Would Hillary drop out and endorse Edwards?
There's talk of Hillary getting establishment pressure. If she drops out, would she endorse Edwards? Hmmmmm

4. Hillary should think of Gore
And try and imagine what her post candidancy roll in the party might be. She wont they will fight to the last dollar. In other circumstances it would be the Clintons at their finest in this case it will somewhat sad and pathetic.

5. Why the hell should she drop out after just a couple of
primaries in states that aren't even representative of the majority of America? I don't support her as the nominee and I've certainly been critical enough of her as a candidate, but it really pisses me off that most of the rest of the country doesn't get the chance to weigh in on it as well. This is a really broken-down, fucked-up primary system we have now and I'm sick of not really getting a voice in it. More than half of the country doesn't get much of a voice in it, and people are getting mighty sick of it.

14. You're exactly right.
I'm not Hillary's biggest supporter either, but Iowa and New Hampshire and hardly representative of the majority of America.

No way should she drop out at this point, or endorse someone else. I don't think we've seen all we're going to see from Hillary.

6. Hey, she's a New Yorker. She should support her pal Rudy Giuliani.

8. Now, there's a true jackass remark.
And you couldn't stop yourself from making it. Why is that?

17. Hate to burst your bubble, here, but Hillary is hardly
a "pal" of Ghouliani by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not a supporter of her candidacy, but that was a really cheap, and very unnecessary, shot. And, in case you haven't noticed, most of New York doesn't support Ghouliani, either. They see right through him to the lying opportunistic grave-dancer he really is.

9. Who cares?
Hillary works for the "Company" - PRISON BREAK SERIES. She´s the real "BRIDE OF CHUCKY"! She´s suffers from Crocodile tears syndrome.

Europe loves Edwards. It is the new FDR/JFK of the New World. Democrats do not commit the same errors of the recent past.

I HAVE A DREAM!!!!! EDWARDS PRESIDENT OF USA! GO JOHNNY! GO GO GO! VICTORY!!! YEAH BABY!!!

I apologize all of you for my bad english. ;)

From Europe with love...

Cheers!!!

10. HIJACKED IN MICHIGAN
HELP -- WE’VE BEEN HIJACKED!

The Michigan State Primary is a mess. I want to vote for John EDWARDS but cannot because the Democratic National Committee (DNC) sanction Michigan because the primary date was moved up AND John EDWARDS, Obama, Biden, and Richardson removed their names from the Michigan ballot.

Independents MUST choose Democrat or Republican to vote in the January Primary OR vote Uncommitted.

My only choices are to vote for those named on the ballot - OR - vote UNCOMMITTED. We are being told to vote UNCOMMITTED and if there are enough uncommitted votes delegates will be assigned AND THESE DELEGATES WILL CAST THEIR VOTES AS THEY SEE FIT IN THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. This stinks! Watch this video on YouTube -- http://youtube.com/watch?v=1a5y75EiRsc

I am going to pass on the January Primary vote and wait until the August, 2008 Primary to cast my vote of John EDWARDS. I suggest all others who wished to vote for him or the other candidates NOT on the ballot to do the same. Here is a link to view the Michigan State Democratic Party's video telling us to vote UNCOMMITTED. Please watch it and pass the word to all Democratic and Independen voters of Michigan. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1a5y75EiRsc

Hiway

13. I think the Edwards campaign would want you to vote uncommitted
because uncommitted could beat Clinton and it would be a huge defeat for her.
