It’s time for all democrats to ban together and support the democratic nominee for the fall. This is business, not personal!

United we stand, divided we fall. And that’s just what the republicans want us to do.

Dear Nana,

in reference to an above statement to me. I do not dissagree with Hillary Clinton at this point. She tends to be far more experienced than Obama. On which the other hand she is of course, not exactly the strong built face of America either. But the issue at hand is not WHICH CANTIDATE is right, it’s the entire two party system that has become fickle and incapable of making any real choices. That in ITSELF is destroying constitutional right. Believe, me, could I be able to make politics a personal issue at age 12, I would have.

and even then, I was a supporter of Al Gore in the 8th grade.

I care not for the greater than though aspect of an older more right wing approach to together democracy…Please spare me the person insult, and concentrate on what actually matters, which is the future and betterment in the US as a democracy, not a Republic, as George Bush has let it become.

I am so disgusted by Edward’s endorsement of Obama. The entire previous week he told many cable and major networks that it was important for him to not endorse anyone and stay out of the process. What a liar! Hillary has gotten the shaft since this primary run started. I am a very educated 49 year old democrat. I, too, will either vote for McCain or stay home. I will not vote for a man who does not seem to love this country. And worse yet, I wouldn’t be able to watch his America-hating wife stand beside him.

“HILLARY IS LIKE KOBE BRYANT OF LAKERS.”

Yep, I see the parallels. It’s a pretty even divide of people that like Kobe as can’t stand him. Same with Hillary. She’s a polarizer. You either love her or hate her.

Does the country really need another four years of polarization, this time even beyond the normal partisan politics that we’ve been stuck with since the first Clinton administration?

I appreciate Edwards attempt (conscious or not) to acknowledge that both sides of this race are working hard. That’s the kind of peacemaking that’s going to be required to get the Democratic party moving again after the primaries. If the Clintonites can’t reconcile when this thing is done, the party is pretty well screwed. It sure seems like polarization is the only comfortable spot for HRC. If her supporters take that same position, kiss this election goodbye. If they don’t get over themselves and vote for Obama when it counts, McCain will have an easy road to the Oval Office.

Politics as usual — the endorsement was engineered to crush Clinton’s news coverage. Is this Obama’s high road to the White House? How noble. Obama is not content to defeat her, he seeks to humiliate her. They can mouth all the niceties they want in the effort to woo us back into the fold, their actions speak louder than words.

Big shock! The one young, handsome man endorses the other younger, handsome man to beat the older, more experienced woman symbolizing our first real chance for a woman president. Welcome to “Sexism 101″ everyone!!! Perhaps they’d rather have Hillary be the White House chef “baking their cookies” than serve our country as president. But oh wait…the press doesn’t care that she won WV….they’re too busy reporting on the endorsement of the guy who lost twice now. Great precendent with our press, huh? Let’s let our American press decide who your nominee is by highlighting this story and burying the other? Like giving them this kind of unchecked power won’t come back to haunt all of us someday…at some point….when we don’t like their NEXT choice FOR us!

Please, give me a break if Mr. Edwards had endorsed Hillary you would have nothing but praise for him. But since he endorsed Obama you can’t stand it. What are you going to say should Elizabeth endorse Obama as well are you going to turn on her too? Get over it! OBAMA OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

Did Obama ever explained to people why his Gas Tax failed in Illinois? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Did Obama ever detailed in clarity the economic issues we’re facing and how he will address those issues? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Not that I know of and I’ve been keeping track of the election since January. The green job proposal came from one of Hillary’s Bright Ideas and Blue Print. God Help us if he becomes the nominee and much worse the president.

HILLARY IS LIKE KOBE BRYANT OF LAKERS IN 2002/2003. YOU THOUGHT THEIR OPPONENT IS A SURE WIN DOWN TO THE LAST MINUTE…BUT WAIT KOBE DID A 3-POINT SHOOT SUCCESFULLY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND. LAKERS WON AND HILLARY WILL WIN EVENTUALLY.

Hang in there Hillary. A lot of people are still behind you. Those who voted for Obama back in Feb. are feeling buyes remorse in light of the serious issues that he has had since March. I saw her interview last night on CNN. She clearly detailed the issues on economy and her gas tax proposal.

OBAMA WAS WRONG ON GAS TAX. HE IS STUPID ON APPLIED ECONOMICS.

I’m am once again disappointed in this democraic primary. John edwards should have stayed out of it until it’s over. Someone had better start including the average American woman in their speeches other than Hillary. Obama will really have to rock my world before Nov. in order to get my vote! As of today if Obama is the candidate, I’m just not voting for the first time in my life!!!!!!!!
