Please treat Hillary as a person. not an object to be ridiculed. As a lifetime democrat I want experience not appeal of a rock star so I will commit to Mccain if Obama wins. I want substance not speechs with nothing but personatilty enstead of empty talk.

to vote in Florida and Michigan again under rules which are accepted by the Democrats rule commitee.

To count the current votes is unacceptable and to ignore Florida and Michigan, respectively to count it 50:50 is unacceptable, too

Rules are the rules even for them....I would say so. If Hillary is the true leader she professes to be then she had better get to pulling her supporters out of the rage they have and into the real world. What should we love more....Hillary, Obama or our country? We have to think about what is real. Caring for and believing in a candidate should not supercede our responsibility to show up as adults in this political process, for the sake of our country, our children and grandchildren and most importantly our legacy as a country of fighters for law and order. The rules are the rules....
