Comments on: McAuliffe says Clinton staying in, will win popular vote

We must unite under one candidate and not disenfranchise any voters. I see how all of you may be upset at the happenings in Florida and Michigan but dont blame it on Obama, he did not veto them, nor should you blame it on the DNC or howard dean. I do believe we should come to an agreement on those states asap however, both candidates agreed that the states were breaking the law.
All clinton supporters who blame obama for "disenfranchising" 2 states, well not counting 4 caucus states is also disenfranchising all who went out to vote as is not counting any of the uncommited votes in Michigan. Please some of the comments by some obama supporters are outrageous, we need to come together as a party under one unifying candidate and that i believe is the one whom the majority of voters have chose Barack Obama 08!!!!
Maybe clinton divisive network wont post this but im just trying to make myself feel better!

If my vote in Florida doesn't count in the primary, I'm sure there are many in Florida and Michigan that will be writing the name of Hillary Clinton on their ballot in the general election. Better yet, maybe she will run as an independent and we can leave our pen at home.

If Hillary is not the nominee, I am voting McCain for General Election, at least with McCain I know what I am getting into.

We Hillary supporters will rain McCain with our vote.

Just like she regrets how she handled health care and just how she regrets supporting the Iraq invasion, I bet that she now regrets supporting the DNC's decision to not recognize Florida and Michigan, and I bet she regrets listening to Mark Penn until it was too late.

I kinda like Hillary, but she has habit of making bad decisions and then covering them up with "if I knew then what I know now."

Sorry, but that's not good enough.

Mr McAuliffe, You left out the State of Oregon, which has a mail-in primary on May 20, 2008. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were just in Bend this weekend and Obama is returning again so we must hold so sway...don't you think.

Obama also, has people in his campaign that have been negotiating with Hamas.
Again Obama shows that he doesn’t have the judgment to lead this country.
If he is so against Hamas he should have let his campaign know!!!!!!
For the past two weeks I keep telling all of you in the blog lets find out why Hamas is for Obama? Now we only know the tip of the iceberg.

At least Hillary doesn’t negotiate with Terrorist.

Ego uber alles.

Hillary – we do not want four more years of Clintonesque politics in Washington. Listen to the will of the people.

Return to the Senate and be a forceful leader for change from within during an Obama presidency.

If you continue on this path toward destruction, the Republicans will certainly take advantage. McCain is ailing, his wife unrelenting in her denial to release tax returns, and the Barr factor only beginning to rear its ugly head.

You alone are the only remaining impediment to success in the general election.

With all due respect to Puerto Rico, this is "Lawyerly-like spin" for Hillary & Team and it makes me ill.

Us blue-collar, hardworking, white americans that fly flags from our porches on Memorial Day tend not to like that stuff.

Hi Vera Shabazz:
I understand you are a Obama supporter and you can be fervent about it. But, the chance that Obama got to be a major candidate and most probably a democrate nominee, and most probably the US president in the near future, is because of the greatness of this nation and the greatness of the people, who are Caucasians, African Americans, Asians, Indians, Hispanics, and from many other ethnicities. So, don't bash on any specific ethnic group in general out of your frustration. No one can win this election if there is no general consensus amongs people from all ethnic groups.

America is great because the people are great.

McAuliffe is such a used car salesman! He rants and raves but fails to acknowledge that Barack has a lead using the same rules that Hillary Clinton agreed to last year.

So far the best turnout for a state has been approximately 42% of the eligible voters. "She's a fight" but I want a thinker!

Go Barack '08/12

By: Change machine

Hillary wants to change rules whenever changing suits her.

She has shown her true color during the primary. One good thing about the prolonged primary is that we got to know what the two Clintons are really like.

It is hard to believe that some people still fall for Clinton's charade. But, it is the reality out there. Some people resist any change. For many, changing is a danger to their existence. However, the U.S. has enough people who believe that it's time that we changed for the better. Let us move on!

Why do we have a "Media" or rather a constitutional amendment protecting the media, if all you all do, is present words others say without any attempt at verification?

Any time Sen. Clinton's team talks about the popular vote, it should be made clear that they intend to count votes from MI for Hillary and none for Barack. This is ludicrous.

The United States of America does not need any enemies. We will be brought to our knees by ourselves if we continue to worship ignorance.

Facts are indeed Important.

Internets and blogs are properties of Obama. So, you have all admire(s) for him. We poor working Americans no time or no knowledge of computer have no chance to express our feelings for Hillary. Let the Democrats favored Obama win nomination with the cost of REAL AMERICANS who have no time to fool arround but to work and work and work for this so called elite and rich.

Let us wait until November, we show our strength-Vote McCaine 2008.

B - New York actually if you did some actual research on Obama instead of feeding into Hillary's lies then you will find out how much he really did accomplish, but there's no sense in even having an intelligent conversation with you since you're so brain washed by Hillary's lies that you can't see the truth if it slapped you in the face! Obama is an advocate for Veterans in the senate and has sponsored and cosponsored many bills that has to deal with Veterans benefits. He's an advocate for alternative energy as well. The energy bill that he voted for actually increased taxes on oil companies and increased funding for alternative energy and yes your candidate did not support the bill only because a republican was sponsoring it. Hillary feeds you lies and yet you believe every lie she tells you. At least I researched both candidates unlike yourself. Also please please vote for McCain in November, you're such a whiner.

I for one would never vote for Obama and I am in the process of moving to Penn. In that now swing state if Obama is th nominee, I will campaign for McCain and help his people pull an upset there. If Obama loses Penn., he's finished. No Democrate can win the white house without carrying Penn. I will not help him get in. Hillary will run again in 2012 and I'll pull for her all over again. That's a promise!

To all you Clinton supporters who think her actions over the last few weeks are proof that she is a good leader think about this:

a leader once played up his BS commonalities with the working man
– sound familiar?
he played on the fears of Americans
he told lies to get what he wanted -sound familiar?
and he still won't quit his mistake even though winning is nearly impossible
These are NOT the qualities of a good leader.

All this Obamanista talk about the superdelegates giving it to Clinton is a farce. The SD will have to give it to either Obama or Clinton because neither will have the pledged delegates necessary. So which one can beat McCain should be the issue. If the DNC gives it to Obama, then McCain wins. The DNC will deserve to lose the White House and the Congress because they stupidly allowed New Hampshire and Iowa to extort them to disenfranchise voters in Florida and Mich. If those two states counted as they should, Clinton would have this wrapped up. Also, they DNC stupidly allowed the first "official" primaries or caucuses to be in Iowa, NH, Nevada and South Carolina, all states that lean to red in general elections. The small pockets of Dems in those states are lefty-lefts, so they went for Obama, a person who will get trounced by McCain. Clinton polls better than Obama in large populous states that are needed to win in November.

Besides, would you want someone who couldn't manage their campaign coffers running the economy? No thanks. If that's what experience gets you, I'll stick with Obama.
