Not that I agree with them, but she made her case for the programs and the concepts she believes ought to be supported by the Democrat party. She didn't indicate that Barak Obama would support those policies and she didn't convincingly argue that her proponents should throw their support to Obama. I think that women, successful women who are striving entrepreneurs and executives, will see Obama's policies... - higher income taxes (personal and business) - government mandated energy regulations - mandated marketing (both sides of the cash register) of alternative fuel cars - refusal to tap American owned fuel reserves - lack of confidence in nuclear power - mandated coverage of employees by employers (small business) ... and other, similar objectives, as highly detrimental to the economy in general. His lack of experience, his unrealistic theories regarding world economies and his socialist thinking will drive this country's economy into the ditch. The comments in here indicate the authors may be experiencing a bit of "buyer's remorse" in their selection of Obama as their standard bearer.

The democratic party's super delegates have said that they can not ignore the popular vote when obama had it and therefore, said that they can not vote against the popular vote and then when Hillary got the popular vote they just ignored it and said it's not about the popular vote it is about the delegate count...... well you know what democratic super delegates I will ignore you and my family and I will vote for McCain that’s 6 votes!

CLINTON 2012!!!!!

Obama will announce soon that Hillary will have a VERY HIGH place on the administration. Most likely Sec. Of State, or maybe even a supreme court nomination.

Take a stand with Hillary and say NO MCCAIN. Do you think he will give you anything if he wins? No. He will throw you in the trash and laugh at the fact he pulled an election out of nowhere.

Listen closely. 1. Hillary supporters can vote for Barack Obama, and in return we will eventually vote for hillary Clinton. 2. Hillary supporters can vote McCain, and they will lose their election in 2012 by a landslide. (ALL obama supporters will vote republican for what you selfish people did.) They will fail to see that a McCain win completely takes away the historic significance of what she has done. It's historic if her party wins. It's just a "memo" if Republicans win. It diminishes what her effect was. 3. Hillary supporters can stay at home, and will live with the conscious of not participating in the greatest change election we have ever seen. Not to mention not voting for the party that elected the first black president, and the first major woman as presidential candidate. I am as ardent Obama supporter you will find. And part of the job to unify the party is on our shoulders. Instead of ridiculing Hillary's supporters, we should welcome them. We are ONE party. NO McCain. We need them. There are 3 outcomes.

Clinton showed her suave, kick-me-when-I'm-down-but-I'll-get-up-again, tough political resolve. She spoke with a stiff upper lip, but still made her political points just as she did during her campaign. In my opinion, the Republicans pulled off the biggest political misdirection since George Bush stole the election from Al Gore in 2000, and since Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld began the Iraq War by manipulating the country's grief from the September 11,2001 tragedy. We've been duped again. It's pretty obvious to me that the biggest political opponent to the Republican party was Hillary Clinton. So what did the Republican's do? The oldest trick in the book. They secretly backed the horse with the least experience and the least chance of beating their party candidate. Barack received support, alright! It was from the Republican party who secretly made sure that this man raised more money, and bombarded more emails and internet video ads than any other Democratic candidate. All of this to one end: get rid of the best chance the Democrats have to win the Presidency...Hillary Clinton. Clinton's speach showcased her political saavy and skill more than any other time in her campaign, and convinces me more than ever that there was something amiss about Obama's campaign. And the stench of Carl Rove and dirty Republican tactics are still at work to manipulate Democrats yet again to win in November. The sad part is that it seems to be working. And as a life-long Democrat, I'm afraid of a future with either candidate. But as a life-long Democrat, I have to support my party and back the lesser of two evils. I'm not happy about it, but I feel as if I have no choice. The problem is that even if Obama manages to win the Presidency, but fails miserably on executing his policies, it will set the stage for a Republican victory after a failed Democratic administration. What a nightmare. I feel helpless to stop any of it, and I already mourn the stolen elections from both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. Obama better be worth my vote because he certainly hasn't earned it yet. The speach was great, but....she should have been the candidate running against McCain.

I feel tremendously sorry for these people who for either person gain or by direction decided to follow the mainstream in thinking Clinton has any concern for anyone but herself. Mentioning support for Obama some 10 times she failed to say that Obama was ready to be president. She said Mrs. Obama would make a great first lady and Biden ready to be vice president. She said plenty about how proud she was being a woman, women rights, and her health care with emotion; however, each time she said she supported Obama there was no emotion. I feel hurt that I actively supported her and her lies in Florida only to observe how her bitterness and hate for the will of the people finally came out. It now will be interesting to see if her name goes into nomination. Actions speak louder than words and that should signal even the most determined cynic that he intentions are anything but unifying. It is almost worth the effort to see her nominated so that the republican women and me would come out in droves to defeat her in quite possibly a landslide.

Obama ran a better, smarter campaign and the majority of votes cast in all of the Democratic primaries were cast for Obama. Don't the facts mean anything to you folks? Hillary lost, Obama won, and he did according to party rules. Now, since Obama has chosen Illinois as his adopted home state, and he launched his campaign and vp announcement from the steps of the Illinois Capitol, it would be wise to qoute President Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Senator Obama will lose and Clinton will win in 2012. Senator Obama does not have what it takes. Clinton came away today the true winner! All the Dems are watching the #'s go down for Obama - now knowing, that had Clinton been the nominee - the numbers would have been going up - up - up! The biggest difference between Clinton and Obama is that with Clinton - she is all party and all America.......with Obama it is all about him! Good luck Dems - you lose!
