...the right thing to do.

I'm scratching my head. Why would some supporters of Hillary Clinton threaten to stay home from the polls in November or vote for John McCain? That is asinine. Idiotic. The mark of sore losers. Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Yes, it would be nice to have a woman nominated for president. And lots of women worked hard to try to make that happen. But to be bitter because Clinton didn't get the nomination -- well, that's too bad. It's still nice that a black man defeated Clinton. Especially a black man who is very much like Clinton on the issues. Can't one take solace in that? And admit that at least Obama is the second best choice? Seems to me that Obama is kinder and gentler than Hillary Clinton. That's why he is my choice. But if Obama had lost, I'd be voting for hard-edged Clinton. Because that would be the right thing to do. --Jim Broede

Remember, Hillary Clinton backers, the enemy isn't Barack Obama. It's John McCain. And George Bush, too. Obama is a friend. A political ally. --Jim

It is because it is ALL about the Clintons, as far as they are concerned. She has kept the spotlight on herself, once again-secret meetings, NEGOTIATING her place in the new administration!?!? AND her husband's place!?!?!?? She is waiting to make HER big decision, just to stay in the limelight, once again. She is a power-hungry woman, and that is very dangerous.

Sorry, babe, the decision has already been made, and it wasn't yours to make. Those supporters, who blindly scream at the news cameras, should not be given the attention they have.

My take on Michigan and Florida:Hillary did NOT win-the elections were skewed, (in MI, thanks to the forever attention seeking Governor-Hillary's BFF, BTW). Well, they got attention! I guess some think any attention is better than none, right?
The voters were disenfranchised from the moment the legislatures considered moving the election dates. They should have been trying to make the changes WELL before the election.
