I am registering as an independent.
Obama will not get my vote here in Georgia.
The DNC does not think a "few bitter women" will have much of am impact
on the general election, well, we will see about that.
The DNC and Obama expect women to "hop in line" because they "say so"
well , they are in for a very rude awakeing.
I read somewhere here the other day that dared to compare not voting for Obama was like an "abused woman"
I take issue with that
I am a
survivor of domestic violence and " jumping in line because I am told to do so" is what I came out of!!
I am a grown woman and have voted Dem all my life, this pary is screwed
up and I am leaving it.
And it feels wonderful!

I think the Democrats are counting on folks with your sentiment ultimately voting with them due to the "scary" alternative of McCain winning the election.

Congratulations on finding a campaign that feels more comfortable for you. Who are you supporting?

Good luck voting for McCain, but forget any future chances of Hillary winning the dem nomination.

What would you prefer? Obama begging for women's support? Get over Hillary's loss. You act like the DNC shouldn't expect you to fall in line...but Hillary and Obama are nearly identical on the issues.

No threats here. I will say that I hope you consider your vote long and hard before casting it. If you don't support Obama, that's cool. I just hope that you don't consider a vote for McCain nothing more than a vote against Obama.

As for Clinton getting nominated in the future, the truth is that it's simply unlikely. Lately, folks haven't been too keen on a recycled nominee. Edwards was a much better candidate in 08 than in 04, and look how much traction he got.

The truth is that a vote for McCain isn't a vote for Clinton in 2012.

Either way, just realize that in terms of policy, Obama is MUCH closer to Clinton than McCain is.

By crawling to a member of the party that has beat women's rights down for decades. Way to perpetuate the cycle.

I do not expect her to run again, why should she??
this is about me finally being fed up enough to do something about how I feel
I am sick of the DNC and this has been brewing for a long time
I hoped whe we got the house we would see some real changes
did we??
NO
same crap, different party

Congress shold have done something like they promised they would,
how many days off have they taken? They promised to work when they got there, It is going to take getting their attention to make some changes, otherwise it is the same thing.
oh well, I really don't care what anyone here thinks about my feelings of frustration at the DNC
