[1] Press for Michigan and Florida to be counted even though she was party to their discounting back when it suited her. [2] Lament the proportional delegate allocation system of the Democrats and praise the Republican system. [3] Protest the validity of caucuses, when they seemed to be just fine when they were contributories to her husband's nomination process. [4] Most recently, push for popular vote consideration, even though that has nothing to do with the procedure in place for determining the nomination. How many different ways will Hillary attempt to change the rules after the process has started, and how much longer will people continue to entertain and indulge her doing so? So, we've now seen Hillary...

The reality of it is Hilary and Obama are getting blue collar, young, older, black, white , & hispanic. Obama has just gotten more votes. I don't see why the dems just can't do what the Republicans did and just split the MI and FL delegates in half and then split those in half and give each half. That would be fair. But I suspect that Hilary would not agree to that. But that would be the smartest thing too do. The smartest thing to do would have been for the candidates to fight like Hilary is so call fighting now to not have sign that sheet in the first place. But what alot of people don't realize is that atleast in FL it was their Republican contol state government that created this mess by moving it up early. Now that same governor is going around talking letting the people from his state votes count. So democrats don't be fooled about what is really going on here. You have the Republicans trying to pick the Democratic nominee. You have the operation chaos going on and yes believe it or not it is really going on. There are some idiots out there making a mockery out of once pround, honored, and saccred tradition. Our election process and voting so that they can fix the race and run against who they want to run against. And, you have an idiot like Hilary who can't see what is going on. Most of her votes are not real. You really have alot of Republicans voting for her that have no intentions in the fall. So Democrats don't be fooled by all of this mess that is going on right now.

The super delegates will vote, whether for or against the will of the people, in which case America may see a political uprising against the US government.

We are reaping Karma for what our government has sown.

It is dumb, and it is dumb to say Barack is out of touch. He seems to be the only one that has told the American people how little the government would be giving us for 3 months. Come on Hillary supporters, see what you will have, think, think instead of voting for her because she is a woman. This woman has a lot of skeletons in her closet, that needs to be addressed by the media. Such as the Paul incident, White Water coverup and who are the clintons getting their money from and what for. Could it be for favors. her Health care plan only supports the Insurance companies, remember she said 4 or 5 companies would oversee the Universal Health care plan. Another blow big by Hillary. She gets more money from Insurance companies than anyone. Voters need to read the issues about her. her background does is much larger than the media portrays.

If either Democratic candidate is forced to '' drop out" it will only divide the party and leave its supporters disenfranchised. And if this happens, the Dems will surely lose their bid for the White House. The Democratic candidate that runs versus McCain must have all the Democrats satisfied that every possible means and time was used in determining who the Democratic nominee should be. Without this, there will be no unity. This is less risky than being too hasty in nominating the Democratic candidate for President prematurely.

Life isn't fair.
