In all the elections in this primary (and the projected voter turnout for the last few), 33,475,633 people have voted for a democratic candidate in this primary.

This is just the primary turnout! 33 and a half MILLION PEOPLE.

70% of Americans say this country needs to change the direction it's going under the republicans.

60% of Americans say the economy is screwed up and it's the biggest issue this year.

Both democratic candidates have credible solutions to some of our economic problems.

John McCain does not.

68% of Americans think the war in Iraq is a bad idea, costs too much, and wasn't worth the lives it's cost, and needs to end sooner rather than later.

John McCain does not.

All three candidates Hillary, Obama, and Mccain are running neck and neck in the national polls.

Hillary and Obama are beating the snot out of each other over everything ever day, thus lowering each others numbers considerably.

No one is attacking John McCain. AND HE STILL CAN'T WIN..running unopposed.

And all of you Hillary and Obama supporters with your heads in your hands, or hunched over your keyboards screaming at each other.

"We CAN'T WIN now, we're too divided!"

And furthermore,you're all saying the EXACT SAME THING, "now Democrats can't win..and it's all YOUR fault."

(Insert candidate's name here) got screwed over by (insert other candidates name here) now (insert candidate's name) A) won't get to win this for us or B) will get eaten by the dreaded REPUBLICAN HATE MACHINE!!!!

3 3, 4 7 5, 6 3 3 can EASILY drown out the republican hate machine. The Democratic candidate should easily have a freaking WALK THROUGH this year.Are you kidding we could elect flippin NADER with those kind of numbers. The republicans are peeing on themselves about it.

The only way that a dem can lose is if 16,737,816 people (about half) who call themselves democrats decide to skip the whole thing, or go vote for McCain.

Stop being the people you hate. You know, those people you've been bitching about for the last 8 years under GWB. Those people who just "couldn't" vote for Kerry or Al Gore. Those people who obviously thought that their hurt feelings were more important than American Soldiers LIVES.

Hurt feelings happen in any election..As a democrat, I am seriously looking forward to passing my pain and angst on to some Republicans in the fall. Join me..

"Are you kidding we could elect flippin NADER with those kind of numbers"

I wouldn't go that far...but I agree with much of what you say.

The Dems won't be in tatters once there's an official nomine.

"The only way that a dem can lose is if 16,737,816 people (about half) who call themselves democrats decide to skip the whole thing, or go vote for McCain."

Don't discount the Electoral College - or did you forget about 2000?

I do understand (and dislike) the electoral college.

But dems are so energized and the issues facing this country are so (forgive me) black and white, that I don't see us losing this one.

Unless we have massive defections to the other side.

Thanks for the post. Now everybody needs to start demanding that the media start reporting on John McCain. Not poker games. Not BBQ. Not jokes in the back of the bus. REPORTING. REMEMBER THAT?

Bravo,Thevail.Outstanding post.

Thank you. I just really don't want to see 4 more years of war, and economic disaster, and presidential executive uber-privelege, and torture, and wire tapping on the American people.

I really just think any democrat that votes for McCain out of some sense of vengeance is really going to be kicking themselves in the butt by January 2010 when we have 5,000 dead and are still in Iraq for the forseeable future.

God knows, I'm gonna want to kick them in the butt.
