The following is from a Mainstream Media source (MSNBC)
In two battlegrounds, voters say, not yet
“She is not running against Obama or the party so much right now but the clock,” said Dan Gerstein, a Democratic strategist who supports Mr. Obama. “The math is such that she can’t win by conventional means.”
Her best shot, both Mr. Gerstein and independent analysts argued, is that her new victories will give superdelegates pause concerning Mr. Obama long enough for Mrs. Clinton to damage him with a line of attack, goad him into making a colossal gaffe (or watch him make one on his own) or rely on the media to unearth a race-altering scandal about him.
It is sad to see politics as usual retain the ability to conduct itself this way. I know we are in transition periods. Many people are saying enough is enough already, but there are still too many people who are wedded to the old, violence, lies, slime way of politics.
I think that if the Democratic Party allows the primary to play out according to the last paragraph of the article then I very likely will be gone from the party. I hope too that Obama will seriously consider going third party. I will not vote for Hillary, period. The blood of Iraqis and dead US and coalition forces is on her hands, and was authorized on her watch. The incomprehensible BILLIONS of dollars being swallowed up in the tragic misadventure and its severe gutting of the US Social and Economic system… The slimy character assassination tactics… the repeated secretive dealings (Clinton Tax Returns, Union-busting Chief Strategist)…
I will not be a part of rewarding her with my vote.

Hi–my name is Paul, I found your blog because I am involved with Obama Works and was very happy to see your post about us the other day. I just wanted to say that I understand your frustration with the Hillary and with Hillary, but as an Obama supporter, I respectfully disagree. She may have blood on her hands, but it’s not she who wants to continue the war indefinitely, and it’s not she who says it is the “transcendental conflict of our generation.” That’s McCain–and if Hillary does make it out of the primaries instead of Obama, the sort of thinking you’re talking about will empower him.
A friend of mine and I actually made a site based on our thoughts about this. It’s called theDemPledge and it’s located at http://www.thedempledge.com. Feel free to check it out…and I am curious to know what you think, and why you disagree, if you disagree.

I will check out your web site.
However I will not vote for McCain either. If Hillary is allowed to succeed with disgraceful behavior (with votes and delegates from Michigan/Florida) then I pray that both the Democratic Party and the Clintons will experience massive loss of members and votes.
