I am a University Professor and having a PhD degree consider myself educated without putting anybody down. The way Obama supporters including media putting down Clinton and her supporters are totally undemocratic and that really make me think not to vote for Obama. I am a democrat and like to vote for a democratic candidate who surrounds himself/herself with people who respect other individual. I sincerely think media should screen what Obama supporters are writing. This is causing lots of division within the party. II totally agree with Tom, St.Luis.

We will never know the answer to this, but I don't think he would be handling it in the same way she is. Maybe I'm wrong...but I just think it would have been political suicide for Obama to say he is the "more electable" candidate even though he got less votes than the other person. Nevertheless, Hillary is trying to get away with just this. I wonder why might the standard be different for her if it is different at all? If the tables were reversed and Obama was trailing Hillary in pledged delegates would he be asking the superdelegates to still give him the nomination?

I am a liberal, a woman, a mother, I have a doctorate, I am a white collar professional, and I will vote for Hillary in November whether she is the nominee of the Democratic Party or not. I will write her name in. This primary season has been a joke. The DNC has screwed-up Florida and Michigan and Obama blocked the re-vote efforts there. The old sexist lions of the party have been jumping on Clinton relentlessly to drop-out of a race that is virtually tied. She has winning coalition of support. Everyone knew she would be running this year after she paid her dues by gaining more experience in the Senate and waiting while Gore and Kerry had their chance. Everyone has rightfully made such a big deal about the first black candidiate (which is a truly wonderful thing) but somehow they always seem to forget that she is the first woman candidiate and she carries the hopes and dreams of women (who make up 1/2 our population). Many women have been waiting a lifetime to support her because she is the best qualified candidiate. Women are historically one of the biggest and most reliable voting blocks for Democrats. So, although I have always been a true blue Democrat, I'm so fed-up with the party and how it has treated Sen Clinton that I'm voting for her come November regardless of who is the Democratic presidential candidiate. This issue is too important to fail into ranks after the terrible way women and Clinton have been treated this primary season. It is finally our turn, we have the best candidiate, the best coalition, and we won't sit by quietly this time. See you in November.... I am a Hillary supporter.
