Period. Millions of people got out and stated their opinion. Why would anyone discount that in the face of tenuous telephone surveys? But on the subject of electability, has anyone else noticed that conservative republicans that have voted in the democratic primarys have gone 2-1 for Hillary? Now who in their right mind will believe that those conservatives will actually vote for Clinton in the general election? These are the Rush L. drones who are trying to draw this out. You gonna tell me the superdelegates don't know this is going on? Or that Obama leads in self-declared independents in the states that have already voted?

We don't believe Obama has been up front and forthcoming about his past with his pastor and his church. We don't like his temperament, we don't like the fact he is hiding behind his half black race... Don't people realize this man is just as much a black person as he is a white person. If he showed more white then he does black do you actually believe he would be were he is today. I don't thank so. If he were to play this straight, he would have already been voted out, and Edwards would be challenging Hillary right now.

Wright, because Bill and Hillary know fully some people will not vote for a black candidate no matter what. I can testify that with my personal experience. Two of my senior white lady friends strongly expressed their resistance to voting for Obama, but they don't like Hillary, either. One decided to vote for McCain and the other, finally for Hillary. Obviously, our education has done some good for America. Without teaching diversity after MLK, the US would probably have fallen apart a while ago. Hillary credited the civil rights movement to LBJ, instead of MLK. Just ask everyone in the US and around the world. It is laughable for a presidential candidate to speak such utter nonsense.

What are they actually saying? Let's be very clear, Barak did not make this abour race. The white media (they control) did, they started breaking down polls by race. The fact is that not only black people but people of all races (which make up America) are voting for Barak. It is time to wake up and see who you really are, and stop hiding behind the comments of someone else who may or may not have their own issues with race.

I'm surprised the electability issue gets so much talk,,, I've seen CNN "call" the election with less than 3% of the votes in,,,all the math and polls indicate Obama's the winner...just call it and stop the media madness!

Obama ! Yes we DID !!!

Hillary Clinton carries the swing voting whites and will get the African American vote with Obama's support as a VP. The Republicans are setting up the Democrats again for a squicker win in November. Obama cannot win the General Election in November, we are going to be stuck with McCain and Bush policies for another four years........PLEASE do not give the nomination to Obama.

Ok if the polls say that at least half of Clinton supporters in both Indiana and North Carolina would not Vote for Obama and only about a third of his said the wouldnt vote for Clinton then how could you not see that clearly she is more electible?! Not to mention the fact that she has won most of the primaries in the states that are swing states and very important in the general election!! The fact is that in the general election the electoral college matters (whether we like it or not) and Clinton has a much greater chance of winning the states that really effect the electoral college votes and are usually pretty evenly split between democrats and republicans (Ohio, Penn., FL, Michigan). The fact is that many of the states Obama has won through out the primary are guarenteed red states, so congrats he won them, but come general election time it is not going to matter! I just do not understand why everyone just ignores this issue!! It is the total achilles heal of the Democrats: our canidates need to be ELECTIBLE!!!! Hello does anyone else remember John Kerry, Michael Dukakis, or Al Gore?!??!

Oops, i think I see a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes and a nasty burnt smell of cookies in the oven.

Hillary can't teach because she criticized Laura Bush about being a teacher, and Clinton made the comment that Laura should get a real job. I laugh in the face of all teachers across America that voted for Clinton, Maybe they should get a "real" job. How can you support someone that does not support you? Teachers do have a "real" job and should be commended for having that position. I would much rather cling to my belief in God and cling to my gun to protect my property, family and what few valuables I have before I am forced to surrender them to a "socialistic government." The superdelegates have an obligation to follow the pursuits of the pledged delegates. It does not matter about "electability", it's a matter of common sense. If the superdelegates decides to favor Clinton over Obama when Obama is ahead in popular votes and delegates, it will cause a serious division in the Democratic Party.
