STFU and DROP OUT.
Thanks
Essentially of the 11 or 12 eastern slope to the Mississippi states north of Oklahoma and Texas should all go to the Dems if we select a candidate from that area. Sebelius, Schwietzer, Richardson, McCaskell, those kind of folks and in about that order.
But still, I like very much, Clark. He's the kind of guy that can help fix the problem in Iraq.
balkans, and Iraq is a similar kind of mess, only much worse. So I very
much like to see him in high places. He's a great man in my mind.
Obama could use Clark's military cred to combine with Obama's sound anti-Iraq stance. Clark disarms and disembowels senile McCain's obvious military cred.

The train is leaving the station.
whoo-whoo!
Been reading comments on Huffpo from people in other parts of the world: They're excited too.
"It's time, ladies and gents.
It's time to play, 'TAKE BACK YOUR GOVERNMENT'!!
It's time to get a hold of our under-informed friends and family, and organize for the big fight! The fight for the survival of the middle class! Countdown to November JUST BEGUN.
Go Progressives, and GOBAMA!"

Good job guys!
Barack Obama goes far beyond rhetoric and sexy. I urge you to start reading about him to find out about the content of the man. A good start would be his book, "Dreams From My Father." That book started me as a supporter of Barack Obama -- me, a person with many very strong Republican beliefs.
What you will find out is that Barack Obama has incredible integrity, the courage to put it all out there, with no sugarcoating to make himself appear better. You will also find out that he has the very rare ability to turn a dream into a vision, a vision into action and action into results. In addition he is bright, has eleven years of combined experience in the Illinois and US senates (HRC has seven years), and has leadership skills, the likes of which we will not see again in our lifetime.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is a liar -- not just a rumoured a liar, but a documented liar -- wrapped in equally documented scandals. Most significantly she was fired from her position on the Watergate Judiciary Committee for being a liar and unethical, dishonest lawyer. That, in itself, should be sufficient grounds to preclude her from being a candidate, let alone from being president. Her other unattractive qualities of adopting the political sound bites of the moment to further her ambitions, padding her resume (cause for dismissal in the corporate world) and riding on the coattails of an abusive husband are moot points, because she does not meet the integrity threshold we should be demanding of our leaders.
Her campaign is giving us a very clear picture of what we could expect from her as president. A clear picture of a shameless president with no concept of behaviour boundaries. She is now claiming another attribute: being a fighter. Yes, she's a fighter: a dirty fighter and a losing fighter, without the judgement to know when to stop.
If this woman were to somehow win the nomination through her politics of untrue diversions and distractions or superdelegate manipulation, it would go down as one of the darkest episodes in US history: an unethical liar winning against one of the most honest and dynamic politicians ever!
As a woman, I am ashamed of Hillary Clinton. As a person who believes we should demand that our leaders be honest, it blows my mind that anyone would vote for her, particularly women.
I look forward to a time of real hope for healing and positive change in government, hope for a level playing field in the economy (an equitable and actual living wage !), and - please God - a return to true and lasting peace in our time. Let it be . .
Obama is the Man! Vote Obama 2008!
You need to take a long look at exactly who is going to be looking out for you, your interests. Instead of basing your vote entirely on past unsubstantiated biases. If you have been a Democrat for 53 years, I am willing to bet, the likes of George H.Bush, George W. Bush and especially John McCain don't subscribe to your core beliefs. Get over yourself, you and all the other Democrats you know. It's time to encourage new ideas, passionate enthusiam and unity.
To cut your nose off to spite your face is just plain stupid, and if you have lived for at least 71 years you should know better.
Finding a candidate "sexy" as prerequisite (AND then saying you want Hillary...is this person gay or not?) is a REALLY smart way to get a great candidate in the White House.
If you are a real person, you need to work on finding out what your civil duties are. You can choose to not like a candidate, but those grounds are both wrong and stupid.
Yes, there is racism, but it has been predicted to be 12%, and the majority in Appalachia. I have a close friend in Shepperdstown, Aunt and Uncle were both in Congress. She will support the Democratic nominee in November.
The youth vote, the new voter block (Obama has been registering record numbers of voters), the Independent vote (I am in this group) all have put Obama over Clinton and will over ride the racist vote by triple digits. Obama will win over McCain because of this new dynamic, too.
You only have to look at the results in Louisiana to see this is true. A seat held by Republicans for 70 years went to a Democrat even though the Republicans pulled the racist card over and over.

Which Clinton operative will declare Gen. Clark a Judas and non-entity if he goes any further with this?
Bye bye and go home definitely, we have it enough !

I wonder if somebody said "it may be time to pull the plug on this" would be described as "expressing a desire for her to drop out." There is room for parsing here.

So we Dems will likely manage to pick the Most Liberal senator (Obama) as our candidate with no real prior political or life experience besides (a) having taking the position that he would not have voted for war authorization if he had actually been in the Senate and really had to make that tough call; and (b) having been "an organizer" in Chicago; and (c) having been the son of a single mom who once was on welfare (apparently a badge of honor). Hopefully we can have some shots of him bird hunting in Iowa in the fall to complete his faux "I'm just a regular guy like you" PR blitz.
Here we go again, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Oh well, after George Jr., McCain's got to be better. I'm depressed.
I think the process has been revealing of some flaws, but not the ones you mention.
1. Caucuses are outdated, but if a state wants to switch to a primary they have but to vote for that change.
2. Weighted congressional districts? You don't know that congressional districts are drawn so that they have basically equal populations? Of course urban areas get more of a "vote," they have MORE VOTERS.
3. FL and MI *chose* to face the consequences of breaking party rules. If the voters in those states are upset, let them take anger it to their legislators who made this bad call.
4. Superdelegates are not necessarily a bad idea. Imagine a scenario where most of the way through a primary season, say after a few of the big states have voted, a candidate is found out to have no viability (insert crazy sex scandal here). You couldn't just have the states that voted take back their decision, so for the good of the party there's a safety switch to prevent a dud getting to the general. I do, however, think that more superdelegates should be elected officials rather than random former whatnots so that they have more of a compelling interest to represent their districts/states/constituents.
So, while Obama is a liberal senator (though hardly the most, those metrics are so bizarre) he does represent an awful lot of the country and poll after poll has shown him to best McCain nationally. If you had any illusions that Hillary would have been better, time to put those aside. Obama is a great statesman and a great leader. He certainly has proved that in creating such a successful campaign from scratch at the very least. If you have any love at all for your country, you'll come onboard-- McCain brings nothing but further ruin, ruin from which I think we may not recover.
The ultimate flaw in the process will be revealed in November. Sorry to say.
Q:How are Hillery Clinton and an Oncologist alike?
A: They both make six figures destroying peoples hopes and dreams.
Funny, but not really.
