If it was a mistake, they should be happy and closed their mouse. Stop criticizing Obama and shows to the American people McCain will be doing something different than the Bush administration disaster.

I am sick and tired of people whining. First of all Denise if Obama really cared about Mi and FL he would have stood up for them to be fully seated from the get go. No wait, that would have meant that when Mi and FL re-voted he would have still not received the majority of votes BUT NOW that it stands in his favor to get them fully seated he is all over it like white on rice. If Obama thinks for one instance that Mi and FL will cast their vote for him he is sadly mistaken. Mi and FL dont play the Injustice game. When Obama and Biden Blow the chance of Dems getting back in office I fully expect all you OBAMAHEADS to start pointing the blame on Hillary for loosing the election - Mr Obama just needs to look in the mirror to see his arrogent bobblehead to find out who lost this election.

Do we vote Obama who took the the nomination by stealth and manuevering, or do we vote Hillary though she is corrupt and lacks all judgement? Do we vote McCain who we fear will cast us into a war with Iran and feed the oil companies? Come on America! Open your eyes, it pains me greatly to see our great nation held back by this oligarchy. Let us rise up against this tyranny collectively and defeat them the only way possible, let us vote all third party candidates into congress and the white house. Together we all can crush this horrible corruption with our freedom to vote, but it must be a concerted effort. I love the smell of corruption in the morning.

Obama was not for this move when he knew it would hurt his chances for the nomination, and suddenly there is all kinds of support. Just another Obama flip-flop. And the Obama supporters are quite arrogant. They claimed during the primary season if HRC ever got the nomination, they would NEVER vote for her and continue to spew hate and garbage, they can take partial blame for lack of unity here. You can be sure that if HRC had gotten the nomination, they would not be voting for her, so what is the difference here, if her supporters do not want to jump on the Obama bandwagon. We do live in America, where we are allowed to vote for the candidate we see as best for the office. Your choice may not be mine, and mine not yours, but I respect your right to your view....seems the obama supporters respect no one else's rights.

Pelosi, Dean and all other Democrats can spin this all they want. Obama is a creation of the DNC and the media. Please tell me another candidate that was in the senate or congress for 1 year and became a presidential nominee. Obama snubbed Hillary. He's too arrogant to believe that he needs Hillary supporters like myself. Remember voters like myself are reliable voters, young voters are not. Let's see in November if they will wait in lines for hours just to cast their vote. My bet is they won't and McCain will win.. I will never forgive the Obama people and the DNC for allowing Bill Clinton to be painted as a racist and for the way Hillary Clinton was treated by the media. Because of his arrogance Obama will lose my vote and votes of many others. He better not think that New York State is in the bag for him. McCain has a lot of support in Western New York.

But Carville---the unabashed Billary apologist has--or may have---let the cat out of the bag. He talks about four years from now. Why would he do that? EASY! It is because Billary may actually want McCain to win---figuring that he is a four year deal---and that she can politically come four years from now instead of eight (after a two term Obama presidency).

It is but a strategy the democrat saw fit at the the time. now the matter is in your hand, if you want MCBUSH to go ahead and send/keep more of our borthers and sisters to get killed because of an illigitimate war started by BUSH, then i would say, that you and your close minded fellows are blinded by POLITICS "AN ART OF MANIPULATION" Led by the republicans, and you must send your child over there so they can risk their lives for a war that is about the good will of one person that is BUSH, and his good Fellow MCcain. otherwise, stop complaining, and wake up, because America needs you now. It isn't about being a coward to face a difficulty or a sitaution, it is about being the outstanding citizen that this country needs whose main goal is a good economy = jobs for everyone. a good leader = trust, and responsiblity. Obama is the right choice, and an excellent choice for america to have an african american for president, because then, america will reallly get over its difficulties from within when we back up a minority for presidnet. it is a STEP TOWARD A BETTER FUTURE. FOR OUR CHILDREN. so I IMPLORE YOU TO WAKE UP. OBAMA/BIDEN '08 Ben,
