IDIOTS.  

I think they should start right now -- with Donna Brazile leading the charge!

The Clinton wing probably will get angry anyway whether Clinton loses now or later.

I am angry at the leadership for trying to force Obama down our throats and discounting FL and MI for no reason. All they had to do was say that half their delegates would not be seated at the convention. Done!

I would not be so asinine as to be angry if my candidate legitimately loses the nomination because of the will of the voters. However, I don't see that happening. I do see that the Party appears bound and determined to give him the nomination whether he earns it or not.

That does not make me part of a "Clinton wing." That makes me a person who believes in democracy.

they see him as easily beatable

Are they incapable of just being quiet?

Oooh, Harry Reid and Howard Dean are gonna write a letter? I'm sure it'll be strongly worded and strike fear into the heart of every SD.  

This strikes me as more passing of the buck.  I'm pretty sure I know what side Pelosi, Dean, et al. are gunning for, but I'd respect them more if they just came out and said it.

Am totally disgusted with the Dem party.

I read today -- and don't know if it's true -- that the state senate meets about 55 days a year.  That means Obama's total legislative career lasted about 440 days or a little more than a year.  Now maybe he was doing district things -- but I doubt it; you just need to look at the districts he represented and some of the buildings there to see he didn't do much for them.  He certainly took Rezko's money, and helped steer public business Rezko's way, despite the slum buildings owned by that hood in obama's district.

Then he gets in the Senate for a year, where he has an unremarkable history, and immediately runs for President, tapping into the country's anger at the democratic impotency in the face of George Bush, and lookie here.

I'll never understand why the media gave him a free pass on this while demanding then poring over Hillary's schedule from her first lady days.

Now I realize that the Democratic Party doesn't care about me, my votes, or the millions of voters in MI and FL. All they want is for their fave to win the nomination, and they don't care who they destroy in the process.

Are they incapable of just being quiet?

um..................no! next question please.

could they possibly screw things up any worse than they already have?

why yes, yes they could.

At this point, being an HRC supporter and all, I find both candidates disingenuous when it comes to their love for the country.  They love themselves more.  

That's the third party that won the White House in 1860.  That's the same party that will win it again this time, at this rate.

It wouldn't even be proper to call the Republicans a 3rd party in the 1856 election since the Whigs had already splintered in at least 3 directions.

Even in 1912, with a wildly popular former President leading a third party, the result was still a loss.

Third parties can only influence the major parties.

Sen Clinton has, to my surprise, done that and impressed me in ways I never would have imagined. (I was neither here nor there for her before: not with the knee-jerk haters, sympathetic for her plight as a target, but not a fan nonetheless.)

From what I've seen of her under the guns of Obama and the Dems and media and the Repugs all blasting at her -- she's more than earned my trust, respect, support and vote.

I'm with her all the way and if the Dems don't give her the win she's EARNED (not gamed or whined, like Obama's been doing, but won fair and square on merit and record) I'm writing her in the ballot and Dems can suck on it.

"His statement today was nothing more than a reiteration of his past comments that most superdelegates should be in a position after June 3rd to make a decision and make their support known. No one should read any further into it than that."

Reid, who himself has not endorsed, said he would not rush any of the superdelegates for now.

But, to have this "decided" before the convention, regardless of whether the leaderships is in the tank for BO, begs the question of, "Why have a convention?"  Other than to have a media covered "coronation", every other issue can be solved by committees...don't need it for the candidate to pick a VP.  Why bother.

Frankly, I recall when conventions used to actually mean something.  Where candidates were actually nominated and conferred.  Where delegates were wooed.  

I am not a real political junky - just work in the Beltway - but, I would feel kind of cheated and short changed.  I feel the primaries are stretched out too long, and started too early.  But, I want a reason to tune in to the convention.  Otherwise, I'll find something else to do this summer.

so what exactly is everyone upset about? this was never going to the convention. and they are once again letting it be known, in June if there isn't a clear winner the supes have to endorse.

Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid took his comments about the state of the Democratic primary one step further today, suggesting that he and other prominent Democrats would intervene in the race if primary season concludes without a clear winner:

after June, what are they waiting for? they have seen these candidates for 15 months if they don't know by now which they prefer?

you are seriously going to throw a fit because the supers have to choose the candidate in June instead of choosing the candidate 2 months later in August?

For them, it's personal, and it's about not only their visceral hatred and jealousy of the successful Clintons, but about class: This is their chance to "prove" once and for all that they don't need the stinking unwashed blue collar masses. Just tap internet donors, jack up AA turnout, plug and play.

There must be many Democrats looking at Obama's inability to win with the voters we all know he is anemic with.

This move could cause Obama's downward spiral to continue & Hillary is on a roll.

Once upon a time, I'd be incensed that someone would call them "dumb".  Now it's just a "yeah, what else is new?" type of deal.

God forbid the strongest candidate win, right Pelosi, Reid and Dean?
