Hillary has her supporters in such a wild frenzy that they will continue to forget all about the issues in november. In their childishness, they will vote for McCain out of spite. And the Obama supporters are aware that there simply isn't a contrast between Hillary and McCain, so they probably won't vote at all. I just hope that whoever LOSES the nomination reminds all democrats, in no uncertian terms, that the election in november is about the contrast between a democrat and a republican - not hillary and the rival of hillary's rival. To be quite straightforward on the matter, the goals of hillary and obama are almost the same - it's just the means of accomplishing them that differ wildly. Hillary's means are very similar to that of McCain, Bush, and every president we've every had - "leave all responsibility to the government, and just go on your merry way." Obama's is to get you informed and give you a voice. it won't matter. Hillary has her supporters in such a wild frenzy that they will continue to forget all about the issues in november.

He's younger and can actually motivate people to raise their voices and demand change. All Clinton has done thus far is anger people. Let the voting play out until June...whomever is ahead should be the nominee. Michigan and Florida (that includes my vote, folks) should not count. Clinton can't catch up.

This is exactly out of the Bush/Rove fearmonger playbook. If the populace cannot see through these misrepresentations; heaven help us as we have become a polarized nation that WILL not listen and communicate with each other. Some example for the world!

Hillary is behind in popular vote by 700,000 without Florida and Michigan. Pennsylvania alone has 4 million voters. She can make up a lot of that 700000 there, then go to Indiana, and Kentucky, and West Virginia, Puerto Rico, lose some in NC and OR, and be a lot closer than you all make it seem. If Florida and Michigan went 55-45 to hillary, that closes the gap. So i fail to see how anyone thinks she has no chance to catch the popular vote. And the popular vote should matter, since the last time the US went against the popular vote, we were left with George Bush instead of Al Gore.

Lets get it together people. This is a Republician dream come true. Do you all hate Hillary or Barrack so much, that you are willing to give the Repubs the election on a silver platter? Stop acting like spoiled children, who can't get their own way. If you are a Democrat you should vote with who ever gets the nomination. This is not a popularity contest. This is real.

Why doesn't he get out of the race now, he could become a preacher like Wright and have all these discussions and debates about race, In the meantime we need a president that will stand up and fight for the people and who will govern the country and let Obama the preacher, have his open debates on why whites are racsist and let president Hillary Clinton clean up after Bush.
