I also believe that this has been very good for the party, because of the new voters registured. how can we allow half of the dem party to feel disenfranchised. if barack obama, and hillary clinton, really want what is best for the american people, the wil both agree to this idea. i feel a little sick about the fact that , our dem party is torn between two history making presidential candidates. i feel the only way to truely connect the two halves, is to vote both.

Obama and his staff will turn McCain every which way but loose.
