And it is a mess. It was poorly handled from the start. Under Dean's leadership, his first leadership position since he was a "frontrunner himself--and we all know how he acted then, this mess has gotten sloppier and dirtier. No wonder he wants it over now. The trouble is that it isn't over, no matter what he says. If I were a superdelegate I would disregard what Dean says entirely. He should have worked to a position where the Dems didn't paint themselves into a corner on Florida and Michigan. Of course rules are important. A party's nominating rules need to be obeyed. But should they be imposed when the practical effect is disenfranchisement? Dean says rules are rules as the Democratic Party implodes. I want to know how the Florida and Michigan situation can not go to the credentials committee. And another thing: Does anyone ask why Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan (why his campaign didn't get his name on the ballot?) If Obama's politics of inclusion mean anything then Florida and Michigan should be counted in the nominating process. The Obama campaign didn't work in the direction of inclusion because they know that inclusion of those states means that Hillary then has a majority of the popular vote, achieves a tie in popular delegates, and is in just as good standing to be nominated. Dean wants it over now because he doesn't want to see Hillary get the nomination and never has (my personal theory only).

If they don't do it to each other, the republicans will be more than happy to do it. This is good preparation for the general; what, you think the republicans will be easier on the nominee? This makes them both a stronger candidate to face McCain. Let the process work, let everyone's vote count. We will have a nominee, and most people opposed to the war and continuation of Bush inept governing will vote for who ever is the democrat nominee. Let Clinton & Obama rip each other apart.

The only question is how long she will continue to distract Democrats from the real enemy: McBush, Term 3. I really look forward to the REAL debate between the progressive Obama and the old guard establishment McCain. Youth versus age. New ideas (Ob) versus failed bromides (Mc). Populism (Ob) versus monied interests (Mc). Rage and yes, some understandable "bitterness" (Ob) versus complacency and staying the Bush failed course (Mc). Out-of-Iraq versus "in for 100 years. " Obama is going to dismember McCain once this wretched extended nomination is finally over. All we need is for Hillary to step gracefully aside and accept her consolation prize as possibly a very powerful majority Senator next year. Superdelegates *can* help by declaring themselves now. At least for any state that has voted its primary or caucuses already. Let's get this ridiculous Clinton family dynasty out of here and let the real battle begin, the one that matters.

That is, they show gross negligence in doing research to uncover the truth. 2. Majority of Hillary's supporters write using "uppercase" letters, suggesting that they are rude, bitter, and inconsiderate. 3. Like their candidate, most of Obama supporters are very humble and put this nation "first". Wealth and greed are seen as secondary or remote issues.

He's supposed to safeguard democracy, isn't he? Is it democratic not to allow 10 more states to vote??? What's his hurry, really?? I don't buy it. And I'm not giving another cent to the Democratic Party until they allow MI and FL voters to COUNT as citizens of this country. He sounds desperate and afraid. Oh, great. I'm appalled at Dean.

I guess Democrats only want to count some of the votes, some of the time. By the way, a recount was done in 2000 and Gore lost. So get over it!

I voted for Mrs Clinton as she is my senator. I think superdelegates should come and vote for the one who is leading. I think both Sen Clinton and Sen Obama are pretty much the same when it comes to issues. I really do not understand politics in who can win the General Election. I think both of them are electable I want to see a Democrat in White House. I think this bitter fight will lead to nowhere. Thank you Kayln I am from New York.

What a bunch of jerks, I'm switching to the GOP. I will not vote for Obama, he is such a spineless, all talk kind of person. God, I hope words are all we need to solve the problems we are facing. I think we will go into a great depression (again) if he is the next President. I will at least be able to say, "don't look at me, I wanted her." McCain at least, really loves this country, and has his whole life. Your going to give this election to the Republicans, in what should have been a landslide for the Democrats.
