Why won&#8217;t Barack Obama and the DNC let the votes count in Michigan and Florida? Because if they let the votes count, then Hillary Clinton leads in the popular vote. Per ABC News:

Obama: 16,647,926

		<description>i will re-state my opinion from the prior thread on getting a grip.  i am a life-long dem and strong hillary supporter.  i am very angry at the dems in congress and the actions of the DNC and the general ganging up against hillary this entire election season.  john edwards was wrong to endorse yesterday.  the time for an honorable endorsement had long passed...

it is time for the dems in congress to do their job.  they abdicated acting on their mandate from the &#039;06 midterms in order to preserve their &#039;08 electability.  this was a gross miscarriage of duty.  they compounded that by playing politics with the lives of our troops.  they need to learn how to be effective even with a republican in the white house.

i am not advocating electing mccain, but i am not into voting blindly for any democrat on the ballot either.  barack obama has not won my vote.  i am not inspired by a lot of empty talk about change and hope.  i want a president who will really fight for the democratic agenda.  i want a president who talks about the democratic agenda.  have any of you heard hillary&#039;s stump speech and compared it to obama&#039;s?

i am offended by the outrageous behavior of the obama supporters.  the disrespect toward hillary is really not forgiveable.  obama had better move toward ending that or he&#039;s lost me for good.

also, i have one last grudge...  against the media.  they really need to be put in their place.  their behavior during this primary season has been outrageous as well, and even less forgiveable than the wretched behavior of the obama campaign and his minions.  electing hillary is really the only way to put them in their place.  if she is denied the nomination, then they have won no matter what since they are equally in love with &quot;saint mccain&quot; and &quot;the one&quot;...  i guess i can cancel my subscription to the NY Times and turn off cable news...

bottomline:  obama needs to work a lot harder to win my vote and the dems have to become more honorable.  the party i have seen during this primary season is very, very ugly (even if they aren&#039;t as bad as the republicans -- and that is no compliment.)</description>

		<description>I realized a week or so ago that I will not be able to vote for Obama.  I won&#039;t vote for McCain, either, but I will skip the Presidential part of the ballot if Obama is the nominee.

I understand Hillary&#039;s perspective and respect her commitment to the Democratic Party, but :

1. I would rather have a real Republican in the White House than a faux Republican.

2. I cannot vote for a man who has demonstrated a willingness to throw Hillary and his grandmother and women in general under the bus in order to get the nomination.

3.  But, most importantly, Obama is simply not qualified to be President.  This is the most important job in the world.  Heaven knows that Americans have elected a bunch of numbskulls over the years, but it&#039;s hard to think of anybody with less experience of any kind than Obama.  As near as I can tell from his history, all he has demonstrated is an overriding ambition and a stunning lack of interest in actual policy or governing.  There is a lot about McCain not to like, and he could prove to be every bit as much of a disaster as Bush 43 - but he&#039;s a known quantity and Obama is not.

In short, it&#039;s not a question of race or party, it&#039;s a question of experience.

So I will let others decide this one because I cannot in good conscience vote for either man.</description>

		<description>The race isn&#039;t over yet so it feel premature to be guessing what I will or won&#039;t do.  It will depend on many things.  I know that you, Pamela, feel strongly any democratic in the white house would be better however, I will not commit to anything right now other than supporting Senator Clinton all the way to the convention, and I hope for 8 more years beyond.

I will decide what to do when and if the situation demands it.</description>
