Comments on: Pelosi prepared to 'step in' to end race http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/29/pelosi-prepared-to-step-in-to-end-race/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Melissa http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/29/pelosi-prepared-to-step-in-to-end-race/#comment-1161413 Melissa Thu, 29 May 2008 17:20:02 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7400#comment-1161413 Why is the democratic party so afraid of allowing every democrat in this country have a say? What would happen if we ended general elections early to prevent the country from being too split? I think it's absurd for Clinton to bow out, and I personally don't think that Obama can win the general election. The Democrats are messing up yet again. I always vote Democrat, but I may not this year if I don't think Clinton was given a fair shot to win the nomination. America is not the place where valid candidates should be pressured to step away when so many people are supporting them.

In MI, HRC was the only candidate on the ballot. If the DNC were to be fair, it would seat the delegates based on all the candidates that signed the agreement , in other words, allot a fair share of delegates to all candidates and allow them to distribute their delegates. This way this would be a fair and equitable distribution of the delegates for both states and would favor Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama.

EVERY SINGLE WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS IS EITHER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR TWISTED TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE. Hillary never once said that caucuses don't count or that they don't matter… You people are ridiculous. Get a grip.. The point is that PRIMARY Elections are more representative of the will of the majority of voters and more closely demonstrates how voters will turn out in the GE. Caucuses only cater to the small percentage of party activists usually 1% to 5% of the registered voters. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to participate due to the time constraints and voters do not enjoy the right to a private vote.. Young voters and seniors are often intimidated by the process of having to publicly announce their choice. A vote is a personal and private matter. The nomination process ends at the Convention. This is how the nomination process works..It's always been this way. primaries and caucuses were only added in the last 50 years. There is a purpose for having a convention. It's an opportunity to determine a nominee in the event that there is not a clear winner OR if that winner is not who the majority of ALL the delegates ultimately feels has the best chance of winning the GE. The primaries/caucuses were set up to have the a average voter involved in the decision making process. Not to be the final word. otherwise what purpose would the Convention and the selection of delegates serve? IF OBAMA IS WHO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS THEN THEY WILL HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AT THE CONVENTION…. We all have to accept that as the final word. OBAMA SUPPORTERS: LISTEN UP!!!

War is not good but it is sometimes a neccesity. There will never be peace; extremists all over the world will make the certain. And yes, over 4000 men and women have died in this war. They died voluntarily serving their country because they believe in the United States. This is over, what, a 6 year period? Yet every day over 3000 babies are aborted in the US alone. Let's see, that is over 6.5 million involuntary deaths in 6 years. Now who is hypocritical??? It is not the babies fault you can't leave your legs closed!

THANK GOODNESS! Party leaders need to step up and be reasonable. Seating the entire Florida and Michigan delegates would be SUCH an absurd result that I would literally have to consider leaving the Democratic party altogether. Thos primaries were NOT proper... the were NOT fair. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan!!! no campaigning occurred in either of those states. Those primaries were early...before many people even knew of Obama. Clinton agreed to the rules to not seat those delegations just like EVERYONE else. She cannot back out of that reasoned decision when it is convenient for HER. Who does she think she's folling??? It's absurd that ANYONE has taken her campaigns arguments even this seriously. The Florida and Michigan votes must be respresented. But, that means ALL of them... including the ones who stayed home due to the DNC decision... and that would include Obama and Clinton supporters. Clinton is SO full of it. She's talking about wanting all votes to count??? That requires a complete recount. She's such sneaky and manipulative. GET RID OF HER!~!!! FINALLY, NANCY!!!!

Clinton has the right to go to the convention. The problem is what it does to the party and the Democrats' presidential chances in the general election. Yes, Teddy Kennedy went in 80. Don't forget that Carter wound up losing the general election. My feeling is that Sen. Clinton needs to see she doesn't have much chance. Iif her top priority is the country and its citizens she needs to start the healing process and work for Obama in 2008. If she takes it to the convention, or if she doesn't truly work for the candidate, then we will remember. 2012 will truly become the year of ABC (Anybody But Clinton).

They lost fair and square and even giving them all of michigan and none to Barack and seating Florida as it stands does not put Hillary ahead in any categories. You would still have to not count the caucuses in order for her to be ahead in the popular vote, but what counts is the delegate vote. So if she expects to win she would have to bribe and bully the superdelegates to switch to her loosing ticket, and that is called CHEATING. the Clintons have lost but as an independent CNN commentator said a couple of weeks ago, he heard the Clintons will do anything, anything to win.
