now working hard in his campaign not being enthusiastic for her in the GE if she gets the nomination through a "nuclear option". Yes, most would vote for her over McCain, but I seriously doubt they would put effort working on the "ground forces". Obama has a great campaign organization and it would not surprise me if it would just fold up and go home. You couldn't blame them if she got the nomination with the "nuclear option". Maybe she doesn't care, but it does not make sense to me. There are a lot of Democrats in there and the 1,500,000 people who made the small contributions may not open their checkbooks as willingly. Winning with delegates, popular vote, states, etc. may be a different situation.

3. She has mocked and insulted (as has Bill) anyone who supports Obama.
We get it. The message has been received.

8. Just the other day Bill told a bunch of people in a small town that "we" (meaning
Obama supporters) think we are better then them.

It is truly despicable what they are doing to try to turn different demographics within the Democratic Party against each other.

10. Let's FLIP that post of yours, and you take a good look at it--it's how you sound.

Why don't you just let the people VOTE, and we'll see how it goes? There are fifty states in our union, after all.

11. n/s
I haven't been an Obama Supporter - but of the two, he's the one I prefer. I have to say *just being honest here* . . .

I'm a female.

But I'm also bi-racial.

He appears black, but he is bi-racial in his conduct and the words he speaks.

On that level, I relate to him better. It's an understanding about what that 'bitter' comment really meant. I maintain he told blacks, "You aren't the only ones suffering, and angry and feeling completely left out, and left behind. There are an awful lot of people of European descent are experiencing the exact same things you are. Can you blame them?"

That's when he got me. Since Edwards dropped out, she hasn't said anything to convince me she 'Gets' why middle aged blue collar caucasian men voted for Bush against their best interests in 2004. I think there are not only a lot of 'blacks', but also a lot of 'white folks' that would feel like they are voting against their own best interests regardless its' McCain or Clinton.

I know my vote will sort of be dictated by whether or not Paul stays in the race. I think he could splinter the Republicans. Could be an interesting race.

Ahhh well, I live in NJ. This state will send a Democratic to the White House. So I can go into the booth and write in "The Whiskey Man That Lives In My Tree" :-) and it won't matter.

12. Her entire campaign
Is what is good now we'll worry about tommorow when it comes.

Same kind of thinking that got us the mess we are in. Part of Bush's reason for going into Iraq was to get re-elected.
