Condaleeza Rice-- very experienced in world matters, intellegent young who speaks fluent Russian. 4.Tom Ridge--- popular Gov in a swing state.

In the election of 2000, the Democratic Party was fighting with the Republican Party when not ever vote was counted in Florida and 2.5 million voters were disenfranchised. We (democrats) claimed THAT THE POPULAR VOTE SHOULD BE THE DECIDING FACTOR when deciding on a President between GORE and BUSH. And now in the 2008 election the DNC claims that FLORIDA and MICHIGAN should not be counted (seems like they have no problem disenfranchising these voters) and also THAT THE DELEGATES COUNT SHOULD BE THE DECIDING FACTOR NOT THE POPULAR VOTE. Talk about who is changing the rules now. How incredible stupid we look. To Howard Dean i say be the leader that you should be to the Democratic Party by defending the FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTERS. These are the very basic reasons why: 1). THE VOTERS SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THE STUPIDINESS OF THE POLITICIANS. 2). THE VOTERS DID THEIR CIVIL DUTY AND VOTED. ANYONE WHO DIDN'T VOTE THAT'S NOT THE FAULT OF THE ONES WHO DID. 3). THE VOTERS IN FLORIDA WERE AWARE OF THE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT. OBAMA ACTUALLY HAD AND ADVANTAGE AGAINST HILLARY BECAUSE HE HAD TV CAMPAIGN ADS RUNNING IN FLORIDA. FLORIDA'S ORIGINAL VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED. 4). THE VOTERS IN MICHIGAN VOTED FOR HILLARY AND THE OBAMA VOTERS VOTED FOR HIM UNCOMMITTED WHICH IS WHAT THE OBAMA CAMP TOLD MICHIGAN VOTERS TO DO ON ELECTION DAY. hE DIDN'T HAVE TO TALE IS NAME OFF THE BALLOT. THAT WA JUST A BONEHEADED MISTAKE ON HIS PART. HE SHOULD TAKE PERSONAL BLAME, NOT BLAME THE VOTERS. 5). THE VOTERS WANT HOWARD DEAN TO STAND BY: WE THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE, OTHERWISE THIS WILL NOT BE LEGITIMATE DEMOCRATIC WIN! LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD AND COUNT OUR VOTES! How incredibly stupid we (democrats) look to the Republicans right now.
In the election of 2000, the Democratic Party was fighting with the Republican Party when not ever vote was counted in Florida and 2.5 million voters were disenfranchised. We (democrats) claimed THAT THE POPULAR VOTE SHOULD BE THE DECIDING FACTOR when deciding on a President between GORE and BUSH. And now in the 2008 election the DNC claims that FLORIDA and MICHIGAN should not be counted (seems like they have no problem disenfranchising these voters) and also THAT THE DELEGATES COUNT SHOULD BE THE DECIDING FACTOR NOT THE POPULAR VOTE. Talk about who is changing the rules now. How incredible stupid we look.
To Howard Dean i say be the leader that you should be to the Democratic Party by defending the FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTERS. These are the very basic reasons why:

1). THE VOTERS SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THE STUPIDINESS OF THE POLITICIANS.
2). THE VOTERS DID THEIR CIVIL DUTY AND VOTED. ANYONE WHO DIDN'T VOTE THAT'S NOT THE FAULT OF THE ONES WHO DID.
3). THE VOTERS IN FLORIDA WERE AWARE OF THE CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT. OBAMA ACTUALLY HAD AND ADVANTAGE AGAINST HILLARY BECAUSE HE HAD TV CAMPAIGN ADS RUNNING IN FLORIDA. FLORIDA'S ORIGINAL VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED.
4). THE VOTERS IN MICHIGAN VOTED FOR HILLARY AND THE OBAMA VOTERS VOTED FOR HIM UNCOMMITTED WHICH IS WHAT THE OBAMA CAMP TOLD MICHIGAN VOTERS TO DO ON ELECTION DAY. hE DIDN'T HAVE TO TALE IS NAME OFF THE BALLOT. THAT WA JUST A BONEHEADED MISTAKE ON HIS PART. HE SHOULD TAKE PERSONAL BLAME, NOT BLAME THE VOTERS.
5). THE VOTERS WANT HOWARD DEAN TO STAND BY:
WE THE PEOPLE
BY THE PEOPLE
FOR THE PEOPLE, OTHERWISE THIS WILL NOT BE LEGITIMATE DEMOCRATIC WIN! LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD AND COUNT OUR VOTES!

Obama supporters are in DENIAL. He did drugs in the past but they don't see that. He likes to twist How can he fight the drug dealers if he becomes US president? DRUG LORDS IN COLUMBIA MIGHT JUST GIVE HIM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO HE CAN ALLOW THEM TO BRING ILLEGAL DRUGS INTO US. THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH RECORDS OF HIM IN THE NATIONAL LEVEL. BUT THEN AGAIN WHO AM I TO JUDGE BECAUSE ALL HIS SUPPORTERS ARE WELL "EDUCATED". I WILL DEFINITELY VOTE FOR MCCAIN. Hi Linda,
