    Bill's a Salesman I wonder how many world leaders were able to say "no" to Bill Clinton when he was president?

    Why Announce Now? The complexion of the Democratic race is changing too rapidly. Why in the world would a superdelegate announce now when something (else) major could come along that would cause them to regret their premature decision. I know that the supporters of Sen. Obama want this wrapped up. However, let the rest of those who want to vote in primaries do so! Ms Marquez sounds like she would like to disenfranchise these voters by having the superdelegates make the decision for them. The primary voters in Michigan and Florida have already been disenfranchised by DNC (and the candidates) decisions. I find this stunningly offensive. Too bad the timing is not going the way Ms Marquez and Dr. Dean want. Welcome to democracy. It ain't pretty, but it's the best system we have.

    SUPERDELEGATES I UNDERSTAND WHERE DEBBIE IS COMING FROM BUT I SAY LET HILL RUN ON!! THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND THIS IS HER FINAL PLACE IN THE SUN. I HAVE BEEN A SUPER DELEGATE AND UNLIKE THE MEDIA I KNOW THEY HAVE THE PARTY'S BEST INTEREST AT HEART. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD GO AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. AS FAR AS FLORIDA AND MICH. ARE CONCERNED THEY KNEW THE RULES BEFORE THEY DID WHAT THEY DID AND HILLARY WENT ALONG WITH THE RULES UNTIL SHE STARTED LOSING, SO WHERE IS HER HONESTY IN THIS MESS? YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE RULES TO FIT YOUR PROGRAM WHEN YOU START TO LOOSE.POOR PLANNING IS PART OF A CAMPAIGN THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN WHEN THINGS START TO GO WRONG. NUFF SAID?

    Never did I say that! I have stated very clearly that the SD's should make their decisions after the primary contests have been completed.
    come the end of this primary season need to get off the fence and confirm our nominee


    As a DNC member who values voters, has fought for voting integrity and against voter suppression, your claim that I would disenfranchise voters is insulting. I suggest you clean your glasses and re-read the article.


    Your comment is what is stunningly offensive.

    Who Values Voters? As a superdelegate you were given the power to cancel out 10,000 votes. I call that voter suppression and when you make a public announcement trumpeting your support for Barack Obama days before an important primary I call that a lack of integrity.
