Another old fart not going with the will of the people of his state. Guess he must not be going to run again.

Amazing the way they are jumping on the Obama bandwagon…afraid of being left out I guess. I think it’s amazing that they are so blatantly going against their own constituents. They would certainly not get my vote again if I lived there.

“Another old fart not going with the will of the people of his state.”

What does it tell West Virginians when their elected leaders turn their backs on the will of the people?

Didn’t Barack plead for superdelegates to vote the same way their states did? If he’s not a hypocrite (he is) then he would graciously concede WV’s superdelegates to Clinton. The new era of politics will have to wait another year because Barack has figured out that he can’t have his too-good-to-be-true ideals and win the ultimate prize.

Hillary should run as an independent candidate. Obama says he’s for “change” but he can’t change the Democrat party or govt. when there’s so many phonies backing him like Kennedy and Byrd. They are going to want something in return (that’s politics). The only way to get change is for an independent President who’s not tied to either party and the lobbyist groups.

Obama has called for unconditional direct talks between the U.S. and Iran, saying the U.S. would be negotiating from a position of strength. He has since modified that call, saying that mid-level meetings would have to set an agenda and criteria before direct talks could be conducted.
********************************
LOL …. Change the word modified above and put in the word flip-flopped. Obama has NO idea how to handle foreign affairs.

Byrd is worried about the situation in Iraq????? He should be worried about the situation right here at Home if Obama gets elected. WHAT are these superdelegates thinking???

So elections are not about what the American people want, it’s about what sexist men in power do regardless. They vote for Obama not because they want him in office, it’s because they would rather have a Anti-American man in office than a highly qualified TRUE AMERICAN WOMAN IN OFFICE. WOMEN DISCRIMINATION TO THE CORE!

BUSH HAS KEPT US SAFE AT HOME SINCE 9/11. “WHY” DOES OBAMA VOTE AGAINST HOME SECURITY BILLS??

Didn’t Byrd already endorse Obama? Why is this news now?

Do these morons called superdelegates really think obama can win in nov.?

Long time democrat here is going republican!

All those, who endorsed Obama,should they go first and read, Andy Martin,Executive Editor and #1, Internet columnist,broadcaster, from Chicago,the Rezko,Obama,Ayers, pattern of deception. GO to ContrarianCommentary.blogspot.com, please read,what the media is trying to hide from the American people. I never was Obama’s fan,because I knew,he and his wife,both of them are fake, they are arrogant and think America and the American people,own them to be where they are today. They should never go close to the WH,specially to be President and First Lady.

Byrd backs obama BUT his PEOPLE DON”T!!!

The WILL/VOTES of the PEOPLE - COUNT!!

Byrd or Bird???? Was that the Bird Obama gave Hillary on national television a few weeks back or was that the Byrd? Media sure brushed That one under the rug. MSNBC went so far as to cut out “the incident” and put it back in at a “different” location in his speech to make it Look like he didn’t flip off a past First Lady of the United States of America. It is AMAZING that “anyone” would vote for a person like that.

This election is going be analyzed for its candidates, the pundits, the media, and most importantly the pubilc’s involvement the entire process thanks to the internet.

I find this to be rather surprising coming from Byrd. I guess he needs DNC dollars for another re-election campaign. Explanation. It looks as if Obama will be the DMX nominee. He must support the party’s candidate in the national election. His state appears to be a steep hill for said candidate. His state’s constituents appear to some of hardest hit by economy, so there’s not a lot of campaign dollars within the state. Byrd needs dollars from outside the state.

Another Judas.
His state overwhelmingly voted for Hillary Clinton.
I guess it doesn’t matter what the American voters want!
The DNC has crossed a lot of lines this election.
It doesn’t want Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and even Kentucky and Puerto Rico, who have yet to even vote.
Donna Brazile says the “new” Democratic party doesn’t need white, (her word), working class and Latinos.
Bob Beckel said to fox, “If I were Obama, I’d never set my plane down in West Virginia again”!
Bob Beckel is who came up with the idea of Superdelegates!
Who exactly does the DNC need in their party if all those I mentioned are booted out!
Reagan was right.
We didn’t leave the Democratic party. “They left us”!

ANY LEADER BACKING OBAMA should be removed from office at reelection time!!!

