People, as duly noted by this presidential nomination process, cannot take a "STAND," then "STAND BY THEIR DECISION THROU THE END." Most of what I have seen from super delegates, politicians, and media is an inability to look at the "REAL" facts as evidenced by experience, track record, and fortitude for staying on course, then making a decision "AND STAYING THE COURSE." What does that convey to the younger generation. Do what you will???? Perhaps that is why the U.S. is in such a depressed recessive state. Get lost OBAMA - you and your good old boys club are about to be taken to the cleaners by Women Count PAC.

So, the democratic nominee, with the support of the party, independents, and disenfranchised republicans, will win those states in order to keep Senator McCain out of the White House and prevent the continuation of failed policies of the current administration. Of course, she is counting Florida and Michigan in her 300 electoral vote count, her continued fantasy. I hope the good citizens of both those states realize who was responsible for their votes not counting, their state parties and government.

The longer this circus continues the more I am convinced that Obama should be the next Democratic nominee. I saw a side of Hilary that I wish I have never seen. That woman is so self-centered, egotistic, and power driven person. She doesn’t care about the Democratic Party; all she cares about is being back in the White House. I would rather see McCain as President than have hell on earth Hilary Clinton as the next President of United States . Sometimes, I wonder, which party she really belongs to.

He did support both candidates a year ago, which shows he has an interesting and open-minded approach. And he is a democrat. I have discovered an interesting fact about Hillary supporters (some of my friends are)-they get their news from Hillary's website, then come on to Mainstream media articles uninformed and bombastic. This is my news ritual: Whatever it says on Obama's site, I look at CNN, NY Times, msn, and Wall Street Journal to get a more objective, or at least outside, view. If these sites don't seem to have the same info, I keep looking. If it's an important issue, I check if "democracy now" has covered it. I think if Hill (and McCain) supporters followed this, they would have more substantive things to say than "peer pressure" "experience" "ahead in the popular vote" "stealing the election" "she deserves it" "she tells the truth" Although, if they were researching the issues, they might not support the same people anymore, we should all be open to ideas, and not to the cultish, closed-minded "Hillary or McCain" "Hillary 2012" mentality. We have a world to take care of RIGHT NOW. Stand up and take responsibility, America. Get informed. NOT from the candidates websites, but from a variety of sources.

If you think about it..there really isn't a need for these people to endorse anyone. Oh well, they can have Obama I'd rather leave the country than live under his rule.

I wouldn't give two cents for his preference for the nomination. This man has never given his children a penny and has left them very little in his will. His daughter once needed a new kitchen and he lent her the money and had her sign an installment contract and pay it back monthly. He also did not even pay for their education. Now I can understand teaching children responsibility but give me a break. They say he is a tyrant. His endorsement means nothing.....just another person trying to get on a bandwagon to nowhere. In the end it will have all been for nothing. McCain will be our next President. Warren Buffet is the richest and also the cheapest man alive.

What for? Its the same CRAP as when Bush stole the election from Gore. It doesn't matter. She would still be in the lead with Fl and MI. What a crock. Same with MCGovern. In my opinion , it is cowardly not to finish with what you believe to the end but to say oh well she won't win now so we will just SLITHER to the otherside and hope we will be in that person's good graces.
