He would not have become unglued about MI and FL because he agreed to their stance before the primaries started.
Oh, I couldn't disagree more. He would be throwing a hissy fit just like Hill&Bill.

Can you see? Jesse and Al and Obama leading the march down main street wailing and whining that the "white" establishment is trying to steal the election from the first black candidate. I can.

There'd be calls to COUNT EVERY VOTE!! We were cheated in 2000 - NOT AGAIN!!

I would say the same thing I've been saying about Hillary: She should stay in until the primaries are done - then call it quits.

PS - I too think that Huckabee is a gentleman.

I think Obama would be urged to continue his campaign because it is an historic one. I'm afraid though, he just doesn't have Hillary's backbone and tenacity. He would have dropped out because he's a spineless wimp.

Why do Sharpton and Jackson keep coming up. Can you show any pictures or news reports of them being together with Obama? Saturday Night Live did a routine about their non involvement in his campaign.

Sheesh. Not everything is about race.

I agree with the overwhelming sentiment of this thread. He would have bowed out with dignity and supported Hillary wholeheartedly by now. I can't see him harming this country's prospects of moving forward by following blind ambition like Hillary is.

I support Hillary Clinton

Well I would expect he would be allowed to finish his campaign through all states. If he was leading in the popular vote as well and winning many key states they may even take his point in staying into consideration.

Woot Hillary

I'd be willing to bet, if he were elected President, he would have fewer blacks on staff than most Presidents' do.

It's kind of funny how that works out, isn't it?

(Remember Bill Clinton's secretary? She was black.)

Hillary has a Black campaign manager and Obama a White. I can't think of who he would have in his cabinet who is Black.