It is ridiculous that these supers and leaders are announcing all this…AND I think the super delegate idea the dems came up with a couple years ago is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

Haley Rodman Clemson,
West Virginians need to recognize the fact the HRC had written off WV as unimportant in her master campaign plan to have it all wrapped up on Super Tuesday. Her campaign has really been an embarassment for her. They had no plan past Feb 5. They had no fallback plan to raise additional funds. The campaign thought caucus states as irrelevant, and the manager himself—and on down the line to the candidate—did not even realize that delegates were awarded proportionally.

Molly.
That is what I have been trying to tell people.
When the court ruled the DNC a “private entity”, and they could boot Fla and Mi, it changed the DNC forever.
That ruling gives the DNC the authority to boot ALL AMERICAN”S VOTES, if it chooses to!
None of your votes count!
The DNC can and will override the people it pretends to represent!
It is doing it right in front of all of you!
See how terrible they treat Clinton, Fla, Mi, WV. KY, and Pa.???
Look at Richardson, Kennedy, Kerry, Byrd.
They all went against their own constituents!

Why would Byrd support Obama when his state voted 41% for Hillary? I hope the democrats in WV vote republican when the race for senate comes up again. Apparently, the Democratic Party does not care about the people only themselves.

i fill like are vote is like a piece of toilet paper and just got wiped i think everyone should call howard the coward dean and ask him to step down

What a piece of work. obama gets clobbered, and this guy spits in the voters face. The people of West Virginia should put out a petition to remove the sorry sack

Michael in Atlanta…..Thanks to Bush Your butt is Still sitting around this wonderful country of ours. While Obama is sitting around having tea parties with the enemy, it’s the Bush Homeland Security Policies that will be Protecting your Butt (before Obama takes all those policys Off the table).

the dnc, the whole party is worthless…the only ones standing with the dems are the ones seeking handouts and help from the gov or the gross liberals who want to drain any moral values.

the dems are leading us the way of sodom…

and how the election is being handled by them is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! totally…

by the way i said prove it now blame bush that is everyones excuse that is to easy

He is hoping this will help give him a clear concious for his past. Wrong. He will change his vote right along with the rest of them at the convention. What a sad way to end his career. Hopefully he takes Mr. Obama out with him.

angry white person,
I mean Obama might not be their kind of person, and Byrd used to be. The fact still remains that Hillary had written off WV as irrelevant long before the WV primary, long before Super Tuesday on Feb 5.

I am one who has been hurt and dissatisfied with Bush’s econmic policies, and I hope the next president will do better. Bush’s policies have not helped the people of WV, but tended to favor corporate America and those with 6 figure incomes.

Bush’s gift to taxpayers in the summer of ‘04 gave those with incomes over $150k a full 8% of the gross income back. Not an 8% cut in their taxes, but 8% of their gross income. 30-35% of my gross goes toward federal taxes. My gift amount to less than 0.004% of my gross pay of $45k at the time.

After spitting on West Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Puerto Rico, working class white people and Latinos, are you all still willing to hand your vote over to any member of the DNC!
Your right to vote your choice is the most precious of all your rights. You should protect it at all costs.
The DNC has stripped two states full of Americans and disregarded many more, without actually telling them to their faces they were stripped!
The DNC has slapped every American who went to a poll and voted for one of their candidates!
Both Clinton and Obama supporters should be outraged at the complete disregard the DNC is showing to the American voters!
None of your votes matter th the DNC.
They will choose and you can all take a hike!
Just look at what they are doing to the voters in those states I mentioned.
Your votes aren’t worth a hill of beans to the DNC!
Nice job Howard Dean!

This is why the conservatives are out of step with the rest of the country.

The insults to a whole state full of American voters is really helping Obama. Keep talking!

Kudos to Senator Byrd, an icon in the state of WVA. I am sure this comes from his heart and a love for the Constitution which he and Senator Obama share.

hey joanne wanna go out for a beer?

the truth must hurt you are either stupid or black to vote for obama he will sell us out for the kool aid the only people he cares about are the rich

Byrd, should count if he will get the “tomorrow” in his ager,not Iraq. he is a scamp like the orhers.

Bush said that we went to Iraq so that we would not have to fight them here. With all the plots you list, it seems like we are fighting the Terrorist right here. So, Bush lied about not having to fight them here just so he could pursue his political agenda in Iraq. This is an abusive treatment of our troops.

