Reply #19: For the majority of the history of the Democratic Party the [View All]

candidate was decided upon at the convention, often on the floor, many times as a result of decisions and deals made in back rooms.

Sen Obama is far to young to remember and the very young, inexperienced young people who he has attracted to his campaign certainly do not remember.

If Obama is the choice of the party and ultimately the choice of the nation, then a prolonged primary, through the final decision at the convention should not be a problem.

Senator Clinton speaks for more then 17 million who find her message to be important and relevant to the future of this nation. To say that because Sen Obama has secured a tiny majority over her effort, Senator Clinton should be silenced and that her supporters, should have no say at our convention, is ludicrous and fankly damned Republican-like.

If Obama does not have spine and guts enough to weather a Democratic Convention process then every one of his supporters should question if he has what it takes to lead this nation.
