C'mon Super Delegates. You know Hillary is the best "woman" for the job. Just think what Obama for President will be. He cannot go beyond making a written speech. He uses the same words over and over. I have not heard anything new from him since he started this campaign. Change, Change. More of the same. He cannot tell one single plan he has for the US. Helping the children and people of other countries! Our poor, our children, our disabled, all our people need help and all he talks about is overseas. Excuse me!!!!

Hillary can stand up to the best of them. She has the poise, grace and power that our country needs. Elect Hillary!!

He "deigns" to enter politics.

David,
Now that the superdelegates are lining up behind Barack Obama, I predict that you will hear outcries from Clinton supporters about how the whole notion of the superdelegates should be discarded, that this is undemocratic, that this thwarts the "will of the people." This, of course, from the same camp that until this morning argued that the superdelegates were vital to protect the interests of the party, that they had the collective wisdom to know who would be better equipped to defeat John McCain, and that for Obama and his supporters to pretend that the superdelegates were not charged with this responsibility would be disingenuous at best, outright cheating at worst.

I can begin to hear the clamor of fingers hitting keyboards now.

obama will be crushed by republicans , if , he gets nomination, and he deserves it

lmay8:43AMMay 9th 2008

I've raised my tally now to six more of my friends who will be voting for Mccain if Hillary is our nominee.

As I've stated so many times, I am a lifelong democrat loyal to this party, voted demo down the line over 25 years but Obama is someone I can't vote for..will never ever vote for.

Yes....I have read his books and I think anyone else who has read his books and took a close look at him would be afraid of this man.

He is unelectable. He has not united anyone, I have never seen such division before.

We need to stay united as Americans and vote Mccain just to keep him from being elected to the highest office in this country. The USA is a country I've loved all of my adult life and my vote will go to the person who will protect it!!!!

Keep going Hillary, we are proud of you...if not I am hoping you run as an independent!!! And after Mccain, we will see you in 2012 so that you can clean up the mess!!!

Mishell8:43AMMay 9th 2008

Well, I usually don't partake in blogging, but Rita, don't get fooled by the hype. Your candidate will say what ever she thunks will sway the crowd in front of her at the time. This woman , whom I once was behind, will portray herself as a blue collar worker to a victim of aerial attack in a war zone. She has not only failed to change her verbiage during the campaign, but has adopted and used her opponents slogan as her own. So let's allow the people of the party to choose their candidates as a majority. wipe the scales from your eyes and witness what has happened to our country over the last eight or so years!!

Cindy8:47AMMay 9th 2008

This is coming from a Caucasian no college education middle class voter. First of all the Clinton supporters that say they will vote for McCain are basing it on emotions right now, the sense of pride. I know I am a Clinton supporter. However I will vote for whoever the candidate is, and I'm telling you so will the others. People ultimately will vote for what is going to benefit them financially. They know that John McCain is supporting a lot of Bush's failed policies. Right now emotions are high, and there is the sense of pride, but they will come back to the party. I have already dealt with the fact that I know it will not be Hillary, as to most of Clinton's top aides know this as well. We might care about our candidates but ultimately they are politicians, we care mostly about our lives and our children. This current economy is hurting us.

lmay8:52AMMay 9th 2008

Hi Cindy...respectfully, I along with others will not vote for Obama. It's not emotion it's fact..those feelings won't change.

We will be forced to vote Mccain because a vote anywhere else is a vote for Obama.

I vote for the person who will protect our country in these scary times.....I never thought this would happen.

Nicole (TEXAS)8:54AMMay 9th 2008

Even now I will never vote Obama. Never.

Shane8:54AMMay 9th 2008

Silly Hillbots and your cute racism. If Obama was white you'd all be lined up to vote for him. That's the most baffling thing about this race...that RACE is such an issue. Then again you're just following your leader who is going to carry this country foward by playing a blatant race card - that Obama can't win the white vote.

Nicole (TEXAS)8:59AMMay 9th 2008

I will never voter for Obama. Never. You can call it "emotions" if you want to, but you don't speak for those of us that don't like, or trust Obama. I'll follow my instincts on this one. Hell no to Obama.

Go ahead and call me one of Hillary's uneducated voter's but you are dead wrong!!!!!

I didn't know that 91% of black N.C. voters were educated!!! Bull!!!

Cindy9:01AMMay 9th 2008

Sorry Imay I just don't believe you right now. I will await for November. I don't know what you're going to do if Hillary is running as VP with Obama. Then if you vote for McCain you are literally voting against Clinton. A most likely thing that will happen is that it will be an Obama/Clinton ticket. Sorry I along with a lot of my other friends who are strong Clinton supporters will vote Democratic. The Republican Party has hurt us in all ways, and we (me and my other friends who are Clinton supporters) will not vote for McCain. That is based on his policies. If I was a Republican maybe I would vote for him, but I am a Democrat.

So Imay you are entitled to your own opinion. I will just speak for myself, and for my other friends who are Clinton supporters that say they will not vote for McCain.

wunofakind9:03AMMay 9th 2008

Dear Rita, did you not see the interview Wolf B did with Obama last night? Much of his comments were about clearing the path of the Bush destruction so that he could focus on the perils right here in our country. You might try to put your prejudice aside and really listen to what he's saying.

I happen to be a registered Republican who's going to vote Democrat this year!

treble059:10AMMay 9th 2008

It's fair to say that negros will never vote for HRC if she was the nominee and not saying the contrary if Obama was the nominee? the double standard about race in this country is just insane. BHO, will never win without the white vote. that's the reality.

Ernie9:11AMMay 9th 2008

Obama doesn't have a clue what he's geting into, just like Bush...he wants to change things like Bush but change to what? He gives no details and I won't fall for that approach again. I'm sure he's going to rely on the Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Richardson coalition to provide that for him. It looks like Hillary may not make it as a democrate but I wouldn't be opposed to supporting her as an independent. The fact that the media has annointed Obama really irks me, it's not about race, it's about substance!

Nicole (TEXAS)9:13AMMay 9th 2008

I will never vote Obama. Call it emotions, racism or ignorance if that works for you, but you are dead wrong. I think, I am educated, and I am not racist.

If Obama keeps dividing America I might become extremely prejudiced. RACISM ISN"T DEFINED BY A SPECIFIC COLOR. Obama is a passive trouble maker.

I didn't know that 91% OF BLACK N.C. voters were educated? Bull.

I won't bite the bullet on this one. My instinct tells me he is dangerous. No obama. Never.

lmay9:13AMMay 9th 2008

Respectfully noted.....fortunately we will never find out because he won't win the general...

I still haven't counted out Hillary...not yet

Nicole (TEXAS)9:18AMMay 9th 2008

The media is already saying Obama won. He has 1 more superdelegate than Hillary and you would think he was "God" now.

I am so sick of having this freak "forced" on voters. I guess I'm not a democrat anymore.

No Obama. Never. Hell no.

Joe9:19AMMay 9th 2008

Sad to see that there are plenty of semiliterate, gullible bigots in AOL land who would rather vote for an inveterate liar who will do and say anything for a vote than for a brilliant man eith great vision who happens to be half black.