A W P,
This is tough for me. The last 6 years under Bush have been hard. I am unemployed, so I blog half the day and look for a job. I don’t think I can survive another 4 years of Bush economics. Clinton does appear likely to “win” the nomination. McCain has no economic policy, except Bush’s failed policies. Obama is unproven in far too many ways, but comes across as more likeable on the international scene than McCain.

McCain is too close to Bush on the international stage. Obama wants to pull out troops. McCain wants to do it slowly. If McCain feels pullout is a diplomatic disaster, that means the US is no longer the diplomatic super-power is used to be. The sad part is that McCain could be right.

I lost my job because they closed the local military base to pay for this war in Iraq.

I don’t know what Bush have done to preven 9/11?

I think he wasn’t prepare for those situation (who is prepare? nobody, I think), but his perfomance in 9/11, was a poor one.

I don’t know what the people acknowledge Bush.

Granddaughter of Ex-klansman.

It is apparent that the democratic powers that be, have pushed Hillary out of the democratic party, Byrd is a good example. It would be a disgrace to her and her backers if she took the offer for a spot on the ticket for VP, after all the nomination has actually been stolen from her, by the party executives & the main stream media. I am a republican and don’t agree with Mccain & though I don’t agree with Hillary on everything, I feel she should run on an independent ticket. We need someone to keep the U.S from being taken over by radical MUSLIUMS. I think her runnig independently would stop that from happening. She has run her campagin, without exposing Obama for the Radical MUSLIUM that known information has pointed out that he surely is one. She has played nice to long. This has allowed others to do Obamas dirty work against her just as he did to competion in Illinois Obama has worked behind the scenes to destroy her campaign while preaching to have a clean campaign . Hillary & Mccain have fell in lock step with his clean campaign talk, while he destroys them in the shadows. WAKEUP.

GO OBAMA AND THIS IS ONE WHITE CATHOLIC WOMAN AGE 66 WHO IS A WOMAN ALONG WITH 17 OF MY SISTERS, NEICES, FAMILY MEMBERS ALL CATHOLIC, WHITE, AGES 19 TO 71 WHO LOVE OBAMA AND BELIEVE IN HIM AND WILL VOTE FOR HIM TIME FOR CHANGE AND THAT FOR SURE HIS DIRECT TALKS WITH THE SO CALLED ENEMIES WILL HELP ITS WORTH A TRY GOOD LUCK OBAMA

Instead of going after the people who attacked us, we went after Iraq. If Bush could have stayed focued, we would have more troops in Afganistan that we do in Iraq.

and will release it in Oct.

Dick Morris was Odinga’s campaign adviser last year in Kenya.
Obama stumped for him last summer.
It was Morris who predicted “ri ots in the streets”!

Obama Girl,

That was a typo. “Clinton does NOT appear likely to “win” the nomination.”

rwethereyet ,

The problems and signs of things to come were there prior to 2006. Democrats simply gave Bush the same that the Republicans gave Clinton during his final years in office. But, Bush still has the veto power. Those are the facts, not spin.

Bush has not made us safer, which I define as reducing the threat to national security. There are far more threats today than in 2006, which had more than 2004, which had more than 2000. Those are the facts, not spin

Wow!! Michael in Atlanta, YOU should run for President. YOU’VE got it ALL figured out. How did you get inside the head of President Bush anyway??

Let them all endorse him. He can’t win in the General. Hillary has Catholics, workers, seniors, unions. Also- It’s a myth that she does not have educated voters. What about the teachers? Their union endorsed her (AFT). As far as I know, they all have degrees, and advanced degrees as well!
I would like to see Bill and Hill take a nice vacation after this and not rush into campaigning for anyone else. they cheated her out of florida. She owes them nothing.

HaHa Fox u suck!

Dick Morris, has said many times on Fox News that the Obama supporters would riot worse than anything we saw in 1968.

Donna Brazil, has said there would be protest in the streets and she would quit the DNC…if Obama were not the nominee

Sharpton has also eluted to mass protests in Denver that would not be nice and he would not support Democratic Platform….

This has been talked about among Stradegists and Pundits for months…

Superdelgates ARE scared of riots in Denver…one reason they have tried to push Hillary out…Superdelegates are going against the WILL of the voters in thier state and District…this is a FACT….
