Debra Bartoshevich is the stupidest rat imaginable, because this rat is climbing ONTO a sinking ship! McCain and the Republicans are going down in flames this year. If Bartoshevich thinks she'd like to go along for the ride, welcome to it! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Bartoshevich’s statement about the war is in direct opposition to Hillary Clinton’s position of withdraw.

You don't hold the party together (much less grow it) by kicking out anyone who fails to worship the messiah of the moment. *So Bartoshevich is a devoted Democrat, but she’ll be voting against her interests come this fall?*

Well after 8 years of the Bush Regime if a person still believes that they need psychiatric help." For me, it was eight years of Bush that confirmed these suspicions. “Some say the Democrats and Republicans are all the same.

Oh what planet are any of hillary's thoughts/policies/etc. any where near McCain's? hillary and Obama match on policies almost exactly and on the ones they differ [like healthcare] she goes further than Obama which is even further away from McCain's. It's your right to support whoever you want [I for example felt Ron Paul was best to solve this countries problems] but I recommend using your brain when you vote and not just emotions.

The rules that existed before the campaign started, combined with the primary and caucus voters expressing their will made Obama the Democratic nominee. When someone who says they are a Democrat and were/are a strong supporter of Clinton now says they think McCain is the better candidate I wonder exactly what criteria they are using.

Hillary is the one, we all think best represent us as Commander in Chief. But the DNC, again make a big mistake in choosing a best qualified candidate for Democratic Party. Our family members , friends, co- workers are still come up with the only issue that we will contribute to the BEST candidate for now. AND we think John McCain is BEST FOR NOW.

Democrat, I think not. Gender biased by her, I think so. Hope she will be a former Democrat and not show her face at any Democratic function. And after that maybe she will work for McCains' next appointment to the Supreme Court? Or maybe his appointment to all of the cabinet that has to deal with Equal Rights for Women? Gee, she will be among friends indeed. Maybe she will shoulder up to the supressors of women there in the Repulican "Big Tent" Good luck to you. Go Obama Give Debra her walking papers.
