If this somehow works and Hillary finds a way to secure the nomination I believe it will disenfranchise too many people in the Democratic Party and guarantee a republican victory in November. If you are an Obama supporter, is it not becoming more and more difficult to say that you will vote for whichever democrat wins the nomination?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It's definitely becoming more difficult. I had to make a list to remind myself that Clinton really is the lesser of two evils between her and McCain.

I hear you. I have to admit I'd still vote for her but certainly not with the same enthusiasm I would have for Barrack - I am a die-hard democrat. Many of my independent minded friends who are inclined to vote for Obama, however, have said the would choose McCain over Hillary.

I am always amazed as to how the American people have one, a very short memory, two, a very short attention span ( in believing everything that someone tells them) and three allow the media to let the Clintons always change the goal post if it does not go in their favor, how is it that Obama has one more states, and this idea that he won't get votes in the General is crazy, democrats will votes for him with his crossover appeal, he has accumulated more delegates even in Texan, and the media in wanting Clinton to win and overcome his lead so badly stated that the momentum was over, she so called won by less than 3% of the vote and now with the caucuses that is questionable.

Most of the votes she received at the last moment was due to the kitchen sink strategy, but those who made up their minds to vote for her, were not going to vote for Obama and looked for a reason, this Resko crap that the press is allowing her to continue to bring up, he is not on trial Resko is, you have dug and dug and the only thing that you can come up with is property that he purchased, remember Obama gave his money to charity, why can't we see the presidential papers or her tax returns to see what she did with Resko donations that she received, or his middle name or his wife's papers from college, let's not forget the scandal in about her senatorial campaign with Peter Paul giving her campaign 1.2 million dollars, which was never used for the campaign, never donated to charity, but there is a court case that is pending that shows Billary and Chelsea will have to testify on charges.

WHY IS THE PRESS NOT BRINGING THIS UP.? And her 35 years of experience is a joke and makes me want to throw up when I hear it, do the comparison of her 8 years in office passing legislation or getting it passed and Obama's 8 years in the state senate and 3 years in the senate and the important legislation that he has passed and how he has always been able to cross over party lines, but not Hillary the fighter who only wants to get back in to show the (Right winged conspirators') republicans and rub it in their face.

The bottom line is if Florida and Michigan are allowed as is to be counted it is not fair, he was not on the ballot, and so what if he chose not to by following the rules, and they Super delegates can wait for the Convention and choose Hillary, I will never vote for her, it will be McCain or stay at home, and it would be a sad day, because all the youth that Obama brought into the campaign not Clinton, she only wanted the youth after she saw what Obama was doing, just like she is insulting the states that she did not win, or have very small delegates stating that in the general they won't count. Hopefully you guys will read and learn.

Hillary was very much involved with the rule making process that lead to Michigan's and Florida's disqualification. Now she wants those votes to count. It amazes me that the Clintons can get away with breaking the rules and making up the rules as we go along.

Obama gave a great speech today on race relations in America. He is so right on with his recognition of the issue and his approach to address the issue. Hillary, on the other hand, just wants to abuse and use the issue of race to defeat her opponent.

Check out the article I seeded from Rasmussen Reports by Dick Morris. Though I rarely agree with the guy, I think he is correct in his assertion that Ferraro's comments where planned and an intentional effort by the Clinton campaign to create a racial divide that might garner some more votes for Hillary.
