How do we rebuild the Democratic Party in the midst of all this controversy?

Nothing Obama says or does now will get me to vote for him. I still have some time left to either switch or not vote. This is going to be hard when I think of how hard women had to fight to get the right to vote. I feel kind of disloyal not to vote at all but it seems as if we really are between the rock and a hard place!

I agree, if Obama win the nomination I will not vote. I am mad at the way he handle the press and voters. First he denounced his pastor in his blog and said he never heard such comments, then when this is not working he went on tv and gave a good speech. In his mind, it's ok I am a good speaker, I am charismatic, I'll get away with it. People still love me and vote for me. He treat me and voters as a bunch of idiots. He insult my intellingence so much that I am angry.

I understand what you mean, but I cannot get myself to switch parties. My husband is republican and strongly supports McCain...we are a house divided...but I cannot even begin to imagine supporting 4 more years of Bush Policy. If Obama wins the nomination I will not vote. I dont trust him and I think he is politics as usual. I fear that in his heart he believes what Wright preaches and well that scares me. His wifes remark "I am finally proud to be an American" leads me to believe that he probably feels the same. My fear is that there will be many more democrats like you and myself who 1)will switch parties or 2) will not vote. will there be enough that we could lose the white house to McCain. We need a democrat in office but the thought of Obama as that democrat worries me greatly. I dont know that there is anything that he can do to make me feel otherwise should he win the nomination. I think I would have felt better about him if he would have stepped up yesterday and said I will never go back to that church it is not what I stand for. then his whole unity speech may have hit a nerve. but it didnt, the speech did quite the opposite for me.

yeah i agree. if he gets the call at 3 am you can guarantee that naval ships will disembark, fighter jets will be on the way and another big hit here at home. I hope you are right. I will be attending our county convention next week. It will be interesting to see how it all goes. I am a delegate for my precinct. I hope the buzz is as strong as it was during the primary and caucus

I hope that the momentum changes in the next few months for Hillary. If she can get big wins we still have a chance.

that is a good thought. it would definitely be interesting if the DNC would push for a dual ticket. I like this idea.
