He even admitted as late as Monday he wasn't prepared to endorse anyone and now he backs Obama because he's worried that Hillary's landslide victory in W. Virginia could cause a divide. He endorsed Obama for his own political gain. I smell set up. I'm disgusted with the DNC right now. Hillary has devoted her entire life to public service and I for one respect her and support her.

I belong to such a union and we were not consulted before the union made their endorsement. The announcement just came down from the ivory tower in which the union bosses live. Their endorsement is based on who will be most likely to punish large companies (the idea being that union members benefit from this).

We cannot win the in November with only these voters and keep in mind these voters will vote Democrat whether its Obama or Clinton, it is the other voters we need to be worried about.

* District of Columbia (75%)
* Kansas (74%)

Speaking as a voter in a state that used to have a late primary I can say it is extremely frustrating when the nomination has already been determined before I even had a chance to vote. I believe this is the reason for such high turn out is not the excitement of one candidate but the excitement that their state matters their vote will count. The democrat party will come together in the end. It is the independent votes they need to worry about With that said the democrat party needs to serious look at how the delegates are divided in the future. If they had the same winner take all system as the republicans Clinton would be up by almost 400. Either way I think I am leaning for McCain because we created a mess in Iraq and no matter how much I disagree with what happen over there I believe we need to stay and clean up the mess we made This is just my opinion, I think this is the most exciting primary in years.

You and other people who are talking about how Barack is getting 90% of African American votes are NOT taking into consideration that African Americans make up a small percentage of the total overall votes. Let me put it this way---to make this simple--if 500 African American voters voted in a primary and 2500 whites voted in a primary...then you might hear 90% of the African Americans voted for Obama and 10% for Clinton. As for whites, 60% for Clinton and 40% for Obama. These numbers, in the first place (500 and 2500) are clearly not even in the same proportion. If there were 2500 African American voters and equally 2500 white voters, then maybe you're argument could be more sound because there is equal playing ground, but it's simply not that way. With 2500 African American votes and 2500 white votes, I guarantee you the numbers would be different. Christopher (In Edwards Endorses Obama)

She is a proven liar, has more skeletons in her closet than a Halloween store, and is no more ready to run the country than she was to run a campaign...which she failed miserably. I have to agree with some other posts who replied to PSmith: If you don't think Hillary (and Bill) are thugs, then you are a few bricks shy of a load! Do some research on the backgrounds of the two candidates and then tell me that Hillary isn't the one who is a "thug" as you so eloquently put it!

Also, to Chrissy, TX: There are plenty of educated women with brains and common sense would not vote for Hillary if she was the only candidate on the ballot! She is a proven liar, has more skeletons in her closet than a Halloween store, and is no more ready to run the country than she was to run a campaign...which she failed miserably.
