This one’s more of a question than a comment… but does anyone know who the final authority is on the seating of Florida and Michigan’s delegates if they don’t to a do-over and they decide to storm the Convention instead?

Is it Dean? Could he single handedly refuse to seat them in August if the whole thing isn’t settled by then.. possibly sealing the deal for Obama?

This is a step in the right direction for the Obama campaign. It changes the narrative of Clinton’s “Comeback” back on March 4th to another decisive 20%+ win.

The fact that she Hillary lost the delegate battle in Texas has not got the significant coverage it rightly deserves.

The story on March 5th was that Hillary was back in the race. The math certainly does not support this

Nobody can take away the glory that’s Hillary. She shines like a star and her followers love her every move.

She doesn’t spend much time in small, red states because she doesn’t need them. They’re not going to vote Democratic in the fall anyway. Her followers, who are very sophisticated, reside in large states. That’s where the power lies and she knows it.

Her foreign policy experience is rich. She talked at length with leaders around the world as first lady and uses that as her base of understanding.

Her experiences with health care has given her the ability to provide mandates health care for eveyone, including illegal immigrants. It will be a much more compassionate world when she becomes commander in chief.

Isn’t it about time a woman became president?

I loved your article about Obama. I am a first time reader and have discovered that your magazine is entertaining, provocative and substantive. I have decided to become a subscriber; not because of your article on Obama, he did open the door; however, but because I liked what I saw after I stepped in.

Isn’t it about time the best candidate got elected?

Let’s see if I’ve got this right: a handful of Democrats (that’s all there is in Wyoming, Cheney Country) and a few trouble-making Republicans choose Obama. Anyone want to put odds on how many votes he gets in the general.

“a few trouble-making republicans”??

dude are you so upset that a black man might get elected that you start taking on the tactics of the enemy… willing to stick your toe in the cesspool? careful, you may come out with a methicilin resistant staff infection that will infect your brain.

I noticed you didn’t say anything about me being wrong. On my poly-sci post either.

Listen Jed, you KNOW I’m a big fan of Obama. All I’m doing is defending HRC from scurrilous claims. There is no difference between the two candidates; they will each do the same if elected. All I ever said was, elect HRC now and Obama later. What’s so ‘bad’ about that? How does THAT make me poisoned? How do you equate THAT with the tactics of the enemy? I LOVE Obama. I HATE what I see Dems doing to HRC ’cause they don’t like her.

Your rebuttal to me on the other post said nothing about my assertion that she was NOT breaking any rules. If you don’t like how the game is played, change the game, but don’t blame the players by playing by the rules. I DON’T like it. But I don’t whine and cry about it either. Whoever wins, wins, I don’t care as long as they win the General. This is NOT about BHO and HRC. This is about attempting to undo all the bad that’s been done the past eight years.

Watching these idiotic posts about Hillary-this and Hillary-that without any substance is like watching children playing in a sandbox. It’s amusing for a few minutes, but when things get petty, and they sometimes do, it becomes painful.

Here’s the bottom line: there is NO difference between the two of them. None. Nada. Zilch. It’s just that some like one and some don’t like the other. And please, don’t tell me Obama is going to ‘lead.’ Based on what? What he says? I love what he says and I think he will make a great leader but it’s sure as HAIL not based on anything he’s done so far. Leading is NOT talking.

And as for the Koran being a criteria for Presidential selection, I have a feeling you might want to rethink THAT premise a little. I’ll chalk that comment up to an over-zealous desire to respond, NOT to rational thought. Setting litmus tests for qualifications is exactly how the Cons got us into this mess. I see no good reason to follow them down THAT trail. That’s why I’m NOT a Con.

And shame on you for even thinking that Obama’s ‘color’ might in some way effect how I think and feel about his qualifications for president. I’ve said repeatedly, I think he’ll make a great president … someday. Maybe next year, I don’t know, but it will have NOTHING to do with the color of his skin or his religious beliefs. It will be because of the man he is … or isn’t, as the case may be.

In case you haven’t got it, I don’t CARE who runs from this side, I CARE about the childish, idiotic, unsubstantiated accusations being leveled at HRC. It smacks of Condom.

They are not the same and to lump them in together is to miss the point of the whole campaign. Obama has proven himself to be mostly above the BS, they have gotten him down to their level some, but i can understand why he’s done it, unfortunately, the way the media plays with an issue he is forced to respond. The way he has dealt with some of his subordinates who have made scurrilous remarks is alot different than Sen. Clinton. While Clinton thrives in hyperbole such as equating to ken starr a valid issue with tax returns, in the obama campaign, that person would have handed in their resignation.
You see, I have an affinity for spotting those that have their own self interest at the forefront, such folks are easily manipulated because their desire to WIN prevents them from seeing what is correct. She easily shifted from a civil campaign to vile namecalling, and assaults on the opponent rather than promoting her own ideas and policies… up to this point, it seems she has none of any substance. Sen Obama has outlined his economic stimulus plan and what he’ll do about tax breaks, etc. Sen. Clinton has made no such announcements. She has not addressed at all what she would do about the energy crisis.

You see, when you limit your knowledge of a candidate to what the ‘news’ shows want to feed you, you loose alot of the realism of the candidate. Instead of merely looking at Wiki and taking that as gospel, go to the cspan site and look at their speeches and their appearances. While Sen Clinton seems to be devolving, Sen Obama is growing and becoming more and more the statesman we so sorely need.
No, they are not the same and will never be the same. What we need now is the intelligence, eloquence and judgment of someone who has not been blinded by elitism and beholden to a long career of political favoritism and cronyism. Someone whos moral compass has not been magnetized by the influence of special interests and the ambition of more power. That candidate is Sen. Obama
