They may or may not support him but they do feel it will help bring the party together. Unfortunately, despite the gowing rhetoric I don't think the party will come together. Oh sure, we'll hear all the calls for uniting to defeat the Republicans and win back the White House. On the surface Democrats will "put on a good face" and soldier onward. However, I believe this primary campaign has exposed deep differences among Democrats. The differences might not be seen openly throughout the general election campaign. However, it may been seen when the ballots are tallied come Novermber and Democrats find themselves asking how in the world did the Republicans win again.

And if they don't get their way, they threaten to vote Republican. Heck, I'm a republican and I probably won't vote for McCain.

One must only look to Senator Clinton's campaign as evidence. Aside from a large group of women voters her support and success in this contest is due largely to elderly, white, uneducated voters who when polled have said they would rather vote for Senator McCain then Senator Obama. Such a trend among Clinton's supporters suggests they prefer a white candidate to a black one, regardless of the vast differences between Clinton's and McCain's political ideologies.

God speaks, to the now almighty superdelegates: the NY Giants spoiled the perfect season for the Patriots..if you love your country and want to take it back...you have your perfect season - DON'T VOTE FOR CLINTON!! and then there was light! COMEDY? or IRONY?

For whatever it's worth..perhaps, even the most intelligent woman on earth (could she be?) is not immune to some susceptibility to superstition...and bless her heart, after all this is her life's ambition at stake..

Hillary thinks.....hmmm....the NY Giants won the Suer Bowl in the last minute...no, wait, the last 35 seconds! Maybe that was a sign for me to stay in the race for I may in fact be destined to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, no matter how hopeless it looks now. Just kep on fighting.

It appears that Barack Obama’s self-inflicted negative publicity is having an effect on his chances at the Presidency. He may be doing strong in the Democrat Party, but the following survey shows he is not doing so well with the electorate at large.

From May 1, 2008 through May 5, 2008, ccAdvertising completed a survey to a combined total of 90,000 homes in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania (10,000 homes from each state) extracted from the ccAdvertising database.

This survey compared John McCain, the presumptive Republican Nominee for President against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the final contestants in the race for the Democrat nomination for President. Combined results from respondents to this survey show:

John McCain Versus Hillary Clinton:

John McCain = 40.98%
Hillary Clinton = 42.04%
No Preference = 16.98%

John McCain Versus Barack Obama:

John McCain = 45.90%
Barack Obama = 40.42%

Why do the candidates spend all this money on
running for office when all they have to do is buy a deligate lunch.

I for one will NEVER vote again when it is strictly the deligates who
decide who is the next president.

I am not alone. In light of what happened with Gore and what is happening now; the focus being on JUST on the deligates.

GET RID OF THE ELECTRAL COLLEGE.
