Regardless of whether the politicians beleive the votes should or should not be counted, what about the voters in Florida and Michigan, are you suggesting there votes are no good, they should not have a say? Do you think the voters in Florida and Michigan opted to have there primaries moved up? I don't think so, so they should not be left voiceless, there votes should count. The voters in Florida and Michigan should talk to their state legislators who moved up the primaries after they were directed not to. There has to be some ordr to the process.

I believe For me, the individual candidates always take precedence over the political parties. I selected one Republican and three Democrats to review further and then narrowed my choice to Clinton. I am voting for Clinton NOT because she is a Democrat, a woman, an Anglo-American, a lawyer, and/or married with Bill Clinton. Rather, I am voting for Clinton because: (1) I believe in her as a person; (2) I believe in her platform (see http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ ); (3) I believe in her wealth of broad and long-term life and political experience; (4) I believe that she is the BEST candidate to be President of our USA; and (5) I believe that she is the BEST candidate to go up against McCain and WIN! While I am willing to consider Obama for future presidential elections, Obama needs much more experience and clearly is NOT ready to be President (see A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can't Win by Shelby Steele). Also, I am concerned about where Obama really stands as regards racism. At 50 years of age, I have spent my whole life fighting discrimination, and I want to support a candidate who has a long-term positive record against discrimination - in this regard, I feel strongly confident with Clinton. If you decide to support Clinton, take action now to make a positive difference: (1) Support Seating the Florida and Michigan Delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August 2008 Go to http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/flmi/ and send an e-mail. (2) Make Phone Calls in Support of Clinton For the Upcoming Primaries: Indiana, North Carolina - May 6; West Virginia - May 13; Kentucky, Oregon- May 20; Puerto Rico - June 1; Montana, South Dakota - June 3. Go to http://tools.hillaryclinton.com/calling/ and start telephoning! (3) IF your budget permits, make a financial contribution to Clinton's campaign – no contribution, even $ 1, is too small! Go to https://contribute.hillaryclinton.com/form.ht... to contribute. (4) Recognize that the debate about whether unpledged delegates (superdelegates) should exercise independent judgment OR support the candidate that does best in the primaries/caucuses, whether Democrat superdelegates should make their decisions as soon as possible, and whether Hillary Rodham Clinton should quit the race as soon as possible (regardless of the fact that there are 8 more primaries/caucuses left and the DNC meets only in late August)is based upon lack of research, knowledge, and understanding. According to the DNP's "Delegation Selection Rules for the 2008 DNC" at Rule 12J, "Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them." In essence, only PLEDGED delegates (and NOT UNPLEDGED delegates) have the obligation to follow the primary/caucus vote. In addition, the term "UNPLEDGED" means "unpromised, unengaged, unattached, uncommitted", which is consistent with independent judgment. For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate . Finally, one primary feature of a democracy is competitive elections, and it is with this important democratic tradition in mind that Clinton rightfully continues on. For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy . In closing, I will be glad if your intellect and heart lead you to support Clinton for President. Please feel free to circulate my letter to others and to post it at other forums. Respectfully, A Concerned American Who Values Democracy I've got a brigde to Hawaii for sale. Give me 10,000 Rubles. Now, conduct an unbiased research.

i just read the platforms of both candidates...i dont expect anyone to change their mind by reading the two different democratic ideas obama and hillary have...but it reinforces my belief that chillary addresses issues that obama cannot grasp...for this reason i find her a more electable candidate that is not solely based on race...if anyone cares to read the differences i have included them.. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ now that i have written something of substance we can now get back to the bashing...

Keep in mind also that Senator Clinton carries the support of most of the densely populated and diverse areas in our country. Gaining support from children between 18 and 21 who don't live in the real world and being supported by a single race group do not make a viable candidate. Stop hatin' and being fearful of a black man having power over you. And yes, you are correct. There is one race of people that is supporting him and they're called THE HUMAN RACE! I guess you didn't see all of those thousands of white people at his campaign rallies. So stop being fearful of a black man in power. I can assure you, he'll do the opposite of what's been being done all these years. He'll be fair and level the playing field and give everybody a real chance at the American Dream - including white people, but not just white people. He's for everybody. Does that scare you?

Randal wrote: This election season has exposed the broad black racism in America that many knew was there all along. With 90+% of blacks voting for the Black Candidate it is clear that it has not been whites who have been playing racial political games with this election. If whites were to blindly vote race in such a racially partisan way it would rightly be called “racism”.
What ever happened to all that talk of judging someone by their character and not the color of their skin? I guess that’s just for whites since blacks clearly have not gotten the message that such racism is wrong.
“Change”?? It sure seems like just more of the same old Racial Double Standard to me.
This dumbed-down dirtying is what we get in America politics with all that “rich diversity” of getting everyone involved. This election has brought to the surface the racism that is still very much alive and well in this country. People who have not been through what blacks have been through in this country should not even voice an opinion if you don't know what you are talking about. You have no idea what blacks have had to suffer and endure. Now that the tables have turned, you want to talk about judging people -- not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Why hasn't anyone done that in this country for hundreds of years? Blacks have voted for white people for years! But that's OK. Whites have supported their own for years! But that's OK. As soon as blacks want to support one of their own, there's a problem. If we are racist, in your opinion, I want you to know that we've learned from the best - white people. But that's your opinion. We are not blindly voting for Sen. Obama. When Al Sharpton ran for President, I did not vote for him as did many other blacks. We are voting for Sen. Obama because he is a strong candidate, with values and morals. He has intelligence, charisma, he's a family man, who came from humble beginnings and worked hard to get to the point where he is right now. All of the odds were stacked against him, but still he made it. He is a prime example of the "American Dream". And most of all, he has a plan for America, to clean up the mess that George Bush has made. He is a formidable opponent and racist white people are running scared. What a shame. If you could only open your closed mind, and really see what we have in Sen. Obama, but I know you won't do that. It doesn't matter what anyone says, you are going to believe what you WANT to believe.

Despite his oft-repeated promises to "bring America together", by his own words and actions and revealing personal associations -- and that of his prospective First Lady -- for all of his undeniable charismatic appeal, Barack Hussein Obama is simply a racist. His vision of America is racist, and his solutions to our problems are racist. His appeal is to those backward-looking, self-destructive forces of negativity and defeatism inherent in all cultures at all times. His song is not a new one, it's that same same old seductive siren song of victimization which has lured countless gullible societies to their doom -- To vote for Barrack Hussein Obama and his dark vision of America is to vote for defeatism and negativity. It is willfully turning your back on the hope and promise of this wondrous meritocracy we call America. It is buying into the outrageous lie that America itself is the problem, and that only by changing the whole concept of Americanism can we hope to cure the evils of this world. No to Hussein Obama...
