I use to support Hillary. But I changed my mind real quick as she continued to fight dirty and did everything she could to demean Senator Obama's character. She wants the presidency at all cost and I don't like her methods. Clinton and Obama have similar ideas, similar plans if they become President. But, if Obama wins, the Clinton supporters won't vote for him??? How dumb is that? I am a middle aged white woman who strongly supports Obama- but if he loses to Clinton, I will definitely vote democrat either way. Is America so stupid that they would rather have McCain in office? Even if it means more soldiers dying in Iraq? What about our problems here at home? They are both democrats!! Clinton supporters get over yourselves. If Obama wins the votes, he deserves the chance AND your support. If you don't support him, I would question the real underlying reason why you don't want him as our President. The word "racist" comes to mind.... I am so tired of this in-fighting. I use to support Hillary.

If Obama gets the nomination, the issues will not matter to me, who cares about war, taxes and the economy, or abortion rights only the fact the my candidate was beaten fairly by some "uppity newcomer" who was able to somehow "bamboozle" the majority of democratic primary voters.

Sometimes I see things from the republican perspective and sometimes I see things from the Democratic perspective. Looking at the big picture, we all want the same thing, cheaper means of living, steady pay, and a safe neighborhood in which to grow. Many of these things were taken away when the Bush administration took hold of OUR government. Now we have a chance to win it back if we can only stop bickering amongst ourselves over petty things. The majority of the people on this blog are more than likely the ones who are suffering from the affects of the current administration, but yet due to their candidate not "winnning" they will try their best to ruin it for everyone. Whether it be a Clinton supporter voting for McCain if she loses the nomination or be it an Obama supporter voting for McCain if he does not win the election or not voting at all. Quite honestly, a politician is a politician whether they are white, black, asian, hispanic, male or female. They all have promises that they MUST keep to people other than ourselves. So, I urge everyone to seriously consider why and who they are voting for in this election. Is it to smite the other candidate or is it really to better America.

We've been told from early childhool that any one can grow up to be president of the United States of America. We're the only country in the world where that is possible and that's what makes this country so great. So I understand that some democrats might not like Obama, but it perplexes me that they say that if he wins the nomination fair and square they will vote for McCain. He and Clinton have basically the same platform so why would someone vote for a Republican just because an African American is the Democratic Nominee? I think it's common politcal wisdom that the Republicans would be the first party to nominate a woman or african american candidate, and if they did I don't think you'd hear them talking about deserting the party because of it..

I would like to meet one person that dosen't have a friend or family member that said something incredibly stupid and embarrasing. How small minded to judge someone by someone else's actions. Especially a sound bite. The media is incredibly good at making an issue out of nothing. They have done it to McCain and Clinton too. Disregard and get onto the issues. 2. Hillary has also been speaking with the DNC, did you not read the whole article? She just has not come to an agreement with them. 3. McCain has a short temper. He has shown it again and again. His fist clenching, name calling and degrading responses to those who disagree with think of other leaders in Europe. Please read up on this man before you vote for him. 4. I will vote for who ever the democratic nominee is because their platforms are so similar. Both of them are intelligent, strong, and want to see better things in America. McCain will be four more years of the same. 1. I would like to meet one person that dosen't have a friend or family member that said something incredibly stupid and embarrasing.

The old ancicstors like Kennedy, Kery and the opoortunist from NM and Carry from PA are all jerk and looking forward to position in BO. But let me remind them that it will not happen. Mc will winn. If Hillary is smart she should walk away and give the nomination to BO and when BO looses to Mc this time, than in 2012 she can come and beat Mc and take the white house for 8 years.

Lanny Davis is a good example of a pathetic, political analyst loser who continues to sound like a broken record with his, "battleground states" speech. Give us a break! For all the women, established supporters for Clinton, I feel even more sorry for you because you are desperately wanting to put a "female" president in there but yet, the choice is the worst possible politician ever.
