Hillory is about Hillory, just like Bill.The best way her supporters can destroy her chance for a future nomination is to disrupt the convention.The black vote will never come back to her if they feel she sabotaged Obama's campaign.Blacks make up 25% of the Democratic party so she better play her cards right.

Schaller is delusional if he believes that the Dems will unite in Denver. The racial divide in the party is too great; it's a chasm, not a crack in the sidewalk. A vast majority of Clinton supporters will NEVER vote for Obama, in fact there's a good argument that their votes for Clinton were simply votes against Obama. See Pennsyltucky voting trends for further info.

The Dems will self destruct in Denver, it's their history, their destiny, and their birthright..........;->

Mr. Schaller is correct. Mr. Obama should not be obligated to help this woman, repay her debts. She, her "bitter" husband and her "bitter" supporters should lay aside their selfish desires and help the Democratic party regain control of this country. If McCain wins, she and her supporters can blame themselves. And the women backing her should not complain when McCain and his administration takes control of their uteri.

The Clintonistas need to go to a therapeutic retreat that deals with death and closure. Her presidential aspirations are dead - for at least the next four years. Life will go on within her and without her. I am reminded of the old SNL characters "The Whiners". Now that Edwards has admitted he had an extra-marital affair in 2006, the Clintonistas are trying to use it as an opportunity to re-write reality - and conjrcture that the vast majority of early Edwards backers wouldashouldacoulda been solidly for Hillary - even though polling at the time indicated that Obama would have been their 2nd choice by an almost 2/1 margin. It's time for the Kool-Aid-drinking Clintonistas to just get over it, do their part to engender unity instead of divissiveness and SHUT THEIR COMPULSIVE PIE-HOLES.

NO. Clinton supporters should not just shut up and go away.
The HUGE puma/ Just say no deal coalition wants to bring democracy back to the Democratic party. The primary was a farce, with unconscionable bias and sexism not only from the media but from the Democratic establishment as well. It is not the American way to pretend all is well when it is not. There is not party unity, and BO according to the polls, is not headed for a landslide win. Who wants an unqualified, under experienced President in these times of uncertainty? Fight on Clinton backers, and lets call for the most qualified candidate with a legitimate and thick resume to lead this country.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday once again shows Barack Obama attracting 45% of the vote while John McCain earns 43%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 48% and McCain 46%(see recent daily results). Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day.
Obama is supported by 77% of Democrats while McCain earns the vote from 85% of Republicans. The two candidates are essentially even among unaffiliated voters.

Obama would have won Iowa even if Edwards wasn't on the ticket. Before the Iowa state convention they have county and district conventions. At each convention delegates are given a chance to realign with a candidate. Edwards dropped out before the county convention. His delegates chose to realign instead of staying together. At least 3/4 of them crossed over to Obama. This happened once again at districts. So this BS from Wolfson is crazy. If the media would think about it, it would be obvious that the Edwards delegates were free to choose Clinton, but chose not to. Let the truth be known!

This is just more "sit down and shut up" from the DNC. Party disunity was CAUSED by the party and its manipulations of the election system. Forcing the wishes of a few on the majority is NOT the way America was designed to operate. The DNC has become a threat to that system set up by our forefathers, so the majority has an obligation to RISE UP and protect our democracy. IF the DNC wanted unity, they could have had it. THEY CHOSE THIS BED OF DISUNITY FOR THEMSELVES...NOW THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN ABUT THE WRINKLES IN THE SHEETS. TOO BAD!

My people and I will put a stop to this as soon as Obama admits I won and quits (as he could not lead a group of lemmings) so I can take MY RIGHTFUL place as President.

The DNC can kiss my lily-white butt. Had they vetted Backtrack Barack instead of letting internet bloggers do their job, they wouldn't be in this position. After 30 years of voting for democrats, I changed party affiliation on June 2, 2008. Good luck trying to get 18 million Hillary supporters to "unify the party".

Can I start laughing now?

Party disunity? I thought you were talkin about disunity caused by Obama, not only in the party, but also in the whole country. Yes, it is time to claim unity in the party, but above all, to claim for justice. Still wondering how Obama ended up being the selected candidate when even a high school kid knows he is not electable. what's behind this? who knows, but the party has made the worst mistake ever by trying to eliminate Hillary from the very beginning. Maybe it's Pelosi who is jealous of another woman having such an important role, or the machos at the DNC afraid that a woman can lead the country, or the combination of both and the lack of political vision by the DNC leaders, after all, most of them are ex-losers to the presidency. So when are we going to fix this? Let's put Hillary where she belongs! As president !!!!

A PRAYER TO THE 527s

Barack Obama has been busy, of late, changing position after position, in an effort to fashion a new image before the American people. And, true to form, he has the “Audacity to Hope” that the American public is too uninformed to recognize what has become increasingly obvious; that his only core conviction, is to gain access to the power of the Presidency. And, it has become increasingly evident throughout his campaign, that he will do anything, say anything, change any position, and jettison any friend or supporter, in order to gain that power.

The Fraudulent One is secure in the knowledge that his lemmings will blindly and obediently support his every move. They will gallantly argue for any position he holds, and when he changes that position, they will argue, just as vociferously, for that new position. Bud sadly, for the Fraudulent One, he knows that his lemmings are not enough in number to secure his election, and deliver to him the power he so ravenously craves. So, the Fraudulent One knows he must now con the great sea of “undecideds” into believing that he is a centrist; that he is “one of them”-- hence his recent “move to the center,” which is actually more of a temporary and politically expedient “detour,” than a real change of character or positions. Fortunately for the Fraudulent One, in this great battle for the hearts and minds of the American public, he has a powerful ally; the mainstream media. Yes, the same media that decided long ago that the Fraudulent One would be our President, is doing everything in their power to assist him in his unholy quest.

So Verily, I say unto you, oh 527s, that you take unto yourselves that most Holy task of doing for the American public what that mainstream media will not do – VET BARACK OBAMA. For the good of our country and for the sake of our families, expose the Truth about the Fraudulent One – that truth which he so desperately needs to hide from the American public in order to gain power. Expose his lack of experience; expose his political naivete; expose his lies; expose his duplicity; expose his arrogance; expose his treachery; expose his radical beliefs; expose his radical associations; expose his adherence to a dangerous and racist theology -- expose the Fraudulent One for the man that he is, so that the American people can make an educated choice in one of the most grave and consequential elections in American history. Yes, 527s, I implore you to take unto yourselves this most Holy task; to help us preserve and enhance our way of life, and to assist in delivering us from this evil.

AMEN

To any who doubt that an Obama election would be disastrous for America, please read Obama Nation by Corsi. It is not a right-wing screed, nor is it hateful. The facts are clearly stated in what has been a charmed and duplicitous life.

After the Edward's debacle, expect the MSN to try to redeem themselves by actually doing some investigative reporting.

Although your instincts tell you to throw a tantrum to get your point across, you must ask yourself what this will achieve, and whether it will actually be self-defeating.
