I'll say up front that I'm not the person to be doing this. But I've waited for a dairy entry like this to surface in the last 48 hours. Apologies if one has, but I couldn't find it.


I'm just a working stiff who wants to see a Democratic president inaugurated next January. It's what made these last four years barely tolerable.

I've enjoyed the Democratic primary process a lot since January. I know my own moribund state party was totally re-energized by the turnout it generated.

But these last couple of weeks, it's really turned ugly. Geraldine Ferraro was the last straw. Somehow, one-by-one, the Clinton campaign has made be dislike people whom I've always admired. Sorry, Clinton supporters, but I don't think I'm alone.

If there was any chance of Clinton ending the primary season with more delegates, I'd say let the process continue, no matter how bloody. But this is going nowhere. If she overrules the primary process with super delegate support, they'll be a civil war within the Party that will take a generation to heal. If she
doesn't, she'll have used up every Republican talking point in the book to bring Obama's numbers down. Either alternative is unacceptable to
me. Not because I'm a Obama cult member - I began as an Edwards supporter - but because I want to see a Democrat in the White House this time next year.


OK, so I've had it. And it makes me furious that Howard Dean and Al Gore and John Edwards and Speaker Pelosi have not come out publicly and said: "This must stop; Clinton doesn't have a path to the nomination, and we need to focus our attention on McBush. Let's round up the superdelegates we need for a first round nomination and make sure this thing ends right now."


This mess won't end anytime soon without some kind of meeting of the minds of these Democratic Party leaders. Since they're reluctant to do so on Gov.
their own, they need a people-powered push. So if you've had it too, here's contact information for all of those people to let them know what you think and how you want them to resolve this.



(These contact numbers and address are the best I could do on a quick search during a break. If anyone else has better info, please post in the comments and I'll update as soon as I can)
