I have never - until this year - been able to cast a meaningful vote in our Presidential primary because it was already decided by Iowa, New Hampshire, and a handful of other states that are hundreds of miles away from NC. So don't tell me about MI and FL being 'disenfranchised'; they did it to themselves (with the help of the stubborn DNC). Sure, we in NC could have tried to move our primary up earlier, too, just like FL and MI did... but we played by the rules. So who's not getting a fair shake, now?

If she wants to be the leader of the free world she could start with honoring her commitments---she agreed to the rules and now that she's losing she wants them changed. If the position were reversed she would pillory Obama for what she is doing. I'm a 59-year-old white Catholic woman and that is why I'm voting for Obama.

If Hillary is on any ticket, I'm abstaining from voting for president this year. Seriously. She's from an era of negativity that needs to end. Enough of the older generation of John McCain. They were Great, but it's time to retire, Mr. McCain. Enough of the selfish, cynical boomer generation of Hillary Clinton. No more division in this world! We need new blood. A new generation. Obama is our JFK. Let us have our day. It has finally come and we won't let anyone take it away. If it is, this won't be good for our nation or the world. We need newer, fresher ideas for a world in chaos. A global world view, not so America-centric. Obama is a man of many people - the United Benneton of the presidential race. I agree with other bloggers: Obama should pick John Edwards for VP…this would clinch every single one of the voter demographics whom Obama needs, and would prove he's not a black racist, nor tied to any extreme belief systems. Edwards has been in the race and is known by voters. Edwards is well-known, very likeable, popular with Dems and Independents alike; a solid American who would be a formidable VP candidate.

You have to play 9 innings...not 7 innings for a full game. There is no weather watch involved here to end the primary race prematurely. Factor in that 100 percent of African Americans primarily have voted for Barack because he's Black , and factor in Florida and Michigan haven't been counted yet no thanks to Obama , is falsely leading the Democratic Party to select their nominee. This is why the most important thing to do is let the process run out. The Clintons will not agree that Barack who in all probability will finish with less than 2025 delegates gets the nomination. Its false and not definitive. He has less than 2025 and so will Hillary have less than 2025. There is no clear winner !! Thats the math folks. Fix the math error. How ? Instill the full contigent of delegates to 2,210 I think , which includes Florida and Michigan...all 50 states. Last time I checked the US has more than 48 states.

Make up the rules as they go along as it suits them. And to all those he who continue to incorrectly state that Obama is blocking a revote, no he isn't. It was my Michigan leaders who voted not to have a revote as it was suggested, ie mail in or a primary paid by four wealthy Clinton backers. As is there wouldn't be any questions about that, there would as there should be. Whether it would have been paid by four Clinton backers or four Obama backers. Thank you for being so concerned about us Michigan voters, but we can speak for ourselves thank you.

Do not forget that the states Clinton won are states that any democrat will win in November, expect Ohio, but if Obama is the nominee, ofcourse he will win there.
