What would happen if?

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

If Obama goes to the Convention with the lead in popular votes, pledged delegates and number of states won and it is turned over by superdelegates to Hillary you will see millions of new voters, blacks, and Obama supporters not vote Democrat in the fall. I expect it would be the same if Hillary went in with the popular vote lead, pledged vote lead, and number of states won. You are disenfranchising millions of people. I myself would simply not vote for president.

I think it would set the Democratic Party back for years and years. I am not crying over spilled milk, or taking my baseball and going home. We would simply be going back to party politics in the past. I also suspect that McCain would win in a cakewalk. It is not that Hillary would win the nomination instead of Obama, it would be how.

1. i think there would be rioting in the streets.

4. That was over a war. Both candidates support the current war.

So, not an apt analogy.

12. there were young people involved.

we have many young people who have come out and voted for the first time. do you think they'll stand by quietly and let this happen?

Actually, don't remember it but believe that that's what would happen!

2. It would destroy the party.

3. I agree that it would tear the Party apart

I would have a hard time voting for Clinton in this scenario. I would certainly not do any work for the campaign.

6. I turn in my form to transfer my affiliation to Independent.

It is mainly a symbolic move om my part (I'll still vote Democratic), but at least I'll feel better. And maybe I can take some satisfaction in watching the news as they talk about the mass exodus of people from the Democratic Party.

10. my name

Eight years ago, I was one of only a few. There are a lot more that are sorry now. My Repug sister who thought he was the return of Christ agrees with me. I am glad that the village idiot will be going home. I just hope and pray that we don't have a republican again.
