Not unless the dem get somebody who isn't the most liberal senator to run. How about we let Obama finish one term of something before talking about how great he is going to be...he's a true politician, no matter how you try to spin it. Florida and Michigan don't count...unless he needed them. My guess is that he knew he was going to lose Michigan, so he pulled his name off the ballot. He probably thought Florida would be closer, which could explain why he kept his name on that state. I hope the Democrats lose both FL and MI for this fiasco. The new party slogan:
"Every vote counts, as long as it's for me."

Our country is headed down the toilet if either of these two jokers get in but we'll have a good laugh over it on the way. This is funnier than any sitcom on television.

I'm a Hillary supporter ... but it looks as if Obama will win the dem nom. I will vote for McCain in a heartbeat. Obama can talk a nice talk ... but he's a wolf in sheep's clothing in my opinion. Something about him is frankly scary.

Some said earlier that people who support Hillary on the primaries are actually those who are going to vote for McCain in November. Now it is getting clear, you were just supporting Hillary knowing that it would be easy for your McCain to beat her in November.

It's amazing that many liberals and especially the media cry 'equal chances for everyone', then report that Clinton got 6 of 10 white votes and Obama 9 of 10 black votes. It certainly appears that it will be an issue whether we like it or not. The media will point it out, and (at least by appearances) the black vote will blindly follow Obama.

No ... I support Hillary because I can't stand Obama. I'm also a Clinton supporter as the economy blows and the Bill years were decent economy wise.

I'd vote for Paris freaking Hilton over Obama. Anyone but that man.

Clinton needs to drop out. The only possible way for her to win this thing is to steal it with superdelegates, and the only reasonable case she could make is if she wins the popular vote WITHOUT counting FL and MI. Otherwise, she won't have a leg to stand on. Obama will go into convention needing less than 100 delegates to clinch the nomination. FL and MI really shouldn't count, to be honest. Neither was a seriously contested election - the only reason Clinton wants them to count NOW, after not wanting it before, is because she won both "elections".

I'm tired of this whole process. Will people wise up already and just pick one or the other? At the very least, this needs to spark a closer look at how the nominee is chosen. I don't agree with open-party primaries or with superdelegates. I don't even like giving the delegates out proportionally (mainly because that's not how electoral votes are won in November).It's a farce, what with different primary rules in different states and all.

The Democratic Party claims to be the party of the people, but if they go against the popular vote, there's a big problem. That party has a GOLDEN opportunity to win big in November, and as always, they're slowly but surely screwing themselves over.

Read your Bible. The AntiChrist will be a uniter. Someone who raises up out of nowhere (anyone really here of Obama 2 years ago?) and brings the message of peace. I'm not drinking the Kool Aid.

I thought the Dems were foolish to put her up as a candidate. If she is the nominee, I think we'll see quite a few middle-of-the-road Dems voting for McCain because of the ABC factor (Anyone But Clinton.) I will admit I'm not too crazy about Obama either, but I'd vote for the reanimated corpse of Ronald Reagan before I'd vote for Hilary.

To all of the so-called Democrats who would rather vote for McCain in November should their candidate not win the nomination: You are an utter embarassment to the party and are the very reason why there is such a schism among us.

Your egotism and megalomania belong with the Republicans. So, please don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you and don't even think about complaining when we get four to eight more years of Bush's policies and wars because you effectively lose that right once you cast your ballot for McCain.

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is:

The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.
Show me some credentials...I'll vote McCain before Obama
