A vote against Obama or any other Democrat isn't necessarily a vote against the Democratic Party. If Hitler had been a Democrat in the U.S., would it have been a bad decision to vote Republican? Voting for Obama would be like voting for a Louis Farrakhan wanna be. Sorry, but my Democrat vote isn't going there. Boy, some of you just don't get it.

Counting seems to be a problem, what are computers for? Many people write with hate in their hearts, there are those who still blatantly discriminate and don’t want an black or a female as their president, disowning their own Party and vote for the opposition because their party’s fairly chosen candidate is either black or a woman, where I think you as an American should be proud to have the first black or female president in your history and show the world what it means to live in the land of freedom, the land of sugar and honey. Instead we see a country that starts wars, is nearly bankrupt does not have a decent healthcare system, corruption and we could go on But they still want to be the leading power in this world, they still dare to judge other country’s. I would say get your own backyard in order, Vote without spite for the party you believe in and turn your country back in what it should be, one that others can look up to and use as an example.

Obama is a racist and a liar who wasn't even black until he chose to be during his high school years.

That's my plan too. It isn't bitterness BTW. I am an independent and couldn't care less about party unity. I prefer Clinton to McCain, but McCain to Obama.

His arrogance and yes DIVISIVENESS has just made me all the *more* determined that he has done nothing to deserve my vote. Sorry but I refuse to be a lemming. If he is so determined to help americans, why did he not even warm his senate seat before running for President? And what exactly did he actually ACCOMPLISH in Illinois that makes him think he can vault from that to the highest office? Did he transform Chicago politics? Not so much. Then... Take a look at his actual US Senate career-- what has he actually DONE? Not much of substance. I've done lots of community volunteering. I would have voted against the war, I think the government needs a lot of work. According to this campaign, I think I'm qualified. I'll shoot for 2016 and start looking for a suitable runningmate. Now to find a vapid slogan...... Good for her! That's my plan too.

There's nothing wrong with stating that racism and sexism exists in this country - those are facts. But the way in which Ferraro tries to make her points about those conditions just keeps making her appear to be a mud-slinging, marginalized has-been trying to get her name in the papers again.

If we are all Democrats let's support the nominee. It is not like Hillary is sqeaky clean she has a horrid past that would have dredged up. Hillary , "Women and Warrior for the 'hard working whites"" was somerthing manufactured by her campaign when the racial divide was seen. Come on Hillary is a millionaire with a silver spoon in her mouth If you are a Democrat then you know that McCain is not good for your interest and writting in Hillary is a throw away vote. As a women, I am sad that we will be unable to have a women president, But what I also know is we can not have 4 more years of Bush Policies. Wake up people! Put race aside and think! There have been 43 white presidents you can vote for one black one!

On the other hand, "boy" has never been a term of endearment to African-Americans. Never have, and never will.

He is not the first black man to run for the presidency. Why did the others fail to make it up to this level? Were they not who they were? The fact is that Obama has run a very strong and intelligent campaign. He has practically beat Hillary on all fronts - ranging from fundraising to actual votes and supporter-turnout. With all due respect to Hillary, but her campaign organization failed to plan very well and never anticipated tough opposition from someone like Barack and that is where they got it all wrong. By the time her campaign machine caught up with this oversight, it was already too late because the momentum had already shifted towards Obama. That is why they have playing catch-up when it should never have been that way in the beginning. In any case I will not ask her of any others who think like her to vote for Obama but I ask that they let the rightful candidate emerge.

CNN yesterday reported that the crowd for Obama's speech was 50,000 when the actual number was 75,000. There were only very few people at Clinton's Stump speech, but it was covered in full with good audio, but when Obama started speaking, the reporter had a lot of things to say and won't shut up and the audio quality was so poor when Obama started speaking.
