Please put your backign behind HRC. She is the only candidate qualfied to win against GOP. How can Ameriansd gamble when so much is at stake.
Deaft Hillary Rodham Clinton. Media has clearly been baised - we expect your support and endrosemen of HRC . Many Hillary su[[prts will not vote for Obama. They will stay home. The big states she won will be up for grabs. In addition GOP will successfully prey on his inexpencene.. Plesae do not gamble with America’s future. Take it to the convention and remaining Super Delegaes should hold their endorsements until battle is truly over.

Gina DeFilippo:
I respect your support for Clinton however, I am not willing to continue on the same path with the same politicians. Nor am I willing to continue the revolving Bush/Clinton door on the White House.
By the way this decision was made even before Obama entered the race. I was a John Edwards supporter.
Also, I am still waiting to see Clinton’s “real” experience. Her First Lady papers and archive news articles/videos have contradicted her statements.
The statement “Obama’s inexperience” is such a false one. Obama has actually been a Senator far longer than Clinton has. He was a state Senator for 11 years before he went to Washington. Don’t bother with the too young excuse either; Bill Clinton was 46 when he was inaugurated. Obama is older.
I think it’s shameful that any Clinton supporter will stay home if Clinton is not the nominee. That amounts to extortion. And, the Clinton supporters that stamp their feet and stay home on election day will be the cause of McCain taking the White House not Obama. By staying home, Clinton supporters will be gambling with America’s future .

Neocon Pat Buchanan is claiming that Hillary is going to have herself nominated at the Demoratic Convention for Vice President and force her way onto the ticket by staying in the race and driving Obama’s support down.
A sickening thought.

Hillary on the ticket as VP will go against the “change” message. You can’t change if your carrying the same old baggage.
