candidates are weak excuses for leaders if the Free World and are unelectable.

No Howard, they wont. There are many Clinton supporters like me who believe that Obama is a disaster waiting to happen and will be voting for McCain if Obama is the nominee. I'm sure that many Obama supporters feel the same way. I urge all Clinton supporters to join me.

Yeah when pigs fly Dean. Just shut up.

Sure will. If it's Clinton. Obama? eh, not so much. Dean is a moron if he still refuses to notice that many Clinton supporters never supported Obama and as more info about the walking ego with no experience comes out, more people are turned off by Obama.

Obama doooooomed in Nov.

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

Agreed, in the end, the dems will rally around whomever gets the nomination. If they don't, then they can't complain about the next four years under republican rule, (God forbid)

Yeah, right. Speak for yourself, tool.

You're an Idiot DEAN. No way the majority of us Democrats that are for Hillary will vote for Obama. IF OBAMA WINS PLEASE HILLARY RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. YOU WILL WIN. There is enough of us out here to see it through. First place I don't think you're going to lose, but if that chance happens, think Independent. Then you won't have to listen to the DEANS, KENNEDYS, PELOSI's, KERRY's RICHARDSON's, etc. You will be your own woman. We definitely need another party now. The Democrats have destroyed themselves this time around. HILLARY 08

He's right, but I'm not sure how you make any result from Michigan or Florida fair at this point. The DNC really screwed that up, as far as I'm concerned. We voted in good faith, and the election was legal, and must count, under law.
I can only pray that Hillary scores BIG in PA, and bigger yet in the remaining states. The Republican smear machine can't wait to get a crack at Obama, and I'm sure they are terrified that Hillary will pull this out because McCain can't beat her.
