**************************************************************************************************

Voting for the IRAQ WAR, then refusing to apologize for it; 20 to 30 million supporters

Playing the “RACE CARD”, then refusing to reject race-based votes; 95% of African American voters

Making shell-shocked decisions after suffering heavy Bosnian sniper-fire; A campaign debt approaching $50 million dollars

Destroying the Democratic Party with scorched-earth politics; a once glorious legacy TRASHED

The expression on Hillary Clinton’s face after conceding on June 4th; Priceless!

But attempting to push the argument that the delegate math has changed prior to the rules committee convening on May 31st is a bit of a stretch. Even with Michigan and Florida seated she still loses. Its time to let it go… I first heard about Clintons attempt at changing the delegate math at http://www.whitewidowreport.com Senator Clinton is a Great politician and I applaud her for her efforts.

"change you can believe in" scary stuff to them. And it is hurtful to think of them as backwards, but when it comes to something as progressive as a Black person being better off (a class issue), better educated, and possibly the leader of the free world -- that's change that they can't fathom.

Hillary Clinton won KY by 35% over Obama, and yet Obama pocketed more delegates by three folds there. In addition, DNC has pressured Hillary Clinton to quit since March despite the fact that she's got strong supporters behind her. All that said about Obama's ability to unite whatever and to work with whoever to get work done, and most importantly, he's got a big DNC machine behind him. Yet, he could not close the race as late as yesterday. With only three states remaining (assuming no recast in MI and FL), Obama must win all three states in order to secure the nomination by default. Therefore, my question is why in the world would the Democratic party led by Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Chris Dodd to pressure Hillary Clinton to quit? Please look into the relationship between these three men. As an independent voter, I now decide either Hillary Clinton for President or my vote goes to the republican party to make a statement.

Very much a part of the SE OH, WV, KY tristate that's one of the centers of Appalachia and its culture.

The people there do not like change. Most of them are old. Most of the young people (esp 35 and under) move away, as I did. I don't care if Barack O promised to given every last Appalachian a $1000 check...most of them wouldn't vote for him. (Lots of them believe he's Muslim and an infiltrator too. I discovered this recently when going home for my little brother's wedding. They all believe the insanity spewed on Fox and via viral emails that he will do the bidding of the Muslims terrorists. I got into a couple of heated debates. *rolls eyes*) Kenyon,
