2. How come it is considered o.k. and, indeed, expected for black people to support other black people but when white people want to support other white people it is considered racist?

3. Finally, what would happen if…. a woman was to become leader of the most powerful country in the world and if that woman leader did a BETTER job than ALL of the previous MALE leaders?

Democrats are TRAITORS.
For the first time in 25 years, I intend to vote a straight Republican ticket. Go John McCain.

Good point on Roberts / Alito. They are more to the center than Ginsberg and Stevens.

I hardly consider Roberts or Alito to be radicals, and I would ask you to provide examples of their radical nature. I also don't think Scalia or Thomas are any more extreme on their views than Ginsburg or Stevens are in theirs.

Kyle in reference to Rev's comment to you, my problems with Obama center around his lack of any real executive accomplishment or substantial legislative work to justify his election to president. I find his plans to be short on true feasibility, I oppose his healthcare proposal and thought Clinton's was superior. It has nothing to do with his personality. To be honest his personality is what has won him his support not anything he has done, so it is completely normal for people to not support him if they don't like it, but I think that is a superficial judgement on your part.

In saying that, they admit that they are not truly Democrats. A vote for John McCain is a vote for the fifth hard core radical conservative Supreme Court justice. The one needed to gut many liberties Americans now have.

Cutting the nose off to spite the face doesn't even begin to describe the foolishness behind a Democrat voting for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008.

And Kyle: Very good comment back to Alex.

cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush. quote from Paul Begal..

Middle America will not vote for an out of touch "Elists" with terrorist ties…We will vote for a true American Hero…

Any party that strips voters of thier votes and ignores the Will of the people will become small and less relevant in the long run ….George Soro's just doesn't have that much money…

Hillary's Dems have no respect for Obama and nothing he can do now will change that…no speach which we are all so sick of anyways…

Hillary / McCain for President no one else will do…Nobama

Keep living in your denial…

Democrats for McCain08

I agree with you that our primary has been divisive. I talk regularly with supporters of Senator Clinton who are genuinely mad at me, Obama, and whoever else is getting in the way of her nomination. But, we've got a long time until November. As I said in the post, the issues are on our side and Clinton Democrats will be energized for our party because they care about them too.

There is a fundamental difference between the relationship disenfranchised Democrats and Republicans have with their current nominee. For Democrats, it is the perception of Obama's personality and Senator Clinton's treatment by the media. I cannot wait to hear Obama's first speech once Hillary endorses him. He will pay proper tribute to her and it will begin the process of bringing the party back together in a big way. Mark my words. First speech miracle.

For disenfranchised Republicans, their problems with McCain are much deeper. They don't like his personality and they don't like the issues he has made his career on. McCain – Feingold, global warming, and an exemption on abortion for rape, incest and life of the mother are three big areas of disagreement. I'd much rather have the hurt feelings for the Democrats than the fundamental differences for Republicans.
