If you look he only had the black vote still with him he has lost voters and many wish now they knew about all this for they would not of voted for him. At the last debate Obama seemed lost and unwilling to answer questions whereas Hillary answered and apologized for the Bosnia statement she said. I find it refreshing that someone has come forward and took responsibility for their "mangled or Misspoken words" http://www.sbcbaptistpress.org/BPnews.asp?ID=27689 So unfortunately I will not be voting Dem if Obama gets nomination. My only hope is something about McCain makes me look at him again.

Dem super delegates in their panic to get the White House back will be forced to select Hillary as their best bet to challenge McCain. Obama has just too much negative baggage to get elected. Also, aside from IL, Obama has shown that he does not have the ability to win the really big states and we're only talking about the primaries, Nov will be much, much tougher.

Reality = Abstract notions like "momentum" don’t mean much at this point. Statisticians have already determined that it is impossible for Clinton to catch up to Obama in delegates won between now and the convention. Reality = There's no way the superdelegates are going to steal the nomination from the candidate with the most delegates won at the time of the convention. Why? That would be undemocratic. It would destroy the Democratic Party’s reputation (revealing hypocrisy). It would likely force masses of Obama supporters to either not vote in the general election or vote for McCain. Reality = the only way Hillary Clinton will be able to get the superdelegates to steal/overturn Obama's lead at convention time, is through a Tanya Harding approach. The Clintons have already made the dirtiest plays one could easily conceive of and it has not worked to date (e.g., make Obama out to be anti-American, play the race card, associate Obama with controversial figures or with Islamic religion or Bin Laden himself). As solid a Democrat as I am, I would personally NEVER, EVER vote someone into office who would so relentlessly pursue personal gain/glory that she would attempt to destroy another person along the way. And let’s be clear, Obama is and has always been the underdog in this race. The Clintons consider themselves the icons of the Democratic party and they are extremely connected and advantaged when it comes to garnering support of superdelegates and utilizing relationships for favors, etc., concerning campaign activities. Barack Obama has overcome unbelievable odds in maintaining his lead despite all of the advantages that Clinton has had. He and his supporters deserve every ounce of credit for what they have achieved and what he is likely to achieve in the end—the nomination and the presidency. One last note: The Clinton camp seems to be working very hard to promote phony arguments about her ability to win in the general election due to a demonstrated ability to win the larger states. Do not be fooled. The Clinton campaign spreads these ideas while knowing full well that there is no genuine parallel between (a) a democratic candidate’s ability to win larger states when running against another democrat in a democratic nomination process and (b) a democratic nominee’s ability to win larger states when running against a republican in the general election. (It’s easy to look back at previous contests and see that this just isn’t true.) People who win particular states during party nominee contests often don’t win the same states in the general election. It’s a phony argument. Yet many voters buy into it, unfortunately. As Obama has said repeatedly, Clinton has every right to continue to compete all the way to the convention. But she’s doing this for selfish reasons and she’s willingly putting our party’s chances of winning the white house (and getting our troops home) at great risk.

Michael you really need to stop basing your arguments on emotions and reactions.

The bases we have in Germany, Japan etc still carry strategic necessity, futhermore, we've not been asked to leave by those governments. Much like our negotiations with Poland and the Czech Republic today. One of the more immediate reasons for doing so is the construction of defense facilities against an attack from Iran into Europe.

How would you like to have military bases from another country in the USA?

How would we like to have military bases from another country in the USA?….We’d never place ourselves in that situation, the question doesn’t need consideration.
