Actually, may 20 is the date he will have the majority of pledged delegates sealed up, which would mean victory to those of us people who play by the rules...But that's just me...I guess McCain slapped everyone in the face in 45 out of the 50 states then?

Osamaniacs do not believe in democracy and elections. They believe in 'God Damn America'!

um, Greg, you might want to learn what the rules are before you go around citing them. The rules don't say that the person who is ahead in delegates is the winner. The rules say the person who has more than X delegates wins. Neither of them have reached the magic X number,and therefore, according to the rules, the race continues.

Except if you are Obama, who thinks that he is entitled to win based on his sheer nothingness.

Barack Obama: The Unbearable Lightness of Being Nothing.

Are you kidding? Hasn't anyone learned yet from what he did to Florida & Michigan Voters when he prevented a revote?

He knows PR will vote for Hillary.

That is why he will declare before then. He wants to stop the vote or stunt the impact if there is one.

He does not care about Hispanic or Latino Voters.

He just cares about Obama getting the presidency at any cost and what ever it takes.

obama is afraid that puerto rico will exspose him for what he is. on may 20 he will not have 2025 delegates which is the rule.but in his world of entitlement he wants to give the impression that his reign is inevitable,disrepecting the remaining states and the authority of the dnc .so on may 20 he wants to make himself emperor .as a black male myself i could never vote for someone like obama .hillary clinton is much more qualified and if he is nominated as the nominee the democrats will lose by more than 35 states .it will be mike dukakis all over again.the truth is the emperor obama has no clothes.

I too am offended by Obama's alleged idea that he is athe heir apparent. Being from Montana, I also would like a say. We might not be worth many delegates, but we do count.
And who knows, Obama may still have some buried relevations that could come out or his arrogant conversations may actually slip up in some fashion.

With all due respect, Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state yet... Senator Obama has no realistic chance of winning there. If he does campaign there he'll be accused of ignoring the real fifty states and it would be a strategic blunder on his part since he now must focus on winning the general election.

By the way, I live in McCain's home state of Arizona and the many Hispanics and Hispanic political groups who I've talked to here do not like or care for McCain despite all the hype that the mainstream media has generated about him. He sold them out when he gave up on moderate immigration reform.

I also find it insulting that you assume that all Hispanics are the same and have the same interests. While Obama's skipping out on Puerto Rico may not bode well with many Puerto-Ricans, it doesn't have the same consequences with the Mexican and Cuban communities who reside in states like Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada... states that Obama needs to spend more time in.

I guess some may not know, Florida Hispanics, Cubans & Latinos are already furious at Obama.

Clinton can NOT mathematically catch Obama on pledged delegates alone. Just like Huckabee couldn't catch McCain after a certain date. Does that mean McCain slapped Baptists in the face when he declared victory?

A person of color? A non white? Aren't their white Hispanics? How about non European based black Hispanics? Asians? Are they almost white? Is white a sin? Are non whites unified in some way or do the dynamics of politics and economics override some sense of ethnic solidarity? If whites were unified, how would Obama thrive? There is no ethnic solidarity. Mexicans are told from birth that many other groups are bad, as are white groups. Why can't the issues be the guide? Why isn't humanity the issue? What about my multiracial children who can't speak Spanish while I do?

The popular vote totals at the end of the primaries should be REALLY interesting. Everyone's been jumping the gun, ESPECIALLY THE MEDIA, ever since super tuesday. Ugh.

If nothing else, can we all please make sure McCain does NOT win the White House when this is said and done. PLEASE.

God, I hope Hillary gets the nomination. I've been excited about her since I first saw a bumper sticker (before she even anounced it)

Wow. Its very easy to spot the Clinton supporters in this thread. Some people sound pretty upset, can't blame them, I'd be mad to if the person I supported was losing.

It all comes down to money. Come November, all the people who swore they would not vote for Obama will because they do not want to see McCain continue Bush's bad policies. If the economy was better McCain would have a shot, but it isn't and people want accountability and change.

Yes...it is easy to spot the Hillary Supporters... we are the ones that use calm reason in our posts. We say, settle down, and let democracy play itself out. Neither candidate will reach X delegates... so why not use the democratic standard of the popular vote?? Which Hillary could still win. But regardless if she does or not... it makes sense to let the remaining states/territories have their say as well.

Now it is the Obamamaniacs who resort to crude, irrational, ad hominem attacks on Hillary.

I am a male.... but even I can see that this whole turning on Hillary thing and counting her out is the biggest display of Misogyny I have ever witnessed.

If Hillary gets her two blowout wins in West Virginia and Kentucky, she will be back on track.

A recent Rasmussen survey put her up 29 points in West Virginia, another poll had her up 40 points. A recent Survey USA poll of Kentucky had her up 34 points. Rasmussen recently had her up 25 points. —Jay Cost May 9, 2008, Real Clear Politics. Please donate to Hillary's campaign, and write to the superdelegates. It is easy to do using this website:

Let the superdelegates know that you will not vote for the Democratic Party if Hillary is treated unfairly. Tell them that they should not stop the race before all the states have had a chance to vote, and that they should recognize Michigan and Florida.

I am one of those Hillary democrats that was a Reagan democrat that will be voting for McCain in the fall if Obama gets the nomination. I am fairly socially conservative so I like McCain. I am not a leftist loon. I do not agree with most of what Obama is about. I would never vote for Him. I am lucky I like McCain I have no problem voting for Him. He is not Bush, he crosses party lines, Obama never has. He stands up for what he believes in. I love Hillary but I would be Happy with McCain.

Did you actually think that Mr. Obama wanted to make sure everybody got a chance to vote, and that those votes would be counted?

Florida and Michigan do not even count, according to Obama. There are plenty of hispanics in FL, and Obama doesn't seem to want to count ANY of them. Just look at his Afrocentric "church" he belongs to. Does anyone see any reverence to hispanics there?

Obama wants to reach out to the crazy man in Iran, not to American-loving hispanics.

I'm sorry I had to break the news to you.
