Personally, at this point I think it's best to just ignore this. There haven't been any actual ugly tactics, yet, just talk of how the superdelegates might go, etc.

Obama is looking very good right now. Let's stay positive and not go negative.

Hillary's message has become whining about this or that. Who wants to hear someone whine?

New Hillary slogan: "No You Can't!"

I agree with Ben. This is all tough talk anyway. If Obama gets a decisive pledged lead, she'll withdraw, and if he only gets a small pledged lead, it's fair for her to stay in the race. The superdelegates don't have to go with the majority vote. Indeed, I think that the whole point of superdelegates is to give the party some say in the election. If they had to vote with the majority, then they would server no purpose

That said, I hope that Clinton withdraws for the good of the party, and I hope that the superdelegates go with the majority pledged, but I probably wouldn't feel that way if I didn't support Obama.

Hillary dropping out is not the best thing for the party right now. Hillary keeping it clean and positive is.

Something tells me those are not the only two options.

To see how much Sen. Obama cares about the 'the will of the people', google "Obama knows ballot".

I really like this point you made:

Just imagine, the next Democratic presidential nominee selected by the very same members of Congress which cower to Bush and betray the voters on a day-to-day basis.

Even though it kind o' turns the stomach to think about.

WTF happened to all the "progressive" men lately? All I hear are a bunch of sexist troglodytes. Is the RedState?

The Clintons are going to have to be dragged off the stage. There is no indication that they will play the role of dignified elder statesmen/women at this point. They are already threatening to go all the way to Denver no matter what since they have already decided that there is no way of having the delegate count show "decisiveness" (by their definition) at this point.

Ted Kennedy knew what he was doing when he backed Obama. Remember, he knows the Clintons very, very well.

There's a lot of squawk about the legacies of RFK, and MLK jr, in this election. I don't feel I'm exagerating when I say both are probably spinning in their graves over this.

When John Lewis spoke about Obama inspiring the hope of an RFK, I rolled my eyes heavenward. I know it might be unfamiliar to the readers here, and I don't think it's a stretch to say that it might not mean much to your lot (though that has more to do with the lack of clarity of your vision, and your commitment to social justice and civil rights), but this is what inspired people about Robert F. Kennedy:

“Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of ourpublic officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it tells us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.” Robert F. Kennedy

After Kennedy ran for the senate, he introduced several projects in the state of NY, including assistance to underprivileged children and students with disabilities. He established the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation to improve living conditions and employment opportunities in economically depressed areas of Brooklyn.

Robert F. Kennedy addressed the needs of the poor, the young, racial minorities and Native Americans. It was a bit over 41 years ago, that he raised the awareness of the American people, and challenged them to consider the plight of the poor by going into urban ghettos, Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta and migrant workers’ camps.

Robert Kennedy was committed to the advancement of human rights worldwide. He traveled to Eastern Europe, Latin America and South Africa to expound upon his belief that all people should have a basic right to participate or criticize their government without fear.So it is extremely troubling to me that his brother, Senator Ted Kennedy can not spare the time to travel even to the impoverished cities and towns in his own state, Massachusetts. Where far too many American citizens, of all races and ethnicities suffer from the hardships and privations of dire poverty. Given that he has abandoned any goal of resolving the severe problems of un and under employment brought about by the outsourcing of jobs that stared in the 1980s.

The senator, who supported George Bush’s disastrous “No Child Left Behind”, has embraced the Bush administrations, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s drive to erode American wage standards and workplace laws and protections.

Given the stands taken by his late brother Robert, one has to ask why the senator from Massachusetts ignores the suffering in his own backyard? The late RFK believed in championing the causes of those in poor countries to help empower them to stand up against the dictators and despots who sought to oppress them, to demand better standards of living.

Senator Ted Kennedy, seems more interested in providing cover for those same types of despots and dictators by assisting George Bush in imposing third world wage suppression in the U.S. . The masses of illegal aliens imported into the country are being exploited to expend their energy to create the same types of economic conditions here that exist in their home countries. They are being used as pawns in a game that will lead to their own further exploitation. Immigration law is not domestic, but foreign policy. Those who seek to treat it as domestic policy do so because they wish to adopt the greedy and cruel policies of the third world.Driving down wages, increasing poverty and extinguishing hope. What this tells me is that the senator is the sort of man his two late brothers, President John F. Kennedy, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, would have railed against.

Ted Kennedy was picking a horse in a race, that is all he was doing. I grew up respecting Ted, defending him. I used to respect Patrick as well, until as a constituent of his, I learned the real truth about where he stood on the issues. Ted is a slumlord, and in the pockets of corporate and foreign interests. His brother Robert and MLK jr would Gibbs smack him were they here today.

As to Caroline, while I have respect for her, and her loss. I admire her having written a book on civil rights, the woman hasn't spoken out on social justice or even addressed the civil rights threats we face as a nation. Her endorsement, like those of her uncle Ted and cousin Patrick meant diddley squat to me.

The decisive aspect of your argument is this:

Just imagine the next Democratic presidential nominee selected by the very same members of Congress which cower to Bush and betray the voters on a day-to-day basis.

Absolutely devastating.

Right on.
