Re: I'm brainwashed?
Thank you, Mon, for your statement. At 50 years, I'm not some groupie of Obama, I'm an accomplished professional, highly educated, and a life student of political issues. I said "Oh no" when Bill was nominated and when NAFTA first came up. Bushes and Clintons--there is no difference when it comes to personal liberties and participatory democracy.
Obama is the first I've ever contributed to and this will be the first time I haven't voted third party---ever!
Clinton supporters are, sorry, ignorant. They haven't studied either candidate or they'd know better than to write such ignorant things.
Read the blogs at both candidates sights--the level of writing and discourse is comparatively 4th grade level for Clinton to 11th grade or higher at Obama's site.
Words matter.
Intelligence matters.
Research matters.
I'm brainwashed?
Response to Mon of TX:
Enough of the fearmongering. You are offending me to my very core. I am a father, husband, college graduate, I work in the Health Insurance Industry, and I wholeheartedly support Obama. I am not some sort of Brainwashed KoolAid drinking schmuck. I'm sick of people such as yourself labeling Obama-supporters this way.
I was first drawn to Obama because I liked one of his foreign policy advisors Sandra Power. I had studied her work and actually went to see her speak one day. I assumed her speech was going to be on her Pulitzer Prize winning book and was surprised to learn that her speech was all about why she supported Obama.
Remember, no matter what you think of Obama supporters, we are not some homogenous group of teenage neophytes. We are diverse and intelligent. And we want a change.
President Obama! Get used to it.
Over
Time for the fat lady to start singing. ITS OVER.
Knock out
It is impossible to knock out the Clintons, even when their machine has not been able to win over a resurgent citizenry that wants to take our country back from the long Bush-Clinton-Bush years of divide-and-rule. The Clintons are famously feared for their ferocity, tenacity, and ruthless brand of politics. But this "I am a fighter! I am a fighter!" mentality is what has brought the US down so low. We have no lack of fighters, including McCain who wants us to fight in Iraq for 100 years. We tell our children that fighting is not a good thing because violence leads to violence in a destructive never-ending cycle. We need to imagine and process a different way to move ahead, as patriots of our beloved republic and of our beloved planet. The Obama people are brilliant, energetic, fresh, and have the best vision for a more perfect union, here in the US. They will help us gain our footing on the world stage and lead us out of the quagmire of war and more war.
hillary
go hillary you have a great chance to win all women should be proud of you I know I am, more power to you senator God is with you all the way. Remember jesus was born from a woman
Go Barack !
Barack Obama for President of the UNITED States of America.
If Obama wins Texas or Ohio, HRC should do what’s best for the Democratic Party…Step aside.
If she is unwilling to take the high road, then the superdelegates should step in and endorse the obvious winner.
I’m sure Karl Rove and the Republicans would love to see this continue…nothing like having an ally in the Democratic Party… Hillary and McCain could continue to double team Obama.
Give me a break!
Why do Obama supporters constantly forget that there are times 50 percent of people who prefer her over him. I am so tired of the manipulative and difficult to be seen tricks of the Obama campaign. It is the most Machiavellian, and I hope not to see the same tricks against McCain. Obama was voted the most liberal senator and yet uses ambigious centrist philosphies so that people can interpret different meanings to joining ship. McCain is my natural pick after the likely loss of the honorable Mrs. Clinton.
go Hillary.
This is silly about Obama being in a lead so strong that Hillary should drop out or lose the support of super delegates.
Let's see what the pledged delegate count is after Tuesday. Let's assume Hillary loses both races -- highly unlikely -- she'd still have just under 50% the vote of voters and pledged delegates. That's hardly decisive and, in my opinion, should convince super delegates that she, and not only Obama, is a strong, viable candidate.
Plus, as for independents, those who are left leaning will vote for Obama or Hillary come November. They're not going to McCain. Those who are centrists or leaning right, they'll never vote for Obama but would definitely consider Hillary.
Advantage: Hillary.
