Hillary won't be remembered for anything by the AA community, even if we all vote for Barack. That is also a very stupid reason to cast your vote for Obama. We are choosing the Commander in Chief not head of the AA community, and why should we care about how the AA community would feel about our decisions to cast our vote for McCain, they have shown that voting on race is okay.
First of all Obama is a formidable candidate and is fit to be commander in chief and its not about his skin color. However you cant ignore the historical nature of this presidency. Your remark was in a sense racist because you seem to indicate that this is about Obama being the head of the African-American community and not president for ALL people. What if a black person said McCain is trying to be the head of the white community?
They also forget that when supreme court justices are picked, they are there for life so any decision the supreme court makes, thats going to be the decision for a lifetime. McCain has already said he would appoint people that dont support Roe vs Wade. By reversing Roe vs Wade, once again womens rights will have been taken away.
FEAR MONGERING ALERT!!!!! FEAR MONGERING ALERT!!!! Not going to happen -- Democratic Congress will not let it happen. Also McCain is a Moderate!!!
What difference does it make? The president is NOT elected through the popular vote..in this day with computers and technology the popular vote should be how one is elected not that electorate college BS

I agree and only pay attention to state polling when it gets closer to November. Additionally, the dems need to get rid of caucuses, super delegates and Iowa and New Hampshire should not be first to vote. We would never have had this problem if they had not been so obstinate.

WHOA!! The electoral college was devised for a very good reason. Without it people in the middle of the country would never see a candidate and their voice would never be heard. The candidates would spend all their time in a few states and to hell with the rest of the country. I know that a lot of Obama supporters already feel this way about "fly over country" as has been expressed about WV, KY, and many other regions.
The DNC Disrepects the personal votes of others why should anyone show respect to the DNC.
Because the issues that are on the table are far more important then whether you think the DNC robbed you of something. All of Hillary's hard work and dreams you will take away by voting for McSame. Healthcare, No Child Left Behind, Education, Social Security to name a few. You people have to see what this would do to Hillary. Vote for McSame out of spite and you are actually voting against your candidate Hillary Clinton. I know it disappointing that she did not receive the Nominee but you people out their should take a lesson from Hillary. Listen to her speech on Saturday. I hope Barack will give her a cabinet position that she will be able to put in place some of her ideas. That to me would be a better job for her then the VP spot.

understand it was Hillary supporters that agreed to what happened in Michigan and we all know it was a flawed contest which was "illegal" and Obama's name wasnt on the ballot. Also remember Hillary also agreed early on that Florida and Michigans votes should not count so this is not just about the DNC. Blame the republicans for putting the democrats in this situation in the first place (at least with Florida)
LOL. The Democrats claimed they couldn't vote against moving the primary date. Whatever. They let it happen. They violated the rules, they got punished and they cried. The DNC has no balls.
The bottom line is Iowa and New Hamshire would have moved their primary/caucus to December to be first in line. Howard Dean and DNC need to start working on this problem immediately after this election.
OT - A positive note about every state having a say during the primary - it was good for all the state economies.
