I sat all morning watching the Democratic Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting. Yes, I know. I have no real life to speak of. But I was on pins and needles waiting to see how they would determine what to do about seating the Florida and Michigan delegates - the two states that broke the rules by moving their primaries up. The end result was what I expected. The states will be seated at the convention at half strength.

Obama emerged from the RBC proceedings with a grand total of 2,052 delegates, just 66 short of the now 2,118 required to win the nomination. Clinton has 1,877.5 delegates, 240.5 short of the number needed to win. There are only 290 delegates left. On Tuesday, after the polls close in Montana and South Dakota, Obama will have clinched the nomination. On to the general!!!

The one that bothered me about the proceedings was some of the very ignorant Clinton supports in attendance causing a ruckus with their protest inside and outside of the meeting. What an embarrassment these people are. It's hard for me to fathom that these people are really part of the democratic party -- the Big Tent Party. If you don't know what I am talking about, check this out:



For her to say Barack Obama, who is Harvard educated and a SENATOR, is an "inadequate" black man is truly disgusting. Imagine what type of message that would send to any young African American striving for something better in life.




So these "feminists" who support Hillary are going to vote for the Anti-Choice, Anti-civil rights policy, conservative Bush-cronie McCain over the Pro-Choice, Pro-civil rights Democrat Obama.
That makes these people one of the following:

1. RACISTS.
2. MISANDRISTS (man-haters)
3. REPUBLICANS.

What an embarrassment these people are. It's hard for me to fathom that these people are really part of the democratic party -- the Big Tent Party.

    While I believe the women in these examples you have posted both have another agenda for voting for Hilary, White vs. Black, I can't understand why they say they would vote for McCain. So they could "punish" the Democratic party? If I felt that strongly about not supporting the candidate my party chose, I wouldn't vote for the other out of spite....I would decline to vote for either candidate in that race therefore leaving it up to the voters who do support one or the other.

    Read Tim Wise's book, or google for the letter he posted today to White Women Who Supported Hillary Clinton but Are Thinking About Voting for McCain.
