July 1st? Did they say why they plan on sitting on the fence so long? I doubt it's because Hillary is raising the level of discourse so much.
I am so ready to roll on mccain. I'm a member of DA & wish the super delegates would stop dithering so we could focus our energies on John McCain's absurd candidacy.
We should kick ass this year. As it is, we're just spinning our wheels in place because the Super Delegates refuse to step up to the plate. DA overwhelmingly voted for Obama. it would be nice if our representatives, you know, actually represented us ;-)

To add to your point about who the SDs should be worrying about. Us voters have technically been handing the Clinton's their asses since January. If votes show who you care about, or are scared of, then us wee little voters don't give a crap about the Clintons, and so the SDs shouldn't give a crap either. But that really shouldn't matter anyway. The Party and more importantly the country are what matters. The SDs know who they want to vote for, but they are chickenshits and are destroying everything the rest of us have been working so hard to build the last few years.

Karl Rove seems to have gotten his permanent neo con majority....the Democratic Party has nearly finished destroying itself.

I've been hearing that Dems will pull off a landslide in Nov., so, why do they keep showing those stupid polls that show each Dem neck in neck with McCrazy?
This is very misleading, and we know McCrazy and the Rethugs will be lucky to get 40% of the general vote.

As a fellow democrat (or just US citizen) living abroad, for 15 years now, I run into attitudes from some in the US like "why should you have a say or a vote, you don't live in the US!".
For those that understand that you are still knitted tightly to your country, and have even a right to vote on and make your voice heard even if you live outside, there is a real injustice here about representatives. We have none. When I want to protest allowing torture, the shredding of our constitution, unjust war, really anything, I have NO representative to reach out to. We expatriotes (noble sounding word, but has nothing to do with being a patriot) have no recourse and no voice except in election. But not state elections (unless it is to the rep from the last state you lived in....which sucks). Maybe in olden times there were less folks living abroad and communication was iffy and took a long time, but nowdays there ought to be a foreiegn represtentative, ONE for all of us living outside the US.
Of course, to get any representation, we would need to amend the constitution, and that would need representation to get it to happen....

Super Switch today as the former DNC Chair, appointed by BILL CLINTON, switches from Hillary to Obama. He's sending a letter to all the Supers to encourage them to do the same based on Hillary's campaign and it's tactics. Here's the link:
