So, in the end, this is what all the red-faced, finger-pointing, strong-armed Clinton tactics have succeeded in doing. Anyone who refuses to recognize the value that Obama clearly brings to the Democratic ticket as the nominee has been the victim of a deliberate and calculated brainwashing campaign orchestrated by Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and all their surrogates. How un-American. We've suffered through it long enough!

There are tapes of her saying that she agreeded to the decision. She is using these supporters because she now needs their votes! These women are so blinded by the fact that they want a woman president that they are not even looking at this situation rationally. Talk about "drinking the kook-aid!"

This group is truly delusional if they think it's fair to seat the delegates according to the illegitimate primaries in Michigan and Florida, especially Michigan. This group is reacting on high levels of emotion rather than intellect and rationality. We all know that when emotions run high, especially in women but men too, we all do things we normally would not do. If you give all of these people some vellum they wouldn't act so irrational.

If these states get away with this then every state will feel they can break rules and get away with it. It's not the voter's fault that that the legislatures screwed things up. At the same time though, why does Hillary feel it necessary to bus demonstrators in to support her cause? And why on Earth do we keep hearing the same threat that if she is not the nominee, we'll vote for McCain? Talk about trying to steal the nomination!!! If Clinton had any decency, she would speak up and tell her supporters to stop with this nonsense and let the process work. She should also say that if she's not the nominee or even on the ticket, they have a moral duty to support the Democratic nominee. This has really turned into a sad state of affairs.

I live in here in South Florida and I think Feldman's statement is ludicrous. Our primary was a non-event,and everyone here basically regarded it that way.And we Democrats in Florida are not "in danger'.Thousands here are geared up to organize for Obama in the coming election.There are e-mail campaigns here and special events taking place that are keeping the level of enthusiasm high . We're going to "Count Every Vote" in November,and this 56 year old white Jewish voter can't wait to vote for Barack Obama.

How can you seat a delegate without someone's name on it? Are we in third world country? Delegate should be devided into 2 so that it doesn't have any impact just as it was meant for by breaking the rules. Millions stayed at home not voting knowing there vote won't count. What about that? This will be little not les than Castro election in Cuba.

When it was decided that the votes from those two states would not be counted she started to lose her "momentum" in favor of Obama. This is unworthy a fair election in a democratical party - don´t you agree? Rigid and meaningless rules and technicalities should not be allowed to settle the nomination.

In this instance, Hillary's handlers are perfectly willing to make the DNC look bad in her take-no-prisoners attempt to stay in the race. It won't work, serving largely to lower the esteem in which she is generally held among her colleagues in Congress. She has lost the nomination. Now she is losing position in Congress.
