1. Anyone that would subvert democracy to such an extent does not deserve to hold office, any office

3. "Mayor of Richmond predicting riots in the streets"..
From the linked article:

On Sunday, Doug Wilder, the mayor of Richmond and a former governor of Virginia, went even further, predicting riots in the streets if the Clinton campaign were to overturn an Obama lead through the use of superdelegates.

“There will be chaos at the convention,” Wilder told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”

“If you think 1968 was bad, you watch: In 2008, it will be worse.”

8. That's reason for the country to drop her like lead.
Call his election what ever you want, but don't call it democracy - if this takes place. WHY VOTE?? MY VOTE WILL COUNT WHEN THE DOORS ARE KICKED DOWN BY THE MOBS OF PROTWESTORS

10. This issue was covered
on Hardball this evening. Although one very high-ranking source from the Clinton campaign has responded by saying it will not happen, the journalist who had reported it is firm in saying that another high-ranking Clinton person had indeed told him this.

It's a tough campaign. Good luck to both sides tonight!
